"Fall" in Love With Fashion...All Over Again
Fashion trends for Fall 2004
by Christen Ellis
As much as we have all tried to deny it, the Fall season is quickly approaching. We will soon have to retire the flirty dresses and skimpy bathing suits that we have coveted for months. Do not fret too much though. Find yourself a copy of Vogue, W, or Shop Etc., and you will see fall lines that will make you wish the leaves would turn.
Because this season is all about luxury and glamour. Fur (make sure it's fake!), rich earthy tones, and tweeds are showing up on every runway and magazine layout across the nation, and around the world. Dolce & Gabbana has presented a wonderful line of suits this season, classically cut with their signature style of spunky meets sophisticated. Also, Ralph Lauren has beautifully incorporated tweed, fur, and the pencil hemmed skirt for their line.
Now think back to movie star glamour of days gone by. Glitzy jewelry, luxuriously woven scarves (Hermes is ALWAYS a classic when it comes to scarves), and a whole new line of "it" bags will make accessories and accessorizing BIG this season. Speaking of accessories, shoes continue to have the feminine allure of the stilleto. The skinny heel is here to stay, but the 
toes has become more rounded.
My favorite pick for this season is Louis Vuitton's Pleated 4" Heel. Which color? You pick!
Those shoes alone, are enough to make me want to put away my beach chair! Having said that, it's time to dust off your credit cards (if yours get dusty, i pray for your 'spending willpower'!) and start shopping!
This Fall season will be one of classic glamour and decadent sophistication.
