			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Target will soon be featuring another designer’s <a title="AJ Blog Network" href="http://www.FashionUS.com">collection</a>!

Often I see some beautiful designs that I can&#8217;t wait to experience translated into more wearable, every day attire. And even the more outrageous shows have a bit of spunk and fun to them. But <a href="http://www.ajblognetwork.com">Thom Browne&#8217;s</a> most recent runway show has had me (and most of the people I&#8217;ve showed it to) cringe in terror.</p>
<p>With a mix of punk and jock, he&#8217;s created some concoction of monster that looks like they&#8217;ve been injected with steroids or whatever it is that makes The Hulk, well, The Hulk. Don&#8217;t forget a bit of Pinhead mixed in with a dash of Rocky Horror makeup and you&#8217;ve got the scariest looking runway show in years.</p>
<p>There&#8217;s avant-garde and then there&#8217;s just plain lunacy. I think we know which side he&#8217;s on. Once you throw kilts into the mix, you know you are heading to terrifying territory.</p>
<p>Hopefully, I have not passed on my nightmares to any readers by posting this today. If I do, I&#8217;m sorry.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I have been bombarded by newsletters lately of new fashion for the spring, even going into summer. And of all the new fashion trends, the one that has been the most &#8220;squee&#8221; worthy for me is all the dresses with cut-outs. Not the kind that make you look a little, well, underdressed, but the kind that are flirty without being too much. Here are some of my  favorites that I&#8217;m dying to get:</p>
<div id="attachment_720" class="wp-caption aligncenter" style="width: 198px"><a href="http://www.modcloth.com/shop/dresses/melted-caramel-dress"><img class="size-full wp-image-720  " title="meltedcarameldress" src="http://www.fashionus.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/01/meltedcarameldress.jpg" alt="" width="188" height="268" /></a><p class="wp-caption-text">This Melted Caramel Dress from ModCloth is absolutely adorable. With cutouts just below the armpit, it has the right amount of sass.</p></div>
<div id="attachment_721" class="wp-caption aligncenter" style="width: 245px"><a href="http://www.asos.com/ASOS/ASOS-Summer-Dress-in-Gingham-Check/Prod/pgeproduct.aspx?iid=1880385&amp;cid=8834&amp;sh=0&amp;pge=0&amp;pgesize=200&amp;sort=-1&amp;clr=Coral"><img class="size-medium wp-image-721 " title="ginghamcheck" src="http://www.fashionus.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/01/ginghamcheck-235x300.jpg" alt="" width="235" height="300" /></a><p class="wp-caption-text">This Gingham dress from ASOS is so cute and just the perfect amount of sexy. Wear this out to your next picnic and attract some attention.</p></div>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<div id="attachment_722" class="wp-caption aligncenter" style="width: 252px"><a href="http://www.lulus.com/products/perfect-blend-olive-green-dress/45755.html"><img class="size-medium wp-image-722 " title="olivedress" src="http://www.fashionus.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/01/olivedress-242x300.jpg" alt="" width="242" height="300" /></a><p class="wp-caption-text">Bare your shoulders with this really cute dress from Lulus. It&#39;s military chic!</p></div>
<p>I&#8217;d love one of each, please, but the plenty of more I&#8217;ve been seeing everywhere.  Fashion trends come and go, so I&#8217;m definitely jumping on this one before it goes. It&#8217;s just too cute for words!</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Nothing like Spring time in Paris! The first hints of the fresh season are in the air as <a title="Fashion US" href="http://www.FashionUS.com">Paris Fashion Week</a> dominates and captivates the City of Lights. All the major designers have shows for this period, including the Karl Langerfeld’s Haute Couture Collection for Chanel. <a href="http://www.fashionus.com/"><img class="alignright size-medium wp-image-714" title="Fashion US" src="http://www.fashionus.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/01/FAshion-US-January-23rd-Blog-201x300.jpg" alt="fashion" width="201" height="300" /></a></p>
<p>There were certain traits, such as blue tones and wide, loose collars, which dominated the collection. These designs are modern twists on classic Chanel looks of the past.  Fashionably funky tweed pants and skirts suits were also popular as were bubble sleeves, and ruffles and other 3D, texturized fabrics.</p>
<p>While some of these ensembles were obviously over-the-top ensembles, many of the looks could be obviously and easily translated into less outrageous, more accessible looks. This is largely the appeal of any Chanel collection; while it is bold and over-the-top on the runway, it still appears like doable <a title="Fashion US" href="http://www.AJBlogNetwork.com">fashion</a> to the audience at the show and abroad. Although these ensembles were accented by spiky hairdos and towering heels, their innate elegance was not overwhelmed by these accessories.</p>
