In the real world, men and fashion do not usually go together. Manly men get as excited with fixing things around the house as Fashionistas get opening their latest issue of Vogue.

With neutrals dominating the runways and stores and drab, gray skies looming overhead, it’s invigorating to see a pop of color in what would otherwise be a simple outfit. Shoes, jewelry, and headwear are all ways to provide that much needed statement. But we’ve been there. We’ve done all that: shocking heels, eye-catching jewels, great headbands. So, Fashionistas, get ready. There’s a new statement piece in town.

I think every Fashionista gets excited when a new season finally rolls around. It gives us a chance to change up our look (and perhaps more importantly, an excuse to go shopping) in order to adapt to the new season. Unfortunately, 70 degree weather is the norm here in Southern California on a late October day.
