Trendy Tuesday - Militarism

If anyone knows me, they know I love everything structured and put together. Military inspiration is something I just can't get enough of! The fitted intricate coats and the gorgeous earthy tones will never go out of style and always promote a strong image.

Stylesight is my new favorite place to stop for trend pictures! They know how to get images together!

Thrifty Thursday - Striped by anthony-carmen featuring forever 21 blazer

I think a cute little dress with a blazer and booties goes a long way! You can't go wrong with these classic colors and a touch of fun with the cross headband! I also think the touch of stripes as a print pops against these solids.

Magazine Monday - Spotlighting NYLON October 2012

~-~:::~-~

This month's Nylon issue is all about all things "IT!" I love this color featuring the stars of Perks of Being a Wallflower... I love a good triad! I think it's an interesting layout, but I do like more of a popping color on the cover! Anyway, let's page through, shall we?

~-~:::~-~

These jeans of the month are amazing! Finger paint print jeans? Fun! I'm all about artsy craftsy prints, and these are super chic with that touch of cheek!

I'm all about monochrome (see the jeans of the week), and lines and stripes really set it off! I love this little trend board with these effortlessly chic looks.

This spread reminds me of a post I did a few weeks back! It was all about rich colors for the fall. I love the deepness of these shades and it isn't bad to rock them from head to toe! While I prefer a touch here and there, if you can pull it off, now is the time to try!

Speaking of rich colors, these are just crazy! I had to get post this picture of emerging English rapper, Roxxxan, for those amazing Missoni leggings! Zig zag prints may be a defining element in the brand, but I'm more interested in the fun cutout details in them! I love playing with sides of garments in a symmetrical manner, and I think these are really fun! Sorry, just a bit of design inspiration!

~-~:::~-~

A spread all about wool? Sign me up! I love a great chunky sweater on a cold day, and these options really take it to the next level! Bold colors and interesting patterns really create more design on a simple sweater silhouette. I love these playful ideas on a frigid day... Let's be brighter than the snow this winter!

So who's rocking their rich bright colors this AW? Me!
