If you’re a fan of staying in line with certain trends like I am, then I bet you’ll be excited to hear that Pantone has finally released its color trends for spring 2020. Twelve youthful and friendly hues make up this spring color report. From a vibrant red hue, labeled Flame Scarlet, to a luscious and futuristic purple tone, known as Grape Compote, spring’s various trending hues are a fantastic way to liven up any outfit! It may be a bit early to start thinking about spring while we are just settling into the early fall season, but who says we can’t get a jumpstart on these color trends?! Here are some of my favorite Pantone hues from the report and some stylish ways that I’ve been seeing some these colors already being worn!
Coral Pink
Who says pastels are only for spring?! Playing around with a feminine hue like coral pink is the perfect way to add some femininity to a stylish fall outfit.
Sunlight
A bit mellower than the yellows that were trending this past summer season, but perfect adding a little bit of warmth to your cooler weather looks!
Cinnamon Stick
This luxurious hue makes it easy to add a bit of spice to any wardrobe!
Chive
Greens have been trending for a while, but this fresh hue is slightly more whimsical and equally as chic as your other favorite green hues.
Grape Compote
If you want to add an unexpected color to your outfit, then Grape Compote is just he hue for you!

Why Fast Fashion is a Feminist Issue
I’ve been reading a lot about sustainable fashion lately, and I am finally starting to see the topic come up in the mainstream media and I couldn’t be happier!

October 3rd, 2019 by Jennifer Beile The Essential Fall Piece that Every Celeb is Falling For
Cardigans have always been essential for fall, but this season’s modern updates, like cropped styles, statement sleeves, and bold prints, have elevated the once simple layering knit into a trend-forward, edgy autumnal piece. Take a look at how Katie Holmes, Kaia Gerber, Bella Hadid, and Chrissy Teigen have been wearing this season’s must-have cardigan.
Mix Prints & Textures
Use a cardigan as a way to experiment with mixing prints and textures with your outfit to make a bold statement this season.
Classic, Preppy Layering
If the weather is still mild, and a second layer is hit or miss, you’ll love the 80’s preppy trend of tying your cardigan around your shoulders.
Forgo Layering & Wear it as a Top
Find a cardigan with a bit of structure and forgo the layer underneath, creating a top out of your chunky knitted cardigan for an edgy twist on the preppy style.
Play With Proportions
We all love a long, chunky cardigan to cozy up to during the crisp weather. Try layering your essential cardigan with a jacket (under or atop!) for more warmth.

October 1st, 2019 by Jennifer Beile The Five 80’s Trends You’ll be Seeing this Fall & How to Style Them
Trends cycling back into fashion from the 80’s is not new. This year, we have seen the resurgence of kitten heels, bike shorts, neon colors, and chunky sneakers take over, but this fall more trends that we (rightfully so) bid adieu to more than two decades ago will be cycling back into style. The key to pulling off these bold 80’s trends without looking like you’re dressed in your Halloween costume is subtly. The art of being subtle while trying to style neon colors, bows, lace or taffeta, exaggerated sleeve and shoulder details seems almost impossible. The solution to keeping it simple to focus on one aspect of a trend you’re interested in and build an outfit around it, not completely of it, and keep the rest of the outfit understated.
Acid Wash Denim
One of the many current denim trends is the rise of acid wash jeans. This faded wash is not being resigned to just your bottoms, but jackets, dresses, jumpsuits; all things denim have been popping up in a throwback acid wash.
Prairie Dresses
Ruffles, lace, and puffy sleeve details are all components that make up the sweet, nostalgic prairie dress that is feminine, pretty, and flattering for all body types and can be styled in a variety of ways, from rocker chic to free-spirited boho.
Strong Shoulders
Shoulder pads are back! They may not be as big as they were in the 80’s but the strong detail will give you the confidence that you deserve to carry yourself. Throw a strong-shouldered blazer atop your outfit for a smart casual look.
Scarf Prints
Traditional scarf motifs have been expanded from strictly scarves to blouses, skirted, dresses and even accenting accessories and jackets. Pair these bold pieces with otherwise minimalist outfits to make a statement this season.
Classic Prep
My Instagram feed is full of influencers and style gurus knotting their sweaters over their shoulders, layering a collared button-down under a simple knit sweater, and pairing trousers with loafers, all a nod to the classic prep school chic of the 80’s.
September 30th, 2019 by Samantha Furno 5 Fall Trends that are Totally 90’s
There is no denying that the 90’s were a decade in fashion that will truly never be forgotten. This past summer, we saw quite a few nostalgic trends popping up (i.e. bucket hats & singlet tanks) and now that fall is in full swing, we can fully expect to see even more trends inspired by this eclectic decade! I, for one, am super excited to add some 90’s inspired pieces and trends to my cooler weather wardrobe! I’ve rounded up some of my favorite 90’s inspired trends that I have been seeing on Instagram lately and I have a feeling that these looks will inspire you to add some throwback flair to your fall fits!
Longline Jacket
From head to toe, this look is totally reminiscent of the 90’s! Longline leather jackets were a must-have layering piece back then and this chic and functional silhouette is definitely making a comeback for fall 2019.
Corduroy
Soft and comfortable, corduroy is a great textile to incorporate into your wardrobe for some 90’s flair this season!
A Cute Cardigan
Like long line jackets, cardigans were a go-to layering piece of the 1990’s and these fitted layers are totally on trend for fall when you wear them strategically buttoned as a top!
Animal Print
Channel your 90’s spirit animal by incorporating this fun print into any outfit for fall!
Branded Anything
Just like the 90’s, labeled and monogrammed styles are a trend that we are seeing a lot more of for fall!
