FASHION: A WILD FALL

Hello everyone! This is Sandra from Blasfemmes! I'm sure you've noticed that animal-print is going to be a trend to watch this Season with tiger, leopard and snakeskin all making an appearance. My personal favorite of these wild prints will be forever leopard-print and I love cheetah-print almost as much so today I'm focusing on these too classic prints, seen all over the fall 2013 runways on everything from clothing to accessories. Ready?

Any favorites?

Fall Essential: THE TWEED JACKET

Do you own anything by Chanel?  

I have to admit, I only own nail polish. I've never made the jump to buy a Chanel handbag - yet. This is such a popular brand, with Coco herself creating the iconic tweed jacket back in the day  - 1950s.  But, don't be fooled by the old date, this jacket is a closet staple - and whether it's a true vintage tweed you own or a newer 'inspired version' (non-chanel) it's a must-have this Fall. The texture alone is what attracts me & I LOVE the mix of colors on the modern versions like the MSGM. So chic, yet still classy!

What would I pair these jackets with?? I would add a tight leather skirt (super trendy right now) or a pair of jeans for a more casual look.

Want to make your (non-chanel) jacket seem more chic?? Add a simple chanel brooch!

Fashion: Chunky Knits

Hey! Its Casie Mace from Whipped Style blog! This lone inspiration image from The Mod Rockers has sparked an impressive obsession with chunky knits for me. Chunky knits are such a great way to add a texture to your look that's as chic as it is cozy. And trust me, they're oh-so-cozy. 

Now that we're in true fall weather & heading into Winter soon, I'm crazy excited to bundle up with some knits! You certainly can't beat a piece that's perfect with some boyfriend jeans and pointy pumps, leather leggings or… loungy sweatpants!

Fashion: The Wool Trouser

Hi guys! Jocelyn here. I'm sure many of you have already prepared your wardrobe for fall. I definitely have. San Francisco pretty much has fall weather year round so I am no stranger to layering, light jackets, and knitted fabrics. 

One fashion essential that I'll be splurging on this season is a sleek wool trouser. It's nice to mix things up and give denim a break every once in a while. A jewel tone or warm shade looks chic and sophisticated without looking too business-y.

Here is a look at two ways to dress up a pair. I love the classic feel of the first outfit and the playfulness of the second. Do you guys have a favorite? How would you wear it?

Outfit 1: By Malene Birger top / J.Crew necklace / Kate Spade shoes

Outfit 2: Acne top / Bauble Bar necklace / Manolo Blahnik shoes

My FALL Fashion....

Welcome back! SORRY I missed 'My Weekend' post.  I didn't really do ANYTHING interesting this weekend so it may have been a BORING picture....no, actually I was just crazy busy & didn't get to it, sorry!! 

On another note, I wanted to talk about my favorite season.....Fall. It starts a few months after my birthday with the weather cooling down & the leaves falling from the trees.  
 

Of course, it's the perfect time to wear scarves, boots & even leather pants - if you dare right??!! I gathered a few items that I'm sooo thinking about getting & can't wait to get my hands on some of these! Of course, NOT all this will come home with me, or my bank account will BURST!
 

So, tell me are you excited that FALL is around the corner?? Have you started shopping for fall yet??
