Nicole Richie knows that tops that are sheer are totally in style for this fall.

Make sure your fall wardrobe isn’t lacking these pieces

When a fashionista thinks of fall, she conjures up images of coats, scarves and pants. And she laments the fact that this season is usually the time where we have to put away our sundresses and platforms in exchange for something a bit more modest. Luckily, InStyle knows that as die-hard fashion fans, we still want to look our best and even feel sexy.

To do that, we should make sure we have these items in our closet:

1) Brocade Dress
Jennifer Lawrence was seen wearing this type of dress while out and about in Los Angeles. For an updated look that is still classic, wear this piece over a long sleeve black shirt and pair with tights.

2) Leather A-line skirt
Black isn't the only color that looks great in leather. Carmel and even burgundy are all hot shades for fall. Add a turtleneck for a totally work appropriate fashion statement.

3) Sheer-print blouse
Tops that are sheer may have been thought of as only good for summer, but this method of thinking is totally a thing of the past. Emulate one of Nicole Richie's favorite looks and sport this type of flowy blouse with leather leggings.

4)  Shiny blazer
A sequined or organza blazer will make heads turn anywhere you go. These look utterly fabulous when worn with everything from a pencil skirt to jeans.

Of course, with all these items, make sure you don't forget about updating your handbag and shoe collection. At Dellamoda.com, we offer a wide range of designer shoes and purses from famous brands like Jimmy Choo, Alexander McQueen and Manolo Blahnik.

 
The bottom line is that 24 inch waists are out and bootylicious figures are in, which means that the majority of women in the world don't have to feel so guilty about enjoying a cheeseburger once in awhile.

Fashion editors embracing a new trend: bigger women

Most of us are used to seeing rail-thin models sprawled between the pages of famous fashion magazines modeling clothes that look like even a 12-year-old girl would have trouble fitting into. But, all of that may be changing as certain editors are being told to airbrush models to make them appear bigger and more curvaceous.

''The bootylicious-ness of the Beyonce, the J-Lo, and the Kim Kardashian effect is contagious, and Hollywood runs things more than models nowadays. It is definitely not about make-me-look skinny, it is make me look sexy and curvy. And we’re also seeing a trend in cleavage,'' said top celebrity stylist Phillip Bloch."(Airbrushing) is happening in several other parts of the body too. They want toned arms, and fuller faces.”

This process of photoshopping is known as "reverse retouching" and it was first introduced to the public after employees at a British magazine called Healthy admitted that a certain cover model looked unnaturally skinny. However, instead of finding someone new at the last minute, the director of the shoot just told the editor to use special effects to make her body look fuller.

Even one former Cosmopolitan editor said her staff has altered the way some models in this magazine look so that they have bigger hips and fuller faces. The art director of Self Magazine made a similar confession.

The bottom line is that 24 inch waists are out and bootylicious figures are in, which means that the majority of women in the world don't have to feel so guilty about enjoying a cheeseburger once in awhile.

But sophisticated women know that even the best bodies just won't look right without designer accessories.

Carved stones are timeless in the same way that a vintage Chanel pearl necklace is.

Clever ways for incorporating family heirlooms into your wardrobe

There are few things that are more special than receiving a family heirloom. Whether it's a beautiful ring, unique necklace or priceless pair of earrings, these pieces should be cherished forever.

However, despite their extraordinary beauty, many women find that these these adornments don't really mesh well with their style and struggle to update them.

Luckily, Vogue Magazine has some tips on how to incorporate heirlooms any fashionista's modern wardrobe:

1) Don't shy away from carved stones
According to Russell Whitmore, owner of a Brooklyn jewelry store,  "there’s a lot of lost art. You should focus on things that you couldn’t replace." Lots of fashion-forward females may find carved jewelry to be outdated, but that couldn't be further from the truth. Carved stones are timeless in the same way that a vintage Chanel pearl necklace is.

2) Embrace screwback earrings
Surprisingly enough, many antique earrings have screwbacks. Today, most women avoid this type of earring back because they take too long to screw in. Those who find their screwbacks bothersome, should take the earrings to a jeweler who can usually replace the post.

3) Look for a nice chain
Whitmore, recommends that women hang heirloom rings or charms on a nice chain. According to him, now-a-days, labor-intensive chains are typically made by machines instead of hands. But, with a bit of searching, you can usually find them at estate sales and even flea markets.

Of course, you should always make sure that you sport matching accessories by top-notch labels, such as Gucci and Prada. If you don't feel like spending thousands of dollars to look like a million bucks, buy from Dellamoda.com. We're an online-retailer that sells luxury goods such as brand name shoes, designer sunglasses and cheap designer bags all for less than you would pay at a large department store.
