1. Pick up something purple.
Give your wardrobe the royal treatment this fall with a punch of purple. "Some of the best looks for fall involve color and texture," says Cynthia Nellis, women's fashion-guide author. Incorporate the season's hottest shade to add instant style to any outfit. Try everything from shirts to stockings in rich shades of plum, lavender and eggplant.
2. Spice it up with prints.
Get noticed this season in one of fall's hip prints. Plaid, paisley and florals will pop up on dresses, heels and coats alike. Mix things up by pairing clashing patterns, such as a striped scarf with a floral dress.
3. Have fun with fabric.
The fall runways were filled with a wide variety of fashionable fabrics. Try your favorite fall trends in everything from tweed to taffeta to keep the season interesting. "Lace and velvet both make an appearance for fall," says Nellis.
4. Oversize your accessories.
Think big for fall jewelry. A notice-me necklace is an effortless way to dress up your fall duds. Other ideas for a glamorous fall look include large sculptural cuffs, major necklaces and anything bejeweled.
5. Ease the transition.
Don't try to transform your entire wardrobe for one season. Simple additions, such as scarves, belts and handbags, can help ease your wardrobe into autumn. According to fashion forecasts, this fall there's a handbag for everyone. Look for natural, earthy touches such as bamboo, texture of any kind and lots of color.
6. Amplify your eyes.
"The buzz off the runways for fall 2008 is all about color on the eyes and lips," says beauty advisor Julyne Derrick. "Jewel colors, especially grays, purples and blues, are hot for the eyes. Keep in mind almost anyone can wear blue shadow. You just have to find a flattering shade."
7. Get new beauty loot.
This fall, the big buzz in beauty is all about moisture. Revamp your beauty regimen with a new line designed to give your skin and hair an even healthier look: Aquacurrent™ Science. It's a deep understanding of moisture movement that can help direct moisture where it's needed. "This is an approach to better harness the power of moisture and hydration for beauty-care products, and we're looking to deliver formulation to maximize the water's movement across the skin," says Shekhar Mitra, vice president of global research and development at Procter & Gamble. Inspired by aquaporins, natural proteins that are found in the body, the science is designed to work with the natural properties of water to help the movement of moisture.
"Water is in constant movement in the surface of the hair and skin," says Mitra. P&G Beauty scientists have applied this research to select products from Pantene®, Olay®, CoverGirl® and Secret®.
