Five Fall Fundamentals

With Fall right around the corner it's time to start getting those trendy pieces for your wardrobe! These are five trends that I think are fundamentals for this fall!

1. STUDS-whether you prefer studded booties, or a stud-covered clutch, studs are the perfect accent to edge up an outfit! My favorite is this cozy sweater with shoulder studding from Neverfullydressed.co.uk
2. PRINTED DENIM-From florals and laces to dip-dye and polka dots, printed denim is definitely a must-have for fall. If you want to opt out for something that isn't necessarily an all-over pattern, but still be to a bold statement go for something like these AG aztec side-print leggings!
3. PEPLUMS-In all prints, patterns, and colors, peplums are the perfect trend for every occasion! Found on dresses and tops, peplums can be dressed up in silky fabrics or dressed down in a cotton tee! My favorite is this vegan-friendly peplum top from piperlime.com! 
4. BOOTIES-This fall booties are hotter than ever! Flat or with a heel, they are perfect with everything from jeans to dresses.  I love these tribal blanket booties by Steve Madden, available @ Dillards.

5. STATEMENT NECKLACES- I believe that accessories can make or break an outfit, and stocking up on statement necklaces can ensure to keep the same outfits fresh and different.  This bright colored sapphire bib necklace from Reddressboutique.com will be sure to make every outfit pop!
