Michael Kors RTW Spring 2012 Collection

For spring, Kors wants to bring a little of Singita Lodge life to his ladies, whether they book a trip or not. As he sees it, the inherent aesthetic offers the best of all worlds: a deep connection to nature but also comfort and modernity. Enter his parade of women and men, their casual glam inspired in part, as always, by Lauren Hutton and Peter Beard and, more recently, Brad and Angelina. They looked all set for adventure in earthen tones and easy silhouettes. Women who prefer not to restrict their wardrobes to gigantic prints and getups that riff on sports garb will appreciate such runway rarities as shirts, tank tops, Henleys and pants, all in gauzy weights or heftier fabrics washed and rumpled for comfort’s sake, and, for more flamboyant moments, floating georgette ponchos and caftans. Also impressive: the practical presentation of an artisanal sensibility in a fabulous coat and skirt worked in patchworks that played rugged off refined. Still, the models’ ready-for-real-life glamour proved too grounded. Even with shots of rusts and orangey reds, the prevailing palette looked drab, so that the occasional zebra-print sighting felt like a dose of graphic clarity. Kors’ ethos has always been to deliver practical chic with sex appeal and joy. This time, the trip hit some bumps that tempered the joy. The men’s collection was better suited for a South African adventure. Linen ruled, in utility shirts paired with monochromatic cargo pants and hand-dyed scarves. The unconstructed suits, lightweight summer parkas and washed leathers helped the once-Madison Avenue man look elegantly at ease. (WWD.com, Michael Kors) Photographer Giovanni Giannoni

Mixing Patterns

This is one of my favorite lazy day, no hassle outfits. Within every girl's fashion life span, there are bound to be at least a few days where you just want to roll out of bed and throw on something comfy and cozy, while still looking chic and put together. This outfit includes all of the must haves for any woman's closet, and shows a fun way to mix up our favorite patterns: plaid, stripes, polka dots, and most of all, sequins. What I love about this outfit its versatility. If you're someone who doesn't like mixing bold patterns, you can take off the accessories to get to the basics: a comfy striped sweater, jeans, and a pair of Chuck Taylors. Personally, I'm all about the details and love mixing textures, patterns, or throwing in an unexpected color into my outfits. The bold stripes on the sweater go perfectly with the more subdued plaid on the scarf, and the polka dotted socks are a cute, unexpected detail. Pulling together the outfit are the sequined Chuck Taylors that I'm dying for. Top it off with this lovely mustard bag, gold studs, your favorite pair of glasses and a cute ring that adds another little pop of color.

And to top it all off, everything in this outfit is $100 or less. Can't argue with that!

Le Geek, C'est Chic

This fall, don't be afraid to unleash your inner nerd! I never thought I'd actually be saying this, but backpacks have made a comeback. I repeat - backpacks have made a comeback. Nerd inspired outfits have become a huge hit. Pair a simple, structured pant with a patterned or striped top and your favorite pair of glasses. Top off the look with a statement watch, oxfords and of course - an ultra slouchy and chic backpack. This army green one from Urban Outfitters is definitely a must have.

Hint of Sparkle

Let's face it, what girl doesn't love rocking a little bit of sparkle every once in a while? Even if you are typically not an "out there" dresser, don't immediately shy away from a statement piece like the sequined top. Amp up your fall wardrobe with an embellished tee or jacket - these are huge this season. It doesn't have to be big and bold - remember, when it comes to embellishments, less is more. It's all about the detail. Right now I am loving this sequined top by Vince. Paired with every girl's must have: a statement watch, nude flats, aviators, and a big bag is a perfect way to dress down this statement piece. Dress it up by wearing the skinniest pair of black jeans you own paired with a patent heel and killer jewelry.

*While visiting my local H&M a few days prior, a sequined shirt caught my eye immediately - clearly influenced by the embellishment trend. If the Vince tee isn't in your budget, swap it with a sequined shirt from H&M - only $34.95...what a steal! And the Tory Burch flats can be swapped with Steve Madden flats that are only $59.95. Happy shopping :)

Meet Suzie

Hello ladies, my name is Suzie and I am a current student at FIDM in Los Angeles studying Merchandise Marketing. After being born and raised in LA, I wanted to change things up a bit. I spent one year at school in New York City, also known as the heart of the fashion world, and fell in love with everything it had to offer. Now that I'm back on the west coast (for the time being), I thought I'd bring back all of the knowledge and inspiration I acquired from NY to LA. Though both cities are completely different, each have unique and fun characteristics when it comes to trends and fashion ideas. Whether you're the type of girl to be typically seen sporting a fierce all-black NY ensemble, a laid back cali girl outfit, or anything in between, this blog will hopefully be of interest to you. Sherisse' and I created 'The Trendsetters' to offer you advice, ideas, our take on trends, current events, and knowledge about anything fashion oriented! Please don't hesitate to ask us for advice, requests for posts, help, or anything! Email at asksherisse.suzie@gmail.com. Keep checking back for weekly updates and new posts. Until then...

Winter Dinner Party

Winter/Christmas season has finally arrived! This look is great to start the season at a dinner party at a friend’s house or in your very own. It says sassy and confident. Blow everyone’s mind away, and walk and watch his or her jaws drop! Especially if you’re the host, you want to wear something that your guest will never forget. It’s a little high price wise, but we all know it will be worth every cent. If CHANEL isn’t in your budget range just swap it with some classic gold and black earrings. I promise the night will be unforgettable!
