The BIG Black Hat

I usually don't talk about things I don't like...but, the new hat trend is just not cute to me...what do you guys think???

www.whowhatweardaily.com wrote about where you can buy these hideous hats...I know I am being bias...but, if you are interested in checking these out go to this site for places to buy:)

I just found this hat before it was BIG this year...I guess Jennifer is on the trends...even though this is brown:

Some Things Happen Before You Can Do Them

I was just talking to someone about how I would use an Indian shawl how people use sarongs...It looks like Mary Kate did this with a checkered cover-up...I still think that an Indian shawl would do the trick:)

Share your ScrapBook as Easy as 1,2,3

I have been getting invites on all of my emails to www.flip.com. I went to try and play with it tonight and I couldn't get it...the idea is fun and a lot trendier than places like Friendster or Myspace...go and check it out...

It's All New

I love the New Year...everyone...companies, designers, people are starting new...

I checked out Tucker today and found that things have been changed....great things to come for this company for 2007!!!!!!!!!!!! The site lets you know all of the locations you can buy the great looks, there are images of the collection, a page with information about the designer and inspiration...I just love the site...the site used to only have one image and the email address...and the only retailer connected was Barney's...this company is going to be BIG:)

M.A.C. has a new celeb

I just saw who the new celeb icon will be for M.A.C. during ET and she is the all too perfect for M.A.C, she is Raquel Welch...still sexy throughout all of the years...She showed that you could still be beautiful after having children and that being curvy was still in after Twiggy...

For more insight into this wonder woman...read page 120 of the January 2007 issue of Allure.

Why was there never a Part II?

Do you all remember "Don't Tell Mom the Babysitter's Dead"? This is like the pre-Clueless movie for the 90's that just never really made it as BIG...not to downplay "Clueless", the movie that I lived by in 9th grade or anything...lol...but, I just wanted to give snaps to the movie that got me excited about the fashion world...this high school girl on a summer vacation decides to take it upon herself to get a career of interest...she was AMAZING:) Watch this movie for a little encouragement into the fashion world:)

Sale Surfing...

I have been watching Barney's New York online and waiting for the sale to get better...there has been a drop in prices today...but, I don't know if it is really worth it...the item I want went from $169 to $139...that isn't really making me move...I wonder how long they will have these items for sale online...we shall see...I check almost everyday...if something comes up, I will let everyone know...

speaking of sales...use the following code word to get 30% off at Electric Ladyland...enjoy!

Spring Dreams

The Spring collection for H&M is continuing to bring nothing but the best...I can't wait to fly to LA to purchase some of these pieces as well as the other surprises that H&M changes once a week...H&M is the best store for that...there is always new items and the great pieces sell out so quickly you better get there quick! Always a classic, the trench is back in a more basic style than the Viktor and Rolf trench we saw in the Fall...great high waisted jeans...I am glad that H&M is still trying to go with the high waisted pant trend...no one really bought these pieces last year, besides me:) We shall see how this trend goes this year...I am glad there is still a presence with long dresses this year...I love them for everything...relaxing, partying, travel...well, enjoy if you are near the store...I will be there soon enough.

The Skinny on New Style for Samsung

Check out the New York Magazine article about the connection between fashion stylist Rachel Zoe and Samsung...

Here is an ad for the phone so far...

I have to be honest...I am not really interested in the phone...just curious since it's connected with Rachel...and it is funny, the Samsung reps say that none of the customers will know who Rachel is...yeah right:)

Sweet Peony

I personally am loving Peony for the spring/summer this year..

The color

The shape

The fragrance…

Triple threat, I would say…

Even Isaac has been inspired in the past...

This is on sale for $7.19 at Target

Go to Bath and Body for body spray and candles with a fresh

The Pantone site projects that a silver peony color will be BIG this spring and that the color reflects "the infusion of life brought by spring." I see the color as a twist on rose...

I envision the peony shaped skirt like a bubble skirt...there is nothing out there that is referred to as a Peony Shaped Skirt...but, maybe if I was to modify the bubble skirt I could make it happen, what do you think:)

Color Report

I heart www.net-a-porter.com new style report! I love how they not only tell you what color they love right now…but, how to wear it…how ingenious…

Sweater Dress II

I couldn't find the sweater dress that I wanted and wrote about in December at Target by Isaac Mizrahi...but, I recently found a new cute Sweater dress for $29.99 by Merona...you always have options...even if the first one is gone:)

They May Not be 100% leather, but, they are 100% Cute

And they are on sale for less than $7...hurry before they are sold out...there are a lot of shoes on sale that are worth checking out!!!!!!!!!!!!

Always Know What Time it is...

I am not one to wear watches at all...but, I just remembered a friend of mine that wore a great funky watch that she found at Wal Mart...and it was cheap, but fun...it is all about being a metal large face and having an wide expandable/expansion wrist...Although I don't wear watches, I always check out what people have on...both men and women...I feel that it says a lot...

