  • Fall Fashion Guide

    Everyone who is anyone is advising you what to wear this fall. And while we wouldn't dream of telling you how to dress, we've gathered up an at-a-glance guide to our favorite fall looks, more than a few of which are sure to inspire you.

    Look One: Femme Fatale

    Here's what you'll need: a high-waist pencil skirt, a ruffled blouse, red pumps and a zebra print bag. Oh, and attitude -- lots of it. Opt for a well-made skirt since this high-waist look will be a staple in your fall wardrobe; it's ideal paired with everything from silk blouses for work to sparkling tank tops for night and classic red pumps, of course. If ruffles seem hard to wear, pick a style that is super simple such as BCBG's delicate pima cotton ruffle tee ($68 at Nordstrom).

    Artizen's on-the-go Cordless Iron

    Lip Gloss? Got it. Cell phone? Got it. Cordless Flat Iron? Get it! No self-respecting style setter wants to be caught looking unkempt and thanks to Artizen founder Ernie Brauchli and his new Cordless Detail Iron, we can cross "bad hair days" off our calendars.

    The new cordless iron can be used anywhere to refresh hair styles. Thanks to a heat proof cover and pouch, the iron stows away in seconds, while a long life, built-in rechargeable lithium battery offers 60 minutes of use time. Plus, Artizen's worldwide charger for the car and home is included (just like a cell phone). And this baby heats up fast, reaching 400° in no time while staying safe for use on damp or dry hair.


    Fall's Accessory Must: Nikki Vain

    Trying to always keep up with trends, and still be unique, Lorie Mills and Mindy Sabo launched Chicago based company Nikki Vain Jewelry in early 2008.

    This brand-new line is playful yet edgy, for the woman who is the life of the party by night, and the brains in the boardroom by day. The collection serves up couture costume jewelry that calls upon bold colors and rich fabrics, think leather, ribbon, and suede accented with gold and silver charms.
