Some seasons you just hate everything that’s up for grabs — all the clothes seem designed in your worst colors, worst shapes … you get the idea.

Cozy cozy by KeturaP featuring Splendid tops

Then there are the times when it’s all … just … perfect. That’s how I feel about Fall 2010. That’s not to say that everything will look great on me. It won’t. (The blousy, asymmetrical knit tops are Exhibit A in my own personal What To Avoid.) But I really love most of it — the cozy cable knits, the very wearable leather, the lace, the velvet. And yet none of it too sweet — all of it designed with a certain toughness. I love that inner contradiction.

Of course, this is only one theme in this Fall’s trends. Want to learn more? I’ll be sending subscribers to my newsletter lots of guidance about the upcoming season, so if you don’t want to miss out, be sure to sign up for my email newsletter. In the meantime, here’s a look at what I’m dreaming off. Leave a comment and tell me what you think — and what’s on your wishlist right now.
