"Green is back and is 'the' color for fall. The New York Fall 2010 runways were overrun with green - olive, forest, chartreuse, apple and hunter green, to name a few. Khaki and green are a match made in heaven. Military elements combine to create a utilitarian trend. Infantry-inspired jackets, cargo pants and traditional camel/green colors are must-have pieces. Wear them head to toe or pair them with feminine pieces for a modern interpretation. Romantic lace is fall's biggest love story with layers of lace forming pretty day dresses and lacy blouses. Lace detailing also adds some femininity to military-style pieces and utilitarian cargos. Don't overdo the frou frou! Wear one thing lace and accessorize minimally." ~ Jennifer Serraino of j.serraino |

"Leave your leggings at home and find the comfiest pair of super-stretch jeggings. You'll never want to go back to your leggings or favorite jeans! As for tops: Silk, silk, silk! Little lace details, eyelet and embroidery turn a basic blouse into art. Match statement pieces with a great boyfriend jean, high-wasted skirt or straight-leg slacks. Grunge is back! If you find yourself wearing tops that have a more masculine body, keep things sweet and add a thin layered necklace and some dainty stackable bracelets. Show some edginess with accessories that have a raw, organic look. Uncarved stones, hammered silvers, rose gold, washed out coppers... don't be afraid to mix and match!" ~ Madison Schwartz of Fresh |

"With the warm weather we have through November, Comfy USA's light-weight fabric is perfect for the SCV and is great for layering. Leggings are such a trend right now and look great with Comfy tops and jackets - all made in Southern California! Care is so easy, too: You machine-wash, twist and let dry naturally. We love Brighton's cross-body messenger bag, 'Peyton,' with this look. Focus Fashions offers so many easy-care looks, all at moderate prices. We love Brighton's "'Barbados' handbag here. The neutral pewter color goes with everything. And the 'Mohawk' loafers are so soft and comfy. You'll want them in all four colors!" ~ Kathy Allie of Cobblestone Cottage |

"Lace plays peek-a-boo tricks on the mind - but never gives away too much - making it both ultra sexy and quite ladylike. It's the quintessential fall fabric that makes a big statement as a mini dress. A bold burnt orange tank and Aviator sunglasses declare that while the calendar may say 'fall,' it's almost always summer in the SCV. Aviators make a big comeback this season, which is no surprise, considering the current infatuation with military clothing and accents. Natural elements - like wood and stone beads - are a fashionable reminder of Mother Nature's bounty and beauty. Elements in their most organic form - unpolished and natural - will be most coveted." |
