FALL…BACK TO SCHOOL
Posted in Style Tips on September 24th, 2009 by adminTransformer shoes.
The Camileon Heel is just the shoe every city girl has ever dreamed of! These transforming shoes have adjustable heels so you can always be comfortable.
Their revolutionary heel technology makes it possible for a shoe to adjust from a high-heeled position of 3¼” down to a 1½” low-heeled, walking-friendly shoe. Their heel contains mechanisms that hold it into place for both the high heel and low heel positions and a stainless steel rod, which runs through the entire length of the heel. The portion of The heel that is stowed underneath the arch region of the shoe, when in the low heel position, is actually made out of aluminum.
Snag one of these and you’ll be a happy hopper!

Grey matters. The hottest ticket this season is grey eye shadow and it really does look fabulous on all skin tones. Make sure the grey hue has a hint of purple in it so it’s more like a quartz color. This shade is considered the new neutral.
Indigo. Deep indigo blue eyeliner is a beautiful and modern look that is also really easy to pull off. Smudge it as close to the roots of your top lashes as possible to keep it looking subtle. Pair the look with fawn coloured blush and a glossy mocha lip.
Peach and pearls. Pearly pink and peach tinged nude lip shades have already started popping up this time of year. They look best when worn with an entire nude monochromatic look on both cheeks and eyes. For a little more drama, try the intense look of deep bordeaux or wine shades.
Nudey. Nude nails were great for spring, and you can carry them into fall as well. This gorgeous hue will actually make your fingers look longer if it is the right shade for your skin tone .

Booti-licious. Lace-up boots worn over skinny jeans makes a sleek outfit. Add an intricate necklace to elevate neutral pieces. This ensemble can go from casual to chic in a jiffy.
Tighten up. Wear skirts and shorts with leggings or tights for fall or winter. Don’t discount shorts for fall. A simple pair of opaque tights makes cropped styles wearable all winter long.
Over your knees. Over-the-knee boots are the must-have item for Fall. Those daring enough will find the tops of their boots creeping up even higher with thigh-high boots also making it mainstream. From elegant suedes to darkly futuristic wound-and-bound leathers.
Ripped. Our wartime female counterparts would never have imagined this day; where laddered stockings are not only acceptable, but fashionable . The ripped stocking trend is a close cousin of the ripped denim trend, a step towards a new era of neo-Grunge.
Reveal the prowess. Leopard print ensembles are all the rage this season! While you may not be able to go grocery shopping in a leopard print dress, there are a million ways to incorporate this fun print into your Fall wardrobe. Think ballet flats, high heels, handbags, scarves, etc.
Buckles and buttons. Embellishments and hardware aren’t just for handbags anymore. While it’s mostly boots with buckles and buttons, you’ll notice lots of flats, pumps and Mary Jane’s are adding these cute vintage details as well, just in smaller scale.
Leggings. Where previous seasons have brought us the Skinny Jean, Fall plants a stake firmly in the territory of the slimmest leg of all. Leggings cropped, long, or even stirrup are a wonderful foundation for an oversized sweater, long belted shirt, sweater dress, or tunic dress. But remember, stirrups are not meant to be seen; tuck them into boots!
Go retro. What to wear for Ladies night out? A few pieces of retro jewels will go with just about anything! We love the look of old stuff. New stuff is just so.. shiny.. and.. well, new.

Cool shorts. Autumnal shorts are a cool choice, especially with a statement blazer. Adding a bold blazer with fall’s coveted eighties-inspired shoulder also offers a new twist on the standard suit, making this outfit perfect for a fashion-forward day at work.
Get a stud on it. Try a diy at home with a Bedazzler you can easily get your hands on. A sprinkling of metalwork is enough to update a classic piece. Make a statement with this season’s edgiest studded flats, heels and boots. The look is a little bad ass but rocker chic. Pair studded footwear with an all black outfit or a flirty dress to give your feminine frocks a modern and unexpected edge.
More boyfriends. Boyfriend jackets with cuffed and rolled sleeves are a fall essential. A long and boxy shape is still in line with fall’s rampant eighties-inspired ensembles, while the color-contrasting cuffs make it look modern and fresh. Snag a few faves to last you all the way to spring and pair them with your cocktail frocks, t-shirt and jeans.
It’s all about layering. Pair a shirt and cardi together for an ultra chic girl next door look. Add a thin belt over the shirt to dress it up, or a thicker belt over the cardi for a trendier look.
Plain Jane. Plain pieces layered up can look very effective. Such as a plain sweater with a cardi. Neutral shades are great for colder seasons. Wear a scarf to add femininity and to look warm and cozy.
Trendy prep. The trendiest way to dress this fall is to accent preppy pieces with a grungy feel. For example, if you’re sporting a button down, make it plaid. Bold prints are of the moment.
Long-Sleeved Mini. We’re particularly wild about long-sleeved mini dresses. Huge for fall, but it’s also ideal for breezy summer nights, as it allows you to show off lots of leg and gives you a little extra coverage up top. Brilliant with a pair of tights for an early-autumn evening out.
Just a pose. A delicate, gauzy top adds femininity to a body-con skirt and boots. By juxtaposing a vintage-inspired romantic top with a body-con skirt and sturdy boots, you can create an outfit that’s both unique and all about balance.
Rockin’ the 80’s. There’s a whole lot of retro ferocity being dished up rockin’ 80’s fashions, like red leather gloves paired with a sweetheart-neck mini dresses, a military-inspired leather cap with a frilly skirt and a leather jacket accentuated with a metallic bow hair barrettes.
Capes. It’s been quite some time since the cape has been a major fashion staple. From cropped mini capelets to long cloaks and full capes, you’ll find this super-hero trend pretty fly.
Faux leather. The leather trend is extending far beyond just jackets and into pretty much every other type of clothing. Leather shorts, leather dresses, leather leggings… and more. Be sure to go faux!
See-through. Turn to the see-through clothing fashion trend to keep you cool, yet sexy. 2010’s sheer pieces are a mixture of the soft and feminine, to the opposite extremes of the hardcore sex-kitten.
One shouldered. From single-shouldered dresses to tops and bikinis, asymmetric shoulder-lines have made a huge return. Showing off one-shoulder in a dress can be subtly sexy and interesting. The possibilities for how to wear it are numerous.
Bright Colors. As a sophisticated, sumptuous counterpoint to the ubiquitous black, the selection of reds this fall is positively heady. The mere hint of this colour adds such panache to an all-black outfit: add a slim belt under (or over) a jacket. For those of you who aren’t red fans, regal hues like purple are also popping up all over.

Skirt Issues
With fall around the corner, it’s time to update your wardrobe with trendy transitional skirts. Thanks to the variety of styles available, from minis to, pencil , a skirt can easily complement your looks in every imaginable way. It’s chic and fun and more versatile than a pair of jeans.
Easily dressed up or dressed down, you can wear them over bare legs to show off that tan, or layered over a pair of tights when the weather gets cool. You can rock them to class with a tank and flats, or pull ‘em up a little higher with a tucked in beater and some heels for a night on the town.
The shorter the miniskirt, the simpler and more conservative the top. Wear heels for longer looking legs.
Balance the look of a full skirt with a fitted top.
Show off your feminine figure by adding a belt.
They can be easily be dressed up or dressed down.
