Put a Bow on Him

br690752-00vliv01
The bow tie is really hot this season. And I’m not talking about a bow tie and a suit, I’m talking about a bow bow tie with jeans.

The blazer and jeans thing is cool but spice it up with this awesome bow tie from Banana Republic. The price tag is $49.50 but BR is having ridiculous sales where you can get any item for 40% off! If your an online shopper you can save 20% plus free shipping!

The Bow Tie is definitely FF approved and a great holiday look.

Over the Knee Boots

Over the knee boots, named one of People’s must have winter pieces.

I’ve seen this look before BUT I can’t say that I’ve seen it pulled this well off, the way Penelope Cruz has below:

Canal Street, NYC

f546c49e6754b882_whitney-headband_larger

Last winter while watching The City, I saw Whitney wearing this winter headband you see in the above picture.

This a great way to keep your ears and head warm while not really messing up the hair. After searching for it on the Internet with not much luck, I found it on Canal Street!

If you have a couple extra dollars, and want to update the accessory closet, Canal is the place to go. They have very cool scarves, hats, gloves, earrings, necklaces, watches and so much more at totally reasonable prices.

I paid $8.00 for my winter head band, and it was exactly what I’ve been looking for!!!

Of course, try to avoid the knock off handbag dealers. It’s a bit of an underground, shady industry which takes away from the economy (Counterfeit products represent 7% of world trade. That’s more than $350 billion, according to the International Chamber of Commerce.) Just something to keep in mind.

Take a trip to Canal, you will definitely find some cool pieces to add to your collection.

Good Luck!

Fashionably Pregnant

(I had to post this picture!)

If you are a true trend setter, Not 25 pounds, a stretched belly, or  a waddle will stop you from keeping up with the latest trends…

This post is for my preggers who are saying “Hey! what about me? I can be fashionable!”… Water retained feet will not stop a real fashionista from strutting her stuff in heels.

My advise to you is  grab a pair of maternity jeans but,  you don’t have to shop at maternity stores for your latest fashion spend (maternity stores are usually more expensive)… Go to your favorite store, grab a size or two up from your true size, and you should be good to go!

Nicole Richie is the essence of being fashionable with a belly… Check out her outfit below:

Reese Witherspoon

I remember the days when getting on an airplane meant dressing in sweat pants and a t-shirt cause one had to be “comfortable”. Since when has being “comfortable” meant dressing like a slob?!?!?

I found this picture of Reese Witherspoon about to catch a plane and she looks great! There is no reason to lose your sense of fashion for comfort. The moral of the story… You can be fashionable, comfortable and still look great…

Anyone catching a plane or just simply a Reese fan check out the outfit below:

Why so Plain, Jane?

Are you a Plain Jane?? Are simple t-shirts and jeans your look?? FF says that’s okay! All you need is a simple accessory like a scarf to spice up your wardrobe. Add color to sass up your style, not only will you look cute in your new scarf you’ll be super cozy on cold days.

To all my Jane’s for $15.00 or less you can keep your plain tees and add one of these to liven things up a bit!
