The Uncommon Blazer

It doesn't take a lot of change to stand out.  One striking clothing piece can do it.  I  came across some men's blazers with distinct details, fabrics and color combinations that aren't common, but are very attractive.  And will look good on the man with an eye for charming apparel.

Ladies Streetstyle from 5 Countries

I had to do a post on ladies streetstyle from a few countries to balance out my last post on men's streetstyles from five countries.  It's interesting seeing what international people are wearing as well as those from my continent.  The world is getting smaller everyday, people are basically wearing the same things, but with a cultural twist to them.

Celebrating My New Boots

I was fortunate to receive a pair of boots that I was eyeing for some time sooner than I expected to get it.  I wasn't expecting to get it for two months.  It's looks close enough to the grey ugg boots I posted in my blog titled "Comfortable Style" in  August.  The boots reach just below the knee, they're grey imitation suede (yay!) and have a flat heel.  I love the color grey for this season.

To celebrate my grey boots, I'm focusing on boots in this blog.

Fashionistas Clothing Must Haves for Fall/Winter 2010

My list of must have clothing pieces for fall and winter 2010 is somewhat different than  other lists I've looked at today.  At least the lists, and mine, agree on three pieces of clothing, the boot, the military jacket and the knit sweater ( theirs mention chunky sweaters and mine mention the fitted turtleneck).  I'm not doing too bad!

According to www.womensfashion.suite101.com and www fashionising.com, the clothing pieces to add to your wardrobe are:

  1. Thigh high boots
  
  2. Sheer clothing      (blouses, dresses)
  
  3.  Leather clothing  (skirts, jackets)  
  
  4.  Asymmetrical tops

  5.  Military jacket

  6.  Chunky knits
 
  7.  Capes and cloaks






The three items from this list that weren't on mine that I would also like to have are  the sheer blouse and dress, asymmetrical top and a chunky knit sweater.  I've been wearing sheer blouses that I've made over tank tops for the past few summers.  I'd like a sheer dress to wear over a strap dress, this is something I'll have to make.  I love loose sheers, they're easy to wear and allow the skin to breathe (but this doesn't apply for winter).  Asymmetrical blouses I find refreshing, somewhat out of the box, a bohemian look.  And for those of you that know I design bohemian style clothing, asymmetrical is definately up my alley.  Who can let a winter pass by without having a comfy sweater to wear,  especially for outings such as tobogganing and skating?
