I always look forward to sitting down with my “stack” of September issues of my favorite fashion and lifestyle magazines. The September books are usually hundreds of pages thick and loaded with ads, but always filled with all that’s new or re-invented in fashion.

I’ve developed a bit of a ritual in September. I settle into my comfy chair with a pen, paper, and 1.5 readers (I can’t read the print without them, when did that happen?) -- I put my feet up on the ottoman, and I dive in. Thumbing through the pages, themes, trends and color stories start to take shape. This year, the color of “wine”, “biker chic”, “more animal print”, “suede”,  and “pointy-toe shoes” are visible in almost every publication.

So, what do I do next? I jot down the things I like, things that I think work for my style, and things that I might like to try. And then I keep my eye open for them throughout the season. It’s not an expensive proposition. Some seasons, I don’t add anything new. Other seasons, I add quite a few new pieces. The point is, fall might just be the most celebrated fashion season, but it should be fun. There’s no pressure to try a trend just because editors say so. It’s better to see what looks and feels good for you and go with it. And even if you have everything you need in your wardrobe, flipping through the pages of a glossy magazine to get your fall fashion fix -- that can be the most fun of all!

What have you added to your fall fashion wardrobe? 

See you tomorrow morning for AM Beauty and AM Style! 
Warm wishes,
