On The Fringe- Memories Of My Little Lilac Bag

As promised from yesterday's post, here is part two of the fringe trend madness. This is my own bag purchased by me and I was saving to review it after posting my "Club Shopping" writeup since it was purchased with my membership at JustFab but until I'm finished writing that post here is the bag.

Since this was my first time buy as a member I received a discount and it was on sale for half price which I believe totaled around $20. Normally I'm not into no brand handbags because I feel if your ever going to splurge on pieces you should save up for high-end bags and shoes. The quality is better, they last you longer and are making a long term wardrobe investment.

ODE TO MY LOST LILAC BAG...

There is a really semi-quasi cute story behind why I wanted this fringe bag when I saw it on the website. During my tween years brands such as Jordache, Sergio Valenti and Sassoon where very popular. As a matter of fact they were considered high-end back then. It's not like now when teens "must" wear designer names such as Gucci, Diesel or what not because labels weren't really a big thing. Fashion was more about how you put together your look and not a designers label on your back. You young-ins are super spoiled these days...

Anyway, my mother bought me this adorable lilac bucket bag with these really really really long skinny straps. It had ruching and was pleather as almost everything was back in the eighties. They were very popular and came in every single shade you could think of and wherever you looked on the street a teenager was sporting one. They weren't even expensive, like $5 or something and my mother made me beg for it because she is so cheap! Whatever, we weren't going  to leave that dingy boutique without her buying me that bag. And we didn't... Lola get's what Lola wants... Well....most of the time...  

What I can't remember for certain if it was a Jordache or Sassoon bag? And I have been looking in vintage shops and online for years just to see if I could find one, but no luck. You see, one day we went shopping and as we were at the checkout line to pay I noticed my bag wasn't on my shoulders anymore. I looked in the grocery cart, all over the market carefully retracing my steps but it was no use. Some douche stole it off my shoulders without me noticing because the string was super skinny and lightweight you wouldn't be able to notice if someone were touching it. I cried so hard all the way home my poor eyelids were the size of gumballs! I know, it's stupid but who steals a little girly purse in the middle of the day at the supermarket? Did they think I had millions tucked away in my little lilac bag? The entire contents consisted of one bubblegum roller-ball lip gloss from Woolworth's, a unicorn makeup mirror, a green Menudo pen with an over-size cap featuring a young baby Ricky Martin as the leader of the group as well as a fresh crisp $20 bill that my sweet little Nana had given me hours before. 

Not all was lost from that experience because from then on I always wore my purse over my shoulder or tightly gripped over my wrist and on my lower arm. No bag has ever been taken from me since and I pity the fool who try's to take a bag from me ever again.  Does anyone know the bag I'm talking about? 

Well, now you know why I had to have this when I came across it. It looks almost similar except for the fringe, hardware and heftiness of the bag. This bag is made with better construction, is roomy, has extra pockets in the back and I love that it carries this 80's vibe to it.  Writing this I'm discovering  how over sentimental I am, yuck for me. What's great is that this didn't cost me a lot and the material is pleather! Designer versions of this bag which are very hot right now start at $250 and up and if it weren't for my wishy washy childhood memories of my stolen little lilac bag I probably would have passed this one right by. TRUE STORY. Stay beautiful! XOXO

FAll 2011-FRINGE, FEATHER'S & FUR

shhh... a sneak peek of my fringe purse review-post coming tomorrow

Firstly, I wish everyone had a super spectacular Labor Day Weekend! Can you believe the summer has come and gone? This summer was neither wow nor ugh! but rather a lukewarm blah for me. Oh well there is always next year...

