Velour Suit Trend: In or Out
Can someone explain to me why, suddenly, the velour jumpsuit is back? Everywhere I turn, I see women (and, yes, men) wearing these godawful things. Didn't we burn all the velour after the 70s? Didn't we learn that jumpsuits are not flattering, not on any form? Didn't we learn our lesson? Then why, why is the velour jumpsuit back?Read more...

Rihanna and Mary Kate Olsen sport the jumpsuit trend
Rather than wearing a vintage dress or even evening dresses, go with the inbetween; Jumpsuits this season are a mixed blessing.

Stella McCartney and Max Mara both have so

Leighton Meester and Natalie Portman wearing the Black & White trend
Pairing black and white is not a revolutionary idea; however, this old-school idea has been given a new school twist this season resulting in styles that are funky, edgy, fun, and anything but safe and boring.

Accessories can be kept to a minimum; just zip it up, slip into your favorite pumps (any color goes), grab a clutch (again, any color goes), and you're done!Read more...

Fashion Knockoffs
To Knockoff or not?
With anything “controversial” in the fashion industry and society, these fake luxury goods come with pros and cons. Do knockoffs actually benefit the fashion industry altogether?

Hot Colours for Fall/Winter 2008
Hot Colours for Fall/Winter 2008 really depends on how well you play your colors together and what you feel goes best with your mood for the quickly creeping up of the season!

But that doesn't mean you can't be fashionable and take things with you from the runway and be fashionable, but not doing it in an overboardRead more...
Graphic Print Tee Shirts
Graphic Print Tee-shirts ...Let's face it, most fashion trends out there just aren't for everyone. Depending on your figure, preference of style,etc... for example the wide waist belts or skinny jeans--not everyone can pull that off. Sorry!

Fashion No-No's You Should Never Make
Individual style should be applauded. Yes, it takes guts, personality and confidence to pull off certain looks, and anyone who expresses their individual style with gusto should be proud.

Don't get me wrong UGGs are cute, and I have a few pairs, but, I had to text my bf with a picture asking if itRead more...
Rachel Bilson's Line for DKNY- Edie Rose
Rachel Bilson's line for DKNY called Edie Rose is a new line we are going to learn to love. Not only is it easy accessible in stores (such as Macy's) but its affordable and chic too!

Edie Rose for DKNY Jeans steers clear of the hot pink corset hoodies and fauRead more...

Business
They sayy you need to go to college, you need to be prepared for the real world.

Beauty
they say beauty is in the eye of the beholder. well this weekend, I honestly could say that I found this almost 100% false. I had gone to my good friend Brie's pageant, the "Miss Fulton County pageant" . I was wondering, as I saw the 11 contestants introduced, not many were oversized young ladies, most were average or very fit, one or two were "chunky" . What I was wondering was do they have certain qualifications thaRead more...
Blah to This Place
Why is it that once people go away to college, they realize how different people from different places can be, and mostly resulting negatively, since many people don't like change and are closed minded. I have dealt with so many examples of ignorance and stupidity with remarks from people who have "something to say".Sure.... growing up in a different atmosphere than someone else, you are going to be different, you will
