#10 "It's the Holiday Season.."

... so whoop-dee-do and dickory-dock..

Wait.. did you say HOLIDAY SEASON??

Yes, indeed it is that time of the year again as we all wonder where the year went, how fast time flew buy and where am I going to get the money to buy everyone a gift?

Well before we all start panicking about buying gifts and before we all stuff our faces on thanksgiving and continuously gain weight until after New Years, let's focus on looking cute while doing all that!

It's getting cold and everyone is starting to bundle up, but instead of only wearing leggings, uggs and sweaters, lets make the cold look good. As I walk around the city I've passed many stores that have holiday clothes in the window and I see so many cute outfits put together that I want to wear for myself. I've decided to pick out some cute winter key items that I think everyone should have to look fashionable while we freeze our butts off.

here are some suggestions:

1. Leather gloves in a fun color or with funky detail!
I have a pair of nice red ones and I bought my mom a pair in fuchsia. Polyvore has nice leather gloves with studs and embellishments on them, but if you're looking for simpler ones, check out Macy's!


 2. (Faux) Fur Scarf
whether you're an animal activist or not, furry scarves always look good. Vince Camuto has a nice black fur scarf, I got mine and Urban Outfitters, they have a nice selection, but if you're price conscious, Forever 21 has some as well!



3. Over the Knee Boots
Whether you like to wear heels or not, over the knee boots always look sexy and come in a variety of colors: black, camel, brown. Aldo has a lot of pairs and so does Vince Camuto, but also check the Macy's shoe floor!


 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 


4. Shimmery tights and legwear
These paired with a little black dress will make your outfit much more exciting! I have yet to own a pair but I definitely will have some in my drawers soon! Forever21 has a lot of cute tights for cheap! But once again check out Macy's they have a lot as well!
 
 
 
Alright ladies, go get your to-do lists done, go shopping and enjoy your holidays while looking great! :) (also these make great gifts too!!)

#9 New Fashion Shows

Fashion Shows have really evolved over the years and they will definitely continue to do so. With designers putting different twists and setting up the scene in interesting ways, it has become deeper entertainment.
During Paris Fashion Week, Rick Owens most definitely entertained!
Rick Owens had a step team perform during his show.
It became the most talked-about moment of the season!
Instead of using "rail-thin" models, he had real people; step dancers he recruited from dance sororities all over the US.
The dancers were "mean-mugging" while dancing their intense, powerful moves and it was said that this "represented a culture so often overlooked in this industry" while Sussie Bubble said "the most powerful and provocative statement in the last decade"




Rick Owens wanted to prove that Real people can wear High fashion.

Bravo, Rick Owens, Bravo! *applause*