At least now we can enthuse ourselves with Fall 2011 Fashion Trends. And it seems to be gearing up for a fashionable season where anything goes in terms of colors, silhouettes and styles. With a varied assortment of stylish elements to add to your wardrobe, the question left to ask is what's a girl to choose? Strangely enough I can't recall a season where there has been such an eclectic mix of contrasting trend elements happening all at once such as Mod, feminine frills, lace, rich dark Gothic (not the street wear type), sexy bondage, flapper, fringe, feathers, leathers, animal prints, furs, remnants of seventies glamour and my absolute favorite of the moment- the return of the feminine suit. With a plethora of looks for your heart's pickings, this fall promises to be anything but boring. Even though there are many trendy components happening all at once they seem to nicely mesh and tie in with each other making it easy for you to incorporate several of these trends at the same time.  For example: the flapper look, feathers and fringe all go hand in hand. As well as Mod, fur and color-blocking trend equally working well together. Now all you have to do is figure out which personality wardrobe you'll choose.

Let's discuss a few trends you can start incorporating into your look right now with some classic quintessential cool weather transitional basics of fur, fringe and feathers. 

Fur- always a designer & stylist go to piece for fall accessorizing adding richness, warmth and glamour to any drab outfit. For instance, take a basic boring wool coat and turn up the notch with a beautiful soft fur collar. And fur is exceptionally hot this season being seen everywhere you look from shoe trim, handbags to jewelry. I suggest you go with some affordable faux fur pieces not only to save you money but to help keep our little animal friends safe. You won't have a hard time finding anything fur related in boutiques and outlet malls alike this winter whatever budget you may be on.

Feathers- following strong right behind fur is the feather trend and it also goes hand in hand with the flapper look you will be seeing plenty of this season. Feathers are another great way to accessorize your look for less. And you don't even have to purchase feather trim clothes. If your a DIY chick you can head on over to your local fabric store buy some feather strips and add them to pieces in your own wardrobe. Feathers add a luxurious touch as collars and are very festive on shoes, bags and jewelry for holiday glitz. This is also another trend that allows you to be cruelty free with, as some really fabulous faux feather material is easy to find.

Fringe- the fringe look that is trending right now isn't the Bohemian style of fringe which carries a certain heaviness to it. Modern fringe trends also inspired by the flapper look is styled with loose free movement in mind and has a certain light as air quality to it. On dresses, fringe is layered delicately allowing the curves of your body to move along with out restriction. And fringe isn't limited to fabric but hardware that's found also in jewelery and handbag trim such as chains and links. Another great way to add some personality to your look without looking weighed down. The trick for this and all of the above trends are lightweight pieces and the right amount of trim without overdoing it. You want to look modern and stylish not like a cover hippie plucked straight from a vintage magazine. What's your favorite trend from this group? Stay beautiful!  XOXO

Back To School Trends On A Budget With Go Jane

While I no longer have the dreaded task of getting ready for academic life every year most of you chicklets are contemplating the much anticipated first day of school. And while I'm sure your wondering who's the dorky math teacher this semester and do you have the voice to sign up for glee club or are you a long lost relation of William Hung of "She Bang She Bang" American Idol Fame, your biggest question is probably more focused on   

"What am I going to wear?".

Fear not my little eager to learn ducklets... I put together a mini collage of the hottest trends to include in your wardrobe courtesy of Go Jane.com. Go Jane is a great place to find fun fashions that are easy on your budget because no one should ever have to sacrifice style. These key pieces are essential must haves for looking like the cool kid while easily helping you transition from the end of summer into the early days of the coming fall. I love their prices most of all because after scouring the web only to find online retailers that sell the same fashions for triple the price, this seems like a better bet.  And we don't like that do we? Boooooooo to triple prices....! Even though these clothes are geared more toward the younger set without any designer branding, the quality is really decent as I have experienced from the lovely dress sent to me by Go Jane to review. As well as all the merchandise purchased by me on my own and I just received my fourth order from Go Jane.  It's a fabulous color-block dress at great quality which I'll review for you guys tomorrow. I have purchased similar fabrics at trendy boutiques for far more money than this.

KEY TREND PIECES TO INCLUDE

IN YOUR FALL WARDROBE

Harem/Slouchy Pants: That's right, there back! I love that these have been updated from the 80's version with a more streamlined look. And I have been dying to get a pair myself but the designer price tags kept me away.You can choose a shorter or longer cut or basic to an embellished pair. The baggy slouch fit in the hip/leg areas allows for a more forgiving style for any body shape. A tip for wearing these are to make sure the top sits on the waist and doesn't fall below or it will add a lot of bulk to your figure. You can pair this pant up with a fitted tee, a mini jacket or a form fitting vest. Wearing a little bit of a heel makes them look uber hot for party wear! For school wear try a nice wedge instead.

