5 Best Fashion Trends For Autumn 2016

Fall into fashion with a new spin to your aesthetic

September has arrived after a long, humid summer. For some, the thought of fall beginning is disheartening. After all, they have to pack away the bikinis, sandals, and beach towels to prepare for the winter. Fall, however, brings new fashion and new ways to express your style. Here are a few trends you're bound to see this autumn.

1. Straps and ties

Ribbons, strings, and links are everywhere in upcoming fall fashion. The corset top seems to be coming back, and unexpected places for straps are appearing all over. Dresses held together in the middle with lacing are chic and sure to impress without being too daring.

2. Muted orange

While orange has always been a part of the fall palette, the muted orange brings this often too bright color into the realm of sophisticated earthy tones. One of Pantone's colors for Fall 2016 is Potter's Clay, a rusty orange that flatters a variety of skin tones.

3. Leather trench coats

Leather trench coats aren't just for spies and action heroes anymore. These coats are one of the best trends for fall! Classic and just a little edgy, you can style these coats with almost any outfit, casual or formal. It will give you that little edge you've been looking for, and keep you cozy while you're looking fierce.

4. One shoulder sweaters

This casual, slouchy style can be paired with leggings and boots for a fun weekend outfit. Some of these asymmetrical tops can be dressed up, as well. Think sequins and skinny slacks to make a statement at a fall party.

5. Subtly shiny fabrics

Try out an unusual texture this fall. A subtle shine will draw attention to movement. You'll be turning heads all season if you don a subtle metallic shirt. Mixing textures is essential with shiny fabrics. Aim for some matte fabric in your outfit, as well—balance is key! A small shine will create a big glow for you.

The first two weeks of classes have come to an end and they have been anything BUT easy. It seems like life has been serving up more bad than good and in all honesty, the only thing you want to do is crawl under your covers and hide from the rest of the world.

Although this seems like the best solution, it is also the easy way out. Take it from the girl who took basically a whole week off from her life because she just could not handle everything that was being thrown at her. This caused her to feel extremely lonely and even more stressed out for being behind in classes that JUST began.

11 Things We Learned From Brooke Davis

"What's more important? What we become or how we become it?"

"She was fiercely independent, Brooke Davis. Brilliant, and beautiful, and brave. In two years she had grown more than anyone I had ever known. Brooke Davis is going to change the world someday, and I'm not sure she even knows it." - Lucas Scott, An Unkindness of Ravens

Brooke Davis of the hit show One Tree Hill was the it girl - she had it all, or so we thought. She started out as a stuck-up, shallow, spoiled, head cheerleader who didn't have her life together. She slept around a lot and loved to party - sounds like your typical high school teenager right? Wrong. B. Davis had so much more to offer. Caring, loyal, and outspoken, she has taught us some valuable lessons throughout the 9 seasons that OTH was on the air:
