Fall Fashion Trends for 2012

If you are as excited as I am for fall then this post should find you in good spirits. Its that time of year again! The kids are back in school, soon the leaves will start changing colors and most importantly you can dress to impress. Fall is my favorite season of all for fashion. The only downside about fall is that its right next to winter and this season is so short, it doesn't go on and on like winter and summer seem to do. Not fair! :-( Anyway, its best to make the most of it with nice clothes.

The season is all about rich jewel tones, animal print...actually print period, lace, leather and many other trends that are surely popping up.




My mail has been flooded with fall trends. There are so many beautiful things to choose from. I have highlighted some that I especially liked.

Colored jeans will be very popular this fall but its time to turn in our lovely pastels that we wore in the spring and summer for jeweled tone denim. These are gorgeous and can be used to color block, pair with a chambray top, with a blouse, sweater...the options are limitless.




                            Top from Zara, dress from BCBG and pants from Piperlime by Joe's

Lace is also pretty big this fall. There are so many ways to wear it as well. Whether you choose to have a full on lace ensemble or just a lace top, this is a very elegant and feminine touch to your fall fashion look.




                            Dress from Zara, pants from Zara, assymetric peplum skirt from Zara

Animal print has been popular throughout the years and is of course in full swing for this Fall. Its classic and chic. My favorite animal print is leopard.




          Skirt from Zara, pant from Zara, pant from BCBG and leather patch legging from BCBG

Leather is all the rave this fall. Its edgy, rocker, classic and chic. You can easily give yourself a little edge by adding a leather piece. Since my style isn't edgy, I would mix an leather pant with a feminine lace top to balance the two.

Printed pants have transitioned from their lighter floral and graphic prints in Spring to deeper colors for the Fall.

Knits are always in style for Fall since the weather is cooler and you have to stay warm. While staying warm it is always important to stay stylish.

Fall 2012 Makeup

Fall is my favorite season. I love the changing of the colors of the leaves, the cooler weather down but not cold and the fashion. It is a beautiful time of year. But along with the fashion trends, there are definitely makeup trends. What I am constantly seeing in cosmetics companies from high end to low end are deep earthy rich colors. This comes as no surprise since those are the same colors I am seeing in fall fashion 2012 clothing.

                                                          MAC's Yung Rapunxel

I am especially seeing deep reds and plum lipsticks. What's so special about these colors are that they go with all skintones. From the most fair to deepest skintones, these colors look great!






For the eyes this fall, instead of the normal smoky black eye, a smoky brown eye will be more on trend.



If you want a more dramatic eye this fall, a more futuristic look may be something you would want to try.




No matter what you try remember makeup is fun but also blend, blend, blend. :)
