The denim midi skirt has secured a spot as one of the top denim trends of 2015. The 70's inspired midi skirt seen on many runways for pre-fall went from below the knee, all the way down to the floor. The skirt was shown with buttons, seams, in many shades and in a variety of silhouettes.

How to wear this trend:

Wear a v-neck cashmere sweater (opt for a feminine, pastel color) tucked into your denim pencil skirt. Pointed-toe pumps in nude suede and a structured top-handle handbag. Pictured here: (NET-A-PORTER) Tibi Denim Midi Skirt and J. Crew Cashmere Sweater.

For a flirty look, opt for a fluted silhouette denim midi skirt, paired with a fitted sweatshirt in neutral colors. Pointed-toe pumps and a structured tote. Pictured here: (NET-A-PORTER) Michael Kors Fluted Denim Skirt and Phillip Lim Sweatshirt.

A patchwork denim midi skirt with a frayed hem is a statement on it's own, so keep it simple on top with a tucked-in gray t-shirt. Accessorize with a cross body bag in pale rose or peach. Pictured here: (NET-A-PORTER) Saint Laurent Patchwork Denim Midi Skirt and Rag & Bone T-shirt.

The 20 piece collection will be available in stores on January 20th. British model and fashion icon Alexa Chung has collaborated with denim brand AG to create a casual collection with a 60's vibe of denim jeans (of course), short dresses, overalls and a mini skirt, as well as sweaters and t-shirts. Alexa Chung has a unique personal style coveted by many, including myself! I've been checking on-line daily for additional items to become available (it's selling out faster than I search). I have to have the denim shirtdress and denim skirt overall.. wish me luck.

The collection will be available at Adriano Goldschmied, Anthropologie, major department stores; Bloomingdales, SAKS, Nordstrom, Neiman Marcus and Bergdorf Goodman. It will also be available on-line at Revolve, Stylebop, Mytheresa and Avenue 32.

Sneakers are dominating the footwear category these days. Worn with everything from dresses to jeans and of course joggers. Whether you're dressed up or down, sneakers are the must-have shoe trend of the season. Opt for a court style in bright white or a neutral color for a look that is modern, chic and best of all, comfortable!

Stay fresh and keep it light this winter in pale pink and gray garments. Pink is incredibly flattering on pale winter complexions and gray is the new black this season!

A MUST HAVE: gray skinny jeans. Pair your skinnies with a light gray t-shirt and loose fitting pink sweater, or go monochromatic and wear gray on gray (my favorite look of the season). For those of you residing in arctic climates, opt for a head-to-toe wool outfit, like these matching Alice+Olivia wool sweater and pants - cozy, warm and fashionable. Change up your holiday party style and wear a graphic t-shirt tucked into a puffy pink skirt - says I'm cute and I'm here to party!

I'm an avid on-line shopper! I make 85% of my fashion and cosmetics purchases on-line, rather than visiting malls or shopping street side stores. Shopping on-line is superior to in-store shopping mostly due to the vast selection and ability to search for items unavailable in your area. 

On-line apparel and accessory sites like Shopbop and NET-A-PORTER publish lookbooks that showcase items from various designers/labels together - it's like having a personal stylist. The photos provided for each item allow you to see how the garments fit and which items to pair it with. Clothes look better on a model than on a hanger.. I luv lookbooks! Magazines are also a great media for inspiration and list every item, so you can search the internet and purchase anything that is published. Harpers Bazaar magazine has launched an on-line shopping site that allows readers to browse and purchase many of the items in the magazine. My fashion inspiration often comes from magazines and lookbooks.

My morning ritual consists of coffee and browsing on-line shopping sites. First on my list is Shopbop. This site carries many of my favorite designers/labels and posts new items each day. Shopbop stylists have great taste and showcase different brands together well. There is a section under each item "wear it with" that allows you to recreate the outfit pictured. Shopbop also publishes great lookbooks daily. They currently have 862 brands (I counted), such as Alice + Olivia, Phillip Lim, Elizabeth and James, as well as premiere designer names like Saint Laurent and Marchesa. Shopbop has a vast selection to suit everyones personal style. Shopbop has free shipping and returns. Included in your package you will find a prepaid return label that ensures a free return if you send the item back within seven days of receiving it. This allows you enough time to try on your items and decide whether you will keep them. 

I recently discovered NET-A-PORTER and quickly became obsessed with browsing the new arrivals, the magazine's page, and the stylish combinations of apparel and accessories showcased listed under "how to wear it". Each item has photos from many angles, up close so you can see the material and full body shots. What sets NET-A-PORTER apart are the videos posted next to each item showcasing the look. NET-A-PORTER has brands I haven't seen on another on-line shopping site, like Kate Moss for Topshop, and high brands such as Victoria Beckham, Stella McCartney and Proenza Schouler. If anything, this site will inspire you!

For premiere designer items my go-to on-line shopping site is Shop Bazaar. If I had to sum up this site in one word - trendy! There are currently 330 brands including Burberry Prorsum, Dolce & Gabbana, Emilio Pucci, The Row... It's designer apparel and accessories heaven! There is a "In the Magazine" page featuring items from the latest edition, as well as a "Trends" page for current fashion inspiration. 

Reminisce a traditional time in Russian, Eastern Europe and Native American history. The return of historic folk costume gives you a sense of romanticism and a feeling of warmth.

Folk Luxe fashion is inspired by cultures from around the world. The nostalgic trend is comprised of ethnic prints in black, brown, orange, yellow, red and cream. Knits made from alpaca, mohair and wool blends were seen all over the runways for fall 2014. Folk fashion is about mixing prints and patterns, layering, and vintage accessories. Ikat and forest animal prints dominate this trend - the traditional imagery comprised of warm colors portray culture and sentiment. Express your joyful sensibility in owl, fox and deer prints.

My most coveted trend for fall 2014 is loose garments with masculine characteristics. This androgynous trend is modern, sophisticated and intriguing. Androgyny is about mixing your feminine and masculine pieces. Opt for boxy and structured cuts, combined with a silk camisole in neutral colors; tailored pants with high heels, oxfords or sneakers and loose sweatshirts or a bomber jacket. This trend is about loose cuts, unisex garments and neutral colors. 

Ladies, you don't need to show off every curve to make a statement, so get rid of those skinny jeans and go for a modern, clean, androgynous look. Visit NET-A-PORTER.COM and browse their vast collection of tailored pants, sports jackets, sweaters, and masculine shoes for women. 

Faux Shearling mid-length coats in neutral and pastel colors are on trend for fall/winter. The voluminous silhouettes are luxurious and modern. Layer your soft faux shearling coat over a evening garment to show off your sophisticated style or wear with denim for a casual chic look. While neutrals are pretty and classic, opt for a pastel color, like pink or purple. These unexpected colors for fall/winter are feminine, stylish and on-trend.
