    After Halloween is over, it seems kind of silly to keep spooky home decorations like ghosts and goblins out on display. But you can still keep your home festive for fall even though we still have a month or so to go before the holidays kick in. I mean, fall doesn't have to equal Halloween, right?

    And what better way to stop your kids from whining about their candy being gone than to get them involved in helping you turn your home into a fall wonderland? 

    Take this lovely arrangement of mums, gourds, and pumpkins, for example. The myriad of colors are a perfect fit for autumn, and this makes a great display, inside or out.

    Earlier this week we took a look at celebs who look great in fall's biggest trend, black and white, and a few weeks ago, we learned about what beauty trends are out of style, but today, today we're going to talk about fall fashions that no one, no one should wear this season. You think fashion is subjective, but it's not. There may not be rules, per se, but there are certainly suggestions. Strong ones. Like here, in this post.

    From certain shoes to certain scarves to certain animals, here are 5 things nobody should be caught dead wearing this autumn.

    I used to hate fall when it signaled back to school, but now that my school days are firmly and securely in my past, I can appreciate the season for all it's worth. Crisp weekends, football, and of course, fashion make fall one helluva season. Who doesn't love to get all cozy in a new sweater and cheers a cider to all things autumnal? Nobody.

    I've been looking to update my fall wardrobe, but hey, I don't want to spend too much. That got me thinking that if I focused on accessories, I could save money and still get some style thrills. So! Here are 8 of my favorite fall fashion frills.

    Holy acorns dropping on the ground, it's fall! Hooray! Glory be to the season of tights and leg warmers and cowl neck sweaters -- bring 'em on and the apple cider too. It's time to celebrate fashion's finest season, folks. 

    After a long, sticky summer, nothing feels more pleasing than bundling up and stepping out into autumn's brisk air and its tumbling leaves. So tuck away the flip-flops and pull out the boots, change is coming and the new season offers so many great styles to look forward to.

    Here are 10 reasons fall is the very best season for style.

    What seasonal staples are you most excited to wear this season?

    What goes together better than Fifty Shades of Grey and nail polish? Nothing. They're like sugar and spice. Bonnie and Clyde. Jay and Bey. When you think about it, they really are a match made in heaven.

    Christian Grey and Anastasia Steele have made everything sexier. Even elevators are sexy. Now that takes talent. And nail polish? Oh, honey. Most of fall's steamiest colors have ties to some of the hottest Fifty Shades moments. Pretty sure I'll never look at a sultry grey hue and not think of Mr. Fifty Shades of F&^ked Up (or that tie ... or that glare). Purple, too. Remember Ana's jaw-dropping frock that sent CG over the edge? Yup. That's the one.

    So you can't blame us everyday folk for wanting a little piece of the Fifty Shades pie. And now we can have it. Here are six hot fall nail colors that will remind you of your favorite scenes from the book.

    Ok, really serious question here: Do you or don't you believe in wearing white after Labor Day has come and gone? Some nix the hue after the holiday like it's the law -- and you do not mess with the law. Others seem to think the unwritten decree is flexible. They're all yup, my tan faded months ago now STFU and check out my creamy white tee. Ugh. Can't choose? Let me help.

    Why not wear white after the three-day weekend? It isn't strictly reserved for bronzed skin and sunkissed faces. Um, hello, snow is white, guys. If Mother Nature can pull off the style (and y'all know she can be a big B) I think we'll be alright to try it too. The color is clean, sophisticated, elegant, and refreshing. Not to mention totally on trend.

    But since I'm no expert on the matter (formally, at least), let's put the debate in the hands of nine fabulous fabrics. Spoiler alert! They're all white. So take a peak and get a clue: Wearing white long after Labor Day is classic and lovely.

    I like fall for three reasons: dressing in layers, pumpkin spice and apple everything, and boots. Fall is where it's at. Boots are wear it's at. (Get it!?) What's not to love about wool socks and comfortable boots!? Duh, it means I don't need to shave my legs every other day. Don't even! You're thinking it too.

    It's just ... ugh, there've been some seeeeriously wacked-out, uncomfortable-looking styles out so far. And some of the prices? Wow. I'm hoping it's just a case of the over-achievers needing to get their shoes out first, not caring what they look or feel like. As I'm not a shoe scientist, I cannot confirm this. So you've got all season long to redeem yourself, designers.

    For now, let's take a deep, dark look at 10 of the zaniest, most high-maintenance boots that've made their debut so far and then thankfully! 10 sexy but more practical, comfy boots we can look good in without breaking our necks.

    Sometimes I leaf through a magazine and get completely overwhelmed when I see the over-the-top gorgeous models wearing the latest styles. That is so not me, I think. But then I look closer and realize that yes, even I can wear rock those looks ... with some adaptation.

    This Fall there are some very bold makeup trends that if worn all together it would get you banned from any "mommy and me" class forever. But if worn right and with a light hand, would just make others think you just got a great night's sleep and envy your look. Like the dark red lipstick trend for example. A clean face (a little powder to control shine) and Maybelline's SuperStay 14 Hr Lipstick  ($6.94) in Wine and Forever is a great way to make your lips pop while keeping the rest of your face subtle. I'd wear it with just a little mascara on my eyes, too.

    Lauren Conrad was smart to parlay her fame from starring on MTV's The Hills into a successful career as a fashion designer and all-around style icon.

    She's one of my absolute favorite 20-something stylistas, managing to always look both current and classic -- edgy and yet ... ladylike. It's a feat that few are able to truly manage.

    It's no small wonder, then, that her Paper Crown Fall 2012 collection shows so much promise. Her clothes manage to be flirty, fun, and elegant.

    She just released the entire lookbook on her website.

    I'm loving the khaki trenchcoat featured on the cover, aren't you?
