Wood Works!!!!!!!

The Classic

Last weekend I explored my own closet and stumbled upon a pair of classics that are on par with the Wood Sole/ 70's trend for this Summer...My very cute, red, Dr. Scholls-forever destined to be a classic! Well, with that I was inspired to look more into this trend, of which I was pleasantly surprised at how many of my fav's were now on sale-always a Win!!! The big look right now is the FlatForm, like this one from Vena Cava! The wood bottom adds a simple, chic look and not to mention, comfy ( I know that's hard to imagine, but trust me they are) look to jazz up your Summer wardrobe! These from Madison Harding would be great with this peasant skirt (on sale at Anthro as we speak, with an additional 25% off) or this pair of wide leg jeans-So reminiscent of Charlie' Angels-what great styling those ladies had! Here are a few more looks from Shopbop to get your wood works in motion!!!

Pep Up Your Wardrobe...Peplum Dressing!!!!!!!!!

Fall 09 continues to take it back to the 80's!!! What's up next in hot trends...Peplum Dresses! What?? Think tulip skirts, with a twist. It's almost as if you are wearing a bib on the bottom! Sounds a little strange, but oh sooo cute and very lady-like chic! All the hot girls are sporting this look; which is not just limited to dresses, but can be found on skirts and even jackets!!!! Im not really feeling the look on pants, just yet, but Im sure some innovative designer will find a way to change my mind. In the meantime, check out some creative selections by Tracy Reese, Fluxus, and Keen. All looks can be found at Anthropologie, Revolve Clothing, and Pixie Market!!!!

Get ready, get Pepped!!! In your Peplum Dress!!!!

Short and Simple!!!!!

As the air warms and summer takes shape, shed the layers and add a short to your wardrobe! Shorts are fun and playful, but can also be sexy and chic! Shorts are what's hot for summer '09! If you've got great, Tina Turner legs or even working on getting fab legs, there are many flattering lengths to satisfy any shape! From daisy duke, to paper-bag waist, to French Riviera, floral prints. So many styles, colors, and lengths to pick from....Skies the limit, but keep it simple, especially if you are over 30, like myself! Here are some fun options for all ages, sizes, and shapes!!! Styles featured here can be found at shopbop, Target.com, Anthropologie, Forever21, Cusp, and Pixie Market.

Expo-Zip!!!!!!!!!!!!

Zippers on the outside???? Oh, yes! Exposed zippers are whats in and chic for the season! Marc by Marc Jacobs featured them in his fall 08 collection and its a oh so hip to zip, if I do say so myself!!! Another throwback to the 80's, think Michael Jackson's red "Beat It" jacket with a twist!!!! Here are some looks Im loving! From miniskirts to leggings, you can just about find a zipper on the outside of anything! Oh, and check out Nordstrom.com for a ton of Marc by MJ on sale NOW!!!!!! Go ahead and expose a little Zipper!!!!!!!!!! Now Beat it! Just Beat it!

CreativiTee!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Tee Shirt dressing is the hottest, must have for early fall wear!!! This casual style trend can be found on all the latest trendsetters and looks great paired with leggings, slouchy boots, ballet flats, or end of the summer gladiators!!!! What I love about T-Shirt dressing is the fact that the look can be worn on just about any shape and can easily be transformed with the help of a cute skinny or wide belt or a little chain bling!!!!!! Simple and Chic...That's the way to go!!! Check out the looks that I found at Shopintuition.com(take 10% off for Labor Day) and PixieMarket.com(love this store). And for the the more budget conscience fashionista, try American Apparel, for all things Tee!!! Ooh, and they just opened a store in Georgetown; cant wait to check it out!!!!
