Roberto Cavalli: South Coast Plaza

Last week as I charged through South Coast Plaza (the largest mall in California-I die!!) in Costa Mesa, my friend and I came upon the most magnificent Roberto Cavalli collection on display for the public. While we were a floor up from the gathering below, seriously surprised but also very excited as to what we just witnessed, we literally ran to the glass elevators and rode down to the first floor as fast as it would get us there. When we walked up to the amazing gowns that A-list celebrities have worn from 2003 to today, we couldn't help but snap pictures and gush over the brilliant pieces. They were all perfectly draped upon a mannequin and the detail of each frock was magnificent. I immediately thought of you, my readers, and knew you guys would be very interested and inspired, just like us.

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.

Sassy Scarves

When we think of scarves, we usually think of winter with their warmth and the playfulness they add to any outfit. Recently however, we have seen lots of scarves for spring. Typically light weight and made of cool refreshing fabrics, you won't overheat as they inject a chic and flirty vibe to any ensemble. Pair one with an adorable maxi dress or t-shirt and jeans.

Minka Kelly rocks this scarf with a darling maxi dress and jean jacket.

Megan Fox goes casual with her scarf, pairing it with a gray t-shirt, jeans and messy bun.

Elizabeth Banks completes her more sophisticated look with a flirty leopard scarf.

The Perfect Stocking Stuffer
