How to wear a floppy wide brim hat and not look like a pimp

Statement making BoHo wide brim hats have continued to be a major fashionista statement this season.

The Return of the Headband- From Red Carpet to Lazy Day, It’s an Instant Do!

Ditch those stuffy images of 1980′s French Chic helmet hair tucked in place with a bulky headband. Forget Mary Richards and her rigid flip. Say toodleloo to the overdone fascinator.

There is something refreshingly modern atop the chicest heads on the red carpet, like Charlize Theron and Michelle Williams (pictured above) at the Golden Globes, when looking to polish up something as everyday as a casual Sunday sweater.

The headband is back.

How To (Not) Wear a Faux Fur Vest- the trend is trickier than it seems

Faux fur vests are probably one of the hottest fashion trends of the moment. The thing is that they are also rather tricky to wear. If you are not careful, you could look like a wild hairy beast that took over the mall.
