Fashion Tip of the Week .36

So i recently went up to Melrose to go vintage clothing shopping. And I was truly inspired by some of the people that were walking on the street. And much the mod look is being mixed very well with the prep look. So i know this is out of the ordinary for me and for y'all but i want you to be open about embracing these "looks".

Fashion Tip of the Week #36: So like I said, I would be addressing the jean issue this week. Im not going to give a full account as of right now but i will in future postings.

The big thing now for denim girls, SKINNY LEG jeans. Yup, alot of retail stores are finding that many girls are ditching the boot cut (which is considered unflattering to some). The whole jean tucked in the boot/stilettos (or chucks/vans) are a HUGE!

directions for photos: http://www.habitual.com/ click on 'Habitual Classics' > 'Content' at the bottom right > then click on 'View Skinny Glory' or if you are that lazy then look at these jeans.

Think of the look as from the movie "Grease". When wearing skinny jeans, I suggest wearing loose or very tight tops. Such as these: 1, 2, 3, 4, 5

So now you have this look. gluck, and i apologize now if this tip doesnt suit to your taste. gluck!

Fashion Tip of the Week .35 [Girls & Guys Edition]

Stemming from last week's successful FTOW I thought I do another one just like that for y'all!

Fashion Tip of the Week #35: Top 3 Key Pieces for the remaining spring/summer wardrobe!

Men:
1_ Start looking out guys, distressed khakis are the new thing. A modern take on a classic piece.
2_Pair these marni shorts with chucks or slip ons and rock it with your fav tee. Perfect for not looking like a slob.
3_Our answer to the woman's fixation with leopard print. Need I say more?

Women:
1_ The oversized tote. You get the idea.
2_ The cropped jean. Cuffed is even better! Match them up with a layered top or rock it out with a vintage t-shirt. [Recommended brands: 7 for all mankind; Chip and Pepper; Joe Jeans]
3_ Rocker chic. The motorcycle is the way to go. And did i mention, it makes you look slim?! There is something about these types of jackets that make a girl slim in all the right places!

So good luck! And remember...

Fashion Tip of the Week. 34 [Girls & Guys Edition]

Okay girls and guys that time of the week again where u get ur fashion fix! So ive received some complaints that guys dont get enough tips so here is a double one for all!

Fashion Tip of the Week #34: Lets get this started off with guy's top trends for this spring/summer!

GUYS:
1) Nautical look. Bust out those blue blazers and look into big bold stripes in shirts and sweaters. (or look 2, 3)
2) Tommy Bahama look. Very cool, chic, casual.
3) Desert rag, urban explorer. This look is inspired by the sand dunes. You see where im going with this.
4) This next look is dedicated to my friend Jay. Black on black. Black tie over black collared shirt. You get the idea. Think Johnny Cash.
5) Simple piece. Shorter jacket lengths.
6) A simple corporate suit doesnt hurt. Some of you might know this photo from The Transporter
7) Casual Chic. Simple casual pieces with dressy pieces.
8) The rebel. This look entails the rugged pieces. Simple henleys, with denim and boots. And a motorcycle jacket wouldnt hurt either!


GIRLS:
Fall is all about dark and rich colors.
Key fall pieces: All looks are by Luca Luca
1) The coat. Going back to my older recommendation to have a peacoat. Of course this is an exaggeration of that.
2) The plaid dress intrepreting the colors of fall. Simply beautiful and a must have.
3) Again with the colonial american look.
4) Poofy endings on tops. the top is very reminescent of a top that my friend recently bought from Jimmy'Z.
5) LACE LACE AND SOME MORE EMBROIDERY!
6) For the business women in all of you. The pink top softens the rich colors of the pants.

Again I would like to note that these looks arent restricted just to finding the exact same pair. experiment with different wool pants and such. Or use ones that you already have! These looks are templates for you all to go out and find something similar. And hopefully for a much less considerable price! Gluck. And if u have any questions. send it along. ill help ur fashion dilemma!
