Wednesday, July 30th, 2008
Lounging around doesn’t require any special or fancy outfit. I know that when I lay about the house, run some errands and hang with friends, I want to be comfortable, but still look totally cool. That is why I love this 291 Vertical Tie Dye T-shirt. It’s made of a super soft cotton, with a tissue-thin feel and look, so that only the softest material rubs upon your skin. It’s got a wide v-neck and a long length. It’s also a fun upgrade to your original 1960’s classic tie dye. It has a fun vertical splash of tie dye, off to the side, leaving room for plenty of comfort and fun. Wear with your favorite pair of jeans, sweats or leggings. Run around town and never worry about feeling uncomfortable through the day. This is an ideal shirt for all your weekend and post-work relaxation plans!

Laura Dahl Dickens Pant
Wednesday, July 30th, 2008
Whether you are going on vacation to a Caribbean island or maybe just a cruise around Mexico, you need some clothing that is vibrant enough to keep up with all that sunshine and partying! That is why we love these Laura Dahl Dickens Pant. The color in itself screams tropical vacation, but the style also catches our attention for its vintage, yet contemporary look. These cropped pants include large silver buttons on the leg openings and small belt loops with silver D ring attachments. Two lobster clasp chains with a key and mouse charm, hang from the front right loop. All this detail makes these pants a fun choice for both your day or night fiesta!

Summer Wrap Sweater
Wednesday, July 30th, 2008
I always have a dilemma in the summer because it gets so hot outside but when I go out and am somewhere with air conditioning I end up getting chilly. I have a constant struggle trying to keep my body temperature in check. A sweater like the Summer Wrap Sweater would be perfect to bring out on those hot nights when you are going somewhere and might get cold from the air conditioner. It’s really light weight so you won’t look like you are wearing something that should be worn in the winter. It can be worn tied in the front, untied, or even wrapped in the back so it is really versatile depending on our outfit and the look you want to go for. It comes in white and black - the perfect neutral colors so you can wear it with anything.

Neon and Black Sock Duo
Tuesday, July 29th, 2008
Anything neon is fun for a child born in the 80s. Nail polish, headbands, scrunchies and more…I could not get enough of neon everything! And that is why I chose these socks, as they are really a fun treat for your feet! They come in a pack of two; featuring black socks with neon broken hearts & skulls, and black socks with neon stars. This Neon and Black Sock Duo is a fun way to keep your feet warm around the house or with a cute pair of sneakers this summer. While your bedroom might be a total mess and finding things can cause you lots of trouble, these might be a pair of socks that are easy to find, even in the dark!

Christian Siriano Black Metallic Wool ‘Dinner at 8′ Jacket
Monday, July 28th, 2008
The moment many of us have been waiting for has arrived. Everyone’s favorite fierce designer, Christian Siriano, winner of last season’s Project Runway, now has a line on Bluefly.com. The line is made up of ready-to-wear pieces based on his collection that he presented at Fashion Week during the show finale which was pretty over the top so it’s good to see that he created some everyday wear. I really like this short cropped jacket. It’s black metallic wool with oversized lapels, metallic button details, and a little bit of a raised shoulder to give you that puffed sleeve look. It’s fitted to your frame so it will definitely show off your curves. You will look like you just stepped foot off the runway and of course will be representing fierceness!

Sylvan Scene Cardigan
Monday, July 28th, 2008
This is officially THE most adorable little sweater I have ever set eyes on. It’s from Anthropologie, the store where everything is amazing, unique, and not to mention, requiring a much bigger checking account than I maintain. This is my “if I had endless stacks of money…” store. Being a teacher I, sadly, have no stacks of money, but I can still dream!
The Sylvan Scene Cardigan is a sweet, cap sleeve solution to your autumn wardrobe deficiency, assuming that you have one. Don’t we always have one? Its orange wool and oversized green buttons with painted floral design make it unmistakably “European quirky.” It’s suitable for many situations- relaxing, work, and even going out with friends. Oh, someone wants to send me $188. I just know it! I said I’m a dreamer, right?

