Now Showing: Another episode of “Knock-off Jungle”

Chloé Leather shoe boots have long been on my list of funky-but-kinda- weird-cute shoes, somedays i’m in love with it other days i think it hideous. Partly because usually every other white leather shoes just look plain cheap, but these are just, well you know, toocute!

Forever21 has wasted no time in copying what they think are going to be hottest hit “must have” items on the list of fashionistas all over. Oh what they’ve cooked up this time was too good not to highlight. check it out.

I still would rather get the Chloe, which by the way has just gone on sale at net-a-porter. But then again maybe not, cause now the fun is spoiled if everybody and their mama is walking around in a pair of wanna be Chloe’s. I mean apart of the appeal was their uniqueness. Anyways, I’m awaiting Forever21 next episode in Knockoff Jungle. Which should be premiering again pretty soon( as in right after the next fashion week).

Forever21 Now offers International Shipping!

Yea! Yeah , Heck Yea!

I know you might be thinking whats a girl in the fashion capital (Paris) doing ordering stuff from Forever21 all the way in the US of A anyway? Well, for starters Paris is expensive and I’m cheap and Forever21 has some cool “similar aka knockoff type peices” that you just won’t find anywhere else!

So, hooray! and don’t judge or hate. Its the perfect fix when I want something cool and trendy. I don’t expect this seasons must-have trend to last me for years to come, so F21 is perfect.

Cute Find of the Day: HIGH WAIST SKIRT

Yanique — Tue, 10 Apr 2007 20:26:00 +0000

The debate seems to be never ending about whether high waisted pants are a sensical fashion choice, or not? The last poll I did, more than 80% of you hate it.

But I’ve seen far more people wearing (and wearing it well) high waisted skirts.

Pencil High waisted skirts can fit almost any body type. It elongates the legs and emphasizes the bust area and minimizes the waistline. Shoot, do we need any more reasons to hop on this trend?

Are you feeling high waisted skirts?

The (Color) Purple Dress

Yanique — Mon, 09 Apr 2007 13:13:00 +0000

I’m in love with the color purple!! No, not the play, the actual color.

If you’re like me and love bright colors, well this season we are in no short supply of stuff to wear that’s going to brighten the world (and/or annoy the heck out of our co-workers) – who are all jealous by the way because not even in their dreams could they rock a bright yellow Proenza top and a purple MJ pumps and still be taken seriously!).

Well, anyways this post started because I was casually flipping through Last months issue of Essence Magazine (I’m in Jamaica, unlike NYC I never get my mags in advance) which had my “it” girl Jennifer Hudson gracing the cover with photographs by Len Prince.

Jennifer Hudson, In the magazine’s content page she was wearing this ravishing purple dress that really flattered her lovely curves.

Anyways, It really reminded me that I was going to do a post on pretty purple dress. I’m really hoping purple is here to stay ( for a while).

Yay!!! – for those of you who arent so close you can walk in and grab a pair of trendy shoes for cheap, consider your prayers answered. Not too sure about the qulity you’ll get for $10 and $20 shoes, but if you want a quick trend fix, this should ease the pain.

The Little Balck Dress

If there is one fashion piece that almost every woman has in common its the little black dress. Its essential to the wardrobe of any true fashionista. Truth be told we have more than one. I’ve compilled a list that shows some of my favorite that can fit into any budget category. So dont be bashful, if you don’t yet have a lil black number, this is your time to go out and grab one before the Christmas dinner or trip to the in-laws. Or better yet, treat yourself to Breakfast at Tiffanys.
