Fashion bit...

Fashion, style, what is it all about? Seriously? Aren't all clothes...fashion? Isn't style based on a personal idea of what you believe to be flattering or appealing? As I sit here on this gloomy, great-for-sleep weather day, watching "Sex and The City" w/ Winter...enough said. This show showcases all types of fashions and styles for all! Chic, urban, grunge, hippy, skater, so on and so forth, men, women and in-between...fashion fashion fashion! What is your personal style? Do you follow trends? What other trends do you like?


It's Fall! Fashion trends will tell you to whip out your browns, blacks, tans, earth tones, oranges, reds and darker  shades to compliment the season. Turtle necks, cashmere sweaters, cardigans...the whole bit. Women, trendy women, will always throw a splash of neon on the darker tones. They must have something that pops!  


Naturally, I would describe my style as Urban/Skater/Casual. T-shirts, polo,  fitted jeans (NOT SKINNY), vest, flannel, button-up, casual shoe/a brown or black boot/dress shoe. I dress everything with my rings (sentimental) and a watch (Try not to over-do it. Do a bracelet or a ring, necklace or a bracelet. Always wear a watch). Lastly, fellas change it up sometimes. Cashmere sweaters, cardigans, jeans vs. pants...casual shoe vs. sneaker...plaid vs. logo shirts (ew!! Those shirts with the 6th grade designs and such..NO!)...To find out more about how I mix and match my style, the inspirations and pieces I pull to form my style, visit GQ, American Eagle, and Esquire-just to name a few!


Ladies, your turn! I was raised by my mom. I have three sisters, a lot of aunts, females cousins and females in general in my life. Needless to say, women apparel has been prominent in my life since forever. Did I mention, I follow, have talked to and recently have gotten to meet fashion icon Kimora Lee Simmons?! Yup! (Follow her on twitter @OfficialKimora.)  Let's get down to business. Heels heels heels! It elongates the legs. It supports the body. It adds curves and enhances a natural standing position...when done properly! Plus, it just looks s e x y!


Tis the season for a brown or darker shade, or animal print boot. A skinny jean and a street-chic shirt. (just a tip (smile)) You all have so many options to choose from. I can't even begin to get into it all. The best look for  a woman, in my opinion, a high high HIGH heel, a jean (skinny, or flare), a blouse (accessorize w/ belt for body flattering purposes if you wish...). Feel free to drape with a blazer. (For more ideas and tips on everyday fashion visit JustFab.com, Elle - just to name a few!)


Again, I can go on and on with you women. Men too! And let me be clear to the fellas. Yes, women have a greater selection to choose from, but our collection is fairly broad too. Mix and match! It goes a long way...ask the women!

Fashion is what it is...fashion; an expression of one's personality through items of clothing, put together to create a style.
