My little Monochromatic friend

Yanique — Wed, 18 Apr 2007 09:08:00 +0000

Inspiration comes from the weirdest of place. While watching Madagascar for the 100th time( I’m a fool for funny flicks), all those cute little pixar animals had me thinking about clothes, animal prints, monochromatic fabrics( like a Zebra print) and “tried and true” basics.

And Voila! Even though I love white and very often stay away from black ( I’m a big color-razzi), both black and white clothing are no doubt timeless and classic. Both are a staples in everyone womans wardrobe, and there should be no shortage of ways to wear the things you’ve already got right? Or if you’re looking for ideas check out my pictorial shopping list: cute twist to old favorites and some new ones too.

1.White Belted shirt dress by Doo.Ri available at The Gap $88.00

2. Vintage Collection Elle Round Sunglasses at 80s Purple $15.00

3.Distressed Wide Leather belt at Newport News Now $15.00

4. Alice + Olivia Chicago Baby Doll black
and white Dress at shopbop.com
$297.00

5. White Edith Tote Bag Inspired by Chloe at Baghaus $49.99

6.Tory Burch Nappa Leather reva Ballet Flats at shopbop.com
$195.00

7.Peep-toe ballet-style patent espadrille at Newport-News $34.00

Ideally i’d get rid of the fabric belt off the DooRi dress and add something like the black belt and black ballet flats to match. And the Alice + Olivia dress can be worn many times over leggings or jeans. The accessories like the white Edith bag and sunglasses can be worn with anything!

Love – Jahaute!

Mod-ified [Trend Watch, Mod Dresses]

Yanique — Tue, 17 Apr 2007 11:34:00 +0000

Dresses are all over the place, tiny cute little baby doll, Mod inspired dresses that hit above the knee that Eddie would have worn back in her day and that Sienna and Mischa now rock.

Kate Husdon wore her Chanel dress with black leggings and pumps out on the town recently.
Another way to wear these baby doll dresses are over jeans/denim that are tapered or pencil
to give a more elongated look to the legs.

They’re cute if you have long legs and all, because those are about the only things they accentuate. Honestly, they’re pretty much shapeless. So stay away if your a lil round, or curvy they could make you look like a potato.

However, if you’re sexy legs are here for the showing, here are some picks on and off the runway.

On the Runway:

1. Chanel 2. Chloe 3. DVF 4. Miu Miu

Seen on:

1. I love Piper Perabo’s dress the best, the color adds a big punch, no need for accessories or jewelry, just a pretty smile.

2. Sienna Miller is always standing pretty, in her A-line dresses.

3. Mischa Barton has been seen all over in Mod dresses, day and night, here she dresses down her eyelet dress with some funky hippie boots and a multi-color jacket.

4. Hillary Duff wears a sparkling black sequined dress, lightly accentuated with bangles.

Right now I’m on the hunt to find some retailers with cute dresses to collage in my next post. More later (wink)

H&M LAUNCHES COS TODAY

Yanique — Fri, 16 Mar 2007 18:35:00 +0000

When I first heard that H&M was having a more upscale co-brand they call it “The new fashion brand that puts the haute in high street” but I call it “chic-ness for cheapness!”…But then I saw the pictures and these clothes look a lot like Banana Republic to me, or even a Club Monaco. What’s the deal?

H&M says “COS is the new fashion concept that’s set to land in London’s shopping
heartland, with a sleek William Russell designed Regent Street flagship, due to
open its pristine doors on 16 March. COS is the progeny of H&M that merges high
fashion attributes (meticulous fabrics finish and fit) with ground level
pricing; creating inspirational design that’s financially accessible. “

I think COS will do well with the khaki happy crowd that already shops at Gap, J. Crew and Banana Republic.

Yanique — Fri, 02 Mar 2007 18:15:00 +0000

This is for all my plus size fashionistas out there, who knows all about looking sexy, cute and chic. But also know that its hard as hell to find clothes that fits those three categories when you’re not a size 4.

Look no further I’ve discovered an emerging designer that focuses on making fuller women even more beautiful: Monif C.
My favorite design is the multi-functional “Marilyn” Convertible Dress for $165 ( Can be worn in at least six different ways!!!)…You know I love to recommend items that are as versatile as we are ladies.
