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><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>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><a href="http://www.fashionus.com"><img class="size-medium wp-image-667 alignleft" title="orangepleated" src="http://www.fashionus.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/08/orangepleated-162x300.png" alt="" width="130" height="240" /></a>I did some shopping recently and picked up a beautiful pleated, pumpkin orange skirt for the fall. It&#8217;s thick, about knee length, and just adorable. And orange being my favorite color, I couldn&#8217;t pass it up. So how does one wear an orange skirt without looking like they are trying too hard?</p>
<p>I plan on making the skirt the statement piece so softer colors with it may be the best idea. Cream and white tops are a safe bet. A sweater for the cooler days and a light blouse for the warmer days of fall will work. Tucked in a top, especially with a pleated skirt, and it will really pull together your look instead of looking sloppy. Grey also works as a variant on the white.</p>
<p>Blue is actually a nice contrast to orange as well, but stick with a cobalt blue and nothing too much brighter. Navy can pair as well. Black tops work as well but try not to look too much like a Halloween Queen, it&#8217;ll come off tacky.</p>
<p>For accessories, grey or cream shoes will pair well without clashing or attracting too much attention. And don&#8217;t ever forget the wonders of a nude pump! They go with everything, hence why they are NUDE! Pick handbags in a brown or nice, fall green color. You&#8217;ll be surprised how well they pop against the orange. And gold, gold, gold for jewelry accessories! They are going to compliment beautifully.</p>
<p>I can&#8217;t wait to pair my skirt with a perfect pair of pumps or flat boots and wear it both to work and out at night. Embrace the boldness of orange this fall!</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>A month ago I needed to head out and buy gold shoes for a wedding. Yes, gold. Not gaudy, go-go boots that I&#8217;d never wear again but really nice gold shoes that would look great with my dress but not too wild. I stumbled across Seychelles that were perfect and from that point on, I&#8217;ve fallen in love.</p>
<div id="attachment_661" class="wp-caption aligncenter" style="width: 310px"><a href="http://www.fashionus.com"><img class="size-medium wp-image-661" title="seychelles" src="http://www.fashionus.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/07/seychelles-300x225.jpg" alt="" width="300" height="225" /></a><p class="wp-caption-text">These beauties are now mine</p></div>
<p style="text-align: center;">
<p>Their company sells shoes with interesting, beautiful designs that have a taste of the trends but definitely stand out from the standard fair your going to see most women wear. They can be on the pricey side, but oh my are they comfortable and very well made. And you&#8217;ll stand out.</p>
<p>What&#8217;s on my current wishlist?:</p>

They are the kind of shoe you just buy and then build an outfit around, because they are that fabulous!</p></div>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>It&#8217;s almost here. The 4th of July. Where we celebrate our independence with good food, fireworks, and patriotic music. We also celebrate it by donning red white and blue. Of course, there&#8217;s a right way and a wrong way to wear it. Draping yourself in an American flag may be over the top, but you can add some subtle choices to get in the patriotic spirit.</p>
<p>Here&#8217;s a few great picks:</p>
<div id="attachment_645" class="wp-caption aligncenter" style="width: 210px"><a href="http://www.fashionus.com"><img class="size-medium wp-image-645 " title="nautical" src="http://www.fashionus.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/06/nautical-200x300.jpg" alt="" width="200" height="300" /></a><p class="wp-caption-text">This beautiful nautical dress from TopShop is red,white, and blue and yet cute and adorable. Pair it with a solid blue heel and your set to go!</p></div>
<p style="text-align: center;">&nbsp;</p>
<div id="attachment_647" class="wp-caption aligncenter" style="width: 256px"><a href="www.fashionus.com"><img class="size-medium wp-image-647 " title="bowfrontshirt" src="http://www.fashionus.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/06/bowfrontshirt-246x300.jpg" alt="" width="246" height="300" /></a><p class="wp-caption-text">This sweater top from Forever 21 will have you showing off your patriotism while being comfortable.</p></div>
<div id="attachment_649" class="wp-caption aligncenter" style="width: 210px"><a href="http://www.fashionus.com"><img class="size-medium wp-image-649" title="blueesp" src="http://www.fashionus.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/07/blueesp-200x300.jpg" alt="" width="200" height="300" /></a><p class="wp-caption-text">Anthropologie has these striped espadrilles that will be cute and comfy while you watch the fireworks.</p></div>
<p style="text-align: center;">&nbsp;</p>
<p>Stick with the typical red, white and blue or if you want, pick two colors for the outfit and the third for accessories.</p>
<div id="attachment_650" class="wp-caption aligncenter" style="width: 310px"><a href="http://www.fashionus.com"><img class="size-medium wp-image-650" title="etsy" src="http://www.fashionus.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/07/etsy-300x300.jpg" alt="" width="300" height="300" /></a><p class="wp-caption-text">This beautiful bracelet from one Etsy seller is all the color you need to make  a statement without over doing it.</p></div>
<p>Whatever it is you plan to do this 4th of July weekend, you&#8217;ll be really in the spirit with some of these great pieces.</p>
