Wine is in fashion again. Not the stuff you drink but the stuff you wear. Runways are chock-a-block with wine colored creations. If you
The Russian Military unveiled a new line of uniforms, that according to all reports are quite fashionable. Other than these two photos I’m having a hard time finding anything, so if you come across something let me know in the comments. The uniforms were unveiled yesterday at fashion parade in the Defense Ministry by designer Valentin Yudashkin.
One fashion trend that should have stayed in hibernation is the cocoon silhouette. This trend hit the markets in 2007, partly inspired by the balloon styles which weren
Get ready for the circus as spring trapeze silhouettes swing back in style.
Trapeze is in no way a new trend and has seen its share of ups and downs throughout the years. The first designer to make a huge splash with the trapeze was a young Yves Saint Laurent who took over the Christian Dior line in 1958. He created an entire trapeze line that just blew away the Paris runway elite. The design is based on a tight shoulder and bodice which gradually extends into a flowing, full shape.

Need a quick break from your real life of frigid temperatures and holiday chaos? Then take a moment out to “Think Spring” - Neiman Marcus did.
The exclusive retail giant offered a sneak peek at some of Spring 2008’s Fashion Accessory Trends at their twice-yearly preview on Wednesday. And what did they find? A color pop!
The only prediction we’re not loving so far is the “gladiator” sandal trend, considering it is virtually impossible to create the illusion of never-ending legs with closed-up shoes. Hopefully this is one trend that will turn out better than we expected.
Hmmm…Is it Spring yet?

There have been many unusual fashion trends throughout the ages, and while most have come and gone, feathers seem to enjoy periodic resurgences - and this is one of those times.
Back at the fashion forefront once again, feathers are now being seen on handbags; as trim on dresses, sweaters and tanks; trimming gloves, scarves and hats, and even sometimes standing alone on skirts. While not usually noted for their wearability, feathers can add a fun and dramatic punch to an otherwise ho-hum ensemble, or they can jazz up an already look-at-me showstopper.
Obviously, to avoid looking like Big Bird’s Little Sis, feathers should be used sparingly and in the proper context. Unless you’re employed in the fashion industry, feathers generally do not have a place at work, nor are they completely appropriate in conservative instances. Otherwise, using feathers in accent pieces can be a fun foray into daring fashion.
Think you’d like to give them a try? Look for pieces with feathers in red, black or winter white. Combinations or variations of brighter colors stand out beautifully against black and pack a powerful punch. Try to avoid colors such as pumpkin orange, canary yellow, electric blue and kelly green, which tend to look more like craft store add-ons rather than sophisticated fashion enhancers.
If you’re already a feather fashionista, drop us a line to let us know how you wear your fluff. We’re always game for fresh takes on fabulous ideas.
From high style to everyday casual, mature and sophisticated to young and playful, knit dresses answer the call of women hoping to reign both warm and stylish this season.
Found in all price ranges, knits boast a level of allure that few runway looks can. A look suited for almost any woman, knits will be seen everywhere from the grocery store aisles to holiday balls. Here’s why:
The knit options shown above run the gamut, price-wise. You can find styles from top tier designers as well as at bargain retailers like Old Navy and Alloy. So cuddle up and enjoy the holidays and cold weather this season. With knits as toasty as these, even the most frightful of weather conditions will seem almost welcome.
The hottest thing on the catwalk for the fall/winter 2008 season is gloves. It doesn
If you are looking to add a few key pieces to your wardrobe this fall, be selective and make choices that are versatile yet follow the hottest fashion trends. Shop around and find items that you love. Choose chic fashions that can go from the office to a night out on the town.
Here, we take a look at some the hottest fashion items this season.
Fall Boots and Shoes
Suede Booties
Somewhere between the boot and the shoe, we find the bootie. Booties are a little shorter than ankle boots and come in a variety of fabrics and styles with every type of heel from stiletto to wedge. Right now, the trend in booties is all about texture. Look for booties in rich suedes, snake-embossed leather or slick patent.
These Christian Louboutin suede booties come in toffee brown and feature a fringed front and Louboutin’s signature red heel. You can find these booties at Neiman Marcus. These are a luxury choice at $1145.
Menswear-Inspired Lace-Up Pumps
Lace-up pumps are extremely popular this season. Here is one of my favorites for fall - the Claudia Ciuti Luella Oxford. The lace-up style is indicative of the menswear-inspired trend. However, the thin heel, pointy toe and shiny patent leather keeps them feminine. These pumps are available at Nordstrom for $332.
