Esther's Essentials: NEWSLETTER: FALL PREVIEW

Care to join me for a spot of tea? I'll fill you in on what's new in the world of Fashion and Interior Design for the upcoming Fall season.

Suit, blouse and handbag Chanel. Shoes, Casadei

FASHION:

Collaboration Alert! I'm really excited about this one, Altuzarra for Target. If you haven't already seen the collection take a look below. Clothing priced from $18-$90, shoes and accessories $30-$80. Available September 14th.

TRENDING:
In knitwear it's all about beefy sweaters, scarves, skirts, pants and dresses. Fur in all forms, shearlings too play a major part in this upcoming Fall/Winter season with smart vest, jackets, coats, and accessories too. Normcore ("fashion's Anti-Fashion fashion trend") is understated, clean, and anonymous fashion. And the 1960's are revisited with A-line silhouettes, graphic prints, lower-heeled boots and mod looks.

Topshop

Footwear: Trainers/sneakers are still the comfortable way to navigate through a day; while stiletto heels take a back seat to lower chunky-heeled boots such as these fringed beauties.

but the correct brow is everything! Full brows are de rigueur so if you've over tweezed, plucked, or waxed yours no need to worry there are countless of brow-enhancing techniques on the market to come to the rescue. There are cosmetics such as pencils, gels, putties and creams to help, and for a more permanent result there are even brow transplants! Oh my!

INTERIOR DESIGN:

The Almanac says it will be a very cold winter! So why not incorporate a bit of luxurious fur whether real or faux into your interiors space. From the living room to the bedroom here are some ideas to cozy up to.
