~Return of the Ruffles~

Posted by Sophie on Wednesday, January 6th, 2010

I thoroughly enjoyed the edgy 80’s fad in 2009.  I’ll love til no end that rock-chic 80’s style with bold shoulders, studs, acid wash jeans, etc.  Now we are heading into the S/S seasons, I’m ready to dive into a more feminine & girly style… the romantic goodness… frills, ruffles, tiered dresses and skirts.  As always, it’s best to create exciting new looks by mixing & matching clothes!

Love the outfit on Isabeli Fontana backstage at the Isabel Marant SS 2010 show.  A cute tiered ruffle dress looks so posh with those suede boots!  Here is the Runway Done My Way version.

Easy Winter Styling

Posted by Sophie on Thursday, December 3rd, 2009

Looking fashionably cozy and chic in winter is easy when you have these key layering pieces – slim tunic sweaters, cardigans, fur vest, bomber jacket, etc… all must-haves for fall/winter for sure.  They make perfect layering pieces for not only keeping us warm but looking stylish as well.  It’s smart to choose warm fabrics like tweed, wool, polyester, & even fleece in order to stay cozy.

Try to avoid looking bulky from head to toe (unless you live in Alaska), instead take pleasure in layering different pieces.  Make it that more interesting!  Sleek riding boots or suede booties are a nice finishing touch to an entire outfit.  Here are 3 basic looks to start with.  Add on accessories such as hats, gloves, belts, scarves, and jewelry… like yummy icing on a layered cake!

Cross Strap Jacket

Found the coolest jacket at such a low price!  Being a fashion hottie is easy when you wear this super stylish Cross Strap Jacket!  Both comfy & lightweight which makes it a perfect fall jacket.  Scoop one up for yourself for only $34.99.

Wear the jacket with a fun graphic tee & skinny cuffed jeans and be sure to jazz it up with juicy accessories!  The joy of fashion is you can mix & match.  It’s so good to be a girl!

Layered Look of the Summer

Yes, layer like a pro even in the summer for that chic, groovy look.  I put together a fun beachy outfit that will make many heads turn!

Put on a deep v-neck dress over a vibrant embroidered bikini (show off your gorgeous bikini top!), start layering some yummy accessories – wide belt (wear low on the waist… sexy) , beaded necklace, cowboy hat, aviator sunglasses and a lovely pair of platform wedges!  Top it off with an adorable crochet denim vest (unbuttoned).

As always, have fun layering by mixing & matching.  Now you are ready to hit the streets!