<p>At Paris Fashion Week 2012, Chanel once again showcases a classic, elegant collection that any fashionista may imagine herself wearing.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>There is an appropriate <a title="AJ Blog Network" href="http://www.AJBlogNetwork.com">outfit</a> for every occasion, whether it is for the opera or a SOPA (Stop Online Piracy Act)-inspired blackout. Major websites, such as Wikipedia and Reddit, will be &#8220;blacking out&#8221; today in protest of this Big Brother-esque Bill. Such a move is obviously unprecedented and thus deserves the appropriate ensemble. <a href="http://www.FashionUS.com"><img class="alignright size-medium wp-image-707" title="Fashion US" src="http://www.fashionus.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/01/Fashion-US-Blog-Post-300x239.jpg" alt="fashion" width="300" height="239" /></a></p>
<p>If you are joining the protest, your outfit should reflect your opinion on this matter. Any occurrence or event is a valid excuse to construct a new outfit. The most obvious choice is to wear an all black ensemble. This is a fun reason to rock your little black dress. If you are interested in invoking an Audrey Hepburn, Parisian aesthetic, wear red or black flats, fitted straight leg black pants, and a tailored black shirt or sweater; enjoy this excuse to be chic and wear your outfit knowing that you are styled for a worthy cause! This solid color scheme also provides you with many <a title="Fashion US" href="http://www.FashionUS.com">accessory</a> options.</p>
<p>For example, to keep the look simple and classic, you should wear only a few items of demure jewelry, such as sterling silver earring studs and sterling silver bangles. In order to give your look more of an edge, take inspiration from flower-power forbearers, and wear bolder, more dynamic accessories like red feather earrings and yellow bangles.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><a href="http://www.fashionus.com"><img class="alignleft size-medium wp-image-704" title="OLYMPUS DIGITAL CAMERA" src="http://www.fashionus.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/01/steampunk-290x300.jpg" alt="" width="232" height="240" /></a>In two weeks I&#8217;ll be heading to a themed party in Brooklyn. It&#8217;s a Noir/ Pulp Fiction party and shopping for 1960s style dresses and shoes has been a bit of a task, or at least it was until I broadened my horizons. I was looking too much to actually buying <a href="http://www.ajblognetwork.com">vintage</a> at first, but with all of the designers who have put out vintage styles with modern prices, it&#8217;s been easier to find what I&#8217;m looking for. Now, I can&#8217;t even seem to narrow down which dress I&#8217;d like!</p>
<p>When shopping for a themed party, it is key to do the same. For a really rich, great look, don&#8217;t go with costumes. While they are cheap and easy, it&#8217;s going to show that you didn&#8217;t put much thought into your outfit. If it&#8217;s a theme around an older decade, try places like Modcloth.com or Pinupgirls.com for pieces that match. If it&#8217;s a particular genre, like sci-fi or fantasy, take that creativity and put it to good use. There are many open interpretations to these kind of things, so keep an open mind!</p>
<p>When it comes to <a href="http://www.fashionus.com">fashion</a> for themed parties, embrace something totally different from what you would normally wear!</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I recently went on a grand shopping tour of Williamsburg, Brooklyn thrift stores. For many, the best part of thrift shopping is the thrill of the hunt. You very rarely immediately find worthy purchases; generally, you have to search for the hidden treasures. Thrifting requires a well trained eye and a lot of patience. This is an occupation that gets easier with time and practice. And, sometimes, whether you are a novice or a professional, you will get lucky and see a must-have item within a minute of entering the store. The resulting exaltation inspires you to continue in your quest. <a href="http://www.fashionus.com/"><img class="alignright size-medium wp-image-700" title="Fashion US" src="http://www.fashionus.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/01/Fashion-US-January-12th-Blog-300x225.jpg" alt="fashion trends" width="300" height="225" /></a></p>
<p>There are also many different types of thrift stores. The type of thrift store you choose to shop in may depend on your personal interests. Major thrift store chains generally have fairly rapid turnover rates that are primarily based on season and <a title="AJ Blog Network: Fashion US" href="http://www.AJBlogNetwork.com">trends</a>. For example, the Beacon&#8217;s Closet in Williamsburg generally features clothing that is more retro or modern, rather than vintage, presumably because the store buy a large portion of their items from locals who sell them for a commission. Despite this, it has a very decent collection of vintage shoes. These shoes are funky and vibrant or classic and elegant. A portion of them were probably handmade; they seem to be the best example of vintage inventory currently found at <a title="Fashion US" href="http://www.beaconscloset.com/">Beacon&#8217;s Closet</a>.</p>
