A Fraction of Fall Forecasting

I'll try to keep this short and sweet! In all honesty, I could break this entire forecast into bits and pieces and talk about each factor that goes into what the designers have come up with for accessorizing this fall. IN.LOVE.

The color palette is excitedly interesting for the season...taste already acquired! While there are some expected appearances of Rust, Bordeaux, Eggplant and Mustard, there are also surprises of Emerald Green, Turquoise, Lilac, Cerulean and yes, even Orchid. It's to be expected for spring and summer, but continuing the tactic of adding that "pop of color" is a definite focus by the designers showcasing strong creativity for the fall.

Mixing and matching seems to be a trend as well. Blending exotic skins, suede, smooth nappa and chunky hardware...it's all there! From browsing, I gather some Santa Fe inspiration among the textiles used with an early nineties design aesthetic. It all sounds like a cluster, BUT comes together beautifully.

A classic silhouette drawn upon for shoes is the Venetian. With this, comes a dominance of the pointed toed pump. There's also multi use of furs, metals, studs and zippers as embellishment...a favorite edgy touch of mine :) Finally, if you thought animal prints were just a staple...there even more of a stand-out this time around!

One of my favorite little treasure I came across while researching was this gem of a Kate Spade necklace. It's a wonderful take on the Peter Pan collar (or bib).

I'll have to look into men's accessories a bit more, as you can see I only added a couple on here. Alright, I'm attaching more pictures to wrap this up...ENJOY!