La Redoute Creation Sheer-striped Sweater
Friday, July 25th, 2008
Sweaters are typically said to be worn only in cold weather, but we love any type of sweater that can be used all year round. This La Redoute Creation Sheer-striped Sweater is so versatile that you can wear it come spring, summer, fall or winter. Use it to layer with other shirts, or wear by itself. It is a great option when bringing along a long sleeved shirt on a crisp cool evening. It is made of silky rayon and works to create an almost sheer effect. Match this sweater up with many bottoms you may already own; jeans, black pants, skirts galore. There is not much that won’t work with a sweater of this capability.

Wraps Are Hot, Hot, Hot!
Wednesday, July 23rd, 2008Scarves aren’t just for bundling up in winter anymore. They’re getting greedy and busting onto the summer scene, too! Scarves and wraps have hit fashion hard and they’re everywhere right now. I walked into American Eagle yesterday and found one on just about every mannequin. Maybe they were chilly.
Now, don’t get me wrong, I’m embracing the summer scarf, but I must admit that it feels a bit forced. Who in their right mind wants to put a scarf or wrap on in 95-degree weather? C’mon, seriously. I’m looking to the fall to really start rocking this trend hardcore. I’ll at least be able to viably justify it then.
As I mentioned, AE is pushing these scarves right now. They have them in almost every color. My favorites are the AE Windchill Scarf in Bright Mango/Pink Heart and the AE Crinkle Lurex Scarf in Grey. According to them, they “fall perfectly tied any way.” Both are sold for $19.50 online or in stores.
Another scarf that’s superfun is the Lulu Lurex Scarf in Coral Silver from Buckle. Like the other scarves highlighted, this one is light and flowy, perfect for early fall. Theirs is only $14.00 and can be found online or in stores as well.
Delia’s offers some more youthful scarves, with music note, floral, and star patterns. My favorite happens to be their Star Scarf in Blue Multi for $16.50. It’s more a fun, casual scarf, not so polished. This scarf says, “I’m going to the movies to see James McAvoy’s hot self in Wanted.” Mmm.
Perhaps, while sitting in the theater, waiting to watch Wanted, the guy next to you, equally excited for Angelina Jolie’s apprearance, strikes up a conversation. The conversation will most certainly lead to a date since you’re hot. For such an occasion, you may want to wear a scarf like the Crinkle Silk Scarf from Arden B. It looks like a silk bandana- tre chic! It may look more refined, but you get what you pay for. This scarf, offered in Pumpkin and Scuba Blue (my fav), will run you $68.00. The Arden B. scarf has embroidery and beading details, along with the fringe that the other scarves offer.
The contest winner for hottest scarf or wrap has to be Free People’s Patchwork Scarf. It takes style, confidence, and a love of pink to rock this wrap. For those with an aversion to pink, they have it in yellow, too. As per their description, it boasts “raw seamed edges, fringe trim, and beaded appliqué detail.” Oh, it’s fun. Unlike the others, this scarf is a perfect square, so you have to know how to wrap your wrap. For $58.00, this is my pick for the most bang for your buck. It packs a punch! Go to Texeresilk for every possible way to fold and mold your scarf to fit your style.
If you’re wondering where in tarnation you’re going to store all of these scarves, I have the solution for you. In college dorms, it’s a well-known fact that you have virtually no storage space. To store my massive collection of scarves, and I mean massive, I went out and purchased two Overdoor Cap Rack. I have toted them along with me to subsequent apartments and I have them stored on my closet door as we speak. It’s a perfect solution! If you want to try it out, you can head over to Organize.com and get a set of two for only $10.99 by Jokari.

Pedal Pusher Pant from 7 For All Mankind
Wednesday, July 23rd, 2008
Capris, pedal pushers, flood pants, cut-offs….they sure do have a lot of names, but ultimately what you got yourself here is a short pair of pants! These “pedal pushers” from 7 For All Mankind are an adorable version of their longer counterparts, but an appropriate style for warmer weather. They are made of colored denim that is lightweight and won’t leave your legs too hot during the summer. Choose from two basic colors and match many different tops and shoes with each. The greatest thing about these though is the fact that they can be worn during day or night! Wear them to casual Fridays at work or out on the town Friday evening. Versatility and lots of “leg” room makes these pedal pushers a must-have for the summer.
