Of course Barbie is a supermodel! Wasn't she the first? Moschino brought out 55 human Barbies who all sported the signature long locks of hair and bubble gum pink, lots and lots of pink clothing. Jeremy Scott outdid himself with this one, especially with the closing gowns. They were as fantastic as they were ridiculous. View Collection:

As summer simmers down and fall takes its turn, misguided fashionistas everywhere are ditching their colorful pastels and flirty frocks for neutral hues and dark layers. You may have to let go of your bikini and golden tan once the seasons change, but don't you dare turn away from color this fall. Here are six ways to go bold and bright with an autumn twist.
Congratulations to me: Starting a new job is like the first day of school. It's nerve-racking yet exciting, and it's the perfect excuse to buy new clothes. To really make a statement on the first day, a professional gal needs a brand-new designer tote bag. Yes, designer, because you deserve to indulge in luxury as a reward to yourself. A leather Coach tote in loganberry or purple iris will colorfully complement your fresh fall wardrobe and stylishly carry your tablet, Moleskine notebook and backup beauty supplies.
Fall streetwear: Trade in summer's high wedges and slingback flat sandals for booties in hot autumn hues like rust, teal, olive or mustard. Ankle booties are a versatile fashion piece that can be totally casual or très chic. Pair crimson-colored booties with leather skinnies and a noir blazer to create a sultry look for late-night drinks. Meeting up with girlfriends for a Saturday lunch? Accent rolled slouchy boyfriend jeans and an oversized sweater with striking cobalt booties.
Alfresco affair: Every girl deserves to shine every now and again, but birthdays only come once a year. If you're in the mood to be in the spotlight, play hostess as the star of your own party. Turn your event into an intimate outdoor soiree, like a backyard bohemian garden get-together or rooftop dinner party. Since you're the leading lady, you'll need to don a knockout outfit. Bright print mashups and bold colors are de rigueur, even post-summertime. Throw on tights and either knee-high or combat boots to autumn-ize the look.
Be fierce: 'Tis the season to eat, drink and sleep pumpkin everything, so why not incorporate pumpkin into your eye makeup? Stylist Janice Daoud tells TotalBeauty.com that orange-based eye shadow can make blue eyes pop and accentuate brown eyes, too. Daoud recommends creamsicle shades for fair skin tones, coral hues for medium skin tones and bright tangerine for darker skin tones. Neutralize the rest of the face with nude colors, and make sure the colors of your clothes and accessories don't compete, either.
Change with the season: Enhance your hair color to match the changing colors of the fall foliage. Marie Claire featured Jessica Biel's honey-toned locks and Olivia Palermo's glossy mahogany mane. For a more subtle change, warm yellow-blonde hair with golden highlights or color brunette layers with a rich rustic red. A sassy new 'do will make you feel like an audacious beauty who isn't afraid to take risks.
Casual glam: Even fashionistas like to kick it casual and keep it comfy. Look super cute while keeping it low key by wearing a striped three-length tee or classic houndstooth sweater. Don't hesitate to mix and match stripes and houndstooth patterns with floral prints, either. Any true fashionista knows that rules are meant to be broken.

Ladies you may want to skip church this morning and worship at Target stores instead. The CFDA Womenswear Designer of the Year winner, Joseph Altuzarra created an absolutely amazing collection for Target which hits stores today, September 14th, as well as Target.com and Net-a-Porter - just incase crowds ain't you're thing. The Altuzarra collections offers so much variety: dresses, coats, suits, separates and accessories - to include fabulous shoes. This collection is so chic. It's all style and it looks expensive though nothing is over $100! There are some very smart numbers for the work place that will take you into night. Smart & Sexy & Sophisticated. Historically, designer collections for Target have sold out quickly and I have a feeling so will Altuzarra's... take a look at some of my fave picks.

Has the sneaker replaced the stiletto? Well, not exactly, but this fashion season it surely has sprinted its way onto the fashion week runways. Most recently at Alexander Wang for Spring 2015. The collection was inspired by the inherent design attributes of the sneaker like mesh, leather and treading. Eye-popping patterns on body con dresses and high-waisted pants successfully blurred the lines between sport and high fashion. My obsession with the collection, which is what I am featuring here, is the sneaker bag! O-Em -Gee... These bags are amazing. Their style overrides their kitschy quality making these sneaker bags very chic and I predict they will become the must-have accessory for Spring. Take a look:

Thom Browne's garden was in full bloom for Spring 2015. There truly are no limits to the designer's genius. How can one individual contain so much in their head I don't know ... but keep them coming Thom! As usual, the looks are heavily layered and accessorized, but a closer inspection reveals something you don't always see in a Thom Browne show - wearability. Remove a coat and some of the facial gear and you're good to go. But leave the hats!

There's an undeniable allure about a lady in red. She has the power to stop traffic and turn heads. This sizzling number by Kate Spade at 310 Rosemont stopped me dead in my tracks when I visited the Virginia Highland boutique this weekend. Maybe it's the structured pleats or the dramatic bow that I find so appealing? Or maybe it's the open back which give this classic dress a modern edge? Either way, this holiday cocktail season, make RED the new LBD!
