Miley Cyrus Customized Siwy Jeans
Ah, the life of a celebrity never seems dull. At least that’s what the paparazzi show us on a daily basis. So when Miley Cyrus was spotted shopping at Maxfield, everyone was curious as to know what jeans she was wearing. They so happen to be a pair of customized Siwy Rose Drain Pipe Skinny Jeans, customized by stylist Simone Harouche. Harouche is also known for customizing jeans for Ashley Tisdale as well. I am all for distressed denim, I love the look which works so well with casual attire. However, I feel a bit ambivalent about Miley’s customized look. It looks a tad bit over processed & exaggerated. Distressed denim is definitely a trend that isn’t going anywhere any time soon, so we just have to get used to what is currently available in the market place. You already know DIY distressed denim is a favorite of mine….and costs far less. What do you ladies think of Miley’s customized Siwy jeans? Would you consider rocking them? Be sure to check out some of the various distressed looks after the jump!

2010 Fashion Trends
If you haven’t noticed the weather reports as of late, or felt the eerie bone chilling weather in your neck of the woods. Then that obviously means you’ve been snuggling up next to a warm heater with a big smile on your face. And if you’ve stepped foot out on the streets of NYC, during this arctic blast we all like to call the winter season, then you already know that women are bundling up from head to toe. The winter months are really a tricky considering that your own line of defense is your winter coat, warm boots, & other quintessential winter accessories. I totally doubt, if you take the chance to notice what anyone is wearing once that cold chill hits your brow. But what I’ve been noticing (behind the screen) is that some of our favorite celebrities have scrolled back into the archives on us. It’s all about the capes. And if you are thinking that you’d might look like a superhero instead of a fashion forward debutante, let me tell you right now that you’d better pause and reconsider the notion. And yes, I am well aware that there are some styles of capes that should be banned and never seen again. Oddly enough, those are usually the styles of capes that may be spotted on the backs of Lady Gaga or better yet Mischa Barton (seen above). So you’re probably wondering what good would a cape do for your winter/pre-spring wardrobe….right? And my answer is EVERYTHING! The hardest issue about the winter season, has to be the nightlife attire – and how to blend your outerwear with your inner-wear. Think about the many of occasions where you’ve been forced to wear a dress during the chilling days of the winter! Come on who want’s to be spotted wearing a bubble down coat with fancy attire? I’ve scanned the web for some of the more interesting looks to the today’s “caped theory”, so be sure to click your way through the list after the jump!

Simply because we anticipate what we’ll be receiving from our loved ones come Valentine’s Day. And if you are without a Valentine, there is no need to throw on the shade. How about trying to develop a warm spot for yourself….and splurge a little. But if you so happen to have a significant other, and are in need of throwing them a subtle hint – try spelling out Chanel. Every year many of our favorite brands create a small limited edition collection of holiday novelty products (as we already know). And Chanel has done it again, by giving us a dose of that quilted flavor that we’ve all grown to love. Think pink, quilted, and adorned in charms. Check out what Chanel has for us this coming Valentine’s Day after the jump!
