I believe fall is fashion’s favorite season. The fabrics, the layers, the new collections, the coziness of it all! This month, say “goodbye” to your shorts and flips and say “hello gorgeous” to autumn’s most tempting trends.

This month we say “hello gorgeous” to autumn’s most tempting trends.

When it comes to your “must-have bag” this season, splurgea little, but stick with the classics-only a little kicked up.Coach has just introduced its new “Legacy Collection” that combines70 years of classic design with bold, beautiful colors to produce ashowstopping effect.

Here are a few of my faves available from Coach stores and coach.com.

Note: If you’re going to splurge on a new fall handbag,stick with classic shapes and colors that will stay “on trend” foryears to come. These fit that bill.


Playful pants

Fall 2012 is the season of the bold bottoms. Nab a pair offloral, metallic, animal print or richly colored britches and letyourself PLAY!

Don’t be afraid of these beautifully subtle metallic denims,from one of my new favorite denim brands “Liverpool Jeans Company.”Their line is inspired by the music of the Beatles and the pocketsare lined with song lyrics. How fun is that? $79, Nordstrom
