Love ‘em or Leave ‘em: Takin’ it to the Streets. Fashion calamity or incredibly street chic– regardless of your thoughts, leggings are here to stay (sorry haters!).

We all saw the holiday season’s commercials spotlighting the latest scents manufacturers hoped we buy our boyfriends, girlfriends, friends, and mothers (and I dare say many did). Cha-ching $. A romantic-looking Kate Winslet posed for a Trѐsor commercial, a sculpted-abed model for Acqua Di Gio, even Britney and Kevin made a comeback for Brit Brit’s Fantasy. What’s on the agenda for 2010?

Dear Fashion Lovers, I write to you with renewed motivation. I just watched Rachael Zoe AGAIN on Tivo (Paris Fashion Week episode) and thus am experiencing a fashion “high” of sorts. It had just enough Chanel and Louis Vuitton to keep my mind reeling all night! As I try to get a grip, I’d like [...]

The proverb says you have to walk a mile in another man’s shoes to truly understand him. Our shoes have been with us through all of our journeys, whether as a source of comfort or of pain, symbolic of where we have been and where we are going.

Try on a pair of your typical department store jeans ($30-80 price range). Then sit down. How they look and feel while sitting may be completely different. Now, try on a pair of designer jeans. You get what you pay for. The cheaper jeans will feel like burlap in comparison. They’re painful when you squat/sit down digging into your waist and back of the knees.

Could the 1997 Bruce Willis flick have served as the muse for the latest couture swimwear? Or maybe Mr. Jean-Paul Gaultier, the film’s costume designer, was simply looking into his crystal ball when he created the famous white-bandage ensemble for actress and model Milla Jovovich. This season, Dsquared and Herve Leger swimwear models look strikingly [...]

Guess who just got back from Japan? Me, me, me! So, I am a travel junkie, but it finally occurred to me: some of you may appreciate a little info on the current trends on some of the fashion capitals of the world. Woohoo. Believe it or not, there’s more fashion beyond the Big Apple.
Read MoreAs a recent college graduate and new member of the corporate world, I requested gift cards to buy myself new work attire. I was looking forward to going to some of my favorite department stores to find some great pieces. So, one afternoon I dragged my fiancé to Kohl’s to aid in my search for [...]

Ok, guess- what do you think is THE most essential item in your closet? Great pair of jeans? Wrong. Basic black pumps? Wrong again. It’s an item not many see (or at least hopefully not but no judgment here). It’s your bra silly! Spend $100 if you have to- it’s worth the investment. Why? 1) [...]

I’m gonna go out on a limb and say I’m not the only one whose frustration intensifies when I see pictures of celebs traipsing around in killer heels (and when I say “killer,” it’s in a literal way). How do they do it? I’ve narrowed it down to three explanations: Their heels are photo shopped [...]

Read MoreFashion and beauty go hand-in-hand, right? It can even be argued that both (beauty and GOOD fashion) are in the eye of the beholder. I mean, on several accounts I have disagreed with Heidi, Michael, and Nina on which designer should be sent home and almost never do me and my girlfriends agree on which [...]
Read MoreWe just finished up another FABULOUS New York Fashion Week and we saw the good, the bad, and the ugly grace the runway. What are WFO’s favorite trends? Well let’s just say Scarlett O’hara was onto something when she had Mammy make her a head-to-toe green velvet frock (and out of drapes nonetheless).
Read MoreWhat’s next for fashion? Dressing in your undies! Okay, okay may be not so literally but Marc Jacobs, Valentino, and Christian Dior are just a few designers whose latest fashions are inspired by undergarments. Need me to be more specific? No problem. I’m talkin’ ‘bout lace shirts, tap shorts, and pj bottoms (yes pj bottoms!)
Read MoreTrend #1 - School girl look. Classier and more sophisticated than the Japanese school girl look. Trend #2 – Photoprints.

Your style is one thing you have COMPLETE control over, and who says you have to be bogged down by any one? (If you’re wishing this applied to boyfriends, that’s a whole other issue altogether). I hate to be the bearer of bad news but a lot of people that think they have a style truly don’t. What I mean is: how would you describe your look day-by-day?
Read MoreThe other day I got into a “philosophical” conversation about leggings with two coworkers, Dan and Danielle (shout out!). Miss Danielle’s poor eyes had just been scarred. She had spotted an unsuspecting fashion victim wearing leggings with a sweatshirt…a sweatshirt that didn’t cover the booty (gasp!). Luckily Dan and I were there to diffuse the [...]

I’m not quite sure what the Auld Lang Syne song means but if you “forget old acquaintances” be sure to remember our fashion forecast! It’s been said that “function is the new luxury.” Wooooooohoooooo FINALLY clothes every-day women can actually WEAR. Minimalism is in folks and like it or not the following trends are on [...]
Read MoreAt 5’6” 133 lbs I’ve always been, for the most part, happy with my appearance… north of my neck. If you were to ask me everything else is a COMPLETE and UTTER disaster. Call me crazy, but I have a feeling I’m not alone on this one. Women obsess over their bodies; it’s like a [...]
