Despite our week-long foray into the fall fashion trends, a few more seem to have popped up, and we of course are all over it. In addition to the dark patent leather colors and fresh purple and fuchsia colors that you will be seeing lots of, these are also big trends for fall:
Jeweled necklines are big for fall. Why wear a necklace when you can wear your jewels on your actual dress, and not have to worry about losing them or having them fall off? We think these are cute and very sophisticated, though probably quite pricey, even for non-designer versions of these frocks.
Animal print scarves are all the rage. We personally aren't big fans but they are a nice way to add a stylish accessory to your look, and many can be had on the cheap.
The jury is still out on these multi-colored vests, we predict they will catch on only nominally.
Belted dresses are a big fall tend, but you can never have too many belts of varying sizes, colors and materials. So why not use them on some of your longer fall tunics as well?
This is maybe our favorite new trend. Simple, easy to buy and allows you to use your white jeans after labor day! What could be better?
Jessie, Jessie, Jessie! For someone with their own hair guru and hair extension line, for someone with a stylist, plenty of cash and John Mayer, you sure do look blue lately – or should we say brown.
You see, we haven't really bagged on Jessica Simpson's brown hair because we thought it was just a short phase. You know, like when Cameron went black for a few weeks, then gradually let it lighten to her signature blonde:
But Jessica seems to really love the brown hair look, and we don't know why she would go away from the blonde look that made her famous:
You see there, she looks great, fresh, sexy and beautiful all at once. With her recent brown looks she just looks kinda – well, mousy. And the worst part is, she can't seem to make up her mind what shade or length of brown to make her locks:
Actually, she looks OK in each of those pics, even if she was trying too hard to look sultry in the third one. But we still insist that brown is just not her color. Perhaps it is because sometimes her ubber tan makes it hard to differentiate the hue of her hair from that of her face, or perhaps it's because some of her worse styling or makeup miscues have come while she went brunette. Case in point:
What, is she auditioning for the next Austin Powers film?
Uh, do we need to make a caption for this one?
Sorry, it's just not working for us.
Definitely. Not. Working.
Few women can resist a man in uniform, so it was only a matter of time before we started copping their rugged military style. Cameron Diaz may not be Justin Timberlake's lieutenant anymore, but she doesn't look any worse for wear when she walks around with her Marc Jacobs military style tote. Made of canvas and studded with metal, it looks great paired with casual clothes and is very easy to clean and care for.
Want to get Cameron's tough girl style? You could pay $650 from Marc Jacobs himself, and then have a big purse to carry around your light wallet in. Or, you can buy the Baghaus version for just $42.99 and have plenty of room for all the other things you can buy with the money you saved. The Baghaus bag comes in chic military green or neutral beige. The tough canvas will hold up in a foxhole or the concrete jungle. It is graced with plenty of bars and stars to show your style rank and like the Jacobs bag, can be paired with casual clothes or used as a utility bag because of the two front pockets and the thick canvas material that will hold up to any amount of use. Patton himself would be proud.
