I am the pale redhead with the pale legs who rarely sees the sun (my skin will thank me later!). In order to compensate for the heat I go with a long blowy dress, also called a maxi-dress, that will cover my legs, but leave me free to enjoy the breeze. Bonus for not having to worry about it blowing up and showing everything in the subway ......... ]]> http://www.fashionblogsite.com/blogs/permalinks/7-2008/compensating-for-paleness.php http://www.fashionblogsite.com/blogs/permalinks/7-2008/compensating-for-paleness.php Fri, 04 Jul 2008 03:54:51 GMT Summer is usually all about the short dress, which is all well and great for people with fantastic tanned legs, which is not me.

I’m like a cat with a little bell around my neck - my friends can always tell exactly where I am at any given time due to excessive charms and bangles jingle jangling. Despite said addiction, I rarely buy into jewelry trends or invest in new styles, preferring my eclectic collection of hand-me downs, charms from my travels and vintage ......... ]]> http://www.fashionblogsite.com/blogs/permalinks/5-2008/primal-shopping-urges.php http://www.fashionblogsite.com/blogs/permalinks/5-2008/primal-shopping-urges.php Mon, 19 May 2008 00:03:02 GMT Last weekend my friend and I had a fabulously successful shopping day. We were vaguely in the market for some kind of dress to wear to Senior Night (I''m not really sure what it is, but I''ve been told the dress code is semi-formal.) Mostly, though, we were just shopping because we felt like shopping. It''s a primal urge among fashion bloggers, I''ve been told.

My purchases: A pair of light blue, thin (and therefore perfect for summer), comfy, baggy jeans on sale for $4.99 (!), a gorgeous halter top discounted to a reasonable price, a cute belt, the world''s softest white tee, and a ......... ]]> http://www.fashionblogsite.com/blogs/permalinks/5-2008/fashion-victims-or-fashion-visionaries.php http://www.fashionblogsite.com/blogs/permalinks/5-2008/fashion-victims-or-fashion-visionaries.php Sat, 17 May 2008 02:14:21 GMT No matter what, both Sarah Jessica Parker and Mary-Kate Olsen always set the fashion world abuzz with their outfit choices, and never seem to apologize for their mis-steps. Case in point? The latest get-ups that the two were photographed ......... ]]> http://www.fashionblogsite.com/blogs/permalinks/5-2008/guest-post-time.php http://www.fashionblogsite.com/blogs/permalinks/5-2008/guest-post-time.php Fri, 09 May 2008 02:36:04 GMT Ladies and gentlemen, boy oh boy do I have a treat for you!

Not for some kind of twisted juvenile comfort, but for style inspiration, of course. Yes, I intend to drift through the monotony of grown-up life this spring in a colour palette derived entirely from My Little Pony. ......... ]]> http://www.fashionblogsite.com/blogs/permalinks/4-2008/new-definition-of-beauty.php http://www.fashionblogsite.com/blogs/permalinks/4-2008/new-definition-of-beauty.php Thu, 10 Apr 2008 01:39:42 GMT Part of Dove real beuty workshop for girls.The transformation. ]]> http://www.fashionblogsite.com/blogs/permalinks/4-2008/new-fashion-territory-art-purses.php http://www.fashionblogsite.com/blogs/permalinks/4-2008/new-fashion-territory-art-purses.php Mon, 07 Apr 2008 00:26:30 GMT You probably haven’t heard of Kathleen Dustin. I hadn’t even heard of her until a few days ago, when a friend of mine who knows that I’m always looking for interesting takes on fashion passed along her website to me.

