As we approach the last long weekend of the summer, it’s probably the hardest trend transition of the year, as we tend to hold on to summer as long as we possibly can. This season there are some easy trends that we can carry over from summer, like the strong black and white outfit and really bold graphic prints. Here is what I said when Fashion Magazine discussed this with their style panel.

Fall has the most beautiful natural colour palette, filled with rich reds, deep yellows, burnt oranges, and of course all shades of brown and green. Though for me, the warm oranges and reds suit my skin tone the best. This fall, when dressing formal, I’ve gone for a very structured look that is a show stopper. This dress, part of H&M Conscious Collection, is made of recycled plastics and fibres and is probably one of the coolest pieces I’ve owned, with the 3D rose applica on the thighs, shoulders and collar and around the waist, not usually the most flattering, but this piece is cut so well that it’s perfect as a statement dress.

The Luxe Life, the blog for www.eluxe.ca asked me what my favourite summer outfit is and since the season has really been all about 1990’s trends I decided to style the next fall must have piece, the slip dress. It’s perfect for the summer too, as it helps create an effortless look that is still very chic. This is what I said.
