The light, airy colors of summer have long since faded to the back of the closet. The cold and rain (ugh, the rain!) mean deep, dark, warm colors.

After scouring the Interwebs, we couldn't help but notice a strong affinity for blood red. We first noticed this trend at Little Plastic Horses - check it out:

This inspired us to go searching for more - and it wasn't hard to find. Skirts, sweaters, jackets, overcoats, even dark red lipstick, people seem to be hooked on blood red.

Here's our Red Zone moodboard.

On the East Coast, it seems we've skipped right over fall and moved straight to winter. Which means crisp air, layered looks, and - of course - boots.

In this edition of TrendSourcing, we catalogue how our favorite bloggers dress up as the temperature heads down. This week, fashion inspiration came thanks to Studded Hearts, Sea of Shoes, Because I'm Addicted and The Haute Pursuit.

First up, Yenny from Studded Hearts. She always puts together such beautiful photo collages.

Jane from Sea of Shoes rocks a big hat and big necklace along with her big, cozy coat. And check out her shoe selection behind her in the first picture!

Now for the rest:

Are you ready for fall yet? How are you preparing?

And what shoes will you wear!?

This week on TrendSourcing, we're tackling the trend that seems to be everywhere right now: animal print, specifically leopard print.

And when we say everywhere, we're not just talking about shoes. Here are a few fierce animal print looks from Fashion Squad, Because I'm Addicted, and Dulce Candy, Sea of Shoes and Karla's Closet.

Okay, so Karla's shoes might not be animal print per se, but they're awesome nonetheless. :)

What do you think about animal print? It's a look that's always coming in and out of style. What spurred this latest swell in popularity?

P.S. If you haven't seen them yet, check out Gala Darling's ferocious pink leopard wedges, which are still a work in progress but slated to debut in our store soon.

P.P.S. Happy belated birthday to two of our favorites, Gala and Karla!

This is the first of our weekly series TrendSourcing, where we cruise the blogosphere and report on the latest trends in fashion. Not trends as determined by glossy magazines or glitzy runway shows, but by fashion bloggers and their readers. Because nobody knows your style better than you.

So let's get right to it: Military boots. This trend coincides perfectly with (or perhaps was borne of) the recent olive-and-camel color trend. As noted by Kelly, one of our favorite bloggers at The Glamourai:

"Olive really is the new black.... It's a hard-working neutral - universally flattering, it pairs seamlessly with nearly every color and print in your wardrobe."

Lulu from lulu and your mom has fallen in love with this trend, too.

In a recent photo-post by Rachel from That's Chic, she threw together a few inspiring images that included a serious pair of military boots.

Here are some of fantastic looks with military boots, courtesy of Street Peeper.

Maybe early autumn's crisp-edge air has everyone ready for a change. The military color palette - earthy greens, dark grays, camel browns, edgy bronzes – seems like a perfect segue from the brighter shades of summer.
