Fall Fash 411

While I sit and write on this chilly and rainy afternoon, I realize it is time to let fall back into our lives again and what better way to do that than with fashion! Below are some fun new ways to add to your autumn filled wardrobe. 

Collar Necklaces

Collar Necklaces have become very popular lately and are such a versatile accessory. Be sure to pair them with plain tops or dresses, like Elizabeth Banks. For more detail or volume, add a sparkly collar necklace over your neutral one.

Mustard Yellow Blouses

Mustard Yellow is a darker shade of the yellow you sport in summer. This color presents a fall vibe and looks awesome on most people. Be sure to accompany your blouse with dark washed jeans like Kristen Dunst.

Leather Leggings

Leather Leggings are one of falls most exciting trends. Sport your leather like Kim Kardashian with cute and funky tops and accessorize with neutral and simple jewelry.

Purple Heels

Opt for some fantastic purple heels and model them around work or while out shopping. Work them with an all black ensemble like Megan Fox or with a cute LBD and flashy jewels.

Mixed Greens

Jessica Alba knows what is up while she totes around an adorable mixed green shoulder bag. Look for accessories with different shades of green and pair them with neutral colors and prints.

All Navy

Navy is like the new neutral. You can flaunt an all navy ensemble and look totally put together like Camilla Belle. She goes gorge in this color while working together some classic pieces.

Les Chic, Les Chien (Week Eight)

Each week, I review one hundred looks, half of which induce the phonetic uh-mey-zing and half of which induce more violent vomit than the night Jake chose Vienna. With this series (translation: the cool, the rotten), you will ascertain, via my eyes, why an ensemble should spend an evening as your apparel or why an ensemble should spend an evening inside a nondescript box whose ultimate destination is the Salvation Army.

So many people tell me how much I resemble Camilla Belle. I am totes going to take that as a compliment, especially after this week. I love love love her printed summer frock and adore her added matching belt that enhances her curves. She mixes funky gold earrings, a simple diamond necklace, fun bangles and a pink pastel shoulder bag while supplying the perfect touch with unique sunnies. Thank god I didn't chop off my hair last week, even better reason to look like this goddess. Amazing!

Amanda Bynes has had a rough year and it looks like she is taking it on while going all out in this miserable looking outfit. Since when was it okay to mix floral, flag print and leopard all in one. Don't forget to mention the fact she has a checker Louis Vuitton wallet and quilted black leather Chanel handbag. What went wrong? Well, everything. Nothing meshes together AT ALL. Oh Amanda, I know you're all about being funny but please lets just stick to the movies. After this, I'm not sure you'll ever be cast again.

Nightmare At The Museum

The 65^th Met Ball transpired this evening and while a minuscule portion ensured this event was as advertised, Fashion’s Night of Nights, the vast majority of luminaries essentially served as extras within Anna Wintour’s directorial debut, Night of the Lavishly Damned. Below are my Best and Worst Dressed and frankly, restraining myself with only a trio of the latter was a serious accomplishment.

BEST DRESSED

Camilla Belle, whom I seriously adore and I've been told I resemble (not bragging), exudes seductive resplendence in this Ralph Lauren roaring twenties inspired beaded silver gown. The Open Road star's mysterious eyes and lips further evoke an explicit question: How is she perpetually perfect? 

Ashley Greene and Donna Karan's spectacular courtship continued as the 1996 CFDA Womenswear Designer of the Year bequeathed the Americana actress this phenomenal frock. The design exquisitely encapsulates Ashley's stated style, classic with a modern twist.

Jessica Biel, whose playful and pleasant personality I enjoyed upon meeting her inside the Beverly Hills Hotel, owned this simple, yet striking Prada. The gown's glow almost exceeded the future Mrs. Justin Timberlake's sixteen and one half carat engagement ring.

WORST DRESSED

Mary-Kate Olsen, I have seriously loved you and your sister since Full House and I'm Talking How The West Was Fun and Winning London, but seriously what the Future Charlie's Angel were you thinking? The Dual Star Co-President appears thirty years north of aged and thirty pounds south of frail in this The Row, which is MKO's label, gown. I'm seriously reconsidering every compliment I ever extended her.

Florence Welch, you are a Grammy nominated and MTV Video Music Award winning musician, but you require a stylist (call me!). This Alexander McQueen catastrophe, and I'm using a charitable adjective, could whimsically clothe Lady Gaga as she performs Edge of Glory. However, this Christmas Tree is NOT acceptable Met Ball attire.

Gwyneth Paltrow, wearing the exact label Jessica Biel enhanced, appears as if Moses not only consumed every ounce of her hot water (yes, she showers with her children), he also monopolized every moment she could and should have spent before a mirror. This Prada abomination commences with inappropriate side boob and concludes with saddle bags sufficiently large for holding Apple (her daughter, not the snack).

For Those About To Rock...

While baseball and fireworks are the activities which are scribbled upon our calendars and vastly ignored until within hours of their occurrence, music festivals are the most anticipated and most intensely craved aspect of summer. From Bonnaroo and Coachella to JazzFest and Lollapalooza to Summerfest and Warped Tour, even your own city and county's exhibition; as you embark upon the annual shared experience of screaming and shaking your @$$ among strangers, mirror the example of this trio of attendees, whose style stood up and was counted.

Camilla Belle flutters into Coachella wearing a white floral printed dress and detailed short sleeve sweater, which she accents with brown boots, a white shoulder bag, and any festival's most essential accessory, fab sunnies to protect your eyes from the bright sun.

Kate Hudson channels her inner flower child in a simple gray tank and adorable lace skirt. The Something Borrowed Star and fiancee of Muse front man Matthew Bellamy concludes her ensemble with short booties, sunnies and tons of bangles.

Rachel Bilson intermixes cute and casual in a fun printed tank and jean shorts, sunnies, nude sandals, and an awesome drawstring bag, which perfectly pops the detail of her outfit.
