Top 5 "Better Be In Your Wardrobe" for Fall 2007

Scott Phree's Top 5(+) Hottest Fall Fashions 2007:

Animal Prints:

Who ever thought this trend would come back and make a splash! From Zebra to Crocidile to Giraffe, this Fall designers are making it a feast for fashion with prints splashed on everything from clutch bags to ballerina flats (shown below). Remember to add a splash here and there.....otherwise you'll look like a bad 80's fashion nightmare! Check out our favorite printed ballerina flats from the Gap coupled with that Caroline Rose top...meow!

Shades of Grey:

Ahhhh, we love this one! Be sure to add some grey to your fall wardrobe line-up, whether bubble-styled knit dress or femme couture men's booties, you can't go wrong! Check out our favorite Dorothy Perkins dress and Gucci pump! Super cute!

Tie Neck Blouses:

A style that's remnicant of the 80's with a little chic couture. You will find these tops in beautiful satins, dark chiffons and lovely silks. We absolutely adore this top from Nanette Lepore....fashionista's beware!

Dramatically Dressy:

Just when you thought you saw the last of the Spring bubble-styled trend in a dress, it's baaaaccckkk! But better than ever and darker hues! We love it! Dress these cuties up or down with dark hue tights and rockin' peep toes......get your cocktail on and don't be late! We loved the navy segue from spring to fall from Clu and BCBG and this hot Catherine Malandrino in fire engine red mix. Saavy and utterly unique!

Men's Couture Femme:

Yes, you too can look as fashionable as the boy next door, yet soft and sexy all at the same time. This season's trends is seeing a lot of Men's fashion turned femme fatale and we love it! From wide-leg trousers, sexy vests and suspendered trousers, to men's inspired fashion calf booties. We know you won't know where to start, but here are some of our faves:

Accessories BONUS(+):

Accessories round out or last top 5 trend and it's got us seeing shine! Shine as in plenty of patent leather. Be sure to mix and match such styles as cute clutch bags, patent leather booties and peep-toe pumps with the obligatory wide patent belt. For jewels we couldn't resist this Fendi arm candy. But definitely play your accessories up or down with silver and gold and lots of bold mixes.

Seven For All Mankind Steps Into Fall...Literally

Your favorite A-List Seven denims will now come ala Supermodel. Carolyn Murphy spices it up for the new fall campaign ads. The campaign imagery is said to mirror powerful sophistication and will debut for Autumn-Fall 2007-08. But hold on kiddies.....luxe footwear and accessories will also be on tap. Sounds delectable to me. VS gives this one 2 thumbs way up!

We saw this one coming.......LV offers a sexy cover for IPHONE

Ok, boys and girls, VS says you could smell this one a mile away! Louis Vuitton offers a sexy cover for the (yawn) IPhone. Ok, will someone email me when a slick haute couture designed cover for the Sidekick comes out. Louis Vuitton, not to be outdone by all the rave, offers a sleekly designed case for the Apple IPhone.

Where to get it: Starting on July 16th and exclusively carried on Louis Vuitton's flagship 5th Avenue store in Manhattan (of course). The cases will come in an array of colors and materials and range from $225 for the Monogram canvas and $1,120 for the alligator case.

A nationwide launch will follow in October - oh gee thanks.

VS like to be stylish and pulling out that oh dare I say it......OK - $22 T-Mobile Sidekick cover horrifies me so! Ok competitors that's for you! Gucci anyone....

Please Don't Disrupt The Sexy!

Dogs are people too! And when you want some fabulousness for your precious feline, please don't you dare pick those horrid $3 tees out of Wal-Mart. Go to www.scottphree.com of course!

I'll be watching you and I will ticket you for reckless endangerment to a pampered pooch if I catch you stretching doggie tees for a fit in the aforementioned store. You have been warned!
