Life can be a balancing act. Moving ourselves from summer into fall does not have to be. The pre fall season is all about you and your unique style. Tell your story with confidence and grace, as you choose some fabulous endorsements designers have given us to choose from this season.

A must this season is the bell sleeve.  It’s abound and it’s fabulous. If you’re heading to the office with your basic shift dress, take it up a notch and go for the bell sleeve. A billowy blouse with a skirt works perfectly with that flowy bell. It’s such an effortless update yet it speaks volumes.  A casual approach to the bell sleeve is a cozy sweater paired with jeans. Coupled with trousers or a cigarette pant, the secret is the seeping cuff should captivate every move. Think fluidity.

When the chill starts to slowly drift into our earlier sunsets, the temptation is to layer. A reflex that any fashion diva is familiar with. But try to go with a just a bit less and think simple yet statement. 

That’s a wrap. The wrap coat snuggly, soft, loosely tied.  A timeless beauty that needs to be in the line up this fall. The laid back silhouette that is sweeping the runways. The wrap coat in warm hues of cashmere is just the perfect way to ease into the cool crisp fall season. No need to overdo this touch of elegance on a chilly autumn day. Less is more here. 

Bell sleeve, check.  Outer wear, check what’s…next?  Of course, the challenge of our feet. The perfect block healed bootie. We are not traipsing through the snow yet so it’s the green light to go for an open toe. Try a caramel colored suede bootie. Stomping down the runways, the calf bootie or ankle bootie is about expressing a woman’s strength. Choose your colors, shapes, and heel size to express yourself. The bootie works with work attire, when toned down. Date night loves a sleek take on the bootie.  The height of the heel may let the weekend know just how happy your feeling that it’s Friday. 

This fall it is really effortless to be chic. With just a few simple but updated pieces, they will take you from the office or school to a weekend rendezvous and everything in between. All you have to do is express your self and the fall air will serve up the rest.
