Easy Fashion Tips: Cut it Out!

No matter which way it’s sliced, (slashed and or shredded for that matter), cutout garments are stealing the style spotlight. Perhaps it’s the feeling of being slightly provocative without being overly risqué that makes cutouts a trend almost anyone can comfortably wear. Cutouts or often referred to as cutaway styles can be found in anything from tops, dresses, and even a few bottoms.

Handbag Report: Chaining Things Up for Summer

Chain handles are one of the leading trends for Spring and Summer 2009 and can give your otherwise classic ensemble an edgy, modern look. Leading handbag designers including Marc Jacobs, Chanel, Prada and Moschino have added gleaming chain handles to their accessories lineups, and many other shoulder bag designers are following suit. But how do you wear this style with your summer outfit? Here are the different types of chains that work with different types of looks this season:

The oversized chain with buckle embellishments is a great addition to your oversized hobo or a large weekender bag. It’s a fresh, funky and casual look for your everyday bag, and works well for day and night.

The gleaming gold and silver chain is the perfect addition to a miniature shoulder bag for your night out on the town. It’s also appearing on stylish clutches and miniature pochettes to add some shine to your look. Look for thinner, necklace-style chain handles to complete your look for an elegant affair.

A leather and metal interlocking chain handle is a great way to dress up a casual outfit for summer, and this type of handle is appearing on both shoulder bags and bucket bags this season. The interlocking chain handle also provides some extra support and is highly durable for this season and beyond.

Double or triple chain handle bags are great for a dressy, rocker-chic inspired look and are a good match for wrap dresses, halter dresses and miniskirts you’re sporting this summer. These multi-chain bags double as an accessory that will become the focal point of your outfit, so avoid wearing too much jewelry with your ensemble to make the most of your look.

The half-chain handle bag is the latest sophisticated office-wear accessory. These bags are designed with a leather covering at the top of the chain, and give you the added benefit of extra comfort with the soft padded leather handle. Give your office ensemble a fresh, modern twist with one of these bags by your side. The half-chain handle bag made with patent leather, quilted leather or soft buttery-leather finish is a versatile and chic look for your office collection.

Pearls of Wisdom

Moschino’s pearl-embellished platform sandals are at once playful, whimsical, and an edgy twist on a iconic classic, much like the company itself. Take charge of the boardroom with a structured three-quarter sleeved belt dress and elelgant silver and pearl jewelry.

Celebrity Style: Dress Casually Like a Star

Celebrities are not always wearing red carpet dresses. No, most of the time a celebrity is photographed they are shopping, going to the airport, or just relaxing at lunch with a friend or significant other. So, how can you look like a celebrity when you dress casually? Here are some outfits that are staples for celebrities and their casual day looks.

Jeans and a white t-shirt. Just about every celebrity has been photographed wearing jeans and a white t-shirt, including men. Kate Hudson was just spotted wearing jeans with a white t-shirt as she headed through the airport. Although this look is really simple and plain, it is the ultimate look for cool and casual. Make sure to keep the t-shirt fitted so you don’t look sloppy. You can add some style to the look by pairing the white tee with jeans that are faded or worn or go a bit dressier with trouser jeans and platform heels. You can also add a colorful scarf to the outfit or put on some funky jewelry pieces to add some more style.

Another casual look for celebrities is the cotton dress. The dress can be long or short. All that matters is that it is comfortable yet stylish. Celebrities such as Nicole Richie, Ashlee Simpson, Rachel Bilson and Natalie Portman are all fans of casual cotton dresses. There are tons of different ways you can take this celebrity fashion trend. You can keep it simple like this Moschino cotton dress , or you can choose a busier dress with flowers or one that is longer. The key to this celebrity fashion trend is to just keep it simple with clean lines and try to look like you aren’t trying hard to be in style.

The Daily Trend - Ruffled Coats

Add a romantic detail to your winter coat with a ruffled one. Big or small, a little ruffle goes a long way, like with this Moschino nylon ruffled belted coat . Warm and fashionable, this coat looks good over long skirts and jeans and boots alike.

Keep It Cool

Valentine’s Day is coming up, and this usually means guys go through a series of emotions when their girlfriend is expecting something big, extravagant, fancy and romantic. First there’s panic, then there’s doubt about whether they can come up with something great, then frustration, and finally, they settle on a dinner in a nice restaurant that’s dimly lit. Good choice, guys – especially if you dress for the
occasion with a nice blazer and nice slacks. Then your girlfriend really won’t be able to resist you.

How To Wear It: 1.) Jean Paul Gaultier grey button-down 2.) Hugo Boss charcoal pants 3.) Moschino navy blazer 4.) Cesare Paciotti shoes
