Grunge Meets Glam!

Fall 2012 establishes a friendship between designer labeled Uptown Girl and the "I don't give a fuck" hipster cool girl. Grunge meets showers and sparkle, being completely polished from head to toe. Goodbye neons; hello reds, browns, and blacks!

Through extensive research I have put together my favorite pieces, in a nutshell, that are the epitome of this year's autumn. Welcome back Queen Bee!

Fall Trends:

Bags: Bronze, brown, black, or shades of red, your bag should be oversized in either a satchel or a tote. (Yes, hobos still apply)

Makeup & Hair: Dark lips are a must, whether you contour them, leave them matte, or add a hint of shine. I love the new Mattene Lipstick line from Mac in either Camden Chic or Eden Rouge. Either go big or go home with the eyes with either a smokey brown or grey. No more French tips, focus on brown, red, or maroon nail polishes.

Shoes: The higher the better, you should not be wearing gym shoes past the age of 16, unless they are fully loaded with spikes or studs. Platform, wedges, and ankle boots that either tie up or have tons of details are a must!  If you must wear flats, choose a mid-calf boot with all these details.

Apparel: Leather jackets, leather jackets, leather jackets! Stay away from pastels, but keep your eyes out for browns. blacks, bronze, or bright colors for the season.  A Simple moto jacket works well, but a leather jacket with studded and spiked detail always adds a little life to the party.  Other than leather pants or leggings, lose the jeans and substitute with shorts or skirts.  And, if your legs get a bit chilly, add hosiery or socks...AMAZING!

*As far as accessories, pile it on!
