The fashion mags are advertising plaid like mad and the boutiques have begun to stock up on jackets and tweed. Fall fashion hunting has officially begun. As a avid fashion magazine buyer and a notorious shopper I've begun to figure out which fall purchases will last several season and which trends are a bit more flash in the pan(I.E a waste of my hard-earned bar tended tips). Here's what I'm buying for Fall
1. Boot cut jeans in a dark rinse(according to Marie Clare the oh so flattering boot cut is back in). My short legs are so grateful.
2) A long striped cardigan by B.B Dakota(Just us Girls on PEI carries tons of BB and the line is amazing and affordable). Mary-Kate Olsen does the prison stipes with ray bans, rock and roll boyfriends, and coffee. Me too.
3) Something in vintage lace...Dolce and Gabbana and Valentino rocked lace hardcore on the runways and sheer delicate lace really is more than romantic enough for fall. I'm thinking a baby doll lace dress with some boots.
4)Plaid...I heart plaid. I'm on the lookout for a light weight plaid trench, it's perfect for jumping in leaves and lifting thick texts books across the quad. Winners might be the place for scooping up a plaid trench or Ebay.
5. Some serious Boots. I'm thinking of hitting up Kick Ass Shoes on Spring Garden and scooping up some studded motorcycle boots, I love the versatility.
Trends I'm skipping for Fall
1. Chunky Necklaces. Not being a big costume Jewelery fan, this one is an easy skip and I'm not a big Lanvin fan anyway, so I won't feel like I'm being disloyal to a house I like. I'm more of a less is more girl on the necklace front.
2.Fur. Oh Alexender McQueen I will usually follow you anywhere anytime. You have ushered in countless trends that I almost live for, you're a visionairy, cutting edge..so what's with all the fox fur this season? Let this flash in the pan die out quickly.
3. Floral. I, like most, like floral for spring..it makes more sense to wear blossoms when flowers are, well, blossoming. And most of the houses are mixing their florals with fur which just isn't working for me at all. Roberto Cavalli is just too quirky sometimes.
Happy fall shopping.

WOW. I just found your blog on the fashion magazine website, and I love the fact that you focus on the east coast. I also appreciate your writing style, very witty. Hope to see more photos though

Hey
I like your blog but I think you need to do more interviews. My favourite thing you did was the Green Man interview.
Good luck with the contest I'll be voting for you.
I just went to Just Us Girls for the first time and I was floored by how cool it was. My waitress was the sweetest(she has pink punk rock hair) and I bought the cutest dress I have ever owned.
Hey,
Do you have an email I can contact you at with blog questions? I can be reached at nora@matchstick.ca
Thanks!
I'm definitely with you on skipping the fur. It seems that a number of designers have been using it and I'm not sure why... ugh.
Oh my god. You're from Halifax. Oh my god.
I am addicted to lace dresses. Very impractical, but thoroughly enjoyable.
I like the look of skinny jeans but have very curvy legs so I skipped that trend. I stick to boot cut jeans because they help balance out the width of my hips. I also love the rest of the stuff you're getting for fall.
However, I am really into costume jewelry and since it's always summer weather where I live, florals are perfect for any time of year!
i will also be skipping fur for fall
