Shopping for Fall

There are so many new and exciting trends for fall! I am eagerly waiting for the weather to catch up and cool down!  Instead of posting what pieces to buy monthly, I am just going to have my camera with me everytime I go shopping and update you on whats new at each store throughout the season.  There are way to many looks to include in one post, so this way I am breaking them up in multiple posts! cool?  Ok, so here goes my first trip out to the shops to gear up for fall and what trends I saw represented. (BONUS: I saw a lot of these “fall” trends being recycled and reinvented for spring at the New York Fashion Week Spring 2010 shows this past week, so atleast you know you can wear a lot of these pieces for more than one season!)
