Wishing It Were Fall

We finally had some weather here in Arizona today. The overcast and light drizzling was much needed. Why is it still so dang hot here? I need it to be fall. I need my sweaters, and boots, and scarves, and blazers. I live for fall fashion. As i was browsing InStyle magazine online I came across the 8 Must Haves For Fall, did you hear that ladies? The 8 Must Haves!

1. Faux Fur Vest. It adds a layer of sophistication to any outfit! 

 2. Cargo Pants. These are one red hot item for fall! I personally like the olive/army green ones, but a nice slate colored pair would be a great addition to anyones fall wardrobe!

3. Floral Dress. Darker colors would be ideal for fall. Layered easily with a chunky cardigan, tights, and clogs. One word: yummy!

4. Leather Jacket. Leather is ideal for fall! Not to mention, this is one thing that will never really go out of style! It is also great way to do the hard-soft combo, as seen on Nicole Richie.

5. Knit Sweater. Nothing screams fall like this chunky cardigan seen on Rihanna. 

 6. Parka. Now coming in slimmer fits, Parkas are coming back and making a statement this fall! However, it never gets cold enough here in AZ for a Parka so hopefully I will be able to visit some snow this winter because I think the Parka is Hot!

 7. Fuller Skirts. Hemlines are rising and skirts are getting fuller! And I am in love! Full skirts are so much fun and are perfect for fall. Pair with patterned/colored tights and boots and you are set!

 8. Animal Print Cardigan. This is so fun and is something everyone should have in their wardrobe! Lilly Allen rocks hers with a black cocktail dress. However, this can also look great with a pair of jeans and boots!

I love fall clothes. And I love all the trends for fall! I cannot wait to go shopping! Remember, fashion is fun! And clothes are fun! Stay fabulous everyone.

XOXO,

The Modern Female

Out of all the models in the world, I believe I relate the most to Erin Wasson...fashionably anyway. Erin is like a camelion, I cannot even recognize her on the runway. She has such a laid-back, grunge type style that I absolutely love! She mixes casual with dramatic in such amazing ways that make her a definite fashion role model for me. She always seems so poised and confident, even with her outrageous fashion efforts. She is a true fashion icon.

FASHEMATICS.

I think we can all agree that fashion is a foundation that can stand on its own. Clothing is so much fun and, for lack of a better word, awesome because it can reflect your personality, your mood that day or evoke an emotion. We also need to recognize that fashion has many avenues. There is fashion photography, fashion editorial and fashion icons. But have you ever heard of fashion mathematics?

Fashematics is a refreshingly funny blog dedicated to mathematical equations that make up what designers send down the runway. So many critics and bloggers try to dissect each and every show, while Fashematics is all about poking fun in a lighthearted way. The equations get you thinking about fashion in a new light that is imperative if you want to see fashion from all perspectives. Here are some of my favorites:

This is one of the best takes on Anna Wintour that I've ever seen.

Givenchy, Fall 2010 Couture by Alessandro

Commes des Garcons, Fall 2010, Ready to Wear - Sidenote: I'm sorry, but the fact that this is deemed "ready to wear" is an insult to women everywhere. Where? Who? When? I just don't know... However, the creativity is splendid and I'm happy designers are still "going there".

Andrea

Hello, there all! I'm D'Andra, but you can call me Dee. I am also a new addition to FJC and am so excited to be apart of the club, if fashion did not exist, I am pretty sure I probably wouldn't either (kidding). I didn't know exactly what to write about this week, but I thought, being a girl, I am HIGHLY OBSESSED with heels so why not write about them :). If I could wear heels all day, everyday, I think I would, considering that I am only 5'2 and a half. My latest addition of heels that I have added to my growing collection are a simple, yet chic pair of Steve Madden black pumps, with a few different colored zippers alternating between gold and silver. I feel like every girl should at least own one pair of black pumps. They NEVER go out of style and they match just about anything you could wear. Here are a few that I personally am in love with. I hope these inspire you guys to go out and find your favorite pair of black pumps as well. I also thought I would leave you guys with a pair of my DREAM shoes made by Christian Louboutin(see bottom picture). They are amazing, I hope you all enjoy. Toodles<3! 

Stay gorgeous,
Dee

The September Issue

Hey everyone! My name is Newlin and I am a new FJC member. I could best describe my style as urban meets preppy. It may seem to be a strange combination, but I love wearing dark earth colors in the fall and clean cut fits. Last night I watch The September Issue, the documentary about Anna Wintour at Vogue. Really interesting documentary! The best part was getting to check out all the different clothes that were featured and getting an inside look at my favorite fashion magazine!!
