Fall 2011 trends - Bright color blocking

Bright color blocks are still going strong.

I will probably invest in a bright blouse or a sweater and pair it with skinny or boyfriend jeans. What do you think about this trend? How would you wear it? Rag & Bone style (check the photo below) or something a bit more subtle like we saw in the Daryl K show (top photo)

Key trends Fall 2011 - Boyish

As seen on Dolce & Gabbana, Paul Smith, Stella McCartney and Chanel shows. This boy/girl trend is one of the big ones for the Fall. This whole look takes us back to the 80s (think Madonna in Open your heart). Oversized, masculine blazers, shadowy tones, knee cropped trousers and oxfords.

Too much for your taste? A simple tailored blazer will be enough to work this trend. As far as colors are concerned, go for the grays and blacks.
