Fall Styling Tips

Freshen up your fall wardrobe and incorporate items you already have with these styling tips:

1. Punch up the perfect little day dress with a bold, red waist-cinching belt. Carry with this cute plaid clutch. It's great for incorporating fall's plaid trend into your wardrobe without going all-out lumberjack!




2. Get in on the '80s revival by wearing distressed skinny jeans with a neon tee. Top it off with a cropped black blazer, Rhianna style.





3. This fall, it's all about playing with proportions. Wear a long, patterened cardigan over a fitted, short denim mini skirt.





4. Toughen up a flirty floral skirt by pairing it with a black vest and slouchy white, v-neck tee. When it gets chilly outside, simply throw on some black tights and a pair of motorcycle boots.

Karen Walker

Karen Walker is a New Zealand-born fashion designer with a reputation for her original, effortless, and unpretentious style. Her collections are both high casual and street wear. She takes the extremes and combines them together; masculine and feminine, tailored and street, luxury and non-luxury, dark and super-cute. Karen Walker's Fall 2009 Collection,"She's Cracked" is just that!

This shirt is a great layering piece with a tailored jacket and slouchy pants, giving it a masculine meets feminine look.

Love these sweater dresses. They're both high casual and street wear. It's very versatile - you can dress them up with tights and heels or dress it down with some cute fall boots or flats!

This double sleeved sweater dress has a cute beaded necklace print - no need to wear a real one!
This puffed sleeve sweater dress with a broken gem stones print is really unique. The puffed sleeves give it a very structured look and outrageous shoulders are in for the fall!

This paisely-like printed top is silky and flowy. Perfect when paired up with a solid skirt or pants.
Come stop by and see our Karen Walker pieces for yourself. Don't forget, we carry her sunglasses too!

Graham & Spencer

Jenny Graham and Toni Spencer, designers of Velvet introduced this luxury collection, "Graham and Spencer" back in Fall 2006. They created this line with the ideal girl in mind. She is beautiful, young, and chic. Their Fall 2009 collection focuses on both shape and texture and is included in an array of tops, dresses, and outerwear. The palette is mainly neutral with touches of butter and snow. We love Graham and Spencer because their pieces are so versatile and can be carried through all four seasons. Check out what we mean...


This slouchy knit cardigan from their fall 2009 collection is fantastic. It is absolutely comfortable and is an essential for the fall.


This cardigan is very versatile -- you can leave it buttoned or unbottoned and layer it up with a cute tank. You can belt it too! Its also good for the chilly summer nights.

A great layering tank. The chain details make this piece special. Its simple yet very edgy.


This 100% silk kimono dress is so elegant. The flowy top and open sleeves and tight bottom gives this dress a sexy silhouette. This dress can be carried throught out summer and fall. Wear it with a pair of sexy sandals in the summer and pair it up with tights for the fall.

Come stop by the store and see what else we have that's wearable for the remainder of the summer and for the fall to come!
