belted ethnic skirt: two ways!
I found this adorable ethnic print skirt at Forever21 recently and fell in love with it. I have a love/ hate relationship with Forever21, but I have to give it to them, sometimes you can find some really interesting pieces that kicks up your wardrobe, and I think this is definitely one of them. don’t you agree?
You can dress it up to wear to work with heels and a jacket, or down for a more causal style with a tee and a jeans jacket.
And isn’t that Peanuts t-shirt so cute!

Multifunctional clothing is definitely one of modern society’s greatest evolutionary feats. Don’t you think?
Like this This T-bags embellished top that can be worn as a dress and/or a top. You save space in your wardrobe, buy less clothing hence, saving money, do less laundry hence saving the environment. This is what eco-fashion is all about, no?
When I saw it I immediately thought of the women in those James Bond films; strong, sexy and licensed to kill ( with their charm that is).
Pair it with boots ( like the Gucci studded ones shown here) or sandals, with jeans or a white pants ( for a extra navy crisp navy type look).

I’m a sucker for anything you can wear multiple times.
Don’t we all love staples pieces we can wear over and over… over again?

I’ve been running into a lot of navy inspired blazers and jackets with crest on them that I just had to do a post on it.
Next trend for fall maybe?
Je sais pas, but take a look and let me know what you think. Its a little bit 70’s preppy and I love it because all you rally need to rock this look are your favorite pair of jeans and a basic top, and maybe a little accessories such as a gold necklace or silk scarf (oh and thats another thing, scarves also seem to be big for next season, so says L’Officiel Magazine Paris – will try to scan a few pages – but scarves like the one on the Ralph Lauren Model were everywhere on the runways from Dolce and Gabbana, Paul Smith to Isabel Marant.

who also does a great job on telling us how to get the above look as ”Do-it-yourself” project.
I’m loving everything in this look, the high wasted pants, the leather clutch, the really simple cotton top.

SCARVES ARE A MUST HAVE FOR FALL:

And again in the latest fashion courtroom battle, Payless Shoe Source has been ordered to stop using the American Eagle Brand. Which is very similar to American Eagle Outfitters brand(AEO).
Payless is marketing AMERICAN EAGLE shoes and accessories with advertising and promotional materials that copy the look and feel of AEO’s distinctive marketing style and falsely claiming to be the exclusive source of AMERICAN EAGLE and AE “women’s,” “men’s” and “accessories,” which has resulted in consumer confusion as to the relationship between Payless and AEO. Source
We’ll we’re not lawyers are anything here at TooCute magazine, but this just one just makes sense. My questions are, why did they wait this long to let people know its not actually American Eagle Outfitters, but Payless’ American Eagle? And why was Payless so brazen as to think they could get away with this blatant misrepresentation?
Copyright laws have long been a joke within the fashion industry, but where should a line be drawn and people be brought to court?
Stores like Payless, Steve Madden, Forever21 and even H&M have all been known to make their “interpretation” of a particular brand or designers style. Judging by the popularity of these stores it just goes to show that customers care less and less about high priced brand names and just want a quick fashion fix with cheaply made knockoffs.
More on the story here.

Katie Holmes has a fashion line? When did Mrs. Cruise become a designer? Oh my goodness, I have so many questions. Someone, anyone?
I hate her! – well its more like envy, I love her, but envy how she has time to be a mom, actress, married to a mad man and still have time to look great, almost all the time, and then create a clothing line? What gives?!
Seriously, first she ran that damn marathon and now this. She’s just so much more than that Joey kid from Dawson’s Creek ( who I really loved by the way, back then), but to see her evolve into this fierce woman just makes me want to pull myself up by the bootstraps and, well I don’t know, do something so outside myself, like eat low-fat, just to spice my life up a bit.
Anyways, you be the judge, what do you think about this dress from Katie’s new line called Holmes Yang?
