Did I mention Vogues celebrated Fall issue arrived in my mailbox this week and that last night I read it cover to cover? All 780 pages...If you haven't seen it yet here's a sneak peek..red leather shoes and bags are where it's at for Fall..a far cry from the monotone beige and tan pumps and sandals for spring and summer that had the added benefit of elongating legs.. there are some rich reds making an appearance and that makes me glad I didn't toss the one red bag I kept from 5 yrs ago..remorseful I gave away the other one and wondering where in the garage are the red open toed pumps from 4 summers ago.. but in any case guess what else is rearing its head Plaid! Yes Plaid! And I don't mean the menswear shirts that came and went two winters ago or the baby doll numbers in "Buffalo" plaid but real old school plaid skirts, vests, leggings and you name it..anything goes but color will be key to this trend..the most popular styles will be in yup you guessed it red! I don't know about you but the first skinny plaid pants and skirt I come across will be mine..plaid can be so schoolgirl yet so punk rock at the same time..I am going to have fun with this. The Gap is bringing back their circa 1969 skinny bell bottoms and they are super cute, plan to see them in dark rinses...these will be meant to fit skin tight so by all means go with a smaller size and suck it in. And lastly something that I am beyond excited about is that Missoni is bringing a huge collection of fashion and housewares to Target yes Targay! Affordable! Their geometric knitwear essentials have long been a favorite since they hit the scene within Milan in the 1960's in psychedelic colors..not much has changed pattern wise but plan on seeing a lot of rich purples, greens and browns mixed together for Fall and don't even get me started on the blues..magnificent. I am eager to see what the housewares line has to offer as the matriarch behind one of Italy's oldest and most celebrated clothing lines is still at the helm heading up Missoni home.. I think you will find us in some pretty wild blankets this winter.
