I feel like they really edit the show, especially lately, to make Kenley look bitchy & obnoxious. She's not my favorite by any means, but I don't dislike her. I looove Leanne & Korto!
Soooo.... I'm making a lot more money right now than I ever have, and after a long time of feeling guilty about shopping I am actually able to set aside money for some fall clothes! I'm very excited ;D So what's great for fall? I haven't really been keeping up since I was broke for so long. From the little I've seen, there seems to be a bit of a departure from the flowy, girly, a bit bohemian stuff that I loved this summer...
Speaking of new fall fashion. What do y'all think about the new super long pants that go all the way to the ground with a heel on? I tried on some dark wide-leg trouser jeans with a wide cuff that hit the floor in my 3.5 heels. They just looked strange on me. Maybe it was just those pants though

i like long pants so i hope this is a trend. i do wear them with heels. im also short so maybe i feel it gives me a little more leg. i dont think you need to feel that you have to like them - there seems to be a lot of options out this year including the shorter pants and the capris (which i cant seem to wear without looking stupid) im not sure what ill buy for fall - i may just recycle from last year. there doesnt seem to be a lot of new stuff out there.

clarity, i tried some trouser jeans last year and i never did look right in them. if you want to try the long pants - maybe slacks. i have a pair of long black slacks with a large cuff at the bottom. they are not super wide but not skinny leg either. i also have a pair of normal long black pants.
trouser jeans looked very "mommie" on me. i think because im sorta long waisted (even though im short)

here comes....you are right. i didnt think about that but there is less bohemian but it could be back next summer. i did see more taylored pieces maybe and still the menswear inspired - but i havent seen anythiing thats really that different. there are a lot of sweater dresses in the VS catalog but those can be hard to pull off and often look different on than in a picture. i always end up looking at the comfortable loungewear in the VS catalog even though i have enough of that. i like how they have decent looking loungewear now - not sure i you guys even remember when it was pretty much ...regular sweats or nothing - they didnt make a lot of cute or fitted fleece items and i dont think they made yoga pants at all (maybe just yoga clothing companies made them not sure) . i dont even think i owned fleece until like.....7 years ago? it used to be such a sloppy thing to wear. im glad that changed.
^that must be my problem too. My skinny/lanky roommate just got some jeans like that and they are super cute. But I have a really long torso and short legs. That might be why they looked weird on me.

I have a butt and hips and thighs so pants are always long on me even in heels some of them drag but I think that looks better on me personally. Ive dropped a pant size and still losing so now theyre all just too big haha. I have been dressing up more lately though. I used to always wear something cute, not fix myself up but always wear different things and lots of dresses then when I had a boyfriend I just was a bum but now I am dressed and put together every day and feel so much more confident and get lots of compliments too. I still have a bohemian type style though, but there are ways to do it and make it more current and more fitted and I like playing with lots of things and trying something different. And since Ive lost weight I fit into soooo much more of my old clothes so its like I have a whole new wardrobe haha.
question though! I definitely have HIPS but my natural waist is pretty small compared to my hips and I love the belt with the loose shirt or dress look but I always feel like instead of making my waist look really small it just makes my hips look HUGE but I asked some people and they were like "no it just makes your waist look small" but I cant get past the fact that I have huge hips bulging out from the sides. Does anyone else have the same problem??
^^Yes! I get the idea of defining your smallest part on paper, but for me it just seems to accentuate what comes right below it. Just like empire waists. The way I get around it is with a super thick belt a little bit lower than my natural waist... it cinches your waist and seems to bisect my hips, making them a little less "tada!". If that makes any sense.
Menswear inspired stuff looks great on some other women, but I still like simple, girly, and flowy stuff. I need to figure out how to transition my cute sundresses into fall...

Guys, I am seriously unhappy with the current fashion trends. I may have already complained about this in here, but UGH. Everything looks unflattering, boring, and dated to me. AND WHY IS EVERYTHING COVERED IN RUFFLES?
I love love love the current fashion. Right now I'm wearing a purple cropped blazer, wide leg jeans and booties and just love it. My hair is on its second day, but I just teased the crown a bit so it doesn't sit there all limp and sad. And my favorite new item is a pencil skirt that actually fits and doesn't wrinkle when I just look at it.
But then structured clothing has always been better for me. Makes me look like a woman and not a blob.

Don't know if they're great, i guess it's a matter of opinion, but here are some trends i've picked up on:
Plaid = Huge (i love plaid but they're seriously killing it this fall) Boyfriend Cardigans = also Huge, really trendy to belt them Sheer blouses/sheerness somewhere on a top - looks like this will continue into spring and I'm betting it will be bigger next fall too. Neck details on tops - ruffles/bows/etc Black - especially lace & the little black dress (which is always in but seems to be making a bigger statement this fall) Higher waists in skirts and pants are appearing to steadily rise in popularity, this includes pencil skirts (classic coming into popularity) Waist belts continue with scarves/sashes as belts being cutting edge Rolled up jeans (looser straight/boyfriend cut pants rolled up to the ankles and sported with ankle boots or sandals) Fringe: especially for accessories (shoe & purses)
Luckily bohemian isn't gone completely (i love it too!), it's kind of been blended with folk/rock/russian influences. Think darker colors, folk and small floral prints, vests, tall boots, bomber jackets, embroidery/embellishments, fringe, flowy shorter skirts, etc. Anna Sui always provides me with some bohemian/rock inspiration: www.style.com/fashionshows/complete/F2008RTW-ANNASUI

Same. I'm especially loving the blazers right now. A taylored jacket makes anyone look thinner and gives you great shape!

i look better in structured stuff, and tend to wear a lot of structured stuff in the winters, theyre just not nearly as comfortable. Lately I've been wearing a lot of trouser/ wide legged jeans, blazers, blouses, vests. They're much more flattering on my body than my summer flowy stuff I just wish I had the same ease when I moved around a lot.

i just found this product. its a product to prevent you from getting blisters when you are walking a lot of breaking in hiking boots. its sorta a cushy slick thing that you wear under socks but i notice on the site that it can be wore instead of socks. i think its a great idea. i just ordered some for my new hikers!
maybe some of you hike or perhaps some of you might want to check out a pair to wear in your roo shoes?

clair. thanks for the link....i LOVE tha cowl and that wig is a great solution for people who want to do something different. it doesnt look heavy like most of the ones i see
that cowl..it says it can be worn on the neck, head, or folded. what does that mean? i dont get the folded part?
Watchin' a stretch of road, miles of light explode. Driftin' off a thing I'd never done before. Watchin' a crowd roll in. Out go the lights it begins. A feelin' in my bones I've never felt before...
