The Fringe Thing

When you see fringed clothes, what comes to your mind? Native American garments?  The 1920s Flapper period? Maybe hippies and rock and roll music.  

Fringe has been part of clothing design over many decades.  It looks as if it's resurfacing again in fashion, and has refreshing new ways of being incorporated into the clothes and accessories we wear.

Accent Your Fall with Leather

Fall and the cool weather that comes with it is here once again. The old as time leather is back again as well with another use in fashion.  Instead of being the main attraction, it's combined with other materials for a combined new look of comfort and strength.  Can't get any better!

Accent your fall with leather.

Urban Fashion 2012: Men's Edition...

I saw a current GQ magazine cover featuring Denzel Washington on Facebook, and he is looking very sharp and sophisticated in the double breasted suit.  I can't believe he's 57 years old, he looks about 47!  (I find people looking younger than their ages now a days...)

Well, I wanted to focus on suits for men, but I was steered to urban fashion.  City clothes has so many personalities, from street clothes to three piece suits.  It's a fun category of fashion.

Comfortable Style

This is my look for fall and winter 2010.  The clothing and accessories are all pieces that have been in style before and even last year.  The look is so flattering it has to be popular a few more years.  It's a nice casual look with a bit of flare.  Simple lines, easy fit, stylish and comfortable.  Notice that the leggings aren't absolutely clinging to the legs but have a very slight loose fit.  The tunique can be a long blouse or a short dress, as long as it reaches mid thigh.  The scarf adds extra interest to the look, and the boots (flat heels, yeah!)  are pure comfort and compliments the leggings.

The second group, still the same pieces as above, looks slightly dressier.  I just love the grey uggs!  It's not a common color for boots at all, but it looks good.

My Must Haves for Fall/Winter 2009-10

Many of us love to watch what the stars are wearing.  Many of us love to watch fashion tv.  Many of us love to dream of having a fabulous and expensive wardrobe.  But most of us have to watch our budget.

 I don't change my wardrobe too often.   I usually buy a few pieces each year to add to my wardrobe.  Yes, I sew, but I find I'd rather sew for others so I don't find time to design fantastic clothing to wear myself.  I do alter some of my old pieces to modernize them though.       


 

                                                
My must haves for  2009-10 are:    
1.  Turtleneck.  Fitted, monotone colour, narrow neck.               
2.  Scarves.  Long mult-coloured or one coloured scarves   
3.  Plaid semi-fitted shirt.  Narrow plaids please.
4.  Fitted jacket.  Traditional or military style.
5.  Long a-line skirt.  Preferably in denim or a dark colour.
6.  Ugg-style boots.  I don't need the original, just affordable.  

These are basic but stylish clothing that mixed and matched can change your look from business to casual.  
 
I've been following fashion websites and viewing what has been considered must haves for this winter.  Comparing my simple list and the fashionistas' lists will be interesting.

Till next blog.
