September on INSTAGRAM

I can't believe how quickly September flew by! Between music festivals, and of course, all the fashion weeks, it's certainly been a whirlwind. Oh, and somewhere in there, we also said hasta luego to Summer and bienvenido to Fall. 

Here are some of my favorites from this month on Instagram. Make sure to follow me @dejafashion to see more!

Which one is your favorite?

Army of Me

I love camo, and was so excited to see all the military inspired pieces that graced the Fall/Winter runways. My camo inspiration:

Army of me:

Fitted, New Era 59Fifty
Military Jacket, Miss Sixty
Boots, DorCelli

Ombré over?

I don't think so. Not quite yet. The trend that first started making an appearance on the runway a few seasons back, was still prevalent on the Fall 2012 Couture runways, demonstrating that the shaded look is still going strong. 


Here's how I worked the ombré details...

Ombré scarf, Esprit
Mesh shirt, ZARA
Shorts, Mossimo
Shoes, ZARA
Purse, Accessorize

The trend dominated Matthew Williamson and Prabal Gurung's collections back in February 2011, with the ombré fluffers making quite the statement:

Prabal Gurung, Matthew Williamson

Here is another favorite of mine, reminds me of a berry creamsicle!

Atelier Versace Spring/Summer 2011, Cake by Maggie Austin

But more recently, we saw the look on the Resort 2013 runways:

Missoni, Alberta Ferretti

And even more recently at the Fall 2012 Couture shows:

Chanel, Givenchy, Giorgio Armani Privé

Whether it's in hair, nails, or fashion, I think the ombré influence is here to stay, at least for a little bit longer. 

DRANTS; Dresses-over-pants

Together or separate, you decide what works for you, but the drant (or dress-over-pant) is not going away any time soon. 
We saw these back in February 2012 at New York Fashion Week:

Helmut Lang, Rag and Bone, Rebecca Taylor

Then again on the Resort 2013 runways:

BCBG, Louis Vuitton, Roksanda Ilincic

So it should come as no surprise that the dresses over pants made yet another appearance on the Fall 2012 Couture runway. With the long anticipated collection from Raf Simons, Christian Dior's Fall 2012 Couture show in Paris certainly showcased elements of the trend:

Still not convinced? Think of it as a long tunic over leggings or pants. 

So what will it be for you; together or separate?
