Fashion Tip of the Week .42 [Girls & Guys Edition]

Fashion Tip(s) of the Week #42: So for this week, 1 tip for the guys and 1 tip for the girls!

Guys_ The forecast for fall is layered 19th century looks. Why not reincorporate a vest into casual wear. Use a casual button up and some skinny jeans with decent loafers and u got urself a full on outfit. Doesn't always have to be for going out!

Girls_ Like the featured item, accessories common among girls are the clinged up metals and silvers... But the flapper years are upon us and why not incorporate pearls into your deconstructed look? Off layers with waist-puffed shirts. Modernizing the flapper years is at its mid-life cycle. So jump on the bandwagon and wear it well!

Featured Item of the Week: We all know it is expensive to buy accessories. But what about affordable jewelery that looks like Charlize or Halle wore them? Dana Lorenz's diffusion line is the place you wanna look at! This one you are looking at is cinnabar and brass (all real items!). It doubles as a necklace and a belt! $295.

Fashion Tip of the Week .41 [Guys & Girls Edition]

Okay people! another tip of the week! lets roll.

Fashion Tip(s) of the Week #41: So for this week, 1 tip for the guys and 1 tip for the girls!

Guys_ Try adding a little something like suspenders to your outfits. You will see alot of designers moving towards suspenders for Spring 2007! Try pairing them with deconstructed chinos or dress pant shorts. Be fashion forward!

Girls_ So since not alot of girls can find that perfect city shorts. For girls with larger thighs, you might want to consider cuffed shorts. And for girls who have smaller thighs and lack of a tush you might want to consider finding city shorts WITHOUT rear pockets and non-stretch. Here is an inside tip that pockets elongates the rear thereby giving an appearance of a long rear instead of a plump one! good luck!

Featured Item of the Week: If you girls love your handbags... here is the must have item for the fall. The Gryson leather Skye bag in Smoke for $659. Joy Gryson made her mark in designing for Coach, Calvin Klein and Marc Jacobs. So you know she is legit!

Fashion Tip of the Week .40

I like to introduce a new feature to my blogs. And instead of listing tons and tons of this seasons must-haves at once, I present the new category "Featured Item of the Week".

Fashion Tip(s) of the Week #40: So for this week only (because of my return), I will offer several tips, but I will be scaling back a bit to allow myself enough material to last more weeks. I usually supply enough material to last months in one blog.

Fall Trends:

*_metallics- its back! Bust out those metallic shoes that were sittin in the closet and for those who are really daring, a metallic clothing piece.
*_Waist bubbles- what this is basically "puff" pieces. Things that puff up at the hips. Par example or this one.
*_Fur- furs are coming back in. Whether your preference is faux or real, a blend of fur/fabrics, In My Opinion, is better. 1, 2, 3
*_Oversized- This is really for the business-minded person. High-rise, wide pant leg opening. 1
*_Layering- enough said. Over-layering is the in thing
*_Napoleonic- brass buttons, tailored jackets, you get the idea. 1

Featured Item of the Week: If you girls can find a look-a-like or actually daring to buy the real thing... The Dior Stiletto needle-nosed toe. $395
