Fall 2014 Fashion Trends!

           Fall is rapidly approaching and you know what that means...2014 fall fashion trends! My favorite season (well one of my favorite including Spring when my birthday is!) for new trends, cozy clothes, warm colors, and crisp weather. Que the cute pug jumping in the leaves!

          See! He's happy about fall!! You should be too!! Just because it's back to school season doesn't mean it has to be completely awful! Just think about it...Fall means new clothes, new TV shows #cuddlebuddy, and hot Starbucks drinks! 

          I'm here to report all the new fall trends and my predictions/favorite fall looks for the upcoming season! As a fashion major a lot of my friends and family ask..."Lizz, what are the new fall trends?! What should I be wearing?!" well...I'm now going to direct them to this post because sometime I hate explaining things not gonna lie. Ok, sit back and relax! Here are the newest fall trends!

       First things first colors! What are the newest fall colors to try out! My favorite from the list on Women's Wear Daily are Sangria, Aurora Red, Cypress, Royal Blue and Aluminum! Radiant Orchid is over used by now and in my opinion it's better as a spring/summer color. The reds and forest green colors are one's to watch out for!

        Like this forest green rain jacket from Urban Outfitters!!! I need to find a new raincoat for London and this one seems to be my pick of choice. I know I wanted a forest green or yellow (Misted Yellow) rain jacket. I looked all day and found this one on UO that I actually liked and didn't break the bank (too much! $89 and $69 on sale) I'm telling you right here, right now you will not be able to find a cute raincoat for more than $100...it sucks...This coat is perfect for fall and won't get all awkward when your wearing an oversized sweater as well! I gotta have it!

        CAPES....YES...Capes! I believe we are going to see a lot more capes in the upcoming season as a new fashion trend. I, probably unlike a lot of people, love capes. I have one and love wearing it! But if I had one like this one in the picture I'd be wearing it everyday during fall!

Ahhhhhh...the flare jeans! Oh how I've missed these jeans soooo much! I haven't worn flare jeans probably since the 6th grade (college junior now) and I'm so excited people have started to wear them again. I've been looking even since the 6th grade for a pair of flare jeans and couldn't find them AT ALL until now. Next time you are at the mall go and pick up a pair of flares!

Next up a vest! My favorites are the ones from J. Crew but being a poor college student I'm on the hunt for one cheaper. Keeping up with the forest green color as well, the J.Crew quilted vest is a perfect piece for fall. When it's not too cool and not too warm a vest is the perfect jacket accessory! Also the boyfriend jeans included in the J.Crew themed set I made on Polyvore are another ah-mazing trend! Have you actually worn a pair of boyfriend jeans yet? If not I suggest you do! So comfy!!!

Oh.em.gee...can we throwback to Lizzie McGuire and the jean mini skirt for two seconds. Obsessed. This trend may be coming from left field but I think some people will be making a statement in jean skirts! Also the red sweater! Oversized of course. Perfect for cool days when you just don't feel like getting all dolled up!

       I am most definitely not done with fall fashion trends for 2014! But to keep this post not looking like a novel I'm going to stop here. You'll have to follow along to read more!

Video - Color of the Rainbow Tag!

       Hey everyone! So I wasn't tagged in a video but I decided to do it anyway! It's the "Color of the Rainbow" tag. Basically, you have the colors of the rainbow and you pair them up with the product that the color represets. For example, I chose Mac lipstick in "Ruby Red" for the red category! I hope you enjoy! Tell me your favorites down below!

Lots of Love,

Lizz

OWS : Maxi Monday!!

Dorothy Perkins / Zara / H&M / Alice & Olivia

Ahhh...Spring is in almost over and summer is finally coming! You know how I can tell? It's 70 odd degrees out where I live. It's been so cold outside and I hate the cold! Yes, hate. I know it's a very strong word. While we had those couple of cold days outside I got to take my maxi dresses out to wear again! I forgot how much I love wearing maxi dresses! I bought like 5 last year, didn't wear them at all because no one was wearing them (peer pressure...), but now all I want to do is wear one out in public!!! hahah! Odd how things go like that...huh? I've been online window shopping (OWS) for a couple of weeks now and here a few of my favorites that I've found!

GMF Do's & Don'ts  for wearing maxi dresses!

DO wear cute sandals that are flat. I would wear jeweled one's with solid colored maxi's and solid colored sandals with printed maxi's.
DO wear cute jewelry! I would wear dangly earrings and rings.
DO wear light colors to take away from lumpy curves...because no one wants that haha!

DONT be afraid prints and bright color maxi's!
DONT wear heels with your maxi. I don't think wearing heels with maxi's is very chic. I guess it's a personal preference...
DONT over accessorize!!! If your going to wear a maxi keep it to 3 accessories! Like a necklace, bracelet, and studs!
