September is the most important month for fashion and every single magazine usually releases a very heavy, thick issue. From Vogue to Marie Claire, to Elle and Harper’s Bazaar, each issue has tons of spreads, talks about tons of styles and features tons of celebrities.

 

But instead of spending $5 per magazine, I have taken the liberty of compiling a list of fashion’s hottest fall styles below.

 

 

1)   Either platform snakeskin sandals, or booties.

Whether PETA runs your life or not, snakeskin is in and currently being sold everywhere. People have gotten tired of the usual plain shoes, and leopard print is generally stereotyped as hooker-ish, so it was decided somewhere along the line that snakeskin is the new sexy, sultry, but not slutty shoe.

Then there are those lovely high-heeled booties that have been all over Vogue for the last few months. Booties are great because they are warm, comfortable and perfect to wear to work (or school) and are being sold everywhere. So for those of you who have the money, Prada has some amazing styles. Those of you on a budget will be happy to know that these shoes are being sold everywhere from Nine West, to Mandees and Rainbow.

 

2)   Off the Shoulder Dresses (thank you Michelle Obama)

Since everyone saw Michelle O’s inaguration ball gown, designer’s haven’t stopped capitalizing on it’s popularity. Any kind of off the shoulder dress works, black, white, purple or rainbow. The world can’t get enough.

 

3)   The boyfriend jeans are out, but Boyfriend Blazer’s are in!

This fall, your boyfriend’s, father’s, or even your mother’s old blazer’s from the 80’s are in. Power dressing seems to be the way to melt away the cold this season, and a strong-shouldered blazer is necessary to complete your look. Vogue suggests buying a Stella McCartney blazer for $2,085… as for the rest of us, there are thrift shops.

 

Check back tomorrow for the rest!!
