Glitterati Rules
By: Wendy Owen
One of the most surprising fashion returns of the season is, well…anything shiny. Sequined tops, metallic purses, belts and shoes? Bring ‘em on.
Strange as it may seem, gilded and sterling looks just keep coming back. For such an overstated fashion palate to last this long is unusual…and the shiny stuff isn’t on its way out yet. For fall, gold is generally being replaced with silver. Stars like Beyonce have already been seen rockin’ weave belts of the silver variety.
While metallics are still hot for the fall, there are a few guidelines to adhere to in order to look tasteful and not tacky after the summer months:
1) One hue at a time please! Only your grandmother could pull off silver and gold all in the same ensemble…but that was in 1986. Pick one hot metallic at a time and go with it.
2) One item at a time please! It was cute to be matchy matchy in the summer with your gold hobo bag, and gold sandals, and gold bag…just pick one item at a time to glitz up for the fall.
3) Evening hours only! Only the most daring fashionista can pull off the shiny stuff in the daytime during the fall months. If this is your first time experimenting with metallics, wear it for evenings out first.
While the over saturated boho look may be on its way out, don’t throw out your sequined skirts and tops yet! Paired with cowboy boots, your sparkly skirts will get a brand new makeover. And your sequined tunics? Well…save them for next summer.

Purple Reigns
By: Wendy Owen
Consider yourself plum lucky—romantic shades of purple are back for the fall. Stars like Katie Holmes are already sporting this sweet color casually and formally.
The best reinvention of purple in your wardrobe should definitely be of the velvet variety. Velvet in any color is hot right now, but purple in dark, regal tones is a winner. But be careful—too much purple velvet and you will look like Willy Wonka.
Not ready to go full on purple? Try to accessorize with purple instead. A crushed velvet clutch or a satin headband would be a great start for the violet-wary.
Ready to take the purple plunge? Go ultra-romantic with a purple dress in a whimsical cut (extra bonus points if it is in velvet with a corset!). However, avoid head to toe purple or you will look more goth than glam. Break it up with neutral or metallic accessories and shoes, and stay away from pairing purple with black.
Dark shades of purple look especially radiant on fair skinned women like Nicole Kidman, so pale girls; it’s your time to shine!

Made For Walkin’
By: Wendy Owen
The hot look of the moment for footwear has to be boots. Tucked into jeans or paired with a mini skirt, they are THE Hollywood accessory of the season. Whether they are beat up old cowboy boots or knee high heels, no girl should consider herself dressed without them.
Why you ask? Well, boots signify the changing of the seasons. Strappy sandals are cute, but not in subfreezing weather. Boots add a little flair, while still being sensible, and can go from uptown and urban to free spirited bohemian.
Best Pick: Metallic Riding Boot from Prada
Definitely a “wish list” item, these boots have it all—simple lines of a cowboy boot and a mid-calf cut in a hue that will already go with your great metallic summer pieces. Perfect paired with jeans and a gold weave belt or a flowy boho dress.
Word to the wise; wear your boots right. Don’t pair them with too big clothes, and buy them the right size so that your calves don’t spill out over the top.
