Your Boyfriend's Blazer

Have you seen in fashion magazines and on every movie-star, large, over-sized blazers? Well, that is the new trend of the "boyfriend blazer".
They can be many different lengths, with shoulder pads and without, double-breasted or not, and are even better if they are actually snagged from your guy's closet!
From what I have observed in magazines and on women around Atlanta, the rules to follow with this trend are, there are no rules!
They can be paired with just about anything like:
1. leggings and a silk top
2.mini skirt, tights and boots
3. Your boyfriend's jeans and layered t-shirts paired with a great pair of ballet flats.
Don't forget to accessorize with this trend, I am noticing that this Fall, more is more when it comes to accessories.
Throw on layers of long necklaces around your neck and bangles on your wrist and you will be ready to hit the town!
Have fun with this trend and you can see a wide variety of boyfriend blazers and more ideas on how to wear them at www.urbanoutfitters.com

Hosiery 101

This morning on the Today Show on their segment Today's Style, Avril Graham the Executive Fashion Director at Harper's Bazaar discussed the new popularity of hosiery.
Saying, "it's one way to update your wardrobe with a minimal amount of money."

1. Retro-seam tights: easy and any style skirt works, looks best with a high heal
2. Polka dot: playful look, yet still sophisticated. The 80's are coming back from all directions.
3. Black Lace: stay simple on the rest of your look to pull this off. Perfect accent to a little black dress and simple black heels. Works great for any age group and any figure-type.
4. Fishnet Tights: don't think of this as only a night look, looks great for day with a nice pair of heals and conservative trench coat.
5. Grommet Tights: look awesome with ankle boots, sort of the "biker chic" look and may work best for the younger crowd.

Isn't it great that we can wear hosiery again and it's fashionable and trendy! Go from the runway to the streets.