<p>Thrifting is a learned skill, but one you acquire it, you will be able to find one-of-a-kind clothing and accessories.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Sometimes there are <a href="http://www.fashionus.com">fashion</a> websites I just fall in love with. I love getting inspiration for new outfits but sometimes I feel like the runways and celebrities aren&#8217;t the best material to get inspiration from, because the outfits are just either too outrageous or far beyond my budget. I longed for some inspiration from real life fashionistas and that&#8217;s when I came across Chictopia.</p>
<p>It&#8217;s full of people, men and women, submitting their own photos of their day to day outfits. And my god, they are fabulous! They also make me severely jealous of their wardrobes. The great thing is, they list almost every piece they wear, name and brand, and it runs the gamut from more expensive designer clothes to items you can find at H&amp;M.  They take anything and make it look GOOD!</p>
<p>I mean, check out the outfit below on user  LouiseDarling. Look at that skirt, those boots!</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://www.chictopia.com/louisedarling-how-to-wear/search/clothes"><img class="aligncenter size-medium wp-image-694" title="chictopia" src="http://www.fashionus.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/01/chictopia-200x300.jpg" alt="" width="160" height="240" /></a></p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>And this outfit from Jamour? Can I raid her closet, PLEASE?</p>
<p><a href="http://www.chictopia.com/photo/show/575107-pretty+pleats-dolce-vita-boots-fedora-forever-21-hat-alexander-wang-bag"><img class="aligncenter size-medium wp-image-695" title="chictopia2" src="http://www.fashionus.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/01/chictopia2-200x300.jpg" alt="" width="200" height="300" /></a></p>
<p>It seriously inspires both jealousy and creativity to start changing up my wardrobe and seeing how I can incorporate these styles into my own day to day <a href="http://www.ajblognetwork.com">wardrobe</a>.</p>
<p>so if you are pining for something new, are dying for some ideas, Chictopia is it.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>We may be in the heart of winter, but that does not mean that we cannot dream about spring. And, while you wait for the weather to warm up and sundress season to start (it will happen, promise!), you may incorporate certain warmer season elements into your wardrobe. <a href="http://www.FashionUS.com"><img class="alignright size-medium wp-image-690" title="Fashion US" src="http://www.fashionus.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/01/Fashion-US-January-4th-blog-Post-258x300.jpg" alt="fashion" width="258" height="300" /></a></p>
<p>Pair one of your summer skirts or wear winter-fabric shorts with a pair of funky sweater tights. This way you are getting the best of both worlds; you may express your desire to wear bolder colors and patterns with your need to stay warm while looking stylish. Mixing and patching different textures will keep your wardrobe fresh and interesting</p>
<p>This is not to say that winter fabrics and patterns are without their merit. They have many benefits; primary among them is that they are made of thicker fabric that is designed to keep you warmer in the long winter months. Plaids and flannels come in different colors and fabrics, which enables you to incorporate them into your wardrobe I n a variety of ways. Corduroy also offer dependable, versatile fashion options, since they come in a variety of forms.</p>
<p>Wearing the same type of clothing becomes stagnant after a while, so combine cold and warmer weather <strong>fashion</strong> trends.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Let us discuss Banana Republic’s “Mad Men” collect ion. Personally, I cannot imagine anyone having a negative comment to make about it. The looks, all of which are inspired by the show, which in turn were inspired by actual styles of the 1950s and early 1960s, are classic and flattering for both women and men. The fashions are for both work and casual wear, and are reminiscent of outfits worn by Peggy, Joan, Betty, Pete, Roger, and of course, Don. <a href="http://www.fashionus.com"><img class="alignright size-medium wp-image-684" title="Fashion US" src="http://www.fashionus.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/09/MAD-MEN-PUMPS-225x300.jpg" alt="Fashion US" width="225" height="300" /></a></p>
<p>My favorite item is definitely the Izzy classic pump. The shoes are available in either black or rouge; personally, I really want the pumps in rouge. They are available for $120, which a coworker thinks is less than the original price. I am going to wait a week before I adore them and see if the price goes down again.</p>
<p>The reviews of the shoes have been very positive. The majority of reviews are very positive, and every reviewer mentions that she is overall pleased with the purchase.  The shoes are listed as running true to size.</p>
<p>Everything in the Mad Men collection was designed in collaboration with the television series’ costume designer, Janie Bryant, so the clothing literally looks like it was taken from the show.</p>
