Fall Fashion 2015- Back & Better Than Ever - Part I- The Light Side

Happy fall my friends!!  & you know what that means....it's not only my favorite & the most magical of seasons but it's...drum roll please...fall fashion time!!

As you may recall, last year I had a rough go of things but I am happy to report that this year is all rainbows & butterflies (i.e. glamour, luxury & impeccable tailoring ;)  So let's get on with it!...

For the record, I will not be partaking in the mom jeans trend (& this is the first & last time I will speak of such hideous things)....& in fact there's a new jean in town ready to kick (& show off) some serious ass...mom jeans & women & men alike will fall weak in their presence...

Are you ready??  Are you ready??!  Enter the long, crisp & lean white flare...

this look from Sonia Rykiel is one of my top picks for the season.  The crisp white jeans tone down the major glamour & luxury of the fur coat (ugh, for the sake of this post let's just pretend this stunner is faux) & bring in a young, fresh & sassy vibe (I love how the dark buttons tie in the coat too).  

same jeans but totally different look...kind of retro-patriotic & just, well, fun...

some serious swagger at Isabel Marant, this takes jeans & a sweater to another stratosphere...love, love, love...

you might be noticing something a little strange here....yes, you're not going to believe it but this previously all black everything New Yorker has turned to the light side...friends, it's time to come clean... I am completely & utterly obsessed with white.  It's so fresh, ethereal, luxurious & expansive.  What's not to love?  (except the dry cleaning bills ;)  & I am thrilled with the idea of continuing white into the fall (& not winter white, but totally pure & fresh white)...

if Princess Leia went shopping at Saks I think this is what she'd come out with...

this Chloe dress looks very couture cleric or nurse but I'm intrigued & want to walk around in it & pretend I'm a chic shaman or something, beckoning people to come to the light side with me...

 Alexander McQueen, 'nuff said...

 Marni...

the McQueen dress gets a totally different look when paired with their black leather & shearling jacket...the silhouette, the girly/edgy combo, McQueen...ahhhh!  In my dictionary this is the definition of dope... :) :)

a killer day look at Isabel Marant...work it girl ;)...

& a diaphanous vision of loveliness for evening... 

Chanel's black & midnight blue eyes are the perfect dark & edgy counterpoint to these fresh, white looks while the glossy, nude lips keep things balanced & dewy... 

Up next...The Dark Side....with all my talk of being light & ethereal you know I couldn't keep away ;)... Stay tuned!
