Q. Tanzanite is a huge jewelry trend this fall — the new rock on the block, if you will. Do you have any suggestions on how I can incorporate it into my fall wardrobe?
A. Absolutely, and you’ll be happy to know the fashion world is growing up for Fall 2007. Turning away from the little girlish silhouettes, it’s a classic, ladylike style that’s taking hold. The inspiration you might ask? The 1940s. Think timeless screen sirens Katherine Hepburn and Lauren Bacall. Think bold and confident, and style that’s as every bit classic as it is feminine.
From totally grown-up high-waisted pants to chic pencil skirts, from jewel-toned accessories that add a touch of luxurious decadence, to finding that perfect shade of gray that’s going to give your fall wardrobe just the right amount of tempered elegance, fall is all about bold, fabulous femme fatale looks and elegant opulence. As such, timeless yet on-trend tanzanite feels just right for fall. Its rarity and distinction are the perfect complements to fall’s fabulously femme looks.
Read on for fall’s top trends and tips on how to rock tanzanite (the new rock on the block) with them.
Top Trends for Fall:
1. Grown-up Glamour
The Fall 2007 runways saw a refreshing shift away from little girl silhouettes (think babydoll dresses) toward more sophisticated shapes and classic ladylike styles. The decade referenced the most? The 1940s. Screen sirens Katherine Hepburn and Lauren Bacall come to mind, mixing equal parts bold, confident, feminine and classic.
Get the look: Say goodbye to the muffin top (a.k.a. low-rise pants) and embrace fall’s new grown-up silhouettes: higher-waisted wide-legged pants and chic straight pencil skirts.

2. Jewel Tones
Which top trend for fall had glamour girls rejoicing the style world over? Jewel tones, naturally. Deep plums and aubergines, saffron, midnight blues and emerald greens popped up repeatedly, and now we have a fabulously decadent new rainbow of choices that’s also luxurious and sophisticated.
Get the look: How’s a girl to incorporate jewel tones into her wardrobe without being fined by the fashion police? Think easy elegance. Opt for jewel tones in measured doses: accessories such as bags and shoes are the answer.

3. Shades of Gray
Gray is the new black for fall. From romantically soft heather to more dramatic slate and pewter, you’ll be looking forward to the new gray’s anatomy this fall.
Get the look: Embrace the new neutral in soft heather by wearing another popular trend for fall, the sweater dress. Neutral territory — like a gray dress — is just asking for that extra kick, so be sure to pair it with brilliant blue, deep eggplant, or patent red accents. Or, up the drama factor with darker shades of gray like slate and metallic pewter.
