We have all seen outrageous women's fashions come and go.  But it turns out men can also be caught up in the fashion craze.  Want a laugh?  Check out these men's fashions by clicking here..  Not all have lasted, but there are still a few that men think are in fashion.

Back to the 1980's is one of the Fall 2009 fashion trends.  I've been online researching just what we wore in the 80's.  Here's a photo of what you'd see during the time of the Yuppies, Princess Diana, Dynasty, Miami Vice, the Valley Girl, Margaret Thatcher, and Flashdance.

Here are some more beautiful color fans I did for clients.

Here's a Rose Tone Summer.  This client wanted a navy, so I added an additional Alternative Neutral.  Also, I changed the Casual Neutral, which is hair-related, to better match her.

Here are a few more trends I'm seeing.

Rough and Tough--leather, studs, zippers, grommets.  I'm seeing this in jackets (think, motorcycle jackets) and handbags.

Boots--of course, these are needed for winter weather.  But how about sexy over the knee boots?

Knits and Sweaters--a big comfy boyfriend cardigan.  A little longer than we've seen for a while.

Women share.  That's one of our great assets.  So when I find a great resource, I like to share it with you.  Let me introduce you to my hair stylist.

As a member of the Cupertino Square Action Alliance Association, I invite you to come to the Cupertino Square (formerly Valco Shopping Center) Business Faire and Sidewalk Sale.  I'll be doing free makeovers.  Find me downstairs.  And visit over 50 other small businesses.
