Capacious clutches 2008-06-18 10:24:17 Does bigger really mean better? Not necessarily, but in this case, bigger is definitely a lot cooler. As we approach summer, oversized clutches are still a hot commodity for the season! With the appeal of their smaller counterparts combined with a fashion-forward edge, versatility and extra space to hold more items, it's no wonder fashionistas can't get enough of them.Ashley Olsen shows us one way
Red Dress Days 2008-06-17 14:03:44 Valentino once said, “Women usually prefer to wear black at events because it makes them feel safe, however, if there’s one woman wearing red, she will inevitably be the eye-catcher of the evening. It’s as though the room is suddenly illuminated- simply perfect for a grand-entrance”.(Source)The designer would know as he has been an expert at creating beautiful and iconic red dresses for Read more:Red Dress

Cool Vintage Finds - Order of the Elephant 2008-06-15 12:31:45 Don't you just love it when you get style inspiration from other bloggers? I've been getting quite a lot lately and this post from the very lovely Sharon Rose (thank you dahling!) about sea life prints is the most recent. Now it wasn't exactly direct inspiration, as today's post has nothing to do with the sea, but it did get me thinking about what other rare and unusual motifs are out there.When I Read more:Order

What I want right now - Striped Blazer 2008-06-14 13:08:56 Ok, so here's the deal...I love blazers...and I love stripes. Put them together and I'm in total outerwear heaven. I prefer big, bold stripes that you can you can spot from a mile away but I can also appreciate the chic simplicity of subtle stripes.I've had a thing for striped blazers for a long time but I hadn't fed my lust in a while when I stumbled on Captured Lives' blog and saw a photo of her Read more:Blazer
Fashion Inspiration - Fun Fab Fringe 2008-06-13 12:53:43 The fringe has sprung up as a major trend for spring and summer and it's showing no signs of slowing down.The decorative trim was seen a great deal in various S/S08 collections such as Gareth Pugh, Maurizio Pecararo, D&G and Zac Posen. photos courtesy style.comThis is not a new style, however, as the fringe has been around for a very long time. It has been used during various eras and in many Read more:Fashion

I'd like a little quirk on my jewelry, please 2008-06-13 12:18:09 I really love cute, whimsical jewelry and its ability to add a lot of interest and character to an outfit. I have quite a few quirky pieces in my collection such as a poodle brooch, a 'birds-sitting-on-a-branch' brooch (I love brooches!) and a pendant made out of little
plastic feet (this is actually cute)! While looking for the items for the Zoe Kravitz style post below, I stopped by the Lulu*s F
Celebrity Style for Less - Zoe Kravitz 2008-06-12 15:16:07 Zoe Kravitz isn't really a celebrity in the true sense of the word as yet. She's known mostly as the daughter of Lisa Bonet and Lenny Kravitz, and also for her unique sense of style.She was seen leaving the Rose Bar at the Gramercy Park Hotel in New York City on June 10 in a cute and slightly quirky outfit. She was wearing a white tank top, a full denim skirt, pointed toe flats, a long strap purs Read more:Celebrity

I loved it so much in fact, that when I found out my godmother was getting married, I knew I had to get a dress similar to those in the collection.I chose this one below in particular for my inspiration because I liked the one shoulder aspect and also because ruffles make me happy! photo courtesy style.comI had t Read more:Inspired
Like it or not? - F21 Ombre Skirt 2008-06-06 07:41:07 I'm not the biggest fan of the ombre trend but I think it can look nice when the transition from one colour to another is subtle.That's why I kind of shuddered when I saw this skirt from Forever21. It looks as though they began to dye it black and then realized they didn't have as much fabric as they thought so they just threw the pink on at the end. I actually have to squint a little to look at Read more:Ombre

Give me the cold shoulder! 2008-06-02 12:09:28 While doing my regular website browsing on Saturday, I came across this photo of Mary-Kate Olsen dressed in a white kimono style dress with cut out shoulder detail.photo courtesy justjared.comI instantly remembered a photo I recently saw in one of my old InStyle magazines of Charlize Theron dressed in a lovely Fall 2006 Bottega Veneta dress.Charlize made a small but dramatic alteration to the runw

Cool Vintage Finds - Pumpin' 80s 2008-05-30 13:11:26 Most people remember the eighties for some of the horrendous fashion trends that arose during the period. However, it wasn't a complete disaster of an era as there were some interesting trends that managed to actually still look rather cool.One such trend in my opinion is geometric colour block pumps. I'm all about unique, interesting and funky accessories and these shoes easily fit the bill. What Read more:Vintage

Fashion Inspiration - Vivid Colour 2008-05-28 17:28:16 I've always loved wearing bright colours because of the way they instantly make me feel more alive and confident. My outfit post below was inspired by all the lovely, bold colours I've been seeing everywhere that will be even more prominent when summer arrives. Some of my inspiration came from the Resort 2009 collections which were subdued for the most part but colour intensity was seen here and t Read more:Colour

No longer a Polyvorgin... 2008-05-26 09:23:19 For a while now, I've been seeing a few fashion blogs such as The Vintage Society and Fashiontribes feature stylish outfit collages created on Polyvore.At first, I didn't pay much attention to it but eventually I let my curiosity get the better of me as it usually does. I started off slow, just putting items together to get a feel of the program. This has now turned into a full blown addiction wit
What I'm wearing - Sunny disposition 2008-05-22 15:17:23 I don't really like doing outfit posts mainly because I have such a lousy camera that takes extremely lousy photos.I decided to give it a try today and it took me about half an hour to get a proper photo of the outfit I'm wearing

The Short and the Belted 2008-05-21 17:22:20 Cute, casual and perfect for summer! These shorts are the perfect clothing item for the season.Simply tie the belt in a loose knot and wear with a casual shirt and sandals for a relaxed look. If you like, you also have the option of tying the belt in a bow to fancy up the shorts a little and pair with heels and a nice blouse for a night out.

Like it or not? - Net Heel Boots 2008-05-21 07:06:00 These boots give a different spin to the ubiquitous gladiator shoe trend and I must say, I quite like them. They'll certainly bring the same amount of edginess to an outfit as gladiators do and I'm sure you fashion mavens would have a fun time with these.With Mocha Net Heel Boots

Fashion Inspiration - Brilliant Accents 2008-06-21 14:01:35 I love bright colour and and am always inspired by it, but you don't have to be covered from head to toe in it to make a statement. One of my current trend obsessions is the combination of splashes of lively, bright colours with neutral colours. For example, check out these neon accented looks from the S/S08 runways of Costume National, Marc Jacobs, Anna Sui and Jil Sander. photos courtesy style. Read more:Accents

Patching things up with style 2008-06-19 12:27:31 I'll admit it, when I hear the word 'patchwork' used in relation to clothing, the very first thing that comes to my mind is the quintessential country bumpkin in a modest dress made out of old pieces of cloth in many different colours and prints. photo courtesy kindercottagekeepsakes.comThe next image I usually think of is the funky patchwork from the 70s.

Lighten up, Denim! 2008-07-02 15:51:56 Another '80s/'90s trend to make a comeback this summer is light wash denim. While dark denim is classic and universally more flattering, light denim is appealing because it has a fresh and casual look which is a great mix for summer. It may not be for everyone but if you like it and can pull it off, by all means, go for it!Pictured below are light denim looks that were present on the S/S08 runways Read more:Denim
