Cinematic Fashion Muses: Movies for Fashion Inspiration
By timwel4On

People get their fashion inspiration anywhere from the streets to art museums to their favorite movies. Movies are a great way to glean fashion ideas since they’re easily accessable and set a tone that informs a specific look. Here are five fashion-forward movies to set you on the trail to stylistic success.

The Wardrobe from Heathers

Some might think it gauche to sport the rich-bitch look during a recession, but your local thrift shop more than likely has enough tiered skirts, brooches and mini-skirted power suits to fill your closet ten times over. Another reason to rock the yuppie-in-traiing look? Heathers: The Musical is due out in 2010, making their wardrobe ripe for a comeback. Why not do it before everyone else does?

The Look of The Royal Tennenbaums

Some see the movie as Seventies/ early Eighties chic brought to its terrifying limit, others see it as an indie fashion …

Decade-Inspired Fashions: Vintage Trends from Four Exceptionally Stylish Eras
By timwel4On

Vintage fashion has become a highly regarded trend in the fashion industry today. Designers and fashionistas alike are taking trends from past decades and incorporating them into modern style. Whether buying something new with a vintage flair or an authentic piece from that era, vintage fashion can offer a creative and individualistic look.

Clothing, shoes and accessories from past eras can be cheaper than buying new, and it is also environmentally friendly to reuse an item. Ideas can come from the style of the rockabilly girls of the 1950s to the funky chicks of the 1980s. Buying vintage helps to express creativity, with classic and timeless pieces that always make a statement.

1940s: Sophistication in Tweed

By timwel4On

The summer is coming to an end and the weather is becoming cooler. The short-shorts are no longer in need and the tank tops won’t keep your arms warm. Buying new clothes for fall is expensive for some, especially if pants, long-sleeve shirts and accessories are required.

Fall Fashion Trends

Marc Jacobs Spring 2021 Collection: A Runway of Ruffles at New York Fashion Week
By timwel4On

Marc Jacob’s Spring 2021 collection could not be more showy, in contrast to his recently showcased dignified but demure Fall 2021 creations at New York Fashion Week. One word summed up Jacobs very individual Spring 2021 designs — ruffles.

In contrast too, whereas last Fall’s 2009 collection provided a trip back to the ’80s, Spring 2021 is more like a trip to Broadway. Jacobs offered up a bevy of beautiful models dressed as stern-faced dolls and the show followed a theatrical-cum-operatic-cum-ballet theme, incorporating touches of Cabaret, Japanese Geisha and Harlequin.

Marc Jacobs Spring Summer 2021

Add to that a contrasting mixture of military and all American sportswear in sharp clean cuts and Marc Jacobs Spring 2021 collection could only be described as complex. Women’s Wear Daily’s, “Marc Jacobs Spring 2021,”of September 14, 2009 referred to his fantastical collection as Coppélia-meets-Pierrot-meets-G.I.Joe-meets-Geisha-meets-Americana-meets-Comme des Garçons.

There were feminine details of ruffles upon lettuce-like …

By timwel4On

Eco-friendly baby clothes for girls combine the unique style of an independent baby clothes boutique with the natural benefits of eco fabrics. While it may be difficult to find stylish organic baby clothes in stores, there are a number of great online resources for buying unique baby girls clothes that will reduce your little one’s carbon footprint before they even begin walking on their own two feet.

The Eco Benefits of Buying Organic Baby Clothes

Making the effort to purchase baby girls clothes made from eco fabrics rather than conventional cotton and synthetic materials is a simple way to start a child off with earth-friendly habits.
