The look could be 'mens inspired' or stolen from Hillary Clinton, wherever it may have come from the pantsuit is a huge fall trend this season. The inspiration is not just about a men's inspired design it's most importantly about colour this time around. Nothing beige, boring or even basic, it's all bold. You can opt for a bold primary colour, print or combine the colour and print all in one like Blake Lively has been doing recently. My look was an easy find taken right off the rack at http://www.aritzia.com. They had a great looking suit that just hit the stores with a high waist pant and loose fitting blazer. The options were red, baby blue or pink. I can never pull off red, I felt the blue was a bit to basic so I went for the baby pink. Take a look below for some outfit goals this fall.

Christine Pienaar PhotographyBlossom & Vine Floral Style, Fashion and Interior Design Visiting the home of personal stylist, with a sneak preview into my world. My passion for styling and cleansing people's personal wardrobes transpired the design of my own home... a small space where I managed to include all my favourite cottage décor items. My personal sense of fashion is simple and monochromatic. While not missing out on current trends, I included this concept within our home by transforming the basic builder-gray walls and strange sparkly-light fixtures into a cottage-theme design by using the same approach as I do with personal styling, creating something I love and feel comfortable in! Desserts Noms By Mon Beginning with the front entry, I selected a timeless monochromatic (favorite colour choice in my wardrobe as well) beige/white damask wall covering, a period white accent table and decorative mirror to create a dramatic, yet neutral tone within this small space. On the main floor, an open concept, is where I incorporated a small workspace corner to prepare my client story and styling blogs and other business duties. It was important for us to have room to entertain, so I selected to a custom-built farm table which added extra space to the 9 ft island! Soft beach-tones from Benjamin Moore paint colours were selected for the living area that enhanced the white woodwork and cabinets

Once Spring/Summer fashion comes into the stores, without fail, you always find the 'groundbreaking' floral. As well as lots of white on white and natural shades. It was a pleasant surprise to see a pastel be one of the biggest trends this year. That pastel colour is known as lilac or lavender. If you're someone who loves to online shop, go to your favorite site and search the colour option and bam, every item in this popular seasonal colour pops up! For my personal styling, I found a lightweight lilac sweater from http://www.hm.com for only $17! The west coast tends to be chilly in the evenings which makes this sweater a great piece year round!

Shirt: AritziaBelt: H&MShoes: Louboutin The past two seasons we have seen a lot of shirts becoming dresses! From sweatshirts and t-shirts to a poplin blouse all the tops are now being worn in a bit baggier style and a little longer length. This trend is versatile from day to night all by playing with the perfect shoe. Ankle booties, pumps and over the knee boots for fall create a chic look out of a loose, oversized top!! Want to know more about the shirt dress look? Ask us, the personal stylist experts and we can tell you how to get the look!

Coat: ZaraDenim: Citizen of HumanityShoes: Christian Louboutin One of the more popular trends this season has been a bold print.  Think of a print you would most likely see on wallpaper or even drapes! Trends seem to be coming from inspiration in the living room and now moving into your closet! The vivid prints and color have been focused more on a layering piece vs your entire outfit. Lightweight maxi or kimono style coats found on designer runways to H&M. Lots of options at variable price points. I picked up my kimono style at Zara for $69! It was the perfect piece layered over neutrals. Photographer: Christine Pienaar

Photographer: Christine Pienaar Inspiration for Mabelle's 'personal' style never comes from one place, and for clients my inspiration comes from many sources! Reading, travelling, instagramming, books and magazines... there are numerous outlets to find fashion ideas, trends and new creations. Once the creative juices click in, go for it full speed. For this overall trend, Mabelle Style gravitated to Spring/Summer 2017 fashion shows watching Victoria Beckham stroll around New York in Fall sporting her Spring 2017 line. I loved the colour blocking used with her very bold colours (bright oranges and purple hues.) Colour blocking is a difficult task but by using your own personal stylist you to can get it right ;)  If this is a look you want to achieve, one easy way to get it right is to go for bold contrasting colours. This concept can be weird because if you think it doesn't work, it probably does work! Just be sure to avoid pastel shades, think strong colours from your childhood! Get my look - I pieced together a $29 skirt found during Aritzia's past sale with a current $200 knotted Alexander Wang t-shirt. One of my fave spring trends #colourblocking.

Shoes: AquazzuraStockings: WolfordDenim: Mother Street style has become the way of fashion trends! What's more inspiring for fashion lovers, watching the runway shows? Or watching the street style fashion heading to the runways before the show? The 90's trend has become a new look stemming from the street styles captured on the way into the top fashion shows of the season.  Fishnets can give a little edge to  bohemian dresses, denim shorts, boyfriend jeans etc. Simple and low price accessory that really amps up your personal style. This was a style I was unsure how to pull off with my personal style, but after a little (or a lot!) of inspiration from the fashion shows and Instagram I realized I can take this look as an add on accessory and incorporate it into my wardrobe. I prefer the fishnet socks vs the full tights and I love them with with a great pair of heals!
