Fall Wish List and Trend Report - Rebecca's picks

With the refreshing change in the weather comes the "oh, so exciting" release of new fall merchandise in stores and online!

Here are a few of the items on my fall wish list:

Military-inspired lace-up boots like these at right from Bass Shoes (Bradly boots by Bass Shoes, $99).

Nude heels – I’ve been looking for a while now but cant find the perfect, sturdy and not too high, pair...the search continues... i'm open for suggestions!

So excited about my new:

Embellished boots from JCPenney (Decree Alecia boot, on sale $39.99 http://www.jcp.com/ - see right) and classic trench from Anne Klein.

Please read on for the Fall Trends that I’m most excited about!

Ladylike - Bring on the full skirts and prim tops! See below for looks from the Louis Vuitton Fall 2010 runway and ad campaigns. (photos courtesy of www.louisvuitton.com). Check department stores, second hand stores, and your grandmother's closet for lower priced options.

Faux fur - I’ve been collecting vintage faux fur coats since I was a teen, it's time to pull them out of the closet, shake them out and rock them about town! Fur vest ($98) at right from http://www.victoriassecret.com/

Military remix (i.e. a military piece with something unexpected like sequins (see left), leopard print or girly lace (like below). Sequin bed jacket ($89.50) and military jacket ($88) and tiered skirt ($49.50) from www.victoriassecret.com
