3 Key Trends For The Fall

Urban Outfitters came out with a bunch of new items this week. I spotted three that are right on trend for the fall. Click on each image to find out the price!

1. Fur
Rachel Zoe will tell you that nothing makes you feel more like a lady than a dead animal fur strung over your shoulders. However, I think faux fur will work just as well. Here we have a cardigan with fur lining. It looks ridiculously warm but still stylish:


2. Tulle Skirt
Every girl has dreamed about becoming a ballerina. This Fall, women everywhere will be slapping on a pair of tights and rocking a short tulle skirt. This Betsey Johnson skirt incorporates the floral trend but also adds a rocker twist with the lacing in front:

3. African Print
We just saw this trend on the Spring 2010 Marc by Marc Jacobs runway but we will be seeing it all throughout the Fall. The African print usually encompasses beautiful patterns and an abundance of colors:
So get ready to see these three trends walking down every city street.

Music Intermission - Part Deux

Ha. Sorry I HAD to post this song. Paolo's voice gives me goosebumps:

Music Intermission

Sorry for not updating recently, I will definitely make it up to you guys! I will leave you with a Robyn video because she always makes me happy and I wish she would come out with new music sometime soon. But enjoy one of my favorite songs ever:

BEST DRESSED - Emmys!

Let's just get right into it guys!

My top five best dressed at the Emmys!

1. Mila Kunis blew my mind when I saw her ethereal maroon Monique Lhuiller dress:

2. It was a close call, but January Jones took the runner-up spot in this futuristic Atelier Versace dress. Absolutely perfection:

3. Ginnifer Goodwin looked like a pixie godess in this purple Yves Saint Laurent dress. So adorable!:

4. Sandrah Oh has never ever looked this amazing in her golden Marchesa dress w/ matching rope belt to accentuate her waist. Great job Ms. Oh:

5. Lastly, Blake Likely did what she does best: show her boobs and leggy limbs. Usually I'm not a fan but her long braid pulled the whole look together:

There was one horrible dress at the Emmys and it belonged to the unfunny Sarah Silverman. It was so unflattering and the blue is such a dreadful contrast to her pale skin.

Fun times!

Fashion Week Review: Part Three

Ok guys, let me finish my Fashion Week Review. I have many more collections to spotlight.

Alexander Wang's Spring 2009 collection was definitely one of my favs last year. He does downtown better than anyone. And with this collection the downtown kids will still have much to be happy about. But even above 14th street, there will still be many happy customers:

Anna Sui. Ok I'll admit. I'm just not a fan of hers. I'm not sure why. I think she's ridiculously overrated. Her pieces seems to lack imagination and are very repetitive. BUT, she has proven me wrong this time around. She found obviously inspiration in paisley and the 60s:

Caroline Herrera is a lady. I would say Michael Kors and her have a monopoly on making women look classy and dignified. You guys know what I mean. Well this season Ms Herrera, like Jason Wu, went younger but kept that lady element that she does so well. It was shorts and color galore:

Ports 1961 collection can only be described as clothing that belongs in a dream. Whimsical, beautiful and refreshing.

I know most of you guys watch Rachel Zoe's show on Bravo. The stylist seems to always be freaking out about trying to find ballroom gowns for her clients. Let me just say, RZ, Badgley Mischka has solved ALL your problems. Party dresses, Oscar gowns, and vacation wear...the boys knew exactly what they were doing with this hit collection:


Btw, I'm totally not finished with my Fashion Week review. I haven't spoken about Preen, Proenza, Rodarte OR Calvin Klein. More is soon to come!

For some reason Rachel Zoe's catchphrases kept popping in my head after I saw Marc Jacob's Marc by Marc Jacob's collection. It went something like this: "OMG! That African print dress is BANANAS! Or how about those heart covered shorts?? I DIED! And if my boyfriend dressed like that, he would Shut It Down."

Ok I'm finished. Sorry about that. But yes. It was that good. It was fun. Hip. Colorful. Sometimes you see a collection and you know that 95% of the pieces fits into your aesthetics...and let me say, Marc by Marc Jacobs Spring 2010 definitely fits into that category. African prints, large bows, color, color and more color. I loved it. Enjoy:
