My Cup Of Tea: Fashion

The Midi

Another fashion trend that I'm running late on, typical. The Midi skirt is making its way into the fashion world and I, along with many others, are falling in love. Not quite a maxi skirt but it falls just below the knee at a perfectly elegant length. The Queen of the Midi Skirt is Blair Eadie of Atlantic-Pacific (One of my all-time favorite fashion blogs.) Check out how she rocks the Midi below:

Now isn't that some fabulous inspiration?! Now its our turn to try it out...

Winter Packing

With the upcoming holiday season, everyone will be traveling around spending time together. It is now time to start prepping for the holidays with a perfectly packed suitcase. I always end up over packing and always regret bringing something that I never use, but I'm trying to actually think packing through and packing items that not only are "suitcase friendly" but also are versatile.
Here are some of my favorite picks for winter.

J Crew Hooded Parka

This parka is a winter must, a heavy coat is a necessity for winter.

Patagonia Fleece

I love this fleece, I got it recently and absolutely love it, it is nice a cozy to wear during winter.

J Crew Camp Socks

Everyone loves a good thick sock and during winter they are a must-have.

Hunter Rain Boots

Everyone needs a pain of good rain boots that can be worn in the rain or snow and Hunter provides some of the best ones.

Hunter Fair Isle Cuff

A perfect match to your Hunter boots would be a nice Christmasy pair on Hunter socks to give your feet a little extra warmth.

Favorite Fall Collections

As we enter fall, I am beginning to add different pieces to my closet from fall collections. Some of my favorite brands have not disappointed me and they have brought me some fabulous new pieces. Here are some of my favorite fall collections:

Madewell

Madewell has been one of my favorite brands this past year and they didn't disappoint with the new fall collection. I discovered the brand through a friend and now I love it. I have heard Madewell described as the love-child of J. Crew and Urban Outfitters and I absolutely love it.

Madewell Fall Collection

Jack Wills

If you don't know this small British company with the motto "Fabulously British", I highly recommend it. The make fabulous sweatpants and jumpers that are super soft and really adorable. I love their fall collection and will defiantly be picking up some of these pieces.

I love this sweater!

Fall Fashion

Recently because of New York Fashion Week I have been catching up on my current fall fashion. Thanks to InStyle and Vouge's September Issues with a total of 1,618 pages to read I have had a ton of reading to do in the world of fashion. Here's what I have noticed:

Disclaimer: These trends are not for everyone, me personally I normally don't follow all of the fashion trends at any given moment. Dress in what makes you feel good and applies to you. Don't feel like you have to dress in whats "popular" because I surely don't. :)

1. Leather

Leather is huge this season. For the Fall/Winter Collections of many designers they incorporated leather in more ways than just leather jackets. They have been putting it on sweaters, on skirts and just about everything. Check out some of my favorites below:

J. Crew Leather Pixie Pant

ASOS Faux Leather Skirt

Anthropologie Classic Leather Jacket

Anthropologie Pullover with Leather Collar

2. Prints and Patterns

Prints and Patterns are also very "in" this season. With many prints appearing in dresses, blouses and even shoes. Prints and Patterns such as florals, animal prints, stripes and many more are appearing in Fall.

Roberto Cavalli Animal Print Shirt and Floral Short

J Crew Printed Tee

Valentino Floral Dress

3. The Blues and Different Hues
Did you catch that rhyme there? But anyway, for Fall fashion 2013 I have been seeing a lot of solid color fashions and even some more block coloring. Two very apparent colors making an appearance this season are blues and grays. I have seen many other colors such as white and hunter green but I have seen a ton of blue and gray.
