Fashion Expert Tip: How to Start Your Own Trends
Start your own trends and remain way ahead of the curve. Use the cues that trend forecasters like David Wolfe use—observe the cultural, economic, and social factors affecting society. For example, popularity of California based shows (mini-skirts and Ugg boots) and recent nasty weather in the east coast (Rubber boots and fur coats).
Turn To The Streets. Fashion Designer often turns to the streets to find inspiration for their collections. Marc Jacobs hit big in Spring 2001 with his Steven Sprouse graffiti designed bags by Louis Vuitton. Juicy Couture sweat suits, bear an eerie ...

Read MoreThe Perfect Ten: Ten Things That Should Be in Every Woman’s Closet
It’s spring and most of us are starting to prepare for the big closet change-over. I started last week and I have a ton of things I’m selling on eBay and via my secret consignment shop weapon. As always, I double check to make sure I have at least these ten basic things in my wardrobe.
There are ten things every Budget Fashionista must have in her closet.
- Black Suit. Either matching black skirt or black pants. Made out rayon material.
- White Cotton Dress Shirt. This is an important closet staple and can be both trendy (wear underneath your favorite t-shirt) and classic (wear it ...
Kohl’s—The Alternative to Target
Somewhere between fashion-forward Target and fashion-confused K-Mart lies Kohl’s Department store. Growing up in the midwest, I remember Kohl’s mostly as a grocery store and then later as the department store where I begged my mother to purchase me a Miss Piggy Muppet Doll. Recently Kohl’s has started to emerge as a fashion force for those who may be intimidated by Target’s youth obsessed hipness. Items at Kohls are both accessible and cute. Kohls also has the best children’s department, far better than Target, whose children’s clothing tend to make your seven-year-old look like a mini ...

Read MoreGirlshop Moves Offline
It seems that everyone is trying to follow Bluefly.com’s recent foray into the offline shopping territory. The ever popular online shopping store, Girlshop, has just opened a store in the meatpacking district. I’ve yet to check it out, but I imagine it is filled with goodies from Amy Chan and Lotta—perfect for the “subversive socialite” set.

Read MoreThe Budget Fashionista’s Fashion Queen Team
Fashion Queens are a special breed of folk with way too must style for any one gender. There is a difference between a drag queen (someone who styles themselves based on a particular female idea) and Fashion Queen (who styles themselves based on a particular fashion idea). I love Fashion Queens because they have this uncanny ability to mix both the masculine and feminine forms of fashion together in sort of like a gender bending style soup. If you’ve never met a Fashion Queen before, head to your nearest gay bar—their the ones sitting at the bar with perfectly arched eyebrows, manicured ...