Harem/Slouchy pants $10.95 to $14.95

The Versatile Faux Fur Vest: This chic look is still around and will carry into the fall season. The fur vest is great because you can wear it with a pair of jeans and a tank while the weather is still warm or you can layer long sleeves during cooler days. You can dress it down for school or dress it up for those wild weekend parties. It not only makes you look super cute and winter Eskimo flirty, it will make you feel good knowing the real furry critters you save by wearing fake fur get to trollop in the snow this winter. We like happy skipping critters!

Cropped Faux Fur Vest $11.95

Color block: Color blocking garments have been gaining momentum over the months and will be around all winter due to the vintage mod trend for fall 2011. These aren't your mothers hippie color block clothes but rather more updated with sleeker streamlined blocks and neutral shades without the bright neon's. When the weather starts to get brisk just throw on some thick opaque tights, a nice pair of boots and you good to go. 

Belted colorblock stripe skirt $18.95

In Jewelry: Were seeing the Peacock everywhere and we love it. A great vintage inspired look from the best that the seventies glamour had to offer. This adds an exotic flair to your style. Whether encased in  metal or faux feather dangling accessories you need to incorporate some peacock motif jewelry for fall.

Peacock Feather  Earrings $8.95

Tassels: Another hot trend right now is tassels jewelry. The longer the trim the better. This is the answer to all the heavy chain link jewelry fashions from the eighties that weighed us down. The metal materials are much lighter and easier to wear. This trend can add a little rock n rock to your look without having to throw on head to toe leather. You can get this look in necklaces, bracelet's and even find metal tassels dangling off of rings.

Chain Link Stone Charm Necklace $11.95

Nature Inspired Stone Ring: These are on trend and can be seen everywhere. The genuine article has a sky high price tag but now you can afford the same "look" without the cost. Nature and leaf inspired motifs will be around for the upcoming season so you definitely want to have a few of these rings in your jewelry box

Nature Stone Leaf Ring $10.95.

Flat-forms: Flat-forms made a splash for this past spring on the runway and they are still going strong. The designer versions can run you up to a couple of hundred dollars and this is a great way to steal the look without the splurge. Plus they are more suited to school attire than high heeled shoes giving comfort, practicality and the cool factor.

Glitter Canvas Flat-form $18.95

Head on over to Go Jane.com for these and other fabulous affordable finds for all your back to school shopping without paying the high price of mall boutique clothing. Look and feel like the cool kid without sending your parents to bankruptcy court. Isn't that what school is for? Oh, yeah and that pesky thing called an education. Stay beautiful!  XOXO

Spring To Fall 2011 Trend- Nature Inspired Stone Cuff

V BY EVA SIMULATED AGATE STONE BRACELET:
IN AN ANTIQUE GOLD FINISH. AN ELEGANTLY FASHIONABLE WAY TO HONOR MOTHER NATURE WITHOUT BREAKING THE BANK. retail $40.00

My Eva cuff

                                                                                                                                                                                                

LESS EXPENSIVE VERSION:

PURCHASED AT MASS MARKET. EQUALLY A BOLD STATEMENT PIECE TO FIT ANY BUDGET. retail $17

 

I found this great faux agate gem cuff for $17

The fashion accessories scene may have been dominated by fierce rings recently including such styles as the double bar, full four finger sweep, outrageously bold stone settings and the popular variety knuckle duster rings. And while this finger candy gem trend is still going strong and likely to carry into the next season or so another hot accessory piece is making it's move to the forefront, the bracelet. Not just any bracelet style but those inspired by mother nature herself and in particular gemstones.

