The Skinny on Pants

Be sophisticated, be edgy, or be classic all with one pair of pants. The skinny pant can be worn so many ways, and give people so many different looks, that this look is really for anyone. You can pair the pants with a fur vest and sheer top for a sophisticated look that you could wear on a date with your absolutely perfect new man. (Just be sure that he takes you to a place where your fur vest won’t be jacked!:) The oversized top half gives the outfit a great balanced compared to the skinny, fitted bottom half. You can also pair the pants with oversized cowlneck top and leather heels for an edgy, rocker look. This look can say, “Hey, I’m a rocker chick with a tough attitude and a hell of a fashion since; mess with me and find out exactly how fitted these pants are!”  Finally you can pair these pants with a white t-shirt and a sassy blazer for a classic look. This look is so simple and looks so put together (of course, we already know that I love the blazer from my boyfriend blog). It is so easy to wear these skinny pants in so many different ways, that you should invest in a few good pairs of these so that you can wear them every fall/winter day! Run toward them, run in them, just get some of these fashion friends!

NOLA

Here is an article to my extremely rare male readers. Since I am going to begin living in New Orleans in a week and a half (after I get married on Friday… Which I will begin blogging about soon enough, don’t worry!), I am going to let you in on my favorite southern-themed ties: NOLA Couture. These ties are adorable, yet chic, beautiful, and fun! I have already forced one upon my Fiancé, and begged him to get each of his groomsmen one. I think these ties are the most influential statement a southern man can make when he has to dress for an event (like a wedding). There are an inordinate amount of NOLA themes in these ties: street cars, hurricanes, pelicans (my favorite), crabs, beers, and so many more. These ties are a statement piece that every man should have, and to my female readers, get your significant others these ties! They are the best. If you don’t live in New Orleans, go to http://www.nolacouture.com/ and order him one, two, 60, whatever, just run towards these ties friends!

Fall is in the air

As Fall steadily approaches, my next few blogs will be following the major designers runway shows and what I think about their collections. Today, I am going to talk about Michael Kors Fall 2011 collection. I like it, but I don't love it. It's a little plain. The monochromatic color scheme is simple and elegant, and it works for the runway, but let’s be honest, when you watch a runway show you are watching the models, looking at the clothes, and studying the garments. You are there to look at the clothes, so that is all you do. However, if you take one of these garments and wear it to a cocktail party, no one will notice you one way or another. Now, this could be a plus if you like to be a wall flower and don't want people looking at you in discussed and running in the other direction just to avoid being seen with you, but where is the fun in that :)? I am a really big fan of Mr. Kors' big, fluffy brightly colored fur jackets that are really impractical, but oh-so-fun; however, I didn't see any this collection. He has black, beige, brown, and mauve colors in this collection, and my favorites are the sparkle pieces. I think even in a monochromatic ensemble, these dresses can make a fashion statement. So to sum it up, this show didn't stun me, but it didn't horrify me either, so I think that it could be a good option for just about everyone, fashion-daring or not. Run towards Michael always fashion friends!
