When you start seeing back to school sales, you know that fall is not far behind. If you have started shopping for your fall wardrobe and you want to be in with the runway fashion trends you definitely need to look for items that are hot pink. Now, you may be questioning, hot pink for fall? When you usually think of fall, you think of more subtle and neutral colors, but for whatever reason the runways were full of hot pink colors for the fall 2009 season.

You should not be afraid of the hot pink fashion trend. You really can wear hot pink and pull it off, as it can look good on all skin tones. When you think of hot pink, you may be thinking of the 80's neon pink shirts and leggings that you used to have. That is your first problem, the hot pink colors of today are much more sophisticated and glamorous than the neon pink of the 80's. If you are still hesitant about wearing hot pink, then try out the trend with smaller accessories first. A hot pink accented bracelet may be your first item and then you can work your way up to a pink handbag or hot pink shoes. A hot pink handbag and shoes go awesome with a little black dress for the fall.

If you are more daring and really want to get into this fall fashion trend, then try a pink jacket, dress, or a blouse. Celebrities are already getting into the hot pink trend as Heidi Klum was seen wearing a hot pink suit (before she was pregnant) and Blake Lively just recently wore a hot pink strapless dress to an award event this month.

When you do wear a hot pink dress or even a coat, remember to keep the rest of your look simple. This means your makeup should be simple and natural and your jewelry should be classic and not clash with your outfit.

Go for bold this fall and think pink when shopping!

From the Runway to Your Closet: Wear more Yellow

Yellow, yellow, and more yellow. The color yellow was all over the runways for this summer. Designers such as Roberto Cavalli, Diane Von Furstenberg, and Calvin Klein, had yellow dresses, blouses, skirts, scarves, hats, shoes, and handbags. Just about anything you can wear or carry with you came in the color yellow. Most of the designers opted for the bright yellow, but others took it a little softer with more of a paler yellow. You may be thinking that this is one fashion trend that you want to stay far away from, but done in the right way, yellow can be fabulous.

When you look at the runway fashions, they had bright yellow pieces that were a vivid yellow and not a neon yellow. Avoid neon yellow colors so that you don't look like you arrived from the 80's or you came from the local construction site wearing your safety gear. Gold tones and lemon colored pieces are a good choice as well. There are also certain colors that yellow should not be paired with. If you choose to pair your yellow with black, be sure that it is done in a sophisticated way or else you may end up looking like a bumblebee. Pair yellow with purple, gray, navy blue, and white. Think about steering clear of pairing yellow with pink or tan.

It is rather easy to take this runway fashion trend and apply it to your real-life wardrobe. If you are not sure about the color yellow, then start off small with a pair of yellow sandals. They can add a pop of color to your outfit without being too out there.

If you feel more daring then go for the yellow dress or the yellow blouse with trousers or a skirt. Yellow clothing can be casual or more formal. A plain yellow t-shirt can look great with a pair of boot cut jeans for a day of shopping.

The key to wearing yellow is to find the right shade that matches your skin tone and hair and that you can feel confident in. Some women may like more of the gold tones while other women want the vivid lemon color.

From the Runway to Your Closet: Asymmetrical Lines

Jun 25, 2009 by Tiffany B

One of the popular fashion trends that has been appearing on the runways are asymmetrical lines. Asymmetrical lines are basically any type of hem on a piece of clothing that is not the same as another part of the clothing. It could be a dress that falls longer on the one side or it could be a blouse that only has a strap on one shoulder. These types of clothing pieces have been seen on the fashion runways of Roberto Cavalli, Robert Rodriguez, and Vivienne Westwood to just name a couple of designers.

The runway fashion trend of asymmetrical lines is not strictly for the runway and model-type women. This fashion trend is actually a very wearable trend for all women. Having an asymmetrical hem on a shirt or dress may actually draw attention away from the waist and focus it on nicely toned arms or long legs.

An asymmetrical line can easily take an otherwise plain dress and turn into a show-stopping dramatic dress. It gives it the added touch to make it look more interesting, which can make you look more interesting. A one-shouldered blouse can easily be paired with a skirt or a pair of jeans and you can take it out for a night on the town, without showing too much skin.

It is actually rather easy to find pieces of clothing with asymmetrical lines as the fashion trend has also become a hit with the every-day average woman. If you want a cute, but still hot blouse to wear out for a night on the town in summer, try a one-shouldered blouse with a print, such as this one by Just Cavalli. If you are looking for more of a formal dress for a wedding or a fancy date night with your man, then consider a dress like this one from Vivienne Westwood . They are both easy and wearable styles that add drama and intrigue to your outfit.

Asymmetrical lines is a fashion trend that you are going to be seeing a lot of this summer.
