etsy roundup - top fall trends

The seasons are changing, the weather is getting cooler and the leaves are beginning to change color.  That only means one thing,  Autumn is here!

This year's top trends don't have to be purchased at the expensive boutique, you can find amazing vintage pieces that won't break the budget.

Trend: Brocade - this heavy, luxurious fabric is perfect for warming up your fall style.



Trend: Head-to-Toe Print - whether its a printed maxi, a suit, or pants with a matching cape, this is an easy way to spice up your closet.



Trend: Peplums and Feminine Silouettes




Trend: Fur (or Faux in my case!)





Trend: Jewel Tones - this one seems to come back each fall, but it's a great one!

my personal style

i like to refer to myself as having style schizophrenia.  one day i'll be casual in modern jeans and a cute tee or vintage polyester top and the next day i'll be dressed as a housewife in a 1950s shirt dress.  but right now, my style inspiration has been very bohemian/gypsy/hippie.  long, flowy, loose, natural.  here are a few pictures of my current inspiration:







but if i'm ever faced with a dress like this:


or WOW, this:


you know i wouldn't be able to pass it up.  the timeless looks of elegance and sophistication are such inspiration!

as i said, it changes from day to day, but thats what style does, it constantly changes and once you find a look you like, stick with it!  my style is vintage, whether that's 40s or 70s, it just depends on the day!
