Turban Headwrap

In the PR office I intern for, I saw a knitted turban headwrap/hat and it reminded me of a genie. At first, I thought it was ridiculous. When I went home, the next day I saw about three young, fashionable, chic women wearing a chunky turban headwrap in black. Both of the women had long, wavy hair and wore large black Jackie O sunglasses. I decided that I love this look and tried to find it online. So far, all I have found is an Opening Ceremony turban hat at Saks and a few Jennifer Behr turban headwraps (on Saks website as well). Very bohemian chic.

Sexy Flat Shoes: Do they exist?

I am not extremely tall, but I am 5'8" so my boyfriend dreads when I wear my typical 4 inch heels, making me about 6'1"! I told him in the summer time if he can find me a sexy pair of flat shoes, I will wear them out with confidence. Result? No shoes yet... I am going to briefly talk about what makes flat shoes sexy enough to wear out at night.

1. The shoe must have a pointed toe. It does not have to be an obnoxious pointed toe, just more of a pointed toe than a round toe. This is important because a rounded toe gives off a more adorable, day-time vibe than a sexy look.

2. The shoe should have some toe cleavage. If there is too much toe cleavage, the toes look long and awkward, so only enough of a peek to look sexy.




3. I prefer a texture on the shoe to make them look expensive and then you can also wear simple clothing and let your shoes stand out. The ones I want are a python texture, but other fun textures include alligator, animal hair, tweed, etc.

4. If there is no texture, embellishments are a good choice too. I love zippers, studs, chains, rhinestones, etc. This gives the shoe an edge. Also, peep toe (in the summer and spring) and cut outs are always sexy.

5. I personally am not a huge fan of the strange kitten heels with flats. It makes you look like you are the type of girl who is not confident enough to wear heels. If there is a small heel, make sure it is in the form of a platform, wedge, or a heel that is hidden into the bottom of the shoe.

The flats posted are by Sam Edelman, Elizabeth and James, and Pour la Victoire.
I am going to post a few examples of flats that I think make the cut for a night out. Good luck finding the perfect flats- shop away!

My favorite shoes for the winter!

I decided when I was freezing in my heeled boots the other night that there has to be a pair of boots that are stylish and hot, but have shearling in them. These are definitely a great option by Tashkent by Cheyenne.



When I first saw these in person, I was so happy to finally find a pair of over-the-knee heeled boots that do not make you look like a hooker! When I saw them at a boutique in Florida, I wanted them so badly I almost cried... The leather is so soft I couldn't stop petting it. I need these in my life. Classic for a trendy item too. By Joie.

On the list of over-the-knee boots needs to be this cut-out pair. I love them for going out at night. They are by Alexandra Neel.




I have wanted a pair of menswear lace-up looking boots for a while now. Problem is that I am really curvy and tend to wear shapeless sweaters during the winter. The solution is buying a pair of embellished lace-up boots and wearing more girly items
to go with them so that you never look like a boy from far away... Also, if your boyfriend has a pair, never buy ones that look like his. Buy narrow boots so that your foot does not look more masculine also. I love these Frye studded ones. Rock on.

I have always wanted a pair of short cowboy/western inspired boots. Whether plain and vintage looking or embellished with studs, buckles, sequins, whatever just make sure that they are not too tight around the ankles to make you look like you have cankles or make your calves look big (because if they are large like mine, buying short boots is quite a challenge in its own because they make your calves appear larger than they are). These Janet & Janet and Jeffrey Campbell ones are my favorite. And when they get more worn, they will look even more vintage than they already do.

Fall and Winter Fashions

So my favorite trends as of now for the Fall and Winter season are numerous, but recently I have been contemplating purchasing a few items and want to see what you all think about the items. Some could be outrageous, but I think if styled correctly could be perfect.

Capes

The unforunate thing about capes and caplets are that you cannot really wear them under coats and unless it is a coat itself, you will freeze! I guess they are more

appropriate for Fall and indoor events so you can put them on as you choose.
I love the chunky ones with the arm holes and the toggles.

Big Chunky Sweaters and Vests, more volume the better


They are warm and you can't help but smile when you feel like you are wearing a blanket and look fashionable at the same time... Mine from Club Monaco makes me almost feel guilty, like I am wearing my pjs at work. I love them in winter white,
grey, hunter green, mauves, blush pinks...

New obsession:

Christmas sweaters

So not like the blinking lights with the Christmas trees and sparkles, but a wintery print, like snowflakes and dots. We have one at Club Monaco... for men... and I am very tempted to buy it in case I never find one that I like for women. I love the fold over necklines and really want a cashmere one. Cute with leggings, skinny jeans, tall boots, etc.




Sequin Leggings

Okay before you all judge, I saw a pair with a long boyfriend button down white shirt and stilettos and decided I think I need to have a pair. Not cheap ones though, because those are asking to get caugh on something and fall apart. Also, chain necklace is completely a necessity with this look.

Welcome!

Hey all!
I just wanted to say welcome to my Blog and I hope you have as many opinions as I do about new fashion trends. I created this page to talk about new trends, how you think people should wear them (whether successfully or unsuccessfully), where you can find them cheap, etc. I also like to dabble into make up and hair products as well because if you are into fashion, this all matters to you as well.

Please feel free to comment on my postings as much as you feel necessary. I hope we can all learn from each other for styling tips as well as hearing everyone's opinions as to what is a good trend and what is just plain BAD. Thanks and look forward to conversing with all you fashionistas soon!
