If you're looking for a fall handbag that you would want to invest your hard earned dollars on, I suggest this 'Stephanie' Hobo by Diane Von Furstenburg. This bag has it all... glitz, glam and style. Metal chain-links makes the body of the over-sized bag. It also has a detachable leather shoulder strap and a detachable short leather strap. With that, you are getting two handbag styles for the price of one!

Don't cover those shoulders just yet ladies. This fall, one-shoulder and one-sleeve dresses are quite the trend. Chic, sexy yet elegant perfect for day or evening soirees. Here are some styling tips on one-shoulder and one-sleeve dresses:

• Material/Fabric - opt for stretch cotton, jersey or any comfortable fabrics for day and go with silks, fabrics with sheen for evening.
• Style - everyday wear should be casual save the ruffles, appliques, bows for evenings or special occasions. If you want to dress it up for day, simply accessorize with chic, tasteful, statement worthy jewelry. Clutches or any small-sized handbags are fabulous with this type of dresses.
  
• Shoes - knee-high boots and over the knee boots are great for day while ankle boots, pumps paired with tights or leggings works best for your evening looks.
  

So, how much should you spend on a dress that only has one-shoulder or one sleeve? Believe it or not while I was shopping around they cost more than dresses with sleeves. I say look at this trend as sort of 'investment' garments. A dress or two for special engagements, party dresses if I may. I think a dress under $200 is ideal any dress priced more than that is surely a splurge.

From luxury footwear designers Jimmy Choo to more affordable brands like Chinese Laundry and all those in between, tribal design has surely served as an inspiration. Being born and raised in the Philippines, indigenous tribes once ruled and occupied the islands. Their legacy lives through rich and colorful traditions that are still celebrated today.

For spring and summer spice up any look with tribal inspired accessories or footwear. But don't over do it. You don't want to overdo it. Or else you'll look like the National Geographic gift shop threw up on you. And as always, trends works best when done right. Always apply your fashion sense at all times when trying something new.

Hopefully everyone is having a fantastic holiday. I'm a bit tired had a very late night last night but the fabulousity must go on!

When asked why I moved from Michigan to Los Angeles, I say; the weather. Growing up in the Philippines, where the climate average in the low to mid 70s all-year round and snow is something we only see on t.v. But I have to admit, snow does make the holidays feel extra special.

Fall in southern California can feel like spring or even summer at times. So, when it comes to cold weather fashion we have to shop with having that in mind.
