Elisabeth is 24 years old. She knew that she wanted to become a fashion designer from the 9th grade.

She had always been creative and had a passion for fashion. After high school a family friend told her about Copenhagen academy of fashion design in Denmark. She decided that she wanted to start College in Denmark and it became two of the best years in her life.

With the changing colors of leaves and the dawn of fall come new fashion trends for the upcoming season. Summer has come and departed, and this means the time for tanks and shorts has also ended. New trends have been showcased at designers' latest fashion shows, including some from summer that have remained, and newer, more jaw-dropping ones. A new season is time for change and different weather, but a new season means much more to fashion lovers everywhere. It is a time to alter one's style to fit with the current trends and experiment with a variety of colors, fabrics, and prints.

We all want those new pair of designer heels we have been eyeing or that new designer dress we saw a celebrity wearing in a magazine; those are just fashion wants and every girl has fashion needs. Wardrobe staples are the basic items of clothing and accessories that all women should have hanging in their closet. So, if you want to splurge, splurge on a wardrobe staple that will be more useful to you as these pieces always stay in style.

It is often said in the fashion world that accessorizing is an art. Believe it or not, accessorizing the right way does involve focal points and symmetry, just like art does. Most days, we find ourselves stumbling in our closet trying to find a new dress or blouse we have not already worn.

It is that time of year when our jackets and the rest of our cooler clothes are put to the back of the closet and our fun and exciting summer clothes are brought to the front.

It started with a blog post I wrote about my frustration with swimsuits when I was 14-years-old. After growing up with a rare liver disease and undergoing two liver transplants at age 11, I had earned battle wounds that stretched the lengths of my abdomen making me less than comfortable with wearing a bikini to the pool or beach.

I admit it: when picking out what I wear for the day, I often neglect one of the most important parts of an outfit — the accessories. Although a simple scarf or ear cuff only plays a small part in your outfit, it can change your outfit completely and turn it from plain to memorable. There's no need to spend too much money either, although you should invest more money on a good pair of shoes or boots.
