Fall/Winter 2011 Fashion Trend: Jade

Besides orange/rust, the other big color to wear this fall/winter is jade green.  This color appeared all over the AW2011 runways (Above: Marc by Marc Jacobs; Malandrino; Gucci; Yigal Azrouel), particuarly on dresses.  Personally, I think jade is a lovely color that looks good on all skintones and with all haircolors.  If you are liking this color as much as I am and want to pick up something jade to wear during the cooler months, below are some options to consider: ASOS dress with drape twisted knot front for $78.57 on www.asos.com; ASOS layered trapeze camisole for $52.38 on www.asos.com; BB Dakota by Jack Corin coat for $89 on www.lulus.com; Button shop skirt for $44.99 on www.modcloth.com; Zara V-back dress for $89.90 on www.zara.com; Pleated ponte skirt for $88 on www.anthropologie.com; Fossil "Stella" watch for $135 on www.macys.com; Eclair back zip tank on sale for $31.90 on www.nordstrom.com; Closet braid dress for $47.99 on www.modcloth.com; Zara city bag with flap for $169 on www.zara.com; Caslon drop needle cardigan for $79 on www.nordstrom.com; ASOS dress with manipulated shoulder for $87.30 on www.asos.com; ASOS long sleeve cold shoulder top for $31.43 on www.asos.com.

Jade (and other shades of green) is also the "in" nail color this fall/winter. Below are some great greenish polishes for you to check out: Butter London polish in "British Racing Green" for $14 on www.nordstrom.com; Chanel polish in "Peridot" for $34.99 on www.amazon.com; Zoya polish in "Suvi" for $7 on www.amazon.com; OPI polish in "Jade Is the New Black" for $4.45 on www.opi.com; Essie polish in "Going Incognito" for $4.15 on www.amazon.com; Zoya polish in "Ivanka" for $8 on www.amazon.com

Fall/Winter 2011 Fashion Trend: Pointy Toe Pumps

This trend sort of comes and goes every few years but, for now, it's back in a big way (Above: Rebecca Minkoff; Dolce & Gabanna; Peter Som; Chanel)!  So put aside your platform pumps that you've been wearing the last few years and pick up a pair of pointy toe pumps instead.  While I only own one pair of pointy toe pumps, I do like this trend a lot and plan on getting at least one more pair for this fall/winter.  While I love the height that platform pumps give me, I think they border on trashy sometimes.  Pointy toe pumps, however, are extremely elegant.  If you are liking this trend and want to pick up a pair of pointy toe pumps, below are some options to consider:  Calvin Klein "Neila" pump for $119 on www.piperlime.com; Enzo Angiolini "Castalia" pump for $89.95 on www.nordstrom.com; Dolce Vita "Rosetta" pump for $154 on www.lorisshoes.com; Ivanka Trump "Indico" pump for $119.95 on www.nordstrom.com; Seychelles "Accent" pumps for $90 on www.piperlime.com; Nine West "Flax" pump for $75 on www.piperlime.com; Tahari "Marjorie" pump on sale for $69.90 on www.lorisshoes.com; Lauren by Ralph Lauren "Valeda" pump for $98 on www.piperlime.com; Kate Spade New York "Licorice Too" pump for $350 on www.nordstrom.com; Sam Edelman "Portney" pump for $112 on www.lorisshoes.com; J. Renee "Fame" pump for $89.95 on www.nordstrom.com; Jessica Simpson "Elley" pump for $79 on www.piperlime.com.

Fall/Winter 2011 Fashion Trend: Peplum Skirts

This is admittedly probably one of the more unusual trends this fall/winter.  If you don't know what a peplum skirt is, it is a skirt that has a little mini skirt over top of a longer skirt.  Peplum skirts were popular on the AW2011 runways (Above: Stella McCartney; Giambatista Valli; Marc Jacobs; Elie Saab) and have slowly been making their way into stores.  Peplum skirts are particularly suited for tall thin women because the little mini skirt over top adds volume on the bottom.  Of course, this also means that the skirt can make you appear hippier than you really are so consider yourself warned!  If you are blessed to be one of those tall thin women that we all envy and you want to give this trend a try, below are some options to consider: Alice + Olivia "Natasha" peplum pencil skirt for $198 on www.saks.com; Alice + Olivia "Vicky" peplum dress for $296 on www.bloomingdales.com; Aqua "Kingon" peplum skirt for $153.68 on www.asos.com; BCBGMAXAZRIA "Huxley" peplum dress on sale for $114 on www.lordandtaylor.com; Ribbed peplum bodycon skirt for $56 on www.topshop.com; MM Couture lace peplum dress for $92 on www.macys.com; Jessica Simpson peplum dress on sale for $118.40 on www.macys.com; Max & Cleo "Bethany" peplum dress for $128 on www.bloomingdales.com; Nue by Shanti peplum dress on sale for $144 on www.dillards.com; XOXO peplum dress for $39.98 on www.macys.com.