Of a similar vein are these Bally Glania Oxfords. This pair is built for comfort, featuring a rounded toe and a stacked heel. They are also at Nordstrom and are slightly more expensive at $575.
Grey Peep-Toes
From footwear to headwear, grey is dominating the runways and shops this season. Choose peep-toe shoes in various shades of grey from cement to charcoal. Grey is a versatile neutral that can be worn with just about anything. You can wear a pair of grey peep-toe pumps with everything from a basic black pantsuit to a jewel-tone print dress. These light grey slingbacks from Fendi feature a platform sole and cute peep-toe. You can get them from eLuxury for $605.
Fall Pants
Wide-Leg Pants
From slacks to jeans, the look for fall is wide-leg pants. It looks like low-rise pants are gone as the new wide-leg styles also feature a high waist. Wear wide-leg pants with a crisp white button down shirt or fitted sweater for an up-to-date look. Don’t wear anything baggy up top, or it will just weigh down the whole outfit. Wide-pants are usually not flattering on short women. Therefore, you might want to skip this trend, or look for pants that aren’t too wide, if you are under 5′3.
Cropped Pants
In the past, many women just wore cropped pants in warm weather months. Now we are seeing cropped pants in twill, tweed, wool and other winter fabrics. This season, choose cropped pants in brown, gray and olive. Wear them with thin layered sweaters and a pair of boots. These herringbone cropped pants from Barrie Pace are on sale at the moment for just $99.
Fall Skirts and Dresses
Bubble Dresses/Tulip Skirts
Bubble dresses and tulip skirts are in this season. These styles don’t look very flattering on the hanger. But when you try them on, they are very cute. They can disguise problem areas such as thick thighs or a little tummy. Look for bubble dresses and skirts in a variety of fabrics from velvet to satin. These styles are particularly cute in jewel tones such as sapphire blues, ruby reds and emerald greens. But they also look great in basic neutrals, as well as shocking brights like orange and yellow.
Wrap Dresses
The wrap dress looks great on most figure types. These dresses are popular this season in stretch jersey knits. At Nordstrom, you can find a wide selection of wrap dresses, including this JS Collection stretch wrap dress. At only $168, it would make a great edition to your wardrobe. It’s a simple style that can be made a lot more glamorous by pairing it with glitzy jewelry and other accessories.
Fall Tops
Feminine Blouses
Tops stay frilly and feminine this fall with unique necklines and billowy sleeves. Look for blouses in lace, satin and other fine fabrics. This Nanette Lepore Hollywood blouse features puffed 3/4 length sleeves and a v-neck. It comes in winter white for a chic, stylish look. This satin blouse is $310 at Neiman Marcus.
Tunic Sweaters
Long tunic sweaters are very hot this fall. These sweaters can be worn over leggings or with a mini-skirt and tights. You can wear them casually loose or with a belt for a more pulled-together look. This metallic tunic sweater from Spiegel features a deep v-neck and raglan sleeves. It’s on sale right now for only $39 from Spiegel.com.
Fall Headwear
Patent Headbands
Pull your hair back in style with a patent headband. These thick headbands are very hot for fall. This Burberry quilted patent headband comes in both black and berry and is available at Neiman Marcus for $125.
Newsboy Caps
The newsboy cap is an old school style that stays fresh this fall in prints and textured fabrics. This Eugenia Kim Newsboy from Bluefly.com features a tan and black houndstooth pattern that is sure to turn heads. It’s on sale right now for only $67.99.
When shopping this season, don’t buy a piece just because it’s trendy or refuse to buy it just because it’s not. Instead choose pieces that you love and become a trendsetter yourself!
We don’t mean to evoke nightmarish Flashdance images here, but guess which 80’s trend is making a monster comeback? Yep, legwarmers. Can you believe it? It seems so hard to believe that these puppies are making a second go-’round already. Thankfully, this time designers have ix-nayed the mega-slouch look in favor of a more refined cut. And yes, you’ll find all sorts of crazy colors and patterns, but those are balanced with classic knit styles and neutral colors, similar to the pair above from Hollister. (more…)
Hairstyles for 2007 have been about strength and bold statements. This trend continues through fall and winter seasons with a little more spice added to the color choices.