Not exactly the one I was picturing...but, this is what I could find...$29.99

This is more of what I was thinking of and what I had found at Wal Mart for less than $1o...I found this one on www.amazon.com, but it is currently not available...I would say to just go to Wal Mart in your area and look...or check out the Timex site...

Have Fun Reading some Fashion Fiction

I haven't read these books yet...but, they both peek my interest for relaxation and enjoyment so I thought I would share the find with you all...let me know what you think or if you have already read these books...

*This book is not available yet...

You can either purchase these books on www.amazon.com (getting deals from $9.99 to lower) using the link attached to the title or check it out at the library for free:)

Walk This Way

A British comedy all about making fashion dreams happen...it's a great movie that I recommend to everyone...

Trick of the Trade

I am an all time Thrift store and vintage store buyer...but, I also love stores like Buffalo Exchange or Beacon's Closet...I just found a thrift store that has clothes for only $1...I have found gems and although some are too small or too large I have decided to start buying these pieces and then trading for piece that I can use at 2nd hand stores...pure genius I think!

Still Searching for the Real Thing

I have been looking for a vintage Gucci for ages and I just found a brand new pair of vintage Salvatore Ferragamo shoes yesterday...I am soooo excited...but, how can you tell what is real? I found a website from a seller on eBay that actually shows you the real and the fake...with visuals and everything...you can't make it any easier than that:)

Do You Ever...

Have an outfit idea…but, all you can focus on is one piece? Well, go to sites like http://www.glam.com/, http://www.shopbop.com/, or http://www.net-a-porter.com/ and search their trend pages to get inspired for the rest of your look…I am going out this weekend and I knew I wanted to wear my new brown ankle boots…but, I just couldn't think of what to wear with them...Something casual…but, fun…and voila…see what I found!

New Found Fashionista

Beyond all of the gossip...I think that Kim Kardashian is a true blue fashionista...I look beyond all of the talk and look forward to what she will wear tomorrow, well as of today;) I am corny, I know:) She is also a professional fashionista and works as a fashion stylist...I couldn't find anything about who she has worked with...but, I doubt it is a lie...I love how she wears clothes to accent her body shape...some may say slutty or too much...I say complimentary...snaps girlfriend! I can't wait to see how her Hollywood Boutique will look and I keep checking out her ebay page to see if she sells anything soon...

SOLD OUT

I keep reading articles on whether or not Uggs have gone out of style...I have always borrowed my moms and loved them because they were so comfortable...this year, I decided that I wanted the Ultra High boots for Christmas and to my dismay and thorough search found that stores and online are sold out until either Mid January or mid February...I think that is enough said...

WHAT WILL YOU WEAR THIS CRUISE COLLECTION

I may not be going on a cruise, to a resort, or somewhere tropical for that matter...but, for some reason I am only thinking about tunics...maybe it is the Arizona weather...but, I found the most chic lounge wear just googling tunics...go figure...check this out for spring, summer, vacations, lounging at home...Graham Kandiah

i HEART after CHRISTMAS SALES

I am sooo loving all of the SALES right now!!!!!!!!!!!! Just surfing the web is so much fun seeing what is out there...Here are a couple of things I am LOVING right now! and the price isn't bad either!

www.Anthropologie.com

www.Shopbop.com

Pick items between 20 to 70% off...you pick the price point...that is the best part!!!!!!! and don't forget free ground shipping everyday...just like shopping in the store...

Far and Away Designs

Why just get East Indian pieces from flea markets and random stores or designers that are getting inspired by the East Indian culture...go to the originators...It is so much fun browsing through the India Fashion week images at http://lfw.sifymax.com...even if you can't go...it is worth checking out...or go to ::indomix:: and buy items from a couple of popular designers from India.

No Basic Tee

While shopping at Electric Ladyland I found a variety of tee's that I couldn't decide on...I finally bought a tee by plain jane couture that I had to buy! My hubby is Punjabi...so I found it only fitting to buy a tee with an Indian wearing a turban:) It is too cute:) I LOVE IT! Now I am such a poser and I want an Indian skirt to wear with the shirt, cute bangles that I found on Max & Chloe, and some cute gold sandals...what can I say...you get one thing and you have to get a thousand things to go with it...I am also thinking of getting some of those cute sweat pants from Victoria's Secret that are on sale, $10 off right now...and there is a BIG sale starting on the 3rd...so go and check that out too...

Trend State-Ment

I found a great store that has some fun pieces that I think reflect on the trends of Phoenix, Arizona...I wasn't sure what exactly reflected Arizona style..but, after the Christmas vacation and shopping I know that it is a relaxed look with some form of bling...be it with the jewelry, Gucci or Coach bag...or the wedge high, high heels...you can see something that comes together all too well...I think that sweat suits and velor suits are still really BIG in Arizona as well as blinged out wedge shoes...I will have images in the coming months with all the great looks...

Right now I have a store called Electric Ladyland which reflects all the trends of Phoenix...
