2 of My FAVORITE Fall Trends & The Best Place to Buy Vintage Inspired Band Tee’s
You barely need to look outside to know it’s Fall here in Seattle. The biting wind on your commute to work or the multi-colored leaves littering the sidewalk all solidify the fact that yes, the season’s have changed which means it’s time for some new trends. Now that we have had a full fashion month of fashionistas showing off their finest looks there are a few of these trends that REALLY stand out and that I am personally thrilled to embrace. The first would be the Band Tee. No surprise here if you follow me on Instagram I was 100% on board with this trend as soon as it started…

3 things are all you need for a perfectly polished look, that’s all you need in order to pull together a great outfit that is Fall ready and on trend. What I find so compelling about this idea is that you already have these 3 things in your closet in some form or another. Sure over the knee and ankle boots are on trend at the moment but that doesn’t mean your classic knee high boots need to get tossed.

Ethereal Florals Meet Menswear: Part 1

Zara did a full line of dresses this past summer with various crochet and asymmetrical details telling us that the trend is just beginning. These are dreamy florals in washed out colors with subtle knife pleating that plays with the light and the shadows.
