1. Hot Dog Colors: Ketchup red, Mustard Yellow, Relish Green, Onion White, and Hot Dog Brown seems to be big colors for Fall.

2. Brocade- Schedule a date with your curtains. This look is best with metallic accents in fabric. I saw a great brocade jacket, reminisce of something from Tracy Reese, on sale at Lord & Taylor for $50.00

3. Ethnic look- As someone who is of an ethnic group, I find this trend a little annoying. Dashikis are really not for everyone. Imagine if a whole bunch of size 2 fashionista's walking down your street wearing Dior Yarmulkes. You get picture. However, if you are going to go for this look, please, don't get braided extensions.

4. High/Low Fabric- Mix higher, more expensive fabrics like silk, brocade, cashmere, with study, cheaper fabrics like canvas and wools. Keep polyester hidden.

Along with chocolate and boot cut jeans, I hereby declare my love for Salvation Army. Sally, as I affectionately call my love, is perhaps best store to ever exist. Saks, my former love, has nothing on this store. Where else could you find a John Paul Gaultier shirt, from BERGDORF GOODMAN, for $1.50? Two months ago, I found two vintage Norma Kamali dresses, perfect condition, $2.50 a piece. When I gave them to my best friend ( they were a size 4), she was so excited that she started to shriek, hysterically, like she was possessed by some strange budget-shopping spirit. Later, she told me that sometimes she just likes to wear dresses around her apartment, because they make her feel special. This is power of Salvation Army.

There are many times that I head to Sally's as a fashion last resort. For example, this weekend I needed a cocktail dress to wear to a business function. I found a beautiful black dress from Salvation Army with black lace insets for $5.00. I added a silver leather belt from GAP, a pair of silver flats from NineWest Outlet and a pair of silver square clip on earrings from Nordstrom Rack- for a completely stunning outfit. Totaly cost- $48.00.
