Fashion Tip of the Week .31

So I spent an hour working on this fashion tip and with just a click, boom, all of it gone! So imma just go with one runway.

Fashion Tip of the Week #31: So y'all pay attention to this runway. This is for both boys and girls. These looks are what y'all need to look at for the fall 2006. This perhaps one of my favorite collections from this Ready-to-wear season.

Adam Eve - 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8

If you see repetitve looks, then you gotta look at the other person. Some photos, I chose for the guys some for the girls. Just look around. Key things to look at this collection: vests, layering (proper), dresses, shoes, and pants. Enjoy! and next time i will cover more than just one.

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 .30

So YES! How exciting... a brand new tip. AND IT IS EXCLUSIVE! WOOHOO! So man... i know its been awhile. So what is soooo special about this then the others besides the PHOTOS galore that ull see that I HAVE A PODCAST!!! So if you have an iPOD. ull be able to hear it [note: im still working out the kinks and hopefully it works!]. So lets get started!

Fashion Tip of the Week #30: Because this show is a fan favorite to many fashionistas, Project Runway has inspired me to really analyze one runway that I found proven to be very wearable. Im talking about Daniel Vosovic. His runway included great outfits perfect for the business woman. This is inspiration to all of my friends who are about to graduate from college. Girls these are some of the looks ull wanna get. Why dont you put aside those simple suits and look into something more like this!

[Warning: if you dont wanna see this runway because you are in an avid project runway watcher, these contain spoilers]

1 - This outfit spices up the traditional pencil skirt with a floral print jacket with slight embroidery. This spring season keys in on embroidery (reference to past journal entries) and modern updates on classic looks.

2 - Military outfits are back in. You see the shoulder panels? Well those are key elements. Simple blouses can be turned into tops for work really work and can slim down a figure! Once again, emphasis on the pencil skirt

3 - Despite weather conditions in any location, EVERY GIRL should have a peacoat. This one, is very flattering to the woman's body and flares out. Emphasis on the double breasted for a more slimming look and a taller collar. Great great great!

4 - The black dress is BACK IN! Ladies ladies, join this bandwagon now if you havent. Simple black cocktail dresses are the IN thing. Every girl needs to have one and the best part about this... you can wear them casually!

5 - The knit satin top is back in. This protruding white top is an updated look of the ballet top. (Although the girl looks like she is drunk or something).

6 - Top is horrible...lets analyze the pleated skirt. If one is gonna wear a pleated skirt then it is HIGHLY recommended that skirt ends ABOVE the knees. The waist band should is perfect sized and something you take a look at.

Okay so these looks... are KEY to this spring-transition to-fall wardrobe. You may feel that my selection is a little bit drab but these KEY pieces selected above are perfectly capable of casual wear. YES, CAUSAL WEAR! You will see that you can combine a simple pencil skirt with a vintage top. Or a peacoat with cropped pants.

Be fashion forward and go ahead of the crowd. You have the idea now make it happen. By the one that sets the chic trend.

Fashion Tip of the Week .29

So i wasnt planning on putting one up this week because well, ive been busy with midterms and shtick. But since this is really a present for Aly (happy bday girl!) cuz i know she just loves my tips. So a lot is going on in the fashion world this week. Olympus Fashion Week is going on and there is just tons and tons to sort through! I'll update y'all later on that once things settle down for me. So since its a crossover right now for winter/spring collections, why dont I just tell you what you should look out for Spring

Fashion Tip of the Week #29: Here are the trends right now for spring.

_Bold prints - So, I must admit to amber, yes you were right bold prints like flowers are in. But with a little bit of lightness and more flow prints to it. Designers for spring went for the bold patterns and states to evoke a feeling. Ex: 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6

_The innocents - This category includes eyelets, lace, openwork embroidery, and white dresses. If you have those peasant skirts waiting in the closets, take them out and alter it and make a cute dress out of it! Ex: 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6

_The Kimono - So Asian fashions are back and movies like Memoirs and 2046 inspired many designers to go asian on this one. Ex: 1, 2

_The New Sexy - Cocktail dresses, slits and bandage dresses seem to make a new statement. Ex: 1, 2, 3, 4, 5

_The Reinvented Pantsuit - This doesnt mean you go all power-bitch on everyone. Soft lines create femininity and sexyness. Ex: 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6

_Shirtdressing - Double breasted shirts/jackets, boyfriend shirt-steelers are finding reason to wear their shirts outside. Ex: 1, 2, 3 (OO btw, for the casual look, girls take a t-shirt [long in length], take a thick belt and wrap it around your waist [not thighs] and a denim mini and you are set)

So I hoped this helped out. You have an idea of what you might wanna look at wearing.
