My Top Five For Fall 2010

As a wardrobe stylist the #1 question I am asked is, what I am going to buy each season to spruce up my wardrobe? I used to make top 10 lists and even top 20 lists. But I am here to tell you that there are only so many days in a year and only so many pieces of clothing/accessories that you are going to be able to wear. Too much will confuse you and offset your already existing perfectly cool wardrobe.....assuming that you have one of these;) If not, you may have to buy more. I happen to need absolutely nothing, but I do love fashion, so buying nothing is never an option. I have learned to carefully narrow down what I am going to buy each season to five key pieces. Here are my top five for Fall 2010:
{in no particular order}
A camel coat is something I don't already have in my wardrobe. It is an item that I will wear for years to come so I will make sure to choose a very classic style.

A pair of leather booties is a must!! I will wear these with many of fall looks. Now I have to choose which one! It wont be easy. Maybe I will base it on comfort......even though we all know a shoe with a heel over 2 inches is not really all that comfy after 5 hrs, but that's fashion for ya!!  (These are 3 inches. Not bad.)
My quest for that perfect lady like crossbody bag has ended! This one is from Marc by Marc Jacobs and it is called the "Perfect Purse Crossbody Bag."  I love the rich look of this color called current, and the chain strap is sooo Chanel. PERFECT! 

A navy blazer like this one on the left by Proenza Schouler is the perfect piece to incorporate into my wardrobe this fall. I could just throw it on with a tee shirt and jeans and look fabulous! The stacked heel boots on the right by  Chloé are new and fresh and will go with everything from long maxi skirts to skinny leg jeans or leggings!


As you can see I am partial to accessories. They can really change up your look! What are your top five for fall?? Post your comment here or click here to "like" Laura's Style on Facebook and post your comment there!

Fashion Is For Models. STYLE Is For Real Women.

The fashion world has always favored skinny models to show off the latest trends. But it's the real women who actually buy them. Why does this make sense? Well I guess when it comes right down to the brutal truth, people buy things that look good. And lets face it, clothes look better when they are smaller. It's kind of like when I go into a store to try on shoes and the one on display that I am attracted to is a size 6 or 7 and then the sales clerk brings out my size (9 or 9/2) and I'm like "That's not the same shoe, is it? The one on display looks different!" The clerk tells me that it is in fact the same shoe. Suddenly, I don't want to try it on anymore. So, I just want to tell all you ladies out there who are not a size 4 in a dress that I get it. But we can't let it bother us.  Fashion is everywhere and marketing is everywhere and the majority of it is big beautiful pictures of skinny people. Keep in mind, models in magazines have the b...

FALL for Flowers!

{Leifsdottir Alegrias tiered floral skirt} Totally unpredictable and completely cool. Flowers for fall are exactly what you need to take your "I miss summertime" blues away. There are no rules in fashion. It's just about achieving a look that is your best and that you feel good in. Who says plaid is the only print you can wear in the fall? Now, don't get me wrong. Plaid is one of my favorite patterns. So maybe we can mix them together! {See below} Flower patterns are fun and so glamorous during any season. Just make your floral skirts a little more fall like by wearing a pair of colorful tights! Can you say FLOWER POWER?! And we are going to need some major FLOWER POWER especially when the temperature begins to drastically drop. {Christopher Kane ~ garden leather mini skirt} {Carolina Herrera}

The Necessary Black T-Shirt

I have to admit, I have not been getting dressed up much these days. I think it has something to do with just wanted to be comfortable. I have been sewing a ton of masks at The Maine Square   and it just feels better to not be confined in my clothing as I am cutting fabric and sewing. However, I do have to go out of the studio occasionally. Mostly it's to the mailbox, but sometimes it's to get more supplies and of course food. I don't mean to sound pretentious or anything, but I do think about how I look even when going out to do these quick errands. It makes me feel good to look half decent! Lately I have been opting for a simple black tee shirt and a pair of semi faded jeans. All I need to do it pop on a camel colored blazer and some ballet flats and I am good to go! Oh yeah, and I ALWAYS wear a mask when entering a public facility these days. I think it's just common courtesy with all that is going on with the corona virus.  Here are some of my all-time favori...
