Light-Hearted

Posted on 21. Feb, 2013 by Dana Linn in category of Beauty & Style, Fashion, Abby Lee Hood, businesswear, Pastels, trends

One of my favorite trends for spring is definitely pastel-colored business wear. I first saw brightly hued button-ups and blazers at Gap as part of a holiday collection, and now I can’t get enough!

If you’re a businesswoman yourself or attend occasions that frequently require you to dress up, there’s no excuse to have a boring, drab wardrobe. Plain black pencil skirts and gray tones are safe areas that professionals lean towards, but showing your personality and stylish flair is always a do! Read More »

The Pantsless Wonders

Posted on 15. Feb, 2013 by Dana Linn in category of Beauty & Style, Fashion, celebrity news, Colleen Walsh-Jervis, trends

Is this pants-less thing really happening? Showing up in public without any bottoms just seemed like a one-time fashion faux pas when Lena Dunham did it at an event last September, but now Solange Knowles is doing it. Miley Cyrus has been doing it regularly for almost a year.Read More »

The Boob Window

Posted on 06. Feb, 2013 by Dana Linn in category of Beauty & Style, Fashion, Boob heaven, Colleen Walsh-Jervis, cut-outs, trends

With the way cut-outs have caught on, we had to have seen this coming. First used to expose little patches of skin from demure places like the side of the ribs, a little strip along the upper midriff, or a patch of the middle back, cut-outs are getting scandalous. Yes, gang, they’ve reached the boobs.Read More »

You Can’t Dress Like the First Family

Posted on 24. Jan, 2013 by Dana Linn in category of Fashion, Colleen Walsh-Jervis, J.Crew, trends

No matter where your political beliefs lie, you’ve got to agree with the first family’s fashion. Michelle Obama is such a fashion icon that her latest haircut (with bangs!) made international news. Women everywhere clamor to snatch up pieces the First Lady wears to events and celebrate the designers she chooses for special occasions.Read More »

Alex and Ani: Here to Stay or Just a Fad?

Posted on 18. Jan, 2013 by Sara LeDuc in category of Beauty & Style, Fashion, accessories, commentary, Sara LeDuc, trends

By now, half of the female population of the world owns at least one – if not many more – Alex and Ani bracelets. It’s crazy how fast a trend can spread, since a year ago hardly anyone knew Alex and Ani even existed.

Believe it or not, the story of these bracelets began in 2004 (eight years ago!). They were created in Cranston, Rhode Island, by founder Carolyn Rafaelian. These bracelets are eco-friendly and there are tons of different designs. They also have an “expandable” feature that not many other bangles, so they fit virtually any hand and wrist size.Read More »

Best Fads of the ’90s

Posted on 17. Jan, 2013 by Sara LeDuc in category of Opinions, Quirked, Fads, Sara LeDuc, trends

It’s weird to look back and see what was popular once versus what is popular now. To be honest, I would trade some of today’s stuff for what we had back then. Of course, there were some things I definitely wouldn’t ever want to see again (Furby, I’m looking at you). But there’s many other I could see as fitting into my daily life.

Here are all the fads that I wish would return (and admit it, so do you!):Read More »

Reinventing Your Cardigan

Posted on 17. Jan, 2013 by stylequirk in category of Beauty & Style, Fashion, cardigans, outfits, StyleQuirk, trends

If you’re like me, you have a cardigan for every day of the week (okay, maybe even two weeks). Cardigans are both versatile and functional, whether you’re looking for a piece to dress up your jeans, or an option that easily takes a casual look to dressy in a matter of minutes. Sometimes, though, your cardigan can become too mundane if you fall into a routine of wearing it the same way, time after time.Read More »

Cellulite-Fighting Super Jeans!

Posted on 17. Jan, 2013 by Dana Linn in category of Beauty & Style, Fashion, Colleen Walsh-Jervis, jeans, meanwhile on the internet, trends

In this age of multitasking, every item we buy is expected to fulfill more than one need. Plain old moisturizer is being pushed aside for BB cream (which often acts as a tinted moisturizer, sunscreen, and a skin-clearing treatment), and even gum promises to whiten teeth. Now clothing is doing you some extra favors, and I’m not talking about cinching in your waist with Spanx-like technology. The latest jeans from Wrangler will moisturize your dry skin, soothe sensitive skin, or smooth out your cellulite. Big claims for simple jeans. Are they worth the investment?Read More »

Wear Your Boyfriend's Shirt Like a Pro

Posted on 07. Jan, 2013 by Dana Linn in category of Beauty & Style, Fashion, Abby Lee Hood, leather, trends

I recently found myself in possession of a leather skirt from Goodwill. I was browsing through the racks and came across it. Miraculously, it fits like a dream! And it's real leather, which I honestly never buy, but I figured second-hand isn't as detrimental as buying new leather. (I've started a discussion on the topic; weigh in here).Read More »
