New Designer Update Chase Cohl | Fashion Trend Collection

I have been told a few million times that I cannot ever be two things at once, that I should either stick to music or fashion, because "you simply cannot love both things equally"!
Boy, are they all soooo wrong!

Singer/Songwriter and Accessory designer Chase Cohl has definitely taught me otherwise.
This amazing artist is a sweet indie/boho musician and designer that remains true to herself and you can very much feel that in her pieces and songs.
Littledoe is the name of her line so make sure to have a look see. =)

The 10 Commandments of Fall | Fashion Trend Collection

< class="post-title entry-title">On our last trip to the Salvation Army, my sis and I got hold of a 2003 September Issue of Vogue. We spotted it amongst the sea of magazines that were on this huge shelf - the issue is incredibly huge so yes, it caught our eye quickly. We found this cool article on the 10 Commandments of Fall - definitely stuff I will follow to have the fashion gods in my favor, lolz.
I think though they are 2003 advice, they are applicable to any Fall Season, my notes are in red.

The 10 Commandments of Fall
1.Be Perpetually Polished-from the tips of your fingers to the toes of your alligator shoes, well groomed sheen is queen.

2.Keep Them Guessing-over the knee boots and leather opera gloves, leave something to the imagination.The 10 Commandments of Fall | Fashion Trend Collection

3.Take a Deep Breath-waist cinching coats, curve clutching skirts and tight little sweaters are sleek, sharp and positively aerodynamic.

4.Invest in a Chic Party Dress- dance floor sweeping or upper thigh grazing, this season's after-dark looks are seriously soignee.The 10 Commandments of Fall | Fashion Trend Collection

5.Think Like a Movie Star

6.Cozy up to a Faux Fur Stole- yeah you guys already know I don't like fur.

7.Shock Them With Color - Turn on the brights, whether it's a huge emerald cocktail ring or a fushia satin bag.

8.Sharpen Your Wit- trying a ballerina skirt or a dress of playful chiffon flower petals

9.Paint it Red-Forties era crimson lips are fall's most important war paint.The 10 Commandments of Fall | Fashion Trend Collection

10.Emulate Kate the Great -Katherine Hepburn that is, from her tweedy menswear to her regal bias-cut gowns all is just so autumn-ish.The 10 Commandments of Fall | Fashion Trend Collection

Alexander Wang And Vena Cava hit Gap | Fashion Trend Collection

I have a feeling that I won't be having that much left over cash this Summer. Why, oh why are designers teaming up with affordable brands?? Ok, it is a good thing, but it's gonna leave me broke!
I mean after J.P. Gautier's and Zac Posen's (tho I was kinda dissapointed with Zac's - the prices are a tad out of my league; I am a poor college student after all) collections with Target and now Alex Wang & Vena Cava bringing the khaki deal back to life (and to my closet) I won't have any spending money left over for ice cream.

However the pieces are pretty imaginative.
Safari anyone??

Wonderful Betsey Johnson Collection | Fashion Trend Collection

All you need to create something astonishing is hidden in the past. History is a wonderful source of inspiration, of knowledge.

I believe this year's Betsey Johnson Collection has this explosion of the New and the Old. I believe that she not only combined elements from past designs (like the flower on the dress - that was pretty typical of her designs in the 90's) but she has a marvelous representation of past decades of fashion history colliding with modern looks and uncontrollable splashes of color in every piece.

I just had to pick my fave designs from this Fall's collection to show you all. =)
Enjoy!!

Isn't she awesome!! Ok, so I love her style and how she does the cartwheel in every one of her runways; so unique.

Oh, tomorrow is finally my 23rd b-day! Yes, I'm ultra excited even though I must go to work and proceed with my everyday weekday tasks, lol. I can't help but feel that I'm getting older and it does somewhat frighten me. Still going to Hard Rock Cafe and I solemnly promise to take lots of outfit pics with whichever camera I can find. =)

By the way, must let you guys know that I'm opening a cute second hand clothes shop. I realized after buying my bass guitar that I needed an amplifier so I had an early "spring closet cleaning" and am getting rid of all those garments that I either haven't used EVER, or have only worn a few times. So if you all have a chance, please check it out. I'll be adding things as quickly as I possibly can.