Designers are looking towards nature to come up with the most beautiful soothing bracelet collections they have ever given us to date and this time they see the forest for the trees because that's exactly the place which offers a source of inspiration for vine motifs, hammered twig shapes, bulky geometric bold stones/gems, and branch shaped metals.  And one of the hottest stones you'll find everywhere this year is Agate with purple being the shade of choice. You don't have to break the bank with this trend because agate bracelet's are available with the genuine article starting at retail $1,000 and upwards to mass market faux agate priced around $10 making this a trend everyone can add to their wardrobe.

Other stones of choice that are making a big splash right now are moonstones, turquoise, amber, coral and agate and while the stones can be fitted into so many styles the bracelet of choice that's hot right now is the cuff. I recently did a mini write up on cuff bracelet trends which can be viewed here and from the look of it stylists are still making this trend a must "go to" piece branding organic inspired cuffs the perfect attention grabbing accessory for Spring/Fall 2011.  And it's not just stones and gold hammered metals that are lusted after in the wrist-ware department, it's seemingly anything taken from nature such as butterfly's, insects, leaves, wood and everything serene in nature spotlighting the beauty of our earth.

How you can incorporate or wear this accessory trend is really easy. 

Get several gemstone bangles {Indian wedding bracelets are also on trend right now} and pile them up for added flair.

If your wearing three quarter sleeves cuffs are versatile enough to wear on the wrist or adjusted to fit the upper arm creating a modern exotic mystique.

Have big bold stones or gems in your bracelet, pair them up with sleek menswear inspired pant suits to give you that soft feminine edge to your look.

If delicate trinkets and frilly smocks are more your style layer small link bracelets entwined with leather that adorn butterfly or other animal motif charms to hang sweetly around your wrist.

Going for a really bold personality statement, then grab the biggest oversize gem cuff in the brightest coral shades and wear one on each arm.

Are you more the vintage or tribal type persona?  Metal not your style? Don't worry because this trend carries into more large vintage style gem's encased in Lucite cuff bangles and funky tribal fabric coated cuffs with stoneware embellishments. Your creativity knows no bounds in styling an outfit so play around with this look and come up with whatever outfit/bracelet combination that makes you happy. This is a fun and inexpensive way to change up your wardrobe this fall while allowing your own unique personality to shine through with a nature inspired bracelet of your choice. How are you wearing you cuff bracelet? Stay beautiful! XOXO

Have a super weekend!

  The new Smurf Movie Poster

"La la la-la la la

Sing a happy song

La la la-la la la

Smurf your whole day long"

Your singing this tune in your head right now, admit it you smurf loving children of the eighties!...

I'm back all! I want to thank everyone who left birthday wishes but the getaway was for a relatives birthday, mine is next month when I'll be away again but thank you!

Now back to blogging business. Let the Smurf-mania fever begin! As you already know by now the new Smurf movie is about the hit theaters this August 3, 2011 starring Katy Perry as Smurfette. I was such a huge fan and would rush to wake up on Saturday mornings to watch it. This stuff is classic cartoon heaven unlike those weirdo Sponge bob crap pants they allow kids to watch today. I just don't get it nor do I care to...to each generation it's own I guess.

So what does this mean for fashion and every other aspect of life that can be marketed? It's simple trend forecasting economics. Trend forecasting companies are always on the look out for what new item, person or event may generate a buzz socially/globally in the near future with inspiration coming from all and any source.  In this case a movie set to come out on top at the box office which generates publicity and sets off trends that cross over the film lines into fashion, cosmetics, toys, novelty items and any other piece of merchandise it's humanly possible to generate a Smurf image on. Insider trend forecasters start working on this just as soon as the movie plans are announced with well up to one year in advance so when the movie is ready to come out retailers can pounce on you with snazzy merchandise that will make you spend spend spend! And in the case of the Smurfs there is the added fact of loyal childhood nostalgia from die hard fans (such as myself) as well as the bonus newer generation who will be introduced to the Smurfy world of the little blue mushroom village and it's evil villain Gargamel for the first time which also sparks interest.