You are probably thinking - on a perfectly sunny day, perhaps the tree behind cast its shadow over the curtain, giving it the beautiful breezy look, right? Wrong. Take a look at the picture ......... ]]> http://www.fashionblogsite.com/blogs/permalinks/3-2008/ballerina-fashionista.php http://www.fashionblogsite.com/blogs/permalinks/3-2008/ballerina-fashionista.php Sun, 30 Mar 2008 22:45:37 GMT Contrary to what the magazines would have you believe, there is a way to float through Spring’s romance-spun reverie withough having to overload your garden with never-ending floral prints. A new production of ballerina chic is a vision of femininity restrained, of a restricted softness that can render its wearer an honoury member of the Ballet Russes. ......... ]]> http://www.fashionblogsite.com/blogs/permalinks/3-2008/we-are-eco-warriors.php http://www.fashionblogsite.com/blogs/permalinks/3-2008/we-are-eco-warriors.php Thu, 27 Mar 2008 01:08:34 GMT Going green might be old news in the fashion world, but it''s having an effect on high-end designers and British high street brands as we speak. More than a year after making headlines in the tabloids and broadsheets, Eco-Fashion is still a very hot topic. ......... ]]> http://www.fashionblogsite.com/blogs/permalinks/3-2008/check-bucket-bag.php http://www.fashionblogsite.com/blogs/permalinks/3-2008/check-bucket-bag.php Wed, 19 Mar 2008 01:42:08 GMT Today, I spotted the Burberry Patchwork Check Bucket Bag. I consider this handbag to be a bit too exaggerating. Burberry attempted to give the signature checkered pattern a nice twist, but personally, I''m not really feeling it. I can''t imagine myself carrying this one bag around town. No offense Burberry, but this patchwork bag looks like a total knockoff! Why the irregular pattern? Isn''t an uneven pattern a major red flag when distinguishing an authentic Burberry bag over a fake bag? In my preferences, I certainly wouldn''t buy an authentic Burberry bag containing such an obvious uneven ......... ]]> http://www.fashionblogsite.com/blogs/permalinks/3-2008/the-jacquelyn-bag.php http://www.fashionblogsite.com/blogs/permalinks/3-2008/the-jacquelyn-bag.php Tue, 11 Mar 2008 10:57:18 GMT Anyway, for those of you that are not familiar with Junior Drake, here is a little background info quoted from the Junior Drake ......... ]]> http://www.fashionblogsite.com/blogs/permalinks/3-2008/project-runway-season-4-finale.php http://www.fashionblogsite.com/blogs/permalinks/3-2008/project-runway-season-4-finale.php Mon, 10 Mar 2008 00:44:34 GMT Alas! the winner of Project Runway was crowned last night. The collections that the final three designers showcased at Bryant Park were the strongest out of all of the seasons of the show thus far. ......... ]]> http://www.fashionblogsite.com/blogs/permalinks/2-2008/miu-miu-woven-leather-hobo-bag.php http://www.fashionblogsite.com/blogs/permalinks/2-2008/miu-miu-woven-leather-hobo-bag.php Wed, 13 Feb 2008 00:55:52 GMT One of the latest new additions is the Miu Miu woven fringe hobo. The hobo is dressed in a woven pattern body and features double trails of fringe down each side. Not as dramatic as Miu Miu''s distant relatives version* - Prada''s Nappa Weave Flap Hobo. Still I have never been a fan of tassel fringe. I would get the urge to pull out the scissors and start snipping away. Or at least avoid this bag all together. What do you guys think? A hit or ......... ]]> http://www.fashionblogsite.com/blogs/permalinks/2-2008/insprired-by-nature.php http://www.fashionblogsite.com/blogs/permalinks/2-2008/insprired-by-nature.php Wed, 13 Feb 2008 00:29:03 GMT A big trend showing up on the runways is all things nature inspired. Alexander McQueen did an entire headdress made out of butterflies but you don't have to go that far. Think gauzy fabrics to replicate the delicateness of a butterfly's wing. Think adding a rose broach or a piece with a few feathers on it. Try a t-shirt made from organic cotton or even jus something as simple are an earth tone palette. This trend is very much open to your ......... ]]> http://www.fashionblogsite.com/blogs/permalinks/2-2008/the-scientific-basis-for-red-being-the-color-of-love.php http://www.fashionblogsite.com/blogs/permalinks/2-2008/the-scientific-basis-for-red-being-the-color-of-love.php Tue, 12 Feb 2008 23:36:48 GMT The Beauty Brains, as part of their series of posts leading up to Valentine''s Day, discuss the possibility of a scientific reason behind the color red as the symbol of love. According to an article in NewScientist, our ability to see colors may have evolved to help us spot emotional cues, such as blushing in the context of mating. Prior research had suggested that humans developed the acute ability to see colors in order to identify ripe fruit and edible leaves, but a new study now points to our need/desire to access a potential mate''s emotions as the driving force behind this ......... ]]> http://www.fashionblogsite.com/blogs/permalinks/1-2008/comfy-laptop-bag-and-carry-all.php http://www.fashionblogsite.com/blogs/permalinks/1-2008/comfy-laptop-bag-and-carry-all.php Thu, 24 Jan 2008 01:02:24 GMT You''re a laptop lugger - your computer is nearly an extra appendage, so you place a price on functionality, fashion, and comfort.
