En Vogue

While lounging on the deck overlooking the beautiful Atlantic Ocean with September Vogue in hand I've decided to put together a little "Cheat sheet" of the most important fall trends for my ViVi G. Girls:

I've simplified it into categories to make your lives a bit easier when shopping for your fall ensembles.

Colors:

• CAMEL (VIP color, gigantic, HUGE...get a camel sweater/scarf/coat/boot...whatever the accessory just get it).
• Army green (I enjoy this color in a handbag as it is easily adaptable to all of your neutral clothing and shoes)
• Cobalt (obsessed. Mommy has this color on her nails right now). Pop it with a handbag or a piece of jewelry showcasing this romantic and sexy color. BTW- this looks GREAT with red. Watch Sex and the City and you'll see lots of this combo.
• Leopard & Cheetah print EVERYTHING. Don't overdue it at one time. Choose one piece in your outfit that displays this print. You don't need to look like Jane of the Jungle. Purrrrrrrr.

• Black. (duh)

Shoes

• itty bitty kitten heels with pointy toes for the elegant yet chic woman.
• thick high heels for the wild woman.
• loafers of all sorts
• metal eyelet detailing
• pointy flats, round flats, mini wedge flats.
• CLOGS (mid heel, low heel, high heel)
• Studding detail and rocker chic embellishments (yes it's still here and not going away...who doesn't love an edge?)

Boots

• Riding boots. HUGE.
• Over the knee
• Mid-calf (thank goodness...this is very flattering for the leg)
• Platforms (we need that comfort when wearing a boot with a heel)
• Leather corset weave detail (see picture above).
• Flat boots with built in mini-wedges

Handbags

• Soft embellishments (i.e- woven leather, mini studs, quilting, light chain handles)
• Double pockets
• Metallic hardware
• Double carry handle options (long strap and double short strap)
• Classic shapes -think Hermes inspired Kelly & Birkin (just like our own handmade handbags made in Italy are from $295-$495 and have been a best seller since the opening of our doors two years ago!)
  
• Rectangle/square flap bags (think classic Chanel) only we have this shape from Rebecca Minkoff, Elaine Turner, and many more
  
• Cross-body mini bags (love love love these...so easy and understated)
• Exotic prints (ViVi G. has genuine and embossed)

Stay tuned for the Fall 2010 trends in jewelry...you won't want to miss it....

Happy Shopping
