The Key Fall' 09 Pieces

FALL IS HERE. Check out fabulous Fall trends you need on your style radar - the key pieces you can't live without.
.
Cozy knits, biker jackets, 80s get ready for fall with these fashion must-haves.

Cardigans

A timeless piece that will always be chic and classic sauntered on down - Cardigan. Cardigans have been around for ages, and they will no doubt be around for several more. This classy and one of the most versatile garments is this Fall's key trend. Credit it to Coco Chanel (launch of movie Coco Before Chanel) or First Lady Michelle Obama (its more of First Lady's contribution as she sports one at almost every occassion), cardigan's have become a rage.

Fall and Autumn/Winter 2009 runways were flooded with this staple in every colour and style. From the trendiest to the most sophiticated label, everyone had their version of the Cardigan - Etro, Vivienne Westwood, Chanel, Etro, Dolce and Gabbana, Blumarine, Moschino.
.
This seson's cardigans are not just in basic blacks and greys, they are hued in all shades bright, brightened with embellishments and given detailings like sharp shoulders, ruffles, gatherings, military style.

How to wear it?

Its versatality allows you to slip it over/under everything - wear it over a dress, under a jacket, with a tee. Wear it effortlessly as much with casuals as with formals (like Michelle Obama, Julia Roberts and Jessica Alba). Just play around with it as much as you can.
.

.
A partially buttoned cardigan combined with equally soft pieces can look effortlessly casual. Leave it open like Julia Roberts or accessorise it with a cinch belt (like Etro), any way you wear it, this stylish sweater will go well with every ensemble and style.

Wear it long or wear it short. It's a great way to add a layer to a shift dress to keep you warm, and it goes well with tights, denim, boots, flats and even heels.

They are my wardrobe staple and can't just ever have them enough.


Biker Jackets

.
Runways were packed with biker jackets - the season's quintessential jacket. This is the season's top must have, and also the designers favourite. Seen on the runways of Stella McCartney, Gucci, Balmain, Jean Paul Gaultier, Blumarine, Chloe, Alexander Wang, Phi and many more.

This trend has had its comeback so many times already, they were huge hit last year, but this season's biker jacket is slightly edgier.

This key piece is easy to update any look. A white t-shirt, black skinny jeans and that rugged biker jacket would do the trick!

How to wear it?

Keep it short or replace your regular winter coat with tough chic style. The runways featured them with everything from leggings to gowns.

This season's new twist to your jacket is giving them armholes that are cut high. So you may want to simply toss it over that drapey cocktail dress like a stole.

Accentuate your femininity by playing with traditionally masculine styles. Put on a biker jacket over a feminine, flirty dress and team it with knee-high boots for a rock chic style.

The easiest and smartest way to wear them is over a shirt and a tank. The black military jacket gives your denim a lot of attitude, but for the 9 to 5 wear it with white trousers to give it a feminine feel.

.
Audrey Tautou, the French Actress who starred in the movie The Da Vinci Code, looks effortless chic at the Coco Avant Chanel Rome Premiere in her demure navy, black and white cutout dress. The silhouette of her dress looks very classy yet modern evoking innocence and youth. The black belt tied on her small waist looks absolutely gorgeous. Love her style. This French lady is also the new face of the iconic Chanel No. 5 Perfume.
.
Isn't she looking much younger and fresh post The Da Vinci Code? Pretty and Lovely comes to my mind looking at her recent pictures. I even liked her in the Vinci movie, and her accent was so cute. What say?

Camilla Belle

.
Camilla Belle, the 22-year old American Actress who starred in the movie 10,000 BC, looked absolutely stunning and chic in a white polka-dot minidress at the luncheon of recently opened Gucci store in Sao Paulo, Brazil. The stylish actress was head-to-toe clad in Gucci for the brand's launch. She cinched the waist of her chic dress with a wide patent belt, paired it with a matching black python clutch, accessorised it with Gucci black PVD twirl watch with black diamonds and added a pop of colour to her black and white ensemble with cherry-red Sofia pumps fom Gucci's Cruise 2009 Collection. Her look reminds me of Demi Moore in polka dot (navy) dress matched with red pumps atBerlin Film Festival, click here to view pictures.
.
Polka dots are hot this season. They are so girly, flirty and perfect choice for spring/summer. I am absolutely loving the way Camilla has pulled the look together. You like? Leave you comments.

Later in the evening, she changed in a dazzling aqua-beaded cowl-neck blouse with embellished skirt (again all Gucci). This look is the same a presented on the runay from Gucci Fall 2009 Collection minus the shoes. Though I don't care for the dress much, esp the skirt, but Camilla is looking absolutely stunning.
.
This girl seems to be a Gucci fan, she even wore Gucci at the premiere of her movie 10,000 B.C. Well, if I were to choose the brand ambassador for Gucci, Camill Belle would be my first choice.

Julia Roberts - The Pretty Woman

This pretty woman is looking absolutely stunning in this chic white cocktail sheath by Dolce and Gabbana, which she topped off with a classic black cardigan (from D&G). Her tussled blonde locks and soft understated makeup adds style and chic to her look. I totally love this gorgeous lady and love her movies too.

Victoria Beckham - The Classic Look

.

Victoria Beckham catching a Flight at Heathrow, London

.
Talking of chic and not mentioning Victoria Beckham would be a shame. Victoria Beckham, the 35 years old fashionista, is famous for her chic and classy style. The lady is always immaculately dressed, even if she's just coming out from a long haul flight. In the above picure (photographed at Heathrow International Airport) she is dressed to her best in a pair of skinny jeans, a black V-neck blouse, a chic black jacket with emphasized shoulders and her favourite Hermes Bag.
.

Victoria Beckham is one loyal Hermes customer, she loves all things Hermes and Hermes bags are her fav for travelling. She is rarely not spotted in Hermes while travelling. I’ve always agreed that a handbag completes the outfit, and Victoria’s choice in bags does this well.
If you would notice the picture closely, you'll see that Posh was wearing flats inside the Heathrow Airport while coming out of the terminal, but while getting out from the airport she switched to a pair of stilettos. Well the lady has some fetish for stilettos.

.

Victoria Beckham at LA International Airport

.
Another airport look of Victoria Beckham at LAX, Los Angeles International Airport. She's looking impeccable as ever in the black satin tunic paired with black tights, YSL pumps, an oversized bag (am surprised this time its not Hermes) and a gold Rolex Watch.

.
I really like her style - classy and chic, something that never goes out of fashion. Black is her favourite pick, mine too. You can almost never go wrong with Black.
'Victoria on what it takes to look fabulous like her: "Whether you've got £20 to spend in Top Shop or £2,000 to spend at Gucci, looking good isn't about money, it's about style - and style never goes out of fashion." ' (Source).

.

Check out more pictures of Posh, dressed up for the airport. One thing common in all her Airport Ensembles, below, is chic and impeccability.

.

(I had been thinking of writing a post on how to dress for the airport/travel in style, but for now we'll do with the below pictures of Posh)
