- Top 3 Fall Fashion Trends

Fall fashions have been in the stores as early as July. August is the time to replace worn out items from last year and update with a few trends from this year. Even if it is still 90 degrees where you are, now is the ideal time to get the best selections. The good news about the fall trends this year is that you will find many trends have carried over from last year! We love this because the more you can wear something the more value you can get out of it!

Jackets: You can't have too many jackets this season. Jackets are being seen in all sorts of materials including leather, suede, faux fur and colored denim. Military style jackets are particularly popular. They are the perfect way to layer and stay warm this winter. Tailored jackets also naturally have a slimming affect. This is one item that everyone can wear. Look for a perfect fit or get it altered to look just right!

Over-the-knee Boots: Boots in general are very in this fall. If you tried getting a pair late last winter, I hope you learned your lesson and will start shopping for your perfect boots now. They will likely sell out again this year as more and more people are pairing them with skinny jeans. Riding boots and boots with cuffs on the bottom are also popular.

Skinny Jeans/Jeggings: I remember years ago trying to convince people to buy a pair of skinny jeans. Many didn't want to invest in these stylish jeans because they thought they would be out of style. I've had mine for 5 or so years now...I don't think they are going anywhere. In fact, the jegging, which is a combination of a legging and a jean, is very hot too. You can't go wrong with a simple legging either. Pants that elongate and narrow your leg are in!

- Your Boyfriend Called...He Wants His Jeans Back!

I’ve never been a big fan of trends and this one is right there with the rest of them! The boyfriend jean really doesn’t flatter anyone! If you are fortunate enough to be thin - you should show off your figure and if you’ve got a few extra pounds – adding extra volume is only going to make you appear larger! In addition to making you look like your carrying some extra baggage, the cropped style is making your legs appear shorter and wider! Yes, it’s true. Your legs stop where the jeans end and this means you visually have 2’5��? legs or shorter for many of us petite types. Boyfriends jeans are a trend so if you must buy them, don’t waste your money on designer jeans because eventually they are going to be “out��? again (but probably not soon enough).

Instead of following the crowd this summer, opt for a classic white jean to add some style to your wardrobe. Here a few tips to pull off this summer chic jean:

1. Chose a jean instead of a pant as they are thicker and won’t show pockets or panty lines!

2. Wear nude (not white) thong panties – you don’t want lines or dark shadows!

3. Try a skinny jean for a straight figure or a bootcut style if you are curvier!

4. Pair white pants with a bright colored top or printed top to balance out a heavier bottom. Avoid wearing black or dark colors on top as you will visually exaggerate the width of your hip and thigh area!

5. Keep pockets minimal. Cargo pockets will add width to your hip area and flaps on the back pockets will add inches to your back side. If you are in need of a little extra curve, flap pockets on your bottom can do wonders!

- Fashionable Football Fan

Hey ladies, football season is here and chances are you'll be spending at least a few Sundays or Monday nights watching the game with your man or if your like me, with a great group of girlfriends (while looking for men). Whether you'll be hosting a party at your home or you'll be front row at the stadium, here are some great tips to keep you looking like the fashionable football fan you are!

You don't need to bulk-up for the game, but wearing a lot of layers whether you are inside or out can be hip. Think of long sleeve t-shirts with short-sleeve sweaters, graphic t-shirts, or shrunken blazers. There are a lot of fun sweater jackets in stores right now. Layer these with graphic t-shirts, cotton camisoles, or a fitted long sleeve t-shirt. If your lucky to go to one of the sunny games, wear a traditional 1" strapped ribbed tank with a cool graphic. Bring a coordinating hoodie/sweater jacket just in case the afternoon clouds/rain role in. A cotton, day casual sundress is very chic. Be sure to pair it with flip flops or casual sandals to keep from looking over dressed.

Jeans & Shoes. Jeans are all-American just like football. Chose a flattering style and color to keep your look put together and not sloppy. In general, most people look good in a boot-cut dark denim. Pair jeans with a cute flat or driving loafer rather than an athletic shoe. Another option is to find a fun casual sneaker. Don't know the difference between an athletic shoe and a sneaker? If you would run a mile or more in it, it is the wrong shoe.

Team Jersey. If you are going to wear a jersey, please don't borrow your boyfriend/husband's. You still need to pay attention to fit, even in a jersey. Several stores carry "women's fit" jerseys and if those are still too big, take a stroll in the kids section. Wear the jersey with a long sleeve fitted t-shirt, not a turtle neck which will have you looking like your mother, no matter what age you are. And whatever you do, don't tuck it in! This is sportswear not a dress shirt. If you feel like you need to tuck it in, then it is too big.

Team Colors. It's always chic to sport the team colors. But what if you're a Broncos Superfan and orange makes you look sick? Just wear the color away from your face. This is why layering is key.

Here are a few fashion fumbles for any football fan:

Heels. You'll just look out of place or like you are one the "fans" waiting for the players after the game.

Spaghetti strap tanks, low-cut shirts, tube tops. I don't think this needs an explanation, but see above.

Silk, rayon, linen or any fabrics used for dresses. with all the cheering, clapping and fist pumping you are sure to do, these materials will not only look out of place, but will just look disastrous at the end of the game.

Chandelier earrings. or any jewelry that could potentially injure you or someone nearby. (again, the fist pumping)

Athletic shoes. these are functional shoes, so unless you are running or training at the game, there is really no need to wear them.

Big T-shirts. We are talking the "I've been to Florida" and "Bud-Light" t-shirts here, not the cute shrunken graphic t-shirts. These are just frumpy and unflattering.

Anything wrapped around your waist. Whether it is your sweatshirt or your fanny pack, there is nothing attractive about adding extra bulk at your waist. Bring a cute tote or satchel type purse with you. It can hold all the stuff you would keep in your fanny pack and you can fold your sweatshirt over the top when you get hot.

Face Painting. If you've ever seen the Seinfeld episode where Elaine dates the face-painter, you'll know how ridiculous this is. Face painting ends at age 12. Period.
