Designer Trends

This dress is from Dior Winter 2010 line. Dior has managed to bring the girly floral chiffons of spring to the winter by adding over the knee boots and tailor jackets.
This show featured the best of English 1800s style with a modern twist.
Personally I think chiffons and florals should stay in the spring
So if you want that tailored English look for less go to forever 21, they have great separates that make perfection if paired with the proper pieces.
normally you would see this and its kinda ugly. no hanger appeal, no nothing.
but if you pair this sleeveless shirt dress with lace tights, ankle booted oxfords a button up underneath and an oversized open front sweater over it with cute dark framed glasses you have the perfect english look with a modern twist and more weather appropriate i would say.
oversized open face sweater from express

on the military wave

we all love Doc Martens but they can range in prices from $100- $150
Dr. Marten has done a line for Sanrio. Instead of spending over hundred dollars on a hello kitty military boot, make your own hello kitty inspired boots.
Steve Madden and Forever 21 have military boots ranging from $30- $75.
While creating ur inspiration think of buying the following craft goods:
  • glitter
  • ribbon
  • rhinestones
  • paint 
after you have chosen your idea. work with a hot glue gun to mold your look into fruition.
as a gift i used rhinestones for the toe part of the boot and red ribbon to make bows and place them on the outside edges of the boot. I did this on black leather forever 21 military style boot. 
no matter what your holiday needs, you can customize your gifts to ur friends intrests without breaking the bank.

we are reinventing the trench

we are bringing the trench coat style back but this time Express has brought us the trench with ruffles.
this cute coat is a whopping $128. which is a great price for the tailoring and ruffle work on the coat.
look out for online coupons and cyber monday sales to get great discounts on all the fabulous fashions you love.
if you think a trench coat is too light for the weather (its a 40 degrees in NYC) 
this ruffled coat also comes in a pea coat version made with warm wool.

happy shopping.
