What is there to say about all things metallic?  It’s everywhere of course! Whether it is seen on tanks, jackets, leggings, & skirts – trend forecasters and designers can’t seem to get enough.  It’s no big secret that metallic dresses are indeed show stoppers all by themselves, without being accompanied by accessories.  Out of all of the Fall 2010 RTW collection, Balmain has taken center stage on the trend – giving many of us potential red carpet looks that may be seen on celebrities for the upcoming future. However, while many of us are not celebrities, so let’s adapt to the trend on a more modest note.
I’ve personally got my eyes fully in tune with this season’s trend in addition to my personal taste.  The Killah Metallic Print Jersey Mini Dress (now: $37.07) takes the cake, making room for minimal accessories and a pair of hot lace-up booties.  I’m also …

As the summer almost comes to a close, our mind is set on taking full advantage of this falls upcoming trends. We can all agree that many of our beloved trends tend to repeat their appearance throughout the year. Case & pure fact, camel hues are one of the many trends revised during the pre-spring & fall seasons. This timeless colorway has found itself perfectly matching against textured accessories, chunky knits, outerwear, boots, structured dresses, pants, and now denim.
There is a benefit & challenge of incorporating this classic hue into your wardrobe. The key is to keep your potential camel-clad ensemble(s) fresh & refined – without going too overboard.  Michael Kors give NYFW onlookers his take on the camel trend last February, by mixing seductive camel hued knits against matching colored slouchy boots.  The colorway followed suit by showing its full potential on outerwear & blazers.  We’ve sat down and …

The fall has to be one of those seasons, where you can put darker hues to good use. Whether it is on the fashion forefront or of the beauty scene – darker colors make their mark! If you can recall, this past spring the theme was to follow in bold neutral hues. Taupe hues reigned supreme continuing on into the summer. This fall we can expect to see a series of rich colorways such as grey, purple, & deep reds to take the scene over. So let’s focus on one of my (personal) favorite colors – grey! This fall grey nail enamel has found itself on the runways of Rag & Bone, Catherine Malandrino, & Oscar De La Renta (just to name a few) Fall ’10 Collections.
Chanel worked the grey nail trend last year during the Spring 2010 runway show, now the trend has found itself back on …

Velvet has been somewhat a staple piece for the fall and winter season. In the last three years, many of us have seen the endless possibilities of where velvet can incorporate itself in our wardrobes. Velvet has such a rich texture all by itself, many stylists and fashion goers have been on-trend, by missing basic pieces against this silk textile. This fall designers have used vivid color palettes such as blue (seen above from the Charlotte Ronson Fall RTW collection), to help kick start the upcoming season. You’re probably wondering how you can work velvet into your future autumn looks – right? I (personally) think that the look of velvet should be used sparingly to create a cohesive outfit. Tuxedo jackets are always worked on various body-types, whether it be for a daytime or nighttime looks. D&G has one of this season’s best tuxedo jackets (price: …

The season has finally arrived, where we are almost ready to pack away our minimalistic summer garbs – and where we break out our favorite autumn pieces. Women have checked off on their autumn must buys, and I have been eagerly awaiting the “just ins” on this seasons military looks. I am definitely a fan of the army green persuasion! Give me a utility jacket, some boyfriend jeans, basic heather gray t-shirt, and some oxfords and I am ready to go. And while I still embody my tomboyish set, I‘ll gladly marvel at some of the super feminine military looks that many designers have made possible. When the term “military” comes into play with fashion – naturally we tend to automatically think about the structured look of it all. Be advised that designers have stepped out of bounds to make the trend work well with pretty much anything that your …
