No more Project Runway? No problem. Can't get into Fashion Week? No Biggie. Now you can create your designer fashions in the privacy of our own home, with the help of Fred Flare's Origami Fashion Kit. There is one catch of course (isn't there always), the designs are fun and adorable but alas not wearable, after all they are paper. The kit contains a 28-page booklet that instructs you on the 'how to' of making everything from shoes, sleeveless cocktail dresses, to hats, shirts, intimate apparel and more. At $12.99 it is a worthwhile bargain that can help you tap into your inner fashion designer, as well as master the art of folds before you actually take on a Vogue pattern. The kit can be found online at fredflare.com.

Twilight, the new, slightly older, more mature and sensually charged Harry Potter-esque (vampires instead of wizards) movie has been racking up major buzz. The mere mention of Twilight gets millions of girls giddy at the thought of the fiercely romantic vampire/human novel. Well, that and Robert Pattinson, the lead in the movie. He’s so dreamy, isn’t he girls? All that crazy hair…

Of course, we here at Couture are also curious about the movie’s fashion and the effect on trends it will have for the Spring. Will we see an emergence of atypical teenage fare featured in the movie – hooded sweatshirts, jackets, T-shirts, jeans and sneakers, here and there – or will it filter out into a more punkish hybrid that some trends are already suggesting? Well either way, the movie looks like a lot of fun, and who doesn’t love effortless fashion? Check out the trailer, see the movie, and let us know what you think.

Tiered dresses are freeflowing and playful, whether the tiers are flat or ruffled. Feeling too flapper-esque? Dresses with longer tiers, like this one by kensie, are more fluid and will have you less likely to break out into the Charleston – wear them with colored tights and flats.
