Mary Janes are a hot trend in shoes for the fall 2015 season. This school-girl shoe style was spotted on the runways in New York, Milan, Paris, and London for autumn 2015, and it has taken over store shelves for fall!

The Mary Jane is a classic shoe style. Chances are you owned a pair as a child, and perhaps a pair or two as an adult. You may recall when Sarah Jessica Parker once referenced a popular pair of Mary Janes as her character “Carrie” on famed television show “Sex and the City;” “Manolo Blahnik Mary Janes! I thought these were an urban legend!” This was in reference to then IT shoe, the Manolo Blahnik Mary Janes; now considered a classic closet staple.

If you own a pair of Manolo Blahnik Mary Janes, you have a head start on the fall 2015 season! If not, and you are seeking the IT shoe du jour, look no further than this one by Prada. It has been flying off store shelves; especially in black!

Mary Janes for fall 2015 are being shown in various styles. There are block heels, stiletto heels, skinny heels, low heels, high heels; even no heels! You are sure to find the heel you love on a pair of fall 2015 Mary Jane shoes.

The color palette for Mary Janes this season includes classic black, silver, shades of pink, shades of red, and color blocking. Fabrications include suede, patent leather, faux leather, and regular leather.

The Mary Jane is being worn with flare jeans (high heeled of course), midi skirts, and a-line mini skirts. The block heeled version of the Mary Jane compliments the current 70’s trend we are seeing in fall fashion.

I have invested in two pairs of Mary Janes for the fall season. I will be packing them in my suitcase for my upcoming trip to New York for fashion week. This red pair, and this black pair.

The Mary Jane is a comfortable shoe style for walking and standing. I have found the ankle strap holds the shoe in place, and the block heels offer sturdiness, which lends itself well to walking, and standing, for long periods of time. They are a great alternative to traditional pumps!

I found a few fabulous Mary Janes for the fall 2015 season around the web and assembled them into the shopping widget below. I hope you love them! Happy shopping, and stay fabulous 😉

Button front skirts for fall 2015.

Button front skirts are a huge trend this fall 2015 season. The button front skirt has been spotted everywhere for the upcoming autumn season; from the runways to the streets, it is the IT skirt of the season.

Whether you prefer mini skirts, midi skirts, or maxi skirt, there is a button front skirt this season for you. The button front skirt is being shown in all three lengths; with suede and denim as the most popular fabrications.

Button front skirts are a fabulous fall trend. They are casual in nature, making them a fabulous alternative to jeans or cords. Love that!

With the 1970’s trend in full swing for fall, button front skirts are taking center stage as the ultimate skirt to own. The button front skirt was a huge trend in the 1970’s, making it fit perfectly into the season.

Button front skirts can be worn with sandals, thick heeled sandals or pumps, booties, and knee boots. They can also be paired with body conscious sweaters or knits, ponchos, secretary blouses, tees, and casual blouses. These combinations make button front skirts perfect for both weekends and casual office environments. Love it!

I absolutely adore the button front skirt trend. I remember my Mom wearing a brown suede, button front skirt when I was a small child. I always liked how it looked on her, but the trend never returned after the late 1970’s. Now that it is finally back, I cannot wait to wear it!

This fall season I have already picked up a navy suede, button front midi skirt (similar here) and this beige suede, button front skirt. I also have my eyes on this denim, button front skirt. Now, I need to find a fabulous pair of boots to wear with them!

Jacket and coat alternative for fall 2015 by Bay Area Fashionista

Fall is almost here, this means it is time to think about how to stay warm! Capes, wraps, shawls, and ruana’s are a few of fall 2015’s hottest ways to keep cozy instead of wearing a traditional jacket or coat. Love this trend!

With the 1970’s trend in full swing this autumn, capes, wraps, shawls, and ruana’s are the perfect way to achieve the ultimate 70’s silhouette while staying warm. Love that!

They are also fabulous when fall hands us in-between weather. Sometimes autumn days can be cold enough to wrap up, but not cold enough for a wool jacket or coat. Capes, shawls, wraps, and ruana’s are perfect for those days! They are also fabulous for when the fog rolls in 😉

I love wearing a cape, shawl, wrap, or ruana on a mild, fall day. They are the perfect way to keep warm when the weather hovers in the 50’s through low 70’s on autumn days. 

This fall, I am excited to wear my new ruana. This ruana is lightweight, yet cozy. It will be perfect to throw over jeans, casual skirts, and casual slim dresses this fall; especially when the fog rolls in!

A cape would be perfect this fall for dressier days. I am in love with this rain cape by Maxstudio, and also this classic black cape by Classiques Entier. I would also love to add this casual black cape by Topshop to my fall wardrobe. It is under $100!
