Wearing: sunglasses / green statement earrings / black sparkling puff sleeve top / gemstone bracelets (local designer under $50) / gold bead bracelet (use code BayArea15 site-wide to save 15% off) / green metallic nail polish / mini gold clutch / self-tie faux leather pants / chain detail black boots /

Ah, the pants! If you are a fan of the Real Housewives of Beverly Hills, you know about these pants! While they aren’t the exact brand worn by Crystal, they are the closest pair I have found. I absolutely adore these pants! They are fairly thick, so these faux leather pants are warmer than jeans during the colder months. They are also as comfortable as pajama pants, so I find myself reaching for them often. It is possible I could have gone down one size. With my new weight, I am still figuring out my sizes.

How fun is this sparkling black top! I wish you could see how sparkly it is in real life. These photos do not do it justice. If you want a fun top this holiday season, pick up one of these! I also have one in red, and they have other colors available too! This top is also a great way to make jeans festive. Love that!

OK, I know I have a lot of Mansur Gavriel fans here with me! If you love their cloud clutch, this is the mini. I wanted to jump on the gold handbag trend, but didn’t want anything too bold. This mini size is a great way to be understated, yet still rock the gold bag trend. I have to say, it is very mini. I need to switch to my small travel wallet, and my iPhone does not fit inside. My full review will hit the blog tomorrow. If you want to pick up a small, gold clutch, but need to fit your phone inside, I recommend going with the middle sized cloud, which can be found here.

Have you ever had an outfit inspired by a TV show? More specifically, have you ever designed an outfit around a piece you saw on the Real Housewives? This outfit is exactly that! haha

Well, this is my version of a little-black-dress for the holiday season. I can wear this outfit for dinner, to the theater, and to a party. It’s dressy enough for holiday festivities, yet feels like a comfortable pair of pajamas. haha, love that!

Thanks for stopping by!

New York Fashion Week color trends for fall 2020

Cho Cheng fall/winter 2020/21 New York Fashion Week

Pantone has released the top ten colors, and top four neutral hues, for the fall/winter 2020/21 season straight from the runways of New York! They are vivid, happy, and uplifting. Three cheers for a bright fall season!

The fall/winter 2020/21 season is returning to simplicity. As trends move towards a more sustainable fashion industry, and consumers look to a more minimalist lifestyle, the color trends for the fall season have moved towards simple, common hues which you could easily find in the least expensive crayon box.

While brighter hues may not instantly scream “minimal” to you, they are being simplistic through their uncomplicated pigmentation, and easy-to-identify shades. This is a clean, and easy, color palette to incorporate into any wardrobe. You may even find you already own many of these colors! Love that!

While not listed as a top ten color, fuschia and bright pink were also spotted frequently on the runways for the fall/winter 2020/21 season at New York Fashion Week. Designers such as Cho Cheng, Ulla Johnson, and Self-Portrait, showed this happy and bright hue in their collections.

Without further ado, here are a few examples of the top colors on the runways of New York! I included the bright pink, because I kind-of love it!!
