Haute for Fall

Now that August is upon us I can't help but dream about fall fashion (my favourite fashion season). If you've been anywhere near a mall in the past couple of weeks, you may have noticed that it's time to get on that most important wardrobe. Here is what's "haute" this fall:


1. Snakeskin
It's everywhere. Seriously. Not a big fan of it in clothing form, but accessories look smokin' in this funky print. Lots of crazy colours are out too - like purple and orange - go nuts! 


2. Mixing Two Bold Patterns
This trend was made for me. I can never pick just one pattern to wear - now it looks like it will finally socially acceptable to match that crazy polka dot blouse with my zebra skirt. 


3. Menswear for the Ladies
Double breasted suit jackets, straight from the hips pants, small-patterned blouses, oxfords. (Think I'll be sticking with heels, but you skinny-legged chicks can try the oxford thing....)


4. Lace, Lace, Lace
Enough said. 


Guys, I wouldn't forget about you would I? 


1. Classy Hiking Boots
But please (PLEASE!) don't hike in them!


2. Lounging Scarves
Wear them loose and casually with a nice pull-over sweater, perhaps. Your lady friends will be thinking you look cozy enough to cuddle with. 


3. Bold Button-Up Cardigans
Break out your sunglasses because there is about to be some neon going on.
