#4 NY FASHION

As I walk the streets of New York I am constantly noticing people wearing all the different fall trends for this year.  Everyone is looking great and inspiring me to spice up  my wardrobe!

1)      Leather Jackets

Leather jackets are everywhere! They’re the perfect item for fall.  Not only is it stylish, but it keeps you warm as the weather starts to get colder.  The most common color I’ve seen is obviously black, but I’ve also seen people wearing red and tan leather jackets.  This piece of clothing is the perfect way to add edginess to any outfit!

2)      Tights

Tights are a perfect accessory to any outfit this fall.  They can dress up an outfit or add a funky style to it, depending on what tights you wear.  I’ve seen so many people walking the streets in New York wearing tights.  The best part is they come in all different colors too, so they’re fun to wear.  It’s also perfect for fall because they help keep your legs warm in the cold.

3)      Sheer

I am loving anything sheer right now. From sheer tops to sheer skirts, I feel anything sheer is a must have item this fall.  Everyone around FIT is sporting the sheer look.  Its fun, it’s edgy, and it looks great. I am a huge fan!

4)      Scarves

Obviously a classic fall accessory is the scarf.  Everywhere I look I see more and more people wearing them as the weather gets colder.  Scarves are fun because they can spice up any outfit by adding color or a fun print.  My favorite scarves right now are the ones that the girl below is wearing!

#3 New York Times Blog

I read the fashion review "It’s Easy to See It Raf Simons’s Way" by Cathy Horyn.  She wrote about Raf Simon's new Jil Sander collection for Spring 2012.  After viewing his collection, fashion editors have been praising Simon's collection, saying that he deserves a Paris house. It's amazing how much he has learned in the past five years and all that he has extracted from Jil's universe.

The article continues to talk about and describe his new collection.  Cathy Horyn uses different descriptive words to talk about the fashion.  She expresses everything in great details, so the readers can picture the clothing and get a better idea of what she is talking about. She describes the prints by using words like fresh, lightened-up, and paisley.  She talks about the different fabrics and describes their colors and materials used such as white, blue, navy, gingham, cotton, and stretch.  Horyn talks about a jacket and describes it as snappy, then mentions the matching slim pants. The jackets are then described as lightweight, with a half lining of stiffened organza and an interior tie, which creates a contoured silhouette.  All these words describe the color, the fabric, the look, and the fit of the clothing. 

#2 Fall Trend

Sheer is Here!

My must have item for this fall is anything SHEER. From sheer tops to sheer skirts to sheer bell bottoms to sheer maxi dresses, sheer is everywhere. This look can be worn dressed up or dressed down, depending on how you interpret it.
