Summer-to-Fall: Four Trends to Try

I’ve been putting in my fair share of style hunting/inspiration hoarding on Pinterest this week — partially due to Fashion Week sneaking around the corner (as if I needed an excuse). In doing so, I remembered a slideshow I created on celebrity-inspired style for Glam.com that I haven’t yet shared with you.

With summer quickly fading into fall, it’s time to up the ante on your laid-back look. (I’m doing the same!) And who better to inspire than Hollywood’s A-list crowd?

Here’s four fashionable looks to refresh your summer style and carry it over into the new season:

celebrity, trends, hollywood, fashion, top, current

1. Angular Cuts: A leather cap and Zara culottes keep this look adventurous, yet on-point (ahem). / 2. A daring crop top: A crop-top adds gives edge to a printed pencil skirt and pointed-toe pumps. / 3. Double denim: Chambray and boyfriend-style cutt-offs? Always a “do” in my book. / 4. An all-back ensemble: Black-on-black looks chic and sleek — especially when completing the look with a functional carry-all and patent ankle booties.

Mood Board | August 2013

August is the month that starts getting me excited for fall. Football teams take the field for training, September issues hit newsstands, and my hair finally doesn’t look like a hot, sticky mess after a 20-minute walk to work. (Knock on wood!)

Most excitingly, Fashion Week planning is poised to embark. This is reason alone for why it’s crucial that I invest in a functional wardrobe of pieces that are simple and can be styled a number of ways. That, and you know I’m about that snooze button.

Here’s what’s inspiring me for the month:
