Now that the transition into fall is in full swing, it's time to fall in line. To get the season started, here are a few trends I'm considering as my must-haves. Stay tuned for more...
As someone who's not usually attracted to red shades, I'm finding myself really loving the richness of deep reds this fall season. There's just something quiet enticing about the intense color that's very reminiscent of the broad spectrum of different red wines. Having already purchased one item for the season in this color, I predict I'll totally be locked and loaded in wine cellar for fall.
I'll take a glass of Cabernet Sauvignon please. Will you be joining me?
By now we’re all face deep into the September issues of our beloved fashion magazines, perusing through pages of editorials. What went down the runways during last fashion week is now coming to life—to a store, and hopefully a closet near you. It’s the single most important representation letting us know that fall is indeed very near.
Marie Claire's editor-in-chief, Joanna Cole, put it best: the excitement of a new season is "a crisp promise of new beginnings." To that end, if you're anything like me, you've already started to make your “back-to-school”, or, in some cases, “back-to-fashion” wish lists, making sure every covetable item you come across has been tagged, or circled (I like to use those colorful Post-it pop up sticky thingies).
Bring it on fall, I'm ready for you--sorta!
So in the spirit of the approaching fall season, I will be sharing with you three of my favorites moments (fashion or not) from the pages of a few September issues. First up, Marie Claire.
“A nagging suspicion, fueled by the forensic details of other people’s lives we are privy to on social media, that our own existences are somehow lacking. If we’d made the right decisions, we berate ourselves, we’d have the fascinating careers/relationships/opinions/offspring/social lives that we perceive others all around us to have.”How many of you have a few of these symptoms, even in the slightest bit? (Hangs head, and raises hand) Well I encourage you to check out Marie Claire’s September issue to find out how to let go of FOMO, I plan to start my recovery now. I’d also love to hear your thoughts. Tweet me @TheFabChick and let’s discuss.

Who cares what this Olympic champion's hair looks like, Gabby Douglas is a WINNER--an Olympic Champion making history as the first black woman to win gold in the all-around competition. To think her hair is a topic up for discussion when she's busy racking up gold medals in a sport many of us couldn't even think to do. I can remember my short stint as a gymnast like it was yesterday, crying and squealing when I had to stand on the balance beam all alone. Needless to say, I begged my mom to take me out of the class. I look back now and wish I had 1/3 of the gumption Gabby has, she definitely has inspiration flowing through her little body.
