The Fall 2015 Gucci girl has a nonchalant attitude toward fashion and still gets all the attention! Gucci makes geek street fashion chic and possibly the most fun to mimic this season. The muted color palette and 70's inspired vibe is eclectic and easy-going. I posted about Zara's 'Gucci inspired' collection a while back - fast fashion stores are practically replicating the Gucci style and producing trendy, inexpensive items. Pictured here are apparel and accessories from Mango and Zara.

Luxury Fashion For Less: Burberry Prorsum
October 06, 2015
The Burberry Prorsum Fall 2015 collection, 'Patchwork, Pattern and Prints' showcased 70's inspired chic bohemian style. Floral and fringe dominated the runway and each look was as inspiring as the last. The suede fringe cape was my favorite. The elderberry colored cape retails for €7,250! You can buy a similar style at Mango in cognac for €99,99! This neutral color would look great paired with dark denim and bordeaux over-the-knee boots.
The Burberry Prorsum show always introduces a new style of handbag featured in that seasons favorite colors and embellishments. The Fall 2015 collection showcased the 'Bucket Bag' in two sizes, prints, suede and of course fringed. Pictured here is a dark green fringed suede bag by Mango. Bucket shaped, jewel tone and fringed - embodies everything necessary to pull off a Burberry Prorsum inspired look.

Luxury Fashion For Less: Chloé
October 05, 2015
My favorite collection this season is without a doubt Chloé. Fleetwood Mac, corduroy, shag and ponchos - the Chloé girl is feminine, carefree and fashionable.
I was beyond excited when I walked into Mango and realized I could re-create many Chloé Fall 2015 looks for a reasonable price. Shopping spree! I got to thinking, I'm gonna browse fast-fashion stores and share my findings with you. From the runway to your closet, this week I am focused on bringing you trendy looks for a fraction of the cost. Stay tuned..

Dried Herb
October 01, 2015
These green hues were once referred to as army or olive green and mostly used in military-inspired collections or chic safari attire. A new name and applied to all facets of fashion - 'dried herb' hues are a staple for Fall 2015. These earthy tones are neutral and should be paired with similarly warm colors. For a sophisticated look, substitute black and don chic attire in dried herb hues. Wear a sheer green top with tailored pants in a slightly darker shade, or layer dried herb greens atop dark blue and cream - dark blue denim flares, tan shoes, a cream-colored silk blouse and green cape - perfection! Feeling casual, go military-style in a modern way by paring cargo pants and a sheer sweater. Natural colored fur (preferably faux) compliments warm green tones and transforms your look from casual to sophisticated and chic.

The Micro Bag
September 25, 2015
The micro bag is having a macro moment this season. Just big enough to hold your essentials, these bags make a cute statement. Channel your seventies vibe in this Chloé bag or cuddle up to this miniature furry bag by Fendi. Elevate your look and hang a Fendi micro "peekaboo' bag on the handle of a larger tote - kinda like a bag charm. Love this trend!

Over-the-knee & Oversized
September 21, 2015
Oversized capes and ponchos atop over-the-knee boots are the perfect pairings for Fall. Showcased in Fall 2015 runway shows: Chloé, Burberry, Thakoon and more - capes and ponchos look effortlessly chic. Opt for an oversized poncho atop fitted pants and over-the-knee boots, or a shorter hem cape paired with flared pants and a chunky heel. A heavy knitted poncho is an essential layer for Fall, both cozy and on-trend. Over-the-knee boots can be tricky (sometimes garish), but paired with long, oversized knits and tights or fitted pants look classy and chic. If you only try a few trends this season, let it be a cape or poncho and over-the-knee boots.

The Bodysuit
September 14, 2015
I don't remember how old I was the last time I wore a bodysuit, but it was in the nineties and I had a drawer full of them. I suddenly feel old! Bodysuits have kinda lingered in the background over the years - I purchased a Wolford bodysuit a few years ago and felt the body-hugging fit was unflattering and showing off all my imperfections (I returned it). Thankfully the 'cropped top' trend forced me to maintained a flat stomach and bodysuits are an option again. I love a turtleneck bodysuit paired with high-waisted flares or cropped trousers (high-waisted is a must). One of my favorite looks for Fall is my Tibi stretch-jersey turtleneck bodysuit and cropped stretch-jersey wide-leg pants in dark grenache - I am a bit obsessed with monochromatic looks. Channeling the seventies this season, opt for a simple turtleneck design in neutral shades paired with corduroy or denim flares and a thick heel. Visit NET-A-PORTER and browse Donna Karan NY, Wolford and Body Editions for simple and unexpected bodysuit designs.

Skirted Trousers
September 07, 2015
Ok, this first time I saw the skirted trouser trend, I thought it was odd, but this chic look is swiftly growing on me. What changed my mind? These Commes Des Garçons Vintage Skirted Trousers - LOVE! Skirted trousers were seen all over the Spring 2015 runways, but fashion chatter speculated whether we would see it on the streets. Bloggers, celebrities and models made it happen and now a new season is here and the skirted trouser trend has evolved.. Rag & Bone showcased silk dresses and knee length skirts atop tailored pants in the Fall 2015 runway show. This collection shows that layering all-over, both top and bottom is fresh and innovative.
Update your pant look and opt for skirted, wrap or apron trousers. Loose fitting pants with material wrapped, tied around your waist and landing just short of your knees or all the way to your hem are casual and cool. An apron or skirt atop your tailored pants are modern, intriguing and attention-getting. Make a fancy statement by wearing a full, ruffled skirt over tailored pants (my favorite). Happy layering..
