Hey!
So believe it or not lovelies, summer is over:( Pretty soon we’ll be trading in our sundresses and sunnies for blazers and boots. To make the transition easy for you, we’ve compiled the 5 hottest fall trends you’ll need to be fashionable this season.
1. Peplum Dresses
This skirted look mixes flirt with femininity, flattering most shapes in strapless or asymmetric styles. Rock a peplum piece in blue like Rihanna or Estelle, or go for a more subdued look a la Nia Long in black:
2. Extended Shoulders
Whether it’s the 80′s effect or Balmain, shoulder pads have made a resurgence in a real way both on runways and real women. The power shoulder dominates this season, so update your blazers and dresses with these cute options:
3. Platform Heels
This season we’re adding even more height to your traditional shoes in platform styles that sculpt the legs while making you look long and lean:
4. Layered Necklaces
This falls calls for chunky neck pieces, brimming over with pearls, balls, and chains. Keep it funky like Adrienne Bailon, or go for more of a classic style like Sanaa:
5. Thigh High Boots
Thigh High boots guarantee adequate protection against a fall chill, and are an unquestionably hot look. For this transitional time, wear your pair with a chic mini dress like Melody Thornton or Kim Kardashian, then move on to jeans and a cute top like Golden Brooks for cooler temps:
What trend are you looking forward to the most?

Omg, the extended shoulder, platforms, and knee highs are a must have this fall for me!!

I’m short so platforms are a definate choice for me. Just got a new pair, peep toe suede in royal blue!!! Although some styles probably wont work for me. I have larger calves, so I dont think I can find any Thigh Highs.
