Celebrity sighting, wearing latest trends for fall.

2009-09-28T14:07:00.000-07:00

There are so many trends this fall how can anyone keep up (please, I can barley keep up and fashion is my thing). When we see celebrities in haute outfits we usually get inspired to rock something very similar, they give us inspiration to put our best look forward. Just don't forget not all celebrities know about fashion and style (just because it's on a celebrity doesn't mean it's the hottest trend to rock.) And let's not forget that just because someone is saying this is the hottest trend doesn't mean you have got to rock it (everything ain't for everybody.) With that being said here are some of your favorite celebrities rocking some of fall's latest fashion trends for 2009.

The Boyfriend jean was the menswear trend for last season, and here we have Penelope Cruz rocking the boyfriend blazer for fall 2009. The boyfriend blazer can be worn in so many ways, it can be worn with leggings, skinny jeans, mini skirts and fun flirty dresses.

This Fall RED is one of the biggest color trends for fall 2009. A lot of designers are using this lipstick red color in a lot of their designs this season. Pictured here Taylor Swift rocks a lipstick red sheath dress here in NYC for fashion week.

Now I'm a little confused with this trend, bleached denim. I think bleached denim should have been a trend for the spring/summer trends, but people are wearing it for fall. Pictured below is Fergie embracing his trend. She has several pairs of bleached denim jeans. The jeans that she is pictured in are J Brand for $198.

I have been talking about this trend for so long now: studs and buckles. This is one of the hottest trends of the season. You can make so many looks with this one trend. One of my favorites is the rocker chic look, this look will look great with a leather mini. Here is a variation of this look, Kim K is wearing a mini with a studded belt and studded platform shoes.

We are all familiar with the sheath dress aka Secretary dress, this trend is still very popular this fall. This look is very famine and sophisticated more like office meets cocktail party. It can be dressed up or down. So you actually can wear it to the office and go out the same evening and enjoy the night life. Pictured here is Victoria Beckham wearing a dress from her line.

I posted this trend in my fall shoe trend post earlier this week, The over the knee boot. This is a trend that you have to be very careful with because if not done right it can look a little hookerish. Lol. So preferably someone with slender long legs should wear this. Pictured wearing his trend is Jenna Dawn.

One of my other favorite trends is the neon pink trend, anybody who knows me well knows that pink is my favorite color and it doesn't matter what shade of pink either. I love this trend because you can wear an 80's inspired look with this color and it's hot for fall it just gives you a pop of color when usually fall colors are so dull. Wearing this trend is Blake Liverly wearing a Micheal Kors dress.

Will anybody ever stop wearing leggings, I don't think so. Leggings are very comfortable and sexy at the same time. You can use them for multi purposes. So with that being said I don't think we will be getting rid of leggings any time soon. Bootylicious diva Beyonce is rocking leggings with pumps in this picture. Lindsey Lohan is another star who loves leggings, she started her own line of skin tight styled leggings.

As a fellow Jewelry designer myself I'm trying to master the next trend: The statement necklace. The statement necklace is an over sized necklace that can be worn to dress up a simple LBD or any simple outfit that needs a little makeover. Kristen Cavallari is wearing a statement necklace in this picture.

Along with his music he influenced us in fashion, when MJ died he inspired designers to imitate his signature military styled jacket that at times had sequins on it which is another trend. The military styled jacket is a big trend for fall.

Metallics are a hot trend for the night life, metallic leggings, shoes maybe a clutch (not all at once, but a hint here or there. I repeat do not attempt to wear it all at once, you will look like the tin man or beyonce in one of her concert costumes. lol )

Another trend that I see H.S students and some people that are not so fashion forward OD on is the plaid trend: The plaid trend is hot for fall but to much of it is not good.

Believe it or not Sequins is another hot fall trend made to wear during the day time (a little shimmer here a little shimmer there don't OD.

Update: Beyonce's denim leggings photoed above are from NY & Company and they cost $17.

2009-06-24T10:15:00.000-07:00

If you are plus size and can't find trendy clothes to fit you, I know how you feel. A lot of plus size clothing lack style and you pay so much for things that would be less expensive if you were a slim woman or girl. I found some looks that are very fashionable and won't break the bank.

Hot bags for the little fashionista's in your life

2009-06-12T07:41:00.000-07:00

My daughter Jordan is 3 yrs. old and she's already a little fashionista, she likes to play dress up, she likes to shop with me and look at clothes online, and she even puts some of her outfits together. So when I was browsing on line and came across these bags I knew I had to share with everyone. My daughter is a little to young for some of the bags, but I think the little heart bag will be cute for her. I think these bags are good for 5 year old's and older because they cost $$ you don't want to purchase it for such a young child, and they don't take care of it.

Ideas for fathers Day

2009-06-11T18:53:00.000-07:00

Father's Day is in a week and some days, and if your father is in your life or you have a husband, boyfriend, or child's father that participates in your child's life or in your life you should celebrate them and let them know that all that they do is appreciated, and that your grateful to have them in your life. I don't think father's get the recognition that mother's do, so let's remember all the wonderful things that Father's do. Here are some ideas for father day gifts. Now I know you are probably saying why are those under ware there but as a mother you know sometimes you don't wear matching bra and panties and the same goes for men sometimes you get so indulge in your everyday life problems and stress that you forget to take care of you and the same goes for men. So buy some sexy boxers and make them feel good about them self's. All of these items can be purchased at Bloomingdale's.

Prom Season

Hey Diva's and Divo's. You know what time it is. It's prom season when all of the high school seniors graduate from high school and celebrate with a huge year end party. Prom time is a time for seniors to relax and kick off their shoes for a job well done. but this experience is not what most thought it would be, because some can't afford it or they think they can't afford it. I know prom tickets can also be expensive, so I am here to help. I found so many styles for under $200. I would show the pictures of the dress but I haven't mastered that part yet, but there's a lot of websites that you can go to that have beautiful dresses for under $200, like Davids Bridal,promdress2009.com, tiza.com and Macy's I even found some beautiful dresses on bloomingdales.com
