Fashion In Da Northwoods

One of my favorite times of the year is when the September issues of all the fashion magazines show up at my apartment. Fall fashion is my absolute favorite, so many things to add to my wishlist and not enough money to buy it all! Cozy knits, flannels, boots of all heights, and warm parkas are MUSTS!

This flannel jacket by BB Dakota is such a great way to keep warm during the chilly months and not too pricey! I would slip on a pair of gray or tan knit fingerless gloves to complete the look.

You could probably buy any boot in any color, size, any added detail, and you’d be right on trend. Boots are a necessity and we have the freedom to pick and choose our favorites this time around. I love a comfy brown riding boot like these:

Want a dressier style? This suede mid heel pair by Giuseppe Zanotti would look hott with a pair of dark skinny jeans tucked in or with a sexy dress or skirt.


Every girl needs and over-the-knee boot, high-heeled, flat, or one of each!


I have been obsessing over this parka by Free People for a week now since I first saw it:

I also love this one by Torn by Ronny Kobo. It’s the perfect piece to keep you warm and would look amazing with a pair of skinny green cargo pants, or skinny jeans and a pair of rugged boots!

A wool fedora is final touch to the stylish northwoods look!


The best designer EVER Marc Jacobs is totally hunter-esque for Fall as well as everything he has designed for the Louis Vuitton collection. I love this flannel Marc by Marc Jacobs shirt and this twill cargo dress. Add a little edge to the dress with a pair of lace-up combat boots!


Walk through the wildnerness with another season staple, the poncho. Opt for a hooded version, sweater or jacket and wear it with a straight let and tighter fit bottom to keep the silhouette well proportioned. This M Missoni hooded poncho jacket is my favorite:

Pretty, Pretty PRINTcess

I always look for fun prints when I’m shopping in a store or online because they make any outfit seem like there was more effort put into it than there really was; something that is ALWAYS a plus for the girl on the go! These complicated fabrics never seem to go away but are back in a huge way right now!

This different colored leopard print BCBG dress is a perfect cocktail dress or for a wedding reception!

A brand that I have really come to love and check-in on every time they come out with new pieces is Blu Moon. They have a feminine, yet boho take to everything they create which is what I LOVE! This dress is so easy to just throw on when you don’t have a lot of time but still want to look great:

Some of the new pieces in Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsens high-end fashion line, Elizabeth & James are starting to resemble Nicole Richie’s Winter Kate collection. (last two pictures below, Jasmine cardigan and Lily top by Winter Kate for comparison). I like these two pieces they have for Fall, but come on girls you have to think of your own designs.




Prints have even made their way into accessories; from shoes, to cuffs, and necklaces. I really like these tribal, yet gladiator looking thong sandals by Becca Moon.

And of course I love the new House of Harlow jewelry which is all about the tribal print!


I thought this earthy, rock inspired top by Helmut Lang was different and really liked the unique neckline. This could be worn casual or dressy, your choice!

Still want to romp around towards the end of Summer into the Fall season? You’re in luck; there are TONS of printed rompers out there to choose from!




Fred Boutique ALWAYS has something in a print be it a dress, top, romper, or accessories, you’ll will find something that catches your eye & at an AFFORDABLE price, holler!