Harper's bazaar being the fashionable institution that it is didn't waste time jumping on the Smurf Movie magic bandwagon and features a glamorous Smurfette modeling this season's must have fashion accessories. Is it wrong to be jealous of a blue animated model because she looks good and I would beat up her little blue a$$ just to steal those Lanvin shoes from her. He he he... Don't you guys love the fabulous job they did with this spread? Anyone else here a Smurf lover? Excited to see the movie? Excited to see what cosmetics are inspired by Smurfs? It's too bad Too Faced Cosmetics were a little quick on this trend with their Too Smurfy Collection from a couple of years back. I still have my Smurfette illumiate powder and come to think of it I"m sure I have Smurf toys and memorabilia packed away in a box somewhere. I wonder if MAC will do something along the lines of a collection? They need to redeem themselves from the awful job they did with Wonder Woman. On second thought, maybe they shouldn't because it seems they keep recycling the same colors and compacts with different images. Opinions?   Have a great weekend. Stay beautiful! XOXO

BAD ROMANCE OR BAD SHOES...?

Okay, so I'm probably going to get grief for saying these shoes look adorable in a funky/mod stylish way but I don't care they are unusually cute. Jeffrey Campbell has done it again. He has created a shoe that will be talked about for years to come and this time the Bad Romance style is a wink and a nod to Lady Gaga. Hey if he's going to name a shoe in honor of her it's fitting the styling is a little weird as the lady herself, right?

ROMA ROMA MA MA Bad Romance just released which is part of the Fall 2011 collection is set on a dangerously high five inch wooden heel with a two inch wooden platform with scrunchy bunched up ruffle fabric in a delicious purple shade. No doubt about it, it's a shoe with a whole lot of drama. And it has to take a rather confident dramatic girly to pound the pavement in these babies. Do you dare to wear? You likey? Or is this one to skip? Stay beautiful! XOXO

If you were to buy one and only one piece of jewelry this season this is the "IT" piece to buy. The YSL "ARTY" RING is causing quite the stir again for spring after it's initial Fashion Runway appearance last year. Gracing stylish fashionable and celebrity fingers this piece is hardcore glam. For 2011 hipsters everywhere want to get arty yet again in desperate need to own one of these "moonstone" shaped gems after last season's brilliant success. 

Unfortunately the task of actually owning one may prove quite daunting as these have sold out faster than the time it took for websites to list them. Persival had better luck on his quest for the "Holy Grail". Yes, that's it... the Yves St. Laurent brand has contributed to fashion history once more by guaranteeing a place of "iconic" status for this lusty little ring that will be talked about, imitated and photographed for years to come. Who knew a little golden stone ring could cause such a feverish stir?

Of course there's that pesky little issue of price... If you have the $250 to $400 to splurge on this investment buy then I envy you.  But If your like me and would rather use the cash for life nourishing groceries, don't despair. Grab yourself a copy-cat like I did! Oh course I know it's not the same...but it's just as nice of a bold statement piece and the $40 price tag is a can do. My second piece is already on order and counting the days till it arrives. Do you own the genuine YSL?  You likey? Please discuss. Stay beautiful! XOXO

Trend Alert: Feather Earrings

If you missed the trend alert during the Spring 2011 Runway shows here's an update on an accessory must have in your summer wardrobe this season- feather earrings. It's one of the hottest trends this year showing up on fashionable celebrity lobes everywhere. From the runway, red carpet and on the street the bird isn't the word but FEATHERS is. And this phenomena doesn't stop with the ear because feathers are a versatile accessory all around gracing gorgeous necklaces, pendants, jackets, purse trim and even shoes. If dazzle me crystals were all the rage a season back it's been replaced by feathers or at least in a close race because let's face it shine & sparkle never lose it's luster. 

The best thing about feathers is that they can really pull a look together and anyone can rock it! You can go bold with pieces that flow languidly down to the neck or wear them short. Either way creating a showstopping look that also accentuates your hairstyle. Conservative? Feel like these might scream wild child? Opt for the more natural neutral tones. Want to be the center of attention?  Add a colorful pop to a dull outfit with hot neon shades such as bright fuchsia, turquoise, purple and orange that are trending colors this season. Rock n Roll much? Choose a pair with metal dangling hardware. And you need not own a full on Bohemian wardrobe to wear these because they can be paired with hip flared denim, a sexy night on the town dress and even with a more demure two piece ensemble. The added touch of these delicate nature inspired feathery wisps add a certain  chic, classic and feminine touch complementing any style.

