Fashion Notes by: Neiman Marcus's Stylist Alex Yanez:

It is such an exciting time for fashion right now!

For Fall, we are seeing some amazing trends. Animal magnetism is one of the major trends. Since I tend to think of leopard as a neutral, don't be afraid to mix different animal prints, especially when it comes to shoes, handbags, and even accessories (think cat-eye sunglasses). Leopard, zebra, and tiger prints all work harmoniously!

Biker chic is one of my favorite trends. The moto jacket goes over everything this Fall, from a ladylike dress or pencil skirt to leather leggings. The detail in a lot of shoes and handbags is spectacular this season - heavy hardware, chains, studs, and grommets galore give your wardrobe and instant "cool factor."

Boys Town is another huge trend for Fall. The key is taking elements of a men's wardrobe and incorporating them into your own wardrobe in a feminine way. It's more of a tomboy attitude reimagined in a girly nature. In the handbag world, think silhouettes like a structured tote, a messenger bag, or even a backpack. For your feet, its all all about a flat smoking slipper, a sneaker, or a motorcycle boot.

This Fall, Purple Reigns as the color of the season. Every shade of purple is current, from eggplant to violet - but mixing them together is the epitome of chic. Purple is in every collection, from ready-to-wear to shoes, handbags, and accessories. Purple looks especially chic when paired with red, the new neutral.

Two other big trends are the scaled-down handbag and the pointed toe. As fashion is cyclical, we are now seeing many forgo the large carry-on size bag in favor of a smaller silhouette. The pointed toe is everywhere for Fall and will continue to go forward seasons ahead. Whether it is on a classic single-soled pump, a flat smoking slipper, or a boot, the pointed toe is the most current of the footwear trends.

Make sure to see the Town Scoop at the very end....you heard it on the Social D first!

More Fashion Finds for Cheap... available at CVS, Mabelline Tattoo Makeup for eyeshadow...long wearing fun colors! And my surfing fave Mabelline Mascara.....it just does not come off.

And For a Good Healthy Tip - And as good health becomes more and more your most important wealth.... Chia Seeds... get them at any health store...we actually got ours from CVS for 21.99.... they don't need refrigeration, that's a plus...but the real winning factors are...chia seeds taste good, they lower your blood pressure, they are rich in Omega-3, and....they help reduce food cravings!! At 20 calories a teaspoon that's a winner!

Notable Quotable by Willie Nelson - "Once you replace negative thoughts with positive ones, you'll start having positive results."

You got that right Willie!
