Fall 2012 Trends

Summer is not yet over but already the fashion world has moved on, for some time now, to Fall!  I love to peruse any information I see about Fall Fashions before the season begins too; learning what the colors and styles will be, and to see if there are any trends to follow.

Where trends are concerned, I firmly believe that it is best to choose the look that will work best for you.  You can follow a trend, but you should tweak it to make it your own! This is how you discover your own sense of style!

I love receiving emails from Ken Downing, Fashion Director for Neiman Marcus!  He shared quite a lot of details in his latest E-mail newsletter to me!  To start off, one of Fall's fashion trend will be the:
Statement Handbag:

Michael Kors Skorpios Haircalf Ring Tote - $1,695

from Neiman Marcus on neimanmarcus.com
Yes, animal print continues even into the Fall season!  Budget conscious divas will do what we do best and shop around for the look at the cost that will fit our budgets! (or wait for NM's sales which can be quite the bargain!)

Guess what other trend continues into Fall?  Patterns & Prints! But this time Digital Prints!  

Lavinia One-Shoulder Dress - $550

from Neiman Marcus on neimanmarcus.com

If you take a closer look at this dress, you'll see just how beautiful it is. Unfortunately I do not see a size over 12; but I did notice others that were size 14s, such as the cocktail dress below:


Sequinned Taffeta Cocktail Dress - $398
from Neiman Marcus on neimanmarcus.com

Are you thinking about those holiday parties yet?  Me neither! But don't let that stop you from thinking about them!

Other trends for Fall are: Mixed Greens! That is, the color green in any look you like!  You can wear the different shades of green and even mix them up! I've done that before.
Etro green turtle neck and green tweed boot-cut pants - $430 & $845
from Neiman Marcus on neimanmarcus.com

Navy will be the new neutral! 
We don't always have to wear black!
Alice + Olivia Asymmetric Silk Top - $198
from Neiman Marcus on neimanmarcus.com


Women in men's wear style will be hot! (again!)

 Belstaff Weskit Quilted Vest, Ascot Georgette Blouse & Derby                  Stretch-Tweed pants -$195-$1295                       from Neiman Marcus on neimanmarcus.com

I love men's wear trousers!

Next trend, a pair of must-have-flats!
But not just any 'ole' flats, The Smoking Slipper!
Prada's The Cavallino Side-logo flats -  $690
from Neiman Marcus on neimanmarcus.com


And last but not least on the Trend List for Fall, A Brooch!
Fragments Deco Star Brooch - $125
from Neiman Marcus at neimanmarcus.com

Ooooh, I LOVE baubles!!!! 

There you have it curvy divas, the Fall Trend list from Neiman Marcus' Ken Downing!  He's got great taste! Now your mission is, to shop and treat yourself to one or two or more of these items, and remember you can shop and compare to suit your diva needs!

Wearing Red

It's Valentine's Day again and I'm sure many of you curvy divas are wondering what to wear tonight?  Some of us have plans, but others will keep it low keyed at home...or not! Whatever you do curvy divas, I found some great suggestions on Elle.com!  They featured RED , in everything, accessories, clothing, make up, even underwear!  Here are my favorite picks! I LOVE this dress! The silhouette is beautiful and will flatter most body types!  I checked and this item doesn't go larger than a size 12 by the designer, and they are out of this style at Neiman Marcus, however, it's a great look and you can find something similar elsewhere!  If it is too long, find a shorter length.

This beautiful dress is also not available in larger sizes. It goes to...

How to Wear Glitter in the Daytime

Have you ever worn sequin aka glitter?  It is pretty much a trend in fashion these days.  Glitter is worn mostly at nights and for real special and dressier occasions. But not so today curvy divas. Glitter can also be worn during the day!  I've worn glitter during the day time before and I try to make it look as understated as possible!  You don't need too much accessories when you wear glitter.  It is pretty much how you put your outfit together! On Elle.com Amanda Fitzsimons interviewed designer Marissa Webb who is known for using sequins during the daytime!  Amanda wanted to know if this look (daytime glitter) can really work? Marissa said it definitely can and thinks it is in how shine the sequinned (or glittered) garment that choose to wear is. It is not just in the size of the beadings at all! I tend to agree with her.   I don't think a really shiny sequinned garment on its own, would work for daytime. That would definitely be overkill! ...
