Fashion Trend: Floral Print Heels

May 6, 2009 07:00 AM | Comments (1) | Posted in Fashion+Beauty

What: Apparently, everyone’s adding a little spring to their step - with floral print heels.

What We Say: Floral prints in general tend to come and go, whereas floral print heels are a bit more timeless. They go with just about everything, though we suggest pairing them with solids, not other patterns. The rule of thumb is- the busier your shoes, the simpler the rest of your outfit should be - and vice versa. For those who are a little weary of this seasons’ floral print trend, flowery heels are a great, subtler alternative to printed blouses and dresses. We’ve got some affordable ...

Holey Jeans: Yea or Nay?

May 4, 2009 07:00 AM | Comments (7) | Posted in Fashion+BeautyYea or Nay

It’s probably safe to assume that holey jeans were an accident; someone somewhere fell down, ripped their jeans, and thought “uh oh… wait, that looks cool.” But many of the world’s greatest inventions were accidents, so that’s not saying much. The holey jean phenomenon—new expensive jeans that look worn out and used, on purpose—is back; just look at this selection at American Eagle. Whether you paid top dollar for them at the stores or sliced and diced them yourself, you’ve been guilty of sporting see-through jeans at least once in your lifetime.

What is it we love about these torn up ...

The Asymmetrical Dress: Spring Fashion Trend

April 10, 2009 07:00 AM | Comments (2) | Posted in Fashion+Beauty

What: Asymmetry returns as a the dress silhouette for spring . . .
What We Say: Like most of the trends for spring, this one is really nothing new—asymmetrical/one shoulder dresses have been hovering at the edge of the fashion radar for awhile now, but when Michelle Obama selected the style for her inauguration ball gown, she pretty much guaranteed the trend a place in the spring fashion statement rotation. While we’re not sure this look is for everyone (Mrs. O, after all, has some pretty fab shoulders, as the style requires) we think if you have the physique, it’s totally worth ...

The Ruffle Pump: Spring Fashion Trend

April 9, 2009 07:00 AM | Comments (2) | Posted in Fashion+Beauty

“SOME PRODUCTS ARE NO LONGER BEING SOLD”

What: Feminine ruffles soften the edges of the classic pump this spring . . .

What We Say: As much as we stand by the classic pump, a little fun update never hurts—and this spring, the embellishment du jour is the ruffle. The downside? Next season it will NOT be the ruffle, meaning we’ll indulge but won’t spend more than we have to (we’d suggest spending no more than $30 on a pair). The great thing about an embellished shoe, from our budget fashion standpoint, is that it takes the pressure off the rest of your wardrobe—slip into your basics (a ...
