Wise Words from Coco

“Fashion is not something that exists in dresses only. Fashion is in the sky, in the street, fashion has to do with ideas, the way we live, what is happening.” --Coco Chanel

Trend Talk: Chain Headbands

Headbands are back at it for yet another season, but this time with a twist. Check out the hottest new variation on last season's head gear--the chain headband.

This killer piece is a perfect way to tie together your look, or to throw on when you are having a bad hair day--and lets face it, we all have them!

Wear it with your hair swept back, with a braid (see picture above), with a ponytail or messy bun, or across your forehead for a more bohemian vibe.

Check out Jupe's take on the chained hair accessory--it comes in Steeler colors (yellow and white) and also in navy and white. It's a total must have piece for the season!

The Duck Boot

One of the hottest trends for  fall 2010 is the duck boot. Designers such as Marc Jacobs and Tory Burch are bringing this trend back in multiple styles. You can get a high heeled duck boot , a knee high duck boot, an ankle duck boot, a fur duck boot....the list goes on and on. I personally love the trend , especially in Pittsburgh with the nasty weather we get here . Sometimes my UGG boots just don't cut it through all the snow and slush and i need something a little more sturdy. I think i will hop on the band wagon with this trend. Here are two of my favorite styles of the duck boot from Tommy Hilfiger.

Trend Talk: Socks with Sandals

One of the most interesting trends to make a debut on the F/W 2010 runway are socks worn with sandals or open toed shoes. You may be thinking ugh, what an awful combo! However, this new craze is super cute and if done right, can look tres chic.

NOTE: We are not talking white cotton athletic socks like the ones your grandpa and mine wear with their Velcro strapped sandals. Think sheer ankle or knee length socks or more fall friendly variations like tweed and wool worn with flats or sky high heels/booties. Paired with a dress or a skirt ensemble in the season's hottest layered pieces, you will be certainly be the most stylish girl on the block.

Check out how these fashionistas are rocking the look. Imitate their outfits and you can't go wrong.


Jupe lovers--how are you feeling about this trend? Is it a go?

Shine on..

There is nothing that I love more than wearing two completely contrasting styles together. I love menswear and lace, a cargo jacket over a flirty dress, and mixing prints. Two things that are so "wrong" together can often be just right. So it comes as no surprise that this sweatshirt is just up my alley. A comfortable sweatshirt and shiny sequins in one? Shine, uh I mean, sign me up!


Not sure how to wear it? We have a few ideas for you:

For daytime: pair with ripped boyfriend jeans and colored Chuck Taylors. Add a big, simple tote for all of your daily essentials.

For a night out: pair with ultra skinny black denim and sky high black pumps. A simple pair of hoops, a bright colored clutch, and a bright red lip will be the perfect finishing touches.
