Vogue Virgin says “Yes!” to Winter White

Dream Culture Ruffle Turtleneck

Dream Culture Ruffle Turtleneck

“No white after Labor Day,” has been a long-taught rule. I’ve always followed it, but this year I’m in the mood to try something new and finally prove that rule wrong. Now of course no one should wear white linen pants in the middle of January, but what about white wool pants? I say, “Go for it!” Fabric is very important though. Wool, cotton, satin and silk are great for Fall and Winter. White shoes after Labor Day are still a big no-no. Try to pair your white with some colorful items to avoid being labeled a “snow queen.” Remember: white after Labor Day is definately doable!

 What is soft, furry, and seen with all the young starlets? No, I’m not talking about those tiny dogs, I am talking about Fall’s newest trend: the fur vest. Whether it’s real or faux, it’s a major no! These vests are usually paired with plaid flannels, skinny jeans, and tall brown boots to achieve the “western look.” Unless, you actually work on a ranch, steer clear of this furry faux-paux!

Introducing guest blogger: Vogue Virgin! Never Afraid to Try New Things, She Discovers How Bibs Can be Hot at Any Age!

Bib Necklace

Bib Necklace

I am constantly looking for new trends and am always up for trying something new. While doing my ritual online shopping, the bib necklace caught my eye. It is a must-have for your Fall wardrobe. Filled with embellishments and vibrant beads, it can spice up any outfit. Covered with a mixture of colors and stones, these necklaces make an extremely loud fashion statement. Bib necklaces get their special name by gently tying behind your neck and having a shape similar to a child’s bib. I would wear these super hot new necklaces with any low cut v-neck shirt, dress, or collard blouse.  These definately add a pop of color to any outfit but, remember this necklace can stand alone. Don’t over power it by pairing it with clothing that has a bold print. I’ve found prices ranging everywhere from $10 at Forever 21 to $1,200 at Saks Fifth Ave. Bib necklaces will be the new “it” piece that fits everyone’s style.

Trend Trasher Gives the Cold Shoulder to Shoulder Pads!

Wednesday, September 2nd, 2009

 The 80′s are responsible for some of the most embaressing fashion trends of all time. It’s funny for us to look back at those ridiculous trends and have a good laugh. The most notorious 80′s fad is of course the shoulder pads. It pains me to tell you that shoulder pads are making a comeback. No one should aspire to look like a linebacker! Everyone should give shoulder pads the cold shoulder so we don’t look back at our pictures from 2009 asking ourselves the age old queston, “What was I thinking?!?”

The Boyfriend Blazer; a how-to guide

Wednesday, September 2nd, 2009
Free People Boyfriend Blazer
Free People Boyfriend Blazer

In the continuation of all things “boyfriend,” the boyfriend blazer is a fall essential. Blazers are everywhere for fall, so before buying, make sure it is an actual boyfriend blazer. A boyfriend blazer is menswear inspired and is definately oversized. Just because the boyfriend blazer is big and bulky doesn’t mean you have to look big and bulky. Adding a belt is a great way to show off your waist and add an accessory. Wearing this trend with leggings or skinny jeans, will still show off your figure and gives your outfit an element of volume without overdoing it. For an extra touch, check out embellished Boyfriend Blazers. Studs, crystals, or textures, like the lace on this Free People Boyfriend Blazer, takes this fashion trend to the next level!
