Fall Trend Report: Ruffles

I don’t know if you can really call this a trend because some women have been wearing ruffles for decaes, but this look was seen all over the A/W 2010 runways during fashion week. This “trend” is very feminine and chic. Great for a casual look, work, or a night on the town. This fall, go beyond tops and dresses, look for ruffled skirts, jackets, and also accessories like shoes and bags. Because of the volume of the ruffles, this look should be paired with tailored itmes like a slim jacket, or a slim/sleek pants. Here are a few pieces that will definitely ruffle some feathers.

Dorothy Perkins mink ruffled cardigan $32
Forever 21 Fiona Ruffle Satin Top $17.80
Miss Selfridge Cream 3/4 Sleeve Tier Top $42
Arden B. Ruffle Front Tie Shoulder Tunic $22
Oasis Ruffle Cardigan $16
Candies designed by Britney Ruffled Tunic $38
Forever 21 Ruffled Crinkle Top $19.80
Boden Ruffle Top $38

Pink Ruffle Pumps $29.99
Merona Meaghan Ruffled Flat Shoes $19.99

Alloy Tasha Ruffle Skirt $32.90
Rampage Rome Clutch Bag $47.49
Metropark Navy French Terry Skirt $40
System Ruffle Shoe $40
Roxy Ruffled Up Shoulder Bag $30

All of the items listed are below $50. You do not have to spend a fortune to look good 🙂

William Rast is coming to Target

By Jai Leave a Comment

Yes you read correctly, Justin Timberlake’s William Rast clothing line will be sold in Target. This December we will be able to snag great denim, outer wear and sportswear from this affordable, limited-edition collection.

According to PopCrunch

“The winter collection of men and women’s apparel will feature the premium denim, outerwear, and sportswear that has become the William Rast signature. William Rast for Target debuts at most Target stores nationwide and online at the retailer’s website Target.com this Dec. 19 and will fill the racks through Jan. 22, 2011.”

Target is definitely making major moves! This is probably going to be one of the biggest collaborations since Justin Timberlake has such a huge fan base. I’m excited for this and its just in time for Christmas so this could definitely be added to the list.

Dolce Vita for Target

By Jai 4 Comments

Target has done it again, an incredible collaboration with Dolce Vita. The collection is comprised of various flats and boots. Two of the hottest trends this fall will be the military style and shoes/boots with hardware. This collection has a great pair of combat boots for $34.99. This particular pair of boots can turn you into a Williamsburg Hipster, but you have to have the attitude to match.

Another great trend this 2010 F/W season is studded shoes. Like Louboutin and other designers, studs will instantly update any pair of flats. These tiny little details can make any outfit standout. What’s great about this collection is that it is very affordable. Both pair of boots go for $34.99 and the flats go for $29.99.

I particulary like the studded oxfords and the combat boots. They are definitely on my fall wish list.

This collection is exclusively available at the new Target in East Harlem, but it is also available online (Click Here)

Jeans for Every Body

By Jai Leave a Comment

Jeans are an essential part of every woman’s wardrobe. With fall right around the corner, jeans are needed to help pull together a polished look. Many people shy away from denim because they simply do not know the right wash or style to purchase, but what they do not realize is that there are many styles that fit all body types.

In fashion magazines like Glamour and Lucky, the August issues focus on finding the perfect jeans. Discount retailers like Target have adopted a new promotional add entitled “Be Jeanius,” which simply means being smart and finding the perfect jeans. During the pre-fall fashion season denim is heavily promoted. Stores like the Gap are also running promotions like “Born To Fit” showcasing jeans of varying styles.

Here is a list and description of jeans that will have you, or keep you, looking stylish, polished and overall great.

Skinny Jeans
Snug fitting jeans through the leg that are tapered at the ankles. These jeans hug the curves and with a platform heel creates the illusion of a longer, leaner leg.

Boyfriend Jeans
These jeans are the definition of men’s wear with a touch of femininity. Although they are very loose fitting paired with a fitted top and heels, men’s wear has now been transformed into something fashionable and stylish for women.

Trouser Jeans
These jeans have the look and, sometimes feel, of trouser pants. They can be worn wide leg or straight leg. They give a very polished look, especially if they are a dark denim wash.

Jeggings
No they are not officially jeans, but you get the comfort of leggings with a more polished look. Jeggings can give the illusion of skinny jeans, if and only if, they are made of quality material. Brands like Express have great looking jeggings that could easily be mistaken for jeans. (Kim that was for you lol)
