Fashion Tip of the Week .44 [Guys & Girls Edition]

So this week's entry is jam packed full of goodness. Lets get going!

Fashion Tip of the Week #44: So ladies and gents, after much research about whats coming in, the general consensus for fall-winter is that the knits are back!

Knits_ Im talking knits galore! Guys: Knit turtlenecks with extra ruffle-age and girls: wearing full on knit dresses. I know its hot right now but once it cools down you'll see alot of knits coming out. Girls, think, Daniel Vosovic's dress with pockets (thats a personal shout out to my girl Lauren) but knitted instead.
For references to knits, I would suggest browsing through Vogue/Elle.

Honorable mention goes to...
Napoleonic_ I've already mentioned this once and I'll mention it briefly again, peacoats peacoats peacoats! Brass and/or detailed emobroidery counts!
Fur trim_ People who LOVE Burberry, check out their latest campaign. If you are anti Napoleon then this is the direction you wanna head to. Parkas and Knee-length coats with fur trim or the simple A-line skirt with the fur trim on the bottom. Tres chic.

A small note for guys: The skinny is in for guys too! Its not longer tailored for girls only! Get into the groove and join the craze. Designers are throwing away those flared/wide leg jeans.
For references, I would suggest browsing through GQ.

Featured Item of the Week: So alot of the stuff I feature here are pretty expensive and as we all know, most of us cant afford it. So my featured item of the week is American Eagle's new underwear line for girls. Aerie is the name. And from what all my girl friends say about their underwear, its well worth taking a look into it. The best part about it... its affordable underwear that is quality. So check that out.

Check back next week for the next fashion tip! Always dress to look your best (Even if it's a pair of sweats and a tee)!

Fashion Tip of the Week #43: So girls, one of the biggest materials that are making a comeback for fall is velvet. Yes, velvet. You're probably thinking where did it go in the first place? But subtle hints of velvet here and there can go a long way!

If you arent into wearing full on velvet for fall, here is a cheaper alternative to what you will be seeing in this week's featured item of the week. So, here is a way to add a touch of class to your outfit. Take a ribbon of velvet and tie it around your waist below the bust line. Just like this top.

Featured Item of the Week: So we know that the obsession has been that girls should find ways to show their curves... Here is a guarantee to show that hour-glass figure. This patent leather belt from Tracy Reese which sells for $355.
