Red Velvet

Be irresistible in red! The spicy color is popping up in every collection and the garments are standing out. This season, expect to see more than just bright red, too. Burgundy and ox blood are appearing in leather and lipstick form. And I'm loving it all.

The Blast

Even if you've had that, "Oh sh*t, I'm not going back to school!" moment, don't be scared to channel your inner high schooler. This year, upgrade your graphic tee, pull out a sports-inspired jacket and add some funky accessories. And if you are going to be a bad*ss this time around, ditch the backpack and rock a hemline that is inappropriate for school.

Trend to Try Now: Big Cats

Prowling across runways for fall is a whole pack of feline inspired pieces. I am literally salivating over the tiger print Kenzo bag and Mullberry top but if tiger is not to your taste, every big cat from lion to snow leopard is represented. Channel your inner hunter and pounce on your favorite carnivorous creation now. After all, in fashion as in life, it's kill or be killed.

Green Apples vs. Glory Box

Green Apples vs. Glory Box by batesandcooper featuring juicy couture jewelry

A silky printed top, bouclé jacket, pleated skirt, mesh leather pumps and a crinkled clutch make this girly outfit the ultimate culmination of texture. Warning: this outfit may attract kids, tripping hippies, perverts and those who like to touch everything.
