Let’s say they are kind of a homage to Chanel…

Urban Outfitter’s Either or Tights, one side opaque, the other side sheer are the mini trend of the moment. Get a pair while they are in “It” and before every other girl on the block sports a pair. Cheap chic for a rainy day! Read: Hot Legs, the return of pantyhose

Jennifer Fisher - Layering Isn’t Just For Clothes…

Boho chic has become a staple wardrobe from Melrose to Sunset and I have absolutely been taken by the whole trend.  My favorite look consists of a skinny jean, loose tank, vest, and strappy flat sandals.

Accessorize with a fun printed scarf and tons of jewelry and voila!  You get the boho feel without fully converting into a hippie.

This jewelry trend is an easy look you can do without having to break the bank and the best part is that its kind of an ‘anything goes’ look.  When it comes to accessories, its best to get pieces that really speak to you and show a bit of your personality.  This is a great thing to do with jewelry because there is so much out there to choose from!

I recently met with Los Angeles jewelry designer Jennifer Fisher and her entire line is based on pieces you can mix and match, layer, and personalize.  There are the gold engraved dog tags or the gothic silver letters embellished with black pave diamonds.

Also, think of the ‘Carrie’ necklace jewelry trend as a thing of the past!  One great necklace Fisher designs has a horizontal tag where your name can be jewel embellished, engraved, or written in gold.  There are also some gorgeous charms such as shields, crests, insects, twigs, and lightning bolts.

My favorite piece of the Jennifer Fisher collection has to be the gold double finger ring.  It has such a simplicity to it that no longer do I think of the gaudy hip-hop ring, but rather a chic city girl take on it.  And her cocktail rings have beautiful large stones in various colors.  The best part is that sometimes, lets face it, more is more.  So stack on the bangles, grab the big rings, or layer on those necklaces, but most of all, own it!

New math for style…

One + Zero = A Zillion Fashion Possibilities: When you are watching your wallet and in the need for something new to update your wardrobe, adding just the right statement element will elevate your style in an instant. We think that it’s a shoe or bootie with an Architectural Heel. In more simple terms, a heel with a great carved style!

Irregular Choice - Zubes Bootie

Michael Kors - Annabel Sling- Architectural heel

Pour La Victoire - Felicia- sculpted heel sandals

Steve Madden - LOLETTA PURPLE SUEDE bootie- architectural cone heel

There are so many shoe and boot options to choose from with an amazing architectural heel to update your wardrobe from office to trendy, from jeans to night out. Look for shoe heels that are angled, conical, cylinderish, or simply beveled to update your entire wardrobe with one major fashion punch. Add a fantastic pair of tights and off you go in big style!

Counter Intelligence at Selima Optique

Counter Intelligence: Doggone it, I really hate to give Sarah Palin ink.

No matter how much you try to tszuj her up in designer clothes, that beauty pageant up-do and trying to be elegant but dated scholarly look just ain’t rocking it for me.  Yes, I did see the old school photos of her with the pitbull porn star brown lipliner too… wink, wink. Face it, I don’t think there is that much fashion in a darn sportsman (that’s pc for hunting, my friends) mall. You can try to style her up, but, there ‘ya go…

Politics and Stuart Smalley catchphrases aside, Mrs. Palin is a bit pale in the innovative style department. Therefore, when her folksy faux chic look infiltrates downtown NY, I get a little concerned, if not mortified.

I’ve been on a mad hunt for larger frame eyeglasses from Paris to NY for about half a year. After deciding that I was probably ahead of the retail curve for eyewear, I just forgot about it– until I walked into Selima Optique in NY’s Nolita section the other day. I found myself falling madly in love at first sight with a pair of Kala Eyewear, “handmade in California,” leopard tortoise frames. BTW: Palin’s eyeglasses are by Japanese designer Kazuo Kawasaki.

Since there are so many amazing statement eyeglasses to choose from at Selima, I joked with Kenneth the salesperson about surely not having a Palin crowd.  He said that pre-debate, they must have received at least 25 calls asking about that frameless style— considering the downtown trendiness of the neighborhood that’s a pretty high number or a lot of frantic people sending out random shots for some moosely frames.

“In my opinion, it’s one of the worst things to do to your own face,” says Kenneth. The frameless style “instantly ages you and it doesn’t fool anyone. All you see is that you are wearing glasses.” To look more modern, Kenneth suggests great vintage-inspired shapes, playful and imaginative colors, and a more masculine silhouette.

Funny, that sounds like what Mrs. P. is trying to pull off. Now you go on and think for yourself.
