Fall Fashion Series #3

Leather has been popular in the past but this season fashion is stepping it up. Not only are leather boots and purses in style but leather pants, skirts and details. This can be an intimidating trend but anyone can rock it. Here are a few looks that really caught my eye this season.

This is a bold choice but fur and leather can look wonderful

Cozy and comfortable with a warm sweater, the black monochromatic looks great and will make her look taller.

Go classic with a leather jacket. Cognac looks great with black and works with any style.

Fall Fashion Series #2

Radiant Orchid is the color of the year. I have been behind in embracing this trend but recently saw a nail polish in this beautiful shade and became inspired. It can be difficult to wear and most of the stuff on the runways is so different that what i would wear in real life. I dont know about you but i would get stares. It can be a tricky color because you could very well look five if you don't wear it correctly. Well here are a few ways to include radiant orchid into your wardrobe  while also matching the upcoming fall season.

Add Fur

I love this first look, who doesn't love a flowy top? This one is also paired with sophisticated accessories and looks crisp.




















Mix with Neutrals

This look from onelittlemomma looks effortless. Stick with dark neutrals for fall and the leopard print looks amazing in this outfit as well.



















Mix with Leopard Print

If your more daring do more lepard and look so chic like skirttherulesblog.. Notice the accessories are neutrals. You dont want to go too crazy.



















Mix with Camo

I wouldn't have thought of this one but look how cute. It works since the radiant orchid is a pop of color in this stylish military inspired outfit.



















Add a Scarf

Scarves scream fall and this look from glitterandgingham is so cute. She is brave and did both camo and leopard print. But if your looking for small ways to add in radiant orchid for the fall a scarf is perfect. 

Add a Necklace

The statement necklace is still in and going strong. What an easy way to add this color and make it pop. 

With Lace

Fall lace is so popular and why not add some radiant orchid underneath or pair it together? This look is from missoni. 

Here are some more looks I love:

Fall Fashion Series #1

Kicking off my Fall Fashion Series with a bang! I went to Swiss Days up in Midway, UT and walking around the statement piece of the day was the Little J Headband. I had to see what the fuss was about and yes this is an amazing new product. The owner and designer was there helping everyone learn how to use the Little J Headband. I was in awe of how great this looked on everyone, short hair, long hair, seriously such a cute, easy, versatile product. I picked out the Lemongrass green color and am so excited to try mine out. I will post photos soon. I now wish i would have gotten one in each color they are all eye catching and such vibrant colors! Here are some photos of these epic new trendsetting headbands:

Use to hold bangs and wispy hair back

Another updo style

Pin up half your hair

Or just wear hair down with a cute, funky design

You can also roll your hair and use the J headband 

to hold a bun in the back

You can find these great steals on their website littlejheadbands.com along with tutorial videos on different styles. I love how creative you can be. Post your pics on Instagram #MLfashionseries and check back next week for Fall Fashion Series #2, you're going to love this one....follow me on instagram at themrsed to see a sneakpeak!

Spring Runway Looks You Can Wear Now

The new spring styles have already come out on the runways but what if its snowing at your house? Here are some spring runway styles that you can start wearing now. From fringe, to menswear and floral I have you covered with all the great styles at affordable prices as well. 

Floral

Even though floral can scream spring and summer try a floral with a dark background to make it more suitable for the colder months. Wear floral in leggings, a dress or skirt with boots or even a knit sweater.

Sweet Floral Peplum Dress

Forever 21

$24.80

Menswear

I like to see menswear in shoe styles but this can also work in trouser pants, blazers and even a crisp white shirt which is also in style this spring. The first example are more expensive but too cute not to include. The second and third pairs are simpler but way more in my budget.

Fringe

This can be a scary trend to pull off but i suggest going simple first. Try a little on some booties or a purse. If your really daring try one of the fun flapper style dresses. There are lots of looks you can achieve with fringe.

Shift Blouse

It's almost like a dressy version of a tee-shirt. The sleeves are almost to the elbow and they are oh so comfortable. Shift blouses can be worn with skinny jeans or leggings. Make sure you create balance with a tighter fitting pant.. 

Pastels

The best thing about pastels? You can pick your most flattering color and wear it with what you want. As little or as much pastel. Mint, lilac and robins egg are all colors that are going to be in this spring.
