I haven’t seen too many big or skinny belts as much as I use to, so I guess I should return my mom’s belts – I’m sure in 10 years I’ll pull it out of storage again. That’s the beauty of fashion, it’s recyclable. Every season it could be just a subtle change with big fashion implications! Little accessory upgrades really do make a difference and classic pieces will never go out of style – dress it up or dress it down and make it your own. RuPaul definitely was on to something when he said “We are born naked; everything else is drag”.

3.1 Phillip Lim Ready-to-Wear fall fashion show consisted of long and flowing pieces. Gone are our summer dresses and barely there ensembles and out come the pants and long skirts! If you don’t have a significant other, you could give your razors a break but don’t get carried away like Miranda from the Sex and The City Movie Lim had an equestrian type look and feel to his collection with tall boots and hats that Peter Pan would be envious of! His collection screamed classic but had a unique twist. After seeing his show, I definitely want to upgrade my wardrobe! (below is a photo from 3.1 Phillip Lim’s RTW fashion show 2008)

On the streets and in the stores I’ve seen a lot of prints, stripes, florals and scarves everywhere!

As much as I hate saying goodbye to summer, I always welcome an excuse to upgrade the wardrobe!

If you don’t know who Mr. Big is or where Charlotte keeps her rabbit… (we’re not talking about the chocolate bar or a cute bunny)by now you probably recognize the following names – Carrie, Samantha, Charlotte and Miranda. They taught us how to be strong, independent women all while setting some of today’s hottest fashion trends. Who doesn’t dream of a closet full of Monolos?