A fabulous affordable little luxury available at various price points, colors, and  length that every woman can pull off as well as being a great investment piece. Feather's are one of those accessories that eventually turn up every season or so. Grab yourself several pairs and you'll always have them on stand by. I personally can attest to this because in my entire lifetime from toddler, tween, teen and up, feather accessories have always been a part of my life. Fly solo or flock with your friends to your fave boutique or outlet center this spring and happy shopping my fine feathered friends. Stay beautiful! XOXO 

On a personal note: My favorite recollection was back in junior high when girls were stabbing each other in the back to see who could wear the prettiest (and the most) feathers in their hair. Ah....childhood memories. Even thought I'm glad I managed to save a few pieces I'm certainly buying more because they are ten tines the fabulousness than they ever were back then. I managed to snag a purple pair for only $8.00 and can't wait to grab some more. Which one's will you buy?

P.S. PLEASE PURCHASE FEATHERS LABELED MAN MADE OR SYNTHETIC

YOU MUST CHECK LABEL-SOURCE OR CONTACT WEBSITE IF PURCHASED ONLINE

Keep in mind some genuine feathers are harvested cruelty free without any harm to the birds because they shed and pluck their own feathers during mulching process several times a year. YOU ARE RESPONSIBLE FOR FINDING THIS OUT IF ITEM IS NOT LABELED. Some online web merchants such as HOT TOPIC sell stylish man made feather jewelry for low prices. BE CRUELTY FREE. THANK YOU

 

MAD MADE SYNTHETIC FEATHERS-PEACOCK PART IS A THIN TYPE OF FABRIC

Trend Alert: Gold Cuff Bracelet

CLICK IMAGE FOR LARGER VIEW

The gold cuff-similar to the gladiator sandal as an iconic accessory staple in the history of world fashion. From it's ancient origins as early as 7,000 in Egypt, Africa, China, Greece and Rome as well as a favorite in Victorian times has managed to thrive into the modern day woman's wardrobe.

A little snippet of fun facts on the history of this highly popular style of jewelry:

In Egypt and Africa they were carved from wood and stone until the rise of the Pharaohs when charms became a popular addition for more adorned bracelets. The Babylonians wore cuffs with simple shapes and designs while the Greek women adorned various animals of snakes, and lions cuffed around the arm as bands. The Roman Empire rocketed the bracelet  into popularity as the Roman women were obsessed with golden cuffs even fashioning bangles out of coiled gold and copper. A popular cuff bracelet included twin snakes that encircle the wrist that create a cuff bracelet. Due to the Roman empires growth bracelet popularity spread along with it. Romans often used gemstones in their bracelets with a popular form as an gemstone set as an eye. The Romans also contributed the knot bracelet which is a single knot in the middle. 

Hey, if it's lasted over 7,000 years us girls must really dig this style so why mess with a good thing...

And with the comeback of decadent glamour it would make sense for this golden trinket adorned by the most fashionable women since time immortal to be featured hot on the heels of fashion runways. This season's trendy cuff's offer a large variety of sizes, shapes, patterns and embellishments. You can wear a cuff with just about any piece of clothing in your wardrobe from casual denim, lacy dresses, flowy skirts, business suits and cool down to earth beach wear. A perfect fit is assured on any women's body type due to the adjustable factor making it a comfortable piece as well. The prices are the best part as you can find these in popular outlets such as Forever 21 retailing at $8 to the most chicest boutiques at whopping $10,000 price tags. Real or fake unleash your inner Glamazonian Queen this summer and pick up several cuff's because it's an investment buy at 7,000 years and counting it's unlikely ever to become outdated. Have a great weekend! Stay beautiful! XOXO
