GET LACED: 2013 Fall Fashion Trend

One of this years hottest fall trends, lace, has definitely gone from the chapel to the runway. 

No longer seen as matronly, lace, has been reinvented and dubbed 'the new lace'. The runways from New York to London Fashion Weeks have been flooded with lacing details.

This very intricate texture has long since been a fashion staple for many, many years, with emphasis on bridalwear.  However, this very chic and sophisticated pattern and texture is a red hot commodity, which has made its way on and has been incorporated in this years top designs and styles, including slacks and jumpsuits.

The red carpet has blazed the lace trail as well. A slew of stars and celebs along with their glam squads have hopped aboard the lace train. And because it has been so very well incorporated into modern designs, it didn't take much convincing. 

Shoe designers are also getting in on the lace bandwagon. From the very well known Jimmy Choo to Steve Madden, lace is the 'it' texture to rock on your feet this fall. And because 'the new lace' has made such an impact this year, it can be worn, pretty much, anywhere with anything.

Top manicurist and nail techs are cashing in on the lace design as well. So much so, that actual lace has made its way onto some of the most popular hands in the world.

It is also very much 'in' to accessorize with lace, especially if you're not quite sure or sold on a full lace ensemble. Purses, earrings, bracelets, cuffs, and cell phone cases are definitely great ways to add the flair and detail to any outfit.

In addition, as with most of the hottest styles this year, you can also find lace in different colors. From very bright to classic black, lace has a color to fit all skintones and types. There are also new, different, and fun lace patterns debuting this fall season, leaving all with plenty to choose from.

So, as you transition or whether you've already transitioned into your fall and winter wardrobe, why not try to play around with, mix and match, and work 'the new lace' into some of your favorite fall ensembles.

It's not a Trend It's a Comeback: Denim Overalls

Over the years Denim Overalls have been in and out of style. They popped up in the 70's and in the ’90s they were a staple. And now once again they're appearing on the fashion runways making them the hottest and newest trend this season. If styled correctly and with a little patience, anyone can find a pair that looks fabulous. Just make sure to wear your denim with stylish, modern accessories like a polished clutch or chic boots or heels for an eclectic and not-at-all-outdated ensemble! Will you be a trendsetter this fashion season. Keep it Swank. 

CUFF ME: The Ear Cuff Trend

By now we've all seen or at least heard of the ear cuff fashion trend.

This dainty and sometimes over the top statement piece has simply exploded on the fashion scene. Most have often associated these cuffs with the rock -n- roll era and style but they are far removed from that brand.

They have gone from casual and flirty to posh and glamorous. Though some have said that they are uncomfortable, many celebrities are sporting the infamous ear cuffs on the red carpet, adding flare to a nice up-do or swooped to the side hairstyle that shows off the earpiece.

The ear cuffs themselves have transitioned quite a bit over the years and have become more extravagant. They range from small and petite, that fits right at the top part of the ear that is subtle yet barely noticeable to large and crafty, with a full on ear takeover. 

There are even those that are bedazzled to the gods and ones that are chained and connects to the hair. While others have chains that hang below the chin or connects to a neck piece.

Whatever the preference or occasion it looks like the ear cuff is definitely going to be around for awhile. Will you be 'cuffed' this fall and winter season? I think I will.
