Trend: Gothic Black

We all know burgundy/oxblood is the new black this season.  But let's not forget about black as the classic, chic and sophisticated color we all can wear and this season's new take on it: Gothic.

Inside Emilio de la Morena's Design Studio

Last week I visited one of my favorite London Fashion Week catwalk designers Emilio de la Morena's design studio.  Filled with his signature colorful clothing and accessories (and my excitement!), I got a tangible sneak preview into the SS'13 collection.  "I wanted to make SS'13 easy-to-wear," Emilio told me.  Easy-to-wear and impeccably tailored, his collection reminded me of a modern take on Spanish flamenco dancers (see dresses above).  "I felt I wanted to bring back memories from the past," the designer originally from Spain said. Thank you Emilio for showing me your as beautiful as always new collection.

It is Fall

Casual sweater on top of sequins 

Layers to perfection and love the color combination of olive green, grey and off-white

Thick yummy leather jacket in a refreshing color

Easy, oversized, cozy cable neck sweater to pair with jeans and knee high boots and you are done

Camel coat paired with an exotic skin clutch (embossed or real, you get the effect)

With all the goodness of Spring/Summer 2013 Fashion Weeks still on the brain, I find it hard to remember these days that I need to be thinking about dressing for Fall!  I will be showcasing my favorite SS13 designer looks in the near future, but for now here are some of my favorite looks and style inspirations to get dressed now.

Trend: The Printed Blouse

I'm loving this dark printed blouse needed for any wardrobe to give that extra edge to the many basic blouses we already own!  Style with your favorite black leather pants or dark denim and you are ready for any occasion day or night.  I'm not one to over-accessorize and with a show-stopping top like this, I say less is more!  Find this gorgeous Stella McCartney blouse here.
