Get Your Tips For Fall Fashion 2011
By: Maura Bannon
As the leaves start to turn orange and the sunny weather fades, fashionistas have to admit summer is over and autumn is here. You know what that means – new trends and styles to discover! We no longer need the weekly pedicures and spray tans. Instead, we can hide our feet in closed toe shoes and cover up with jeggings and leather jackets.
You don’t have to roam the streets of Paris and Milan to find the hottest new fall fashion trends for 2011. Look no further, because of Violet’s and Stella’s of Saratoga, have brought the runway to you.
Crochet Is In!
Crochet has found its way into the fashion limelight – this fabric might remind some of you of your grandmother’s pot holders, but girls – we’re in a whole new ball game. A top, skirts, dresses – you name it, crochet is everywhere (And I love it)!
Surprisingly, crochet can be a very wearable piece in your closet. Below, Aleeson is looks amazing in the BCBGeneration top! Since the material is a cousin of the chunky sweater, it is sure to keep you warm in the upcoming brisk weather.
Pair a crochet top with a tightly fitted tank underneath – layering is key. You don’t want to be a walking fashion faux pas by going bare underneath…or do you? This top is $168.
Jeggings Are Back
Last season, jeggings were everywhere. Now, since jeggings are so common, it was inevitable that a new trend would stumble onto the path of fashion. What’s fresh for fall? Red jeggings – who doesn’t love a pop of color?
These Paige brand Verdugo Scarlett Jeggings are flattering, as well as comfortable- the best part? These jeans are designed to conform to your body’s natural curves and movements throughout the day! You’ll be sure to stand out wearing this bold and daring trend. Buy these jeans at Violet’s and Stella’s of Saratoga for $179.
A Dress For All Occasions
My favorite trend of the fall would most definitely be the long sleeved maxi dress. Don’t think that the maxi can only be sported by tall people, because it’s absolutely not true. You just need to find the right dress. Anything maxi will make you look long, lean and they are just too comfortable. 
With the right styling, you can wear a maxi dress to the office, dinner or even a party. You can never go wrong! This black Kensie, dress is a blank canvas for you to experiment with. To spice things up, pile on your favorite necklaces, or show off your favorite fall scarf. The sky’s the limit, ladies! This dress is $80.
Everyone should own a pair of Frye boots. My personal favorite of the fall season is the Veronica Slouch. This boot has an adjustable buckled strap across the vamp and atop the shaft. Wear these timeless boots tucked into jeans, tights or a fun dress or skirt. The possibilities are endless. This boot is $328. 
Fun fact: did you know that the Frye Company was founded in 1863 and is the oldest continuously operated shoe company in the United States? You do now!
Frye’s are always in stock at Violet’s and Stella’s of Saratoga- weather you’re looking for a boot, flat or a sexy heel, Violet’s and Stella’s of Saratoga has your Frye fix!
