Cheer Up, With Cherry Red Nails!

If your like me, and decided to skip the black-painted-fingernail craze, then here you go.
"Cherry Red" nails are the latest fad and Ashlee Simpson's already sporting it! I am very pleased to say I was wearing this colored polish exactly two, yes, two days before she was, so- HA HA, the true fashionista has spoken, or painted, in this case!

To Look Like or to be Disliked? That is the question.

What to Pack For that Trip?!?

I'm personally here to take you out of your fashion/shopping/packing rut. So get ready...

You're probably going someplace with...
Cold Weather:
If your current mindset is:
"How am I going to ever look good with weather below freezing?!?"

Here, this is how you will be able to look great in the bone-chilling cold.

• A winter coat can be a fashion statement! Or try an ever-fashionable peacoat!

Tips-

Dresses-to stay warm try a cardigan over or a long sleeved top unerneath!

Tights-you'll need them, believe me, try cable-knit black or gray ones!

Have a Great time Packing!

Bib-Front&Gray Striped Dresses

Personally, I am very fond of these trends. (Hopefully, considering I've worn them both weeks ago.) But, as I made fashion website rounds earlier I saw that most people said they wouldn't wear the bib-front dresses. Odd, I wore it three weeks ago and (if I maybe so bold) looked adorable! Then most people said they would wear the gray striped dress. I wore one idenicle to Heather Graham's (see link below; but probably for a fraction of the cost) for Halloween.Just another suprise to be found on the net! Tootles!

The "IN" Jewlery!!!

The List:

• Bangles
• Rings
• Charm Bracelets
• Pins
• Watches

XXL Sunglasses-YAWN!

The jumbo sunglasses trend is getting old, so I'm downsizing. By simply placing my respectably large Chanel's in the drawer and pulling out a fresh new pair of Oscar de la Renta's, the trend- for me- is over!
HEY-

• Try glasses that actually fit your face! (hint, hint.)

• Here are some great styles that won't break the bank and fit!

My friends and I are going as...
Sixties Icons

Edie Sedgewick: Very mod, short dresses and chandelier earrings; MUSTS: her signature black tights and lots of eyeliner!
*My costume: Black-and-gray-striped turtleneck tunic, black tights, black and white patent heels, long black and white plastic beaded necklace, black and gray bangles, black and silver chandelier earrings. Hair: since mine is longer; messy bun w/ bangs framing my face, so it'll look shorter.*

Twiggy: The most mod, short dresses in bright, loud, or neon colors; MUSTS: nude lipstick and tons of mascara!

Penelope Tree: Sweet, yet daring short dresses with white or no tights at all; MUSTS: embellishments on the dress and/or lace and false eyelashes!
