Fashion Tips – Sophisticated Fringe

March 25th // Comment Here

When you think of fringe do images of western jackets and cowboy boots come to mind? Well think again! For spring designers have given this a trend a twist, incorporating it to evening dresses, skirts, vests, high heel sandals and jewelry. Check out these pictures of Nicole Kidman and actress Zhang Ziyi for inspiration.

Fashion Tips – Feel like a Goddess

March 23rd // Comment Here

Experiment with fashion and try different looks, dress like a goddess. Think of the Greek goddesses dresses in draped fabrics, with beautiful bold jewelry. Katie Holmes was seen wearing a beautiful goddess style dress. What’s great about this look is that it is easy to pull off and looks fresh and modern. In addition, draping can help mask imperfections and flatter your figure!

Instead of wearing a skin-tight dress, fabrics that drape can be flattering if you want to cover up some extra pounds. To provide more support and create clean lines and a slimmer silhouette, try wearing Spanx underneath your dress. Check out these options to incorporate into your wardrobe to make you feel and look like a Goddess!

Fashion Tips – Capes Create Instant Glamour

October 30th // 1 Comment

Given the time of year, I’m sure many of you are in the market for new outerwear. Since outerwear is usually the finishing touch in putting together your fall/winter looks, you’ll definetely want to pick up a few versatile and stylish pieces to get you through the cooler months.

One of my favorite outerwear silhouettes is the cape. Celebrities like Kim Kardashian and Jessica Simpson have been spotted out-and-about recently wearing this same look! Kim’s tweed cape is a good example of how to take a day look to night, and Jessica’s fur-lined look is super-glamorous and formal.

While Kim Kardashian’s tweed belted cape probably costs several hundred dollars, you can achieve a similar look with a Cejon Belted Cape from Bloomingdale’s for around $125. If you want the same look for less, New York & Company has a similar tweed cape for only $90.96!

On a side note, while I was browsing our partner stores for capes, I came across some really great deals on outerwear over at Overstock.com. They have tons of great coats at deep discounts!

Happy Shopping!

FashionCents Style Tips – Pants…the long and short of it!

June 11th // 2 Comments

In continuing with our FashionCents Style Tips this week, today we wanted to focus on pants and shorts for Dad!

Yesterday, I mentioned how sandals and socks do not go together. The same thing can be said about jeans and shorts or jorts as they are commonly referred to. Jean shorts do not count as shorts, especially cut-offs. While they may be great for working around the yard, they don’t quite cut it when you’re going out.

For years, I had to constantly beg JR to get rid of his jean shorts. When I finally did, he didn’t realize what he had been missing out on. Shorts can come in many different styles. There are cargo shorts, linen shorts and the standard khaki pleated pair of shorts, not to mention shorts for working out that help wick-away sweat. While all of these shorts have a different application, many of them can be worn with a pair of sandals that I mentioned earlier, to help create a nice outfit that is both attractive and comfortable.

Since this is all about Dad this week, I wanted to bring to your attention a few great deals (not to mention, stores) that are available on the web portal.

First up is Macy’s. Remember how I mentioned that Born shoes were extremely comfortable? Try these Herringbone shorts from Tommy Bahama! JR is constantly raving about how they are so comfortable and lightweight. If there is anything you want to wear whether playing golf or just having dinner out, it is a pair of these. They are available for $72 right now!

While Herringbone shorts are not applicable in every situation, I figured I would look for something else a little more durable and laid back. Mark mentioned having the perfect white t-shirt. To complement this, I found a great pair of cargo shorts (in camo too!). This is a hot summer look when you’re wanting to relax and yet still look great! They were available at Cabela’s for only $15! A great deal if you ask me!

As the title suggests, this entry was about shorts…and pants. I found this great pair of Hugo Boss linen and cotton blended pants at Bloomingdale’s for $125, which are perfect for an evening out or a trip to the beach!

Until tomorrow…
