Hello Everyone! Haute Couture week in Paris has just finished up the runway shows, all displaying the new and upcoming fashions for Autumn and Winter 2014. Fashion is always looking for the next style. The magazines are looking seasons ahead! Women all over the globe are drinking their pina colladas by the pool side, sitting under their huge floppy hats and watching the runway shows perched on their well tanned laps. Although I might not be by a pool somewhere in the Caribbean, I am trying on fall perfect skirts and tops with a killer pair of boots. The same fashion measures are taken in the winter time. The snow is blanketed across my window pane yet I have the heat turned way up and am trying on an array of brightly colored sundresses. The outfit I put together in the next couple of photos is one that was inspired in anticipation for the upcoming fall styles. The black and brown shades would look wonderful in front of caramel and pumpkin leaves but I am writing this in the hopes of proving a point so instead of those shades of auburn and orange, I am in front of summer flowers. I am told to stay in the moment but fashion doesn’t bother to wait and stay as it is constantly changing. It keeps it interesting along with of course all it’s surprises. Look outside, the fashion minded are beginning to switch to more autumn shades. Enjoy!
