FORECAST FRIDAY: FALL 2012 TRENDS

It is almost that time of the year again where the leaves change colors, and we finally get a break from this California heat!

                                PRETTY IN PEPLUM

Peplum has made its way to Fall!  From day to night, this trend is a hit! Pair a Peplum top with some skinny jeans and a cute pair of booty heels and your good to go.  Going out on the town for the night, a Peplum dress is the perfect classy look!

                                  GOLDEN BEAUTY

It's easy to look like a goddess this Fall.  Add a bit of glamour by wearing this Fall's trend Gold to your wardrobe.  Wether it's a gold accessory or a metallic gold outfit, it will definitely be quite the statement.  This trend is a classy and sophisticated! Accessorize a gold dress with something black and you will stand out!

                    LEATHER HEAD

This Fall the leather trend is coming in hot.  Leather has always been a popular trend, but this Fall it's really making a statement! This is one of my favorite trends because of its versatility.  From a simple leather jacket, to leather pants, dress, top and even leather gloves.  A simple piece of leather will spice up any outfit.
