The best season for fashion is probably fall. While each season brings its own pros & cons, fall is all about mixing & matching, layering and accessorizing. You can really make your boldest fashion statements during the fall. Even though fall is only going to be here for a little longer, these are 5 fall trends that are definitely worth following for the rest of the season.

I recently got to experience shopping online at eShakti , a place where you can customize your order to fit you . All of their products are available in sizes 0-36W. The process is really quite simple and can be summed up in 3 easy steps: Visit eShakti.com Shop your favorite pieces Customize your order I happen to be one of the fortunate few women who can generally wear pieces in standard sizes without a problem. However, at eShakti , you can customize your ready-to-wear pieces to fit whatever size you are (simply enter your measurements upon ordering).  I chose a polka dot pleated scoop neck top and ordered it in my size. It fit great and I was able to put together a fun outfit with it. The sash tie belt that came with the top is for the waist, however I created my own look with it (below) in addition to wearing it that way. I paired the top with some light wash skinny jeans and nude sandals. I chose a caramel colored handbag and some orange jew...

Where I live, the weather is starting to cool down. And even though my summer wardrobe is way cuter than my fall wardrobe, I'm actually looking forward to the weather change. I broke out my first long sleeved shirt of the season and did this "funky fall" look. I love how this shirt has bright colors on the front and a contrasting print on the back! Funky shirt + funky girl = balance out the funky with some basic jeans. I topped off this "funky fall" look with some zebra print flats and a pair of zebra print circular earrings. I thought that was enough jewelry (and zebra) for how much funky there was going on. Shirt: Tommy Hilfiger | Jeans: Ralph Lauren | Shoes: Kate Preston | Earrings: old (shop similar here )

I was recently at a live music festival in downtown Nashville and asked Tatiana about her outfit. I loved her fun bohemian style and her sparkly purse! Plus, she had a great smile and a willing spirit. Name:   Tatiana Where: Downtown Nashville Live on the Green music festival What are you doing out here today? Just hanging out, enjoying the beautiful day, music, good food. Do you live in the area? I do. What do you do? Are you in school? Do you work? I work with kids with special needs. What do you do exactly? I do language therapy for kids with Downs Syndrome and autism. That seems challenging but rewarding. Yeah, I love it. Tell me about your outfit. Do you know where you got it? I do. Ok, so this dress came from a random boutique in Florida, like in a beach town. This purse was actually a website find, from Stitch Fix . They just sent me it and I was like, that rocks! Random little ring from a random street artist in Santa Fe. ...

 Did you have a nice week, fashionistas? I did- and I discovered some awesome new blogs, products and contests, which I'm posting for today's FASHtastic Finds . I recently stumbled across Annabelle Fleur's fashion blog , VivaLuxury , and am now a big fan. And this week, one piece in particular from an outfit post really caught my eye. On her post titled "Fringe," I was drawn immediately to this MSGM fringe cotton tweed dress . I love how unique it is, and the pop of neon is so much fun! Plus, fringe is fabulous too. Another piece I came across this week is the Multicolored Faux Fur Waistcoast from Choies . I love the bright colors mixed with the neutrals, and of course faux fur is always fun! This fall find would look fabulous in any my closet. What's even more cool is that you can save 15% off at CHOIES and get free shipping worldwide when you enter coupon code 'Sep15aff' during checkout. How much fun would it be to play fashion d...

We've all heard of them. Those fashion "rules" that many consider a faux pas to break. However, most of these rules are not rules at all- they are merely suggestions, born from a fear of standing out and making a bold fashion statement. So if you're ready to brave up and break some rules of fashion, here are 5 fashion rules to break now . Don't Wear White After Labor Day If you Google "why can't you wear white after Labor Day?" you will find a lot of theories, but no definitive answer. That's because this rule was created so long ago, and for outdated reasons, that nobody really tries to find its origin. People think it is an important rule to follow, but don't even know why. So...wear white whenever you want! One great way to add some fun to a white ensemble is by adding pops of color with other pieces.   Don't Wear Socks With Sandals This rule I mostly agree with, however it applies more to men than to women. And it really...
