Fall fashion brings funky prints, big names

It's almost that time of year again-the time we bid adieu to our beloved five-inch wedges in exchange for platform loafers and all the boots our hearts desire.

I'm sure many of you are overwhelmed by all the new trends out there; luckily, you have me to guide you on your fall fashion transformation.

Let's start with a major trend for the season: snakeskin. Whether you pair a little black dress with a snakeskin clutch trimmed in metallic or a sheer black blouse and winter-white wide leg dress pants with snakeskin platforms (in colder weather), you will be able to go straight from the office to a fabulous night out on the town.

Staying in the animal family, another must-have print for the fall is cheetah. If you are a true fashionista or fashionisto , take the opportunity to pair your cheetah print dress, top or accessory with a red coat. That'll be like killing two fashion birds with one gemstone!

For pictures of how to wear cheetah and snakeskin, look at pictures of the Kardashians , especially their new clothing line for Sears. It is overflowing with fabulous finds.

To feel like a true duchess, steal a tip from Kate Middleton and look for a lace dress in shades of berry or navy to give a classic look some modern flair.

Fall fashion is all about having fun and the combinations of looks are truly endless. Take a trip back to the ‘70s in a jumpsuit and platforms with layers of chunky gold jewelry and oversized sunglasses in tortoise shell.

If you haven't already heard, the collaborations going on right now between designers and certain department stores are to die for. One of the most exciting is Missoni for Target, made available online and in stores on Tuesday. Before long, Target's website crashed multiple times and the merchandise flew off the shelves just minutes after becoming available.

I have to take this time to thank the fashion gods who were with me yesterday, as I was able to magically get on Target's website amidst the crashes and buy as much as I could from the collection-a true fashion miracle.

While Missoni can be found at Target, Karl Lagerfeld is residing at Macy's with a line of Coco Chanel-inspired looks. If you only buy one thing from Lagerfeld's collection at Macy's, you need to make it the T-shirt emblazoned with his image. T-shirts are a staple piece for everyone, so you have no excuse to pass on this timeless jewel.

Now that you have taken my Fashion 101 course, I will leave you with my two must-have accessories for the fall: a round-rimmed floppy hat and red lipstick. Happy fall fashion!
