Closeted Trends

August 24th, 2011

{Menswear-inspired blazers: Juicy Couture, Topshop, Zara}

With each approaching season, there are always a few trends that I can’t wait to try. This fall is no different, and as soon as the weather cools a bit, I look forward to incorporating some of them into my wardrobe. I’m sure I’ll splurge on a couple of new pieces, but I was happy to discover that I already own several key items that will transition seamlessly into fall. Here are a few of the trends I’m liking, as well as the pieces (with links to how I wore them in the past) that I plan on bringing back into rotation.

{Sequins: Parker, Vintage}

{Polka dots – H&M, Vintage, Urban Outfitters}

{Small, structured bags – The Leather Satchel Co., Coach, Jenny Yuen}

{Intricate heels – Chanel, Steve Madden, Alexander Wang}

{Muted polishes – ‘You Don’t Know Jacques,’ ‘Metallic Sage,’ ‘ Lady Like’}

{Bright, vintage-inspired baubles – J.Crew, Vintage}

    Hey! I have that same black Coach bag! I got mine second hand at the Hells Kitchen Flea Market when I was in NYC in December :) It was only $25! You should definitely check out the market when you’re next in the city! Everyone back home (in South Africa) goes crazy for my bag!

    You highlighted some of my favorite pieces in your closet that always makes me swoon. The bright orange, yellow vintage necklace, your Chanel heels, and your striped sequin top. Love!!

    I absolutely LOVE these trends. Sometimes people get caught up in the chic-ness (not a word haha) of the runway and don’t know how to transition it to everyday life, but all of these pieces are both beautiful and wearable. Blazers, polka dots, structured bags… love love love! :*

    Great post on Fall trends. Inspirational and timely as I start thinking about transitioning my closet for the upcoming season. This is a great representation of trends that can easily be pulled from anyone’s closet (i’m sure we all have polka dots and sparkles in there somewhere!) I’m also looking forward to two very different styles – Mad Men Femininity and Menswear Inspired Styling. I have a pair of Chanel lace-up high-heeled oxfords in chocolate that are dying to be back in rotation and can work for both.

    I have that same polka dotted scarf from H&M and love it. Did you get the nail polish idea from WhoWhatWear? I saw they had the same thing on their site and I pinned it. I love the idea of storing nail polishes like that too. (http://pinterest.com/pin/130585769/)
