Who's Ready for Fall?

*I am so sorry for going away but after my South Africa Trip life sort of became a blur. Please forgive me!!*

If you are not and you have not started, now is the time! Plus the shows have started so why would you not start working on your own closet.

According to recent NYFW Fall 2015 lines, the return of the 1960's is here to stay.  From Tracey Reese (LOVE HER) to Barbara Tfank to BCBG Max Azria. It appears that once again, 60's mod will be the hottest trend to be on your bod this Fall 15'. With nicely  tailored pieces, geometric and tribal-western patterns, fur, leather, and slightly over sized items, i'm ready for fall and here is how you can get ready too!

1) WATCH THE SHOWS!- Tons of designers and fashion houses showcase their shows and new designs via live internet feeds. (I watched Tom Ford's show last fall) As you watch the shows, pick out the designs or designer collections you like.

2)GOOGLE 1960'S- That's right Google 1960's and not just 1960's fashion. This way you can pull inspiration from everything including fashion, movies, ads, and just everything.

3)PICK AN ICON or ICONS!-Personally I choose the wonderful Twiggy! Everything about her is 1960's! After you pick an icon think about how you can make the style your own or more modern and custom to fit your actual personal style.

4) BUY THE PIECES! (you've got three options)- [1] Baller Status!- You can buy your pieces straight from the run way or fashion houses [2] Semi-Baller Status- You can mix and match pieces from the runway with thrifted pieces, and [3] Fake-it-to-you-make-it Status-Thrift like your fashion life depends on it! Well, that or pray that your mom and aunts have not thrown away all of their pieces! Thrift stores are a great place to start and finish considering that you can find vintage pieces including designer for little to nothing!

Follow these four steps and you could have a closet to challenge some of the great!

Until next time,

Sincerely Miko!
