one-shoulder clothing trend

legs and breasts are often a girl's best fashion accessory, but if neither are your strongest features, or you're after something a little less cliche but equally sensual, look to your shoulders and indulge. note all the hair trends. its all the same stuff just their own rendition.
and here is annalynne mccord at the jill stuart fashion show in nyc just a few nights ago:

off the runway...2010 hair accessories

here are some accessories from what was seen on the runway

bunny ears & feathers

bunny ears
louis vuitton sent their interpretation of bunny ear headbands down the runway. unsurprisingly, the humble headband is in comeback mode for 2009 and 2010; but don't go reaching for your girl-next-door alice band just yet. this is a specific micro-trend that marries the sexiness of a vintage playboy bunny with the elegance of high fashion.

how to wear it
do: go for tousled bedhair, a simple up-do, or 60's sex-kitten voluminous locks; be fashion-forwards, daring, and confident; have fun with it.

don't: spoil it by wearing cheap costume props. the appeal is in the luxury. this doesn't necessarily mean spending bucketloads, just choosing quality materials and well-crafted accessories.

do: wear it for a night out, day at the races, and any fun or frivolous activity. a big set of bunny ears is probably not so great for the office.

don't: wear it with outfits that are too cutesy or girly; it's a fine balance between smoldering sexiness and girly innocence that makes this trend so workable.

who's designing it?
louis vuitton, as mentioned above, have garnered plenty of attention with their take. but before Marc Jacobs got rabbity
for LV, maison michel had lace bunny and cat ear headbands in his fall 2009 collection. there were also bow hats on moschino cheap & chic's autumn(fall)/winter 2009 runway that were reminiscent of mickey-mouse ears.

feathers
i love feathers. it's their natural beauty; the compendium of a multitude of hues brought together in vibrant patterns governed by nature... all for attracting a mate. just think about the grace and style of the peacock and you will see what i mean. well, the feather trend has been creeping up on catwalks since A/W 08-09, and I think its about time we all took a flight of fancy!
one of the easiest ways to wear the feather trend is as part of headwear. with a choice between a cute array on dainty slides or skinny alice bands with shoots of feathers coming off, it doesn't take a lot of daring to pull it off. then there's the next step, for the truly fashion obsessed: the headband.

the headband craze sweeping modern bohemia loves their feathered friend. now headbands can be found made with real feathers on websites that make unique designs (check out etsy to see what i'm talking about), or in high street chains like Accessorize who specialise in fascinators adorned with them. think peaches geldof and nicole richie and you won't be far off in emulating what I'm describing.

If you're brave you can go for the headdress look a la erin wasson at chanel. wasson looks like a modern day tiger lily, conjuring up images of exotic elegance and fun. the headdress brings a playful touch to her otherwise innocent, pure white ensemble.

what do you think? would you ever accessorize with bunny ears or feathers?

look of the week

here are kristin cavallari and audrina patridge shopping in LA.
nothing sexier than a t-shirt and jeans. the great thing about this look is its cheap and comfortable. doesn't get much better than that.

you can also make this look completely your own: take your husband/boyfriend's favorite tee or go shop in the mens(or little boys) section for a worn looking vintage tee in a suitable size for you. go home throw it in the wash in warm water to shrink it down to hug your curves a bit.

if you're looking to add a bit more feminine touch, try this:
we bought this tee from target in the men's section for about $10! they have great graphic tee selection
take your scissors and cut a slit right down the middle
tadaaa!
if you're nervous about trying this on a favorite shirt, try it on an old shirt you sleep in. we recommend wearing this look with jeans, heels, and some feminine jewlrery. balance is important in any outfit. you will want to counter the masculine shirt with some sexy heels and earrings and those fabulous curves. also, make the look that much better buying some sort of graphic that means something to you.

here is jessica simpson wearing one of our most favori
te brand of retro, comfy tees:
these shirts are amazing. check them out here: http://www.shop.originalretrobrand.com/

or, if you are looking for something cheaper, check out urban outfitters, urban blues, or our favorite, target.

happy vogue.
