falling for fall

Neiman Marcus July Book

Fall is here, fall is here! Sweaters, leggings and boots, oh my! Ken Downing, Fashion Director at Neiman Marcus, lists his top fall 2010 trends in the photo above. Other trends include:

• Classic Fifties (think hourglass silhouettes, bustiers and below the knee pencil skirts, a la Mad Men)
• Color (head to toe in the same hue)
• Borrowed from the boys (a feminine take on masculine's pieces)
• Long skirts, kitten heels and flat boots

I love the mix of tough olive green & military inspired pieces back with feminine fur, feathers and pearls. And pencil skirts are forever my go-to piece when I'm late for work and need to throw something on without thinking too hard.

These trends can be found at any price point and it's easy to pick up one of this season's pieces to go back to all the basics you already have in your closet. Happy fall!
