Here we go, another season is upon us with more dazzling and addictive trends coming back! Who’s excited for Fall & Winter?! I’m 50/50 about it, I love Summer and the sun but this heat we’ve been having this year is CRAZY! I loved all the trends and styles for Summer we had this year, but I’m excited for AW18! I’m excited to be able to open the window and get a nice breeze going, oh and 1 word, BOOTIES! I’m addicted to booties and boots, and nothing says AW more than boots right?

I’ve been doing a lot of research and scoping the fashion week shows that have been happening all over the world. Popular Fall colors for this year to look for are: Red Pear, Valiant Poppy, Nebulas Blue, Pink Peacock, Earthy Browns, Ceylon Yellow, Martini Olive, Ultra Violet, Crocus Petal, and hints of Tofu and Almond Buff. Here’s Pantone’s AW18 Top 12 color palette:

Rachel by Rachel Roy, Revolve, Topshop, Calvin Klein, and Bardot’s trendy pieces featuring top AW18 trends

These pieces are so darling and going to be a huge trend for AW18. I love the delicate looks, and fabrics that show all the right curves of your body. See, AW fashion isn’t dark and boring. You can find most of these pieces at quite affordable prices on Revolve, and Macy’s!

 

Stylish Sleepers

Amazing new AW18 collection from For Restless Sleepers

Another fabulous trend hitting the streets is stylish sleepwear for outings. Yes, stylish sleepwear is a thing now. These aren’t your normal slips or pajamas, they’re sleek and sexy!  F.R.S. is the monogram of Francesca Ruffini, she is the heart of this project and is said to be a true monogram addict. Find all her amazing Italian beauties here.

As you can see, just because we’re going into AW18 doesn’t mean it’s all dark and boring. There are such great mixes of florals, bold patterns, pops of red, pink, and even bright whites! What I love is that some of Summer is still carried through AW18 but with a twist to the boldness and shades of the prints. Stay tuned for more fashion posts coming up this season but before I go, enjoy this great quote I came across.

“Fashion is part of the daily air and it changes all the time, with all the events. You can even see the approaching of a revolution in clothes. You can see and feel everything in clothes.” – Diana Vreeland
