Goodbye to the beach, the picnics and other summer follies we&#8217;ve indulged in\u00c2\u00a0throughout the past few months. This doesn&#8217;t need to be a sad time though because fall can be just as enjoyable and most of all just as fashionable. Think about it: fall is when <strong>Fashion Night Out<\/strong> and <strong>Mercedes-Benz Fashion Week<\/strong> take place and when some of the best fashion trends of the entire year hit the market. I have a personal affection for fall fashion because I love layering, I love textures and I love fall footwear.\u00c2\u00a0So to celebrate this transition and countdown to <em>Fashion Month<\/em> a.k.a. September, we will share with you some of our favorite upcoming fall trends and our favorite <strong>Up Close and Personal<\/strong> interviews of the year. We have fashion designers, photographers, celebrities, hair stylists, makeup artists and philanthropists that have become friends of F.W.A.C. and we want you to get to know them and love them like we do.<\/p>\n<p>Remember that fashion is not only about finding something to wear; it&#8217;s about expressing yourself.
