The trick to mastering this seasons winter fashion trends is all about the art of layering with cardigans. I just went out and got yet another cardigans because really, they’re like shoes, you can never have too many. Recently I’ve been seeing many chunky type knit sweater cardigans in stores and on women on the street.

Chunky Sweater/Cardigan On The Runway:

(L-R) Phillip Lim, Diane von Furstenberg, Malo

You can dress them up with belts, dress them down with jeans but I personally am addicted to the very simple V neck button down kinds that you can wear with just about anything like this tan cashmere one from J.Crew.

I wanted to share on toocute my top 5 cardigans, from the very trendy chunky knit type sweater/ dress cardigans to the very classic boyfriend type cardigan.

They vary in price for all you budget conscious shoppers (like me) and also for those who sometimes spend a little more (also like me). Isn’t it funny that personal style doesn’t respect any particular financial rule, so it doesn’t matter if you spend $20 or $2000 it’s about how you wear your clothes that matters.

I hate these (wow, that was subtle), they look pretty on the catwalks but they don’t seem to translate well on the streets, unless you are of course like my grand aunt Maude, or one of the Olsens( who we all know are just hopeless fashion casualties).

On the Catwalk: Prada Spring 2007

Prada Spring 2007 Ready to Wear. Ok so it should, technically, be ready to wear, but would you wear either the outfit or the headband, be serious with me, and yourself?

Seen on: The Olsen Twins

The crazy Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen twins rock it, somehow it seems to go with her grim reaper look, no? Whats up with her dressing like a 80′s crackhead?

Oh, and on Sean Paul?!! too…hehe, just kidding, but I’ve wondered for a while. He used to always wear those headband thingys over his braids. whats up with that?

Where to buy it?:

Anyways if you like it, get it at Shopintuition.com, after all thats what I’m here for; to let you know, whats and where to bag it.

Love – Jahaute!

I’ve created a slide of some of last nights hits and misses. Take a look!

This year promises to be a good year for the beautiful Jennifer Hudson( wearing Vera Wong), she was so charming last nigth when she said ” you dont know how much this does for my confidence” as the audience laughed and cheered her on for her win in Dreamgirls. Which i still haven’t seen yet!

America Ferrera was also a pretty winner.
Reese looked very sunny in her yellow dress and what the heck was Cameron wearing? Not to mention Beyonce’s dress which was form fitting, and in the gold tone that popular now. I thought was a little bit too concert-like.
I loved Molly Simms all white dress. Cate Blanchett wore a asymmetrical black lace Alexandra McQueen dress that was kinda risky but she work it well! Not many people can carry off such a dress.

The overall popular trend last night seemed to be either all BLACK: Angelina, Jennifer Husdon, Cate Blanchett

or all WHITE: Molly Simms, Heidi Klum, Drew Barrymore
