Summer is in full swing, but autumn ’09 won’t be far behind! These hot trends will get your summer sizzling, but won’t fade when things cool down.

Metallics. Silver leaf earrings, shiny bags, and light fabrics with metallic foil print will give your look a shimmery summer sheen, as long as you don’t pile on too much shine. Plus, adding accessories that sparkle can have the same effect as wearing gold jewelry, without the expense.

Bohemian accessories. Summer is a time for relaxing and beach-going. Why not replicate the colorful, flowery mood of the summer scene and integrate it into your style. The greatest thing about this gypsy glam trend is that mismatching, loose fabrics, and tons of colors can be utilized at once. As long as you tie it together with a few consistent designs, boho throw-together is a great way to go. And when things chill down, it’s easy to find a bright pullover, or a cute pear of tights to make your look last until the last leaves fall.

Versatile Dresses and Tops. Ever own that one perfect top or dress that works with everything? Well, one fabulous piece can be your go-to look for both summer and fall. Dresses, blouses, and light sweaters that tie, wrap, or convert can easily be a part of your hot weather outfits, or the best choice for a cool night. Often, cardigans with loose ends for tying, or simple, wrap dresses made of cotton are the perfect length to wear alone, or with jeans when the summer breeze chills out.
