Flatter Your Figure - Stay warm and look hot in these winter coats

Filed under: Clothing, Flatter Your Figure

winter coatIn the coming weeks and months, most of us will need to start bundling up before heading outdoors. And while that might cause flashbacks to snowpants and earmuffs for some of you, keep in mind that it is possible to stay warm in the freezing weather without looking like the Stay Puft Marshmallow Man, regardless of what your body looks like beneath your coat.

Hurricane chic

Filed under: Style in the News, Clothing

Fashion designers take inspiration from everywhere -- movies, books, the street, a dream -- but severe weather? Sure, why not?

Amid destruction lies art, and those with an extraordinarily artistic eye are able to find beauty in the path of the Katrinas and Gustavs. For example, Candice Kenmuir found inspiration in Hurricane Wilma, using the debris she found afterward to create four designs for her senior class exhibition project.

Fall clothes for hot climates

Filed under: Accessories, Clothing


Those of us who live in warm regions face the same challenge every fall -- so many hot new trends come out, but for the most part, it's just too hot to wear them! Sure, there might be a day or two in December or January during which we can wear a wool coat without sweating to death, but most of us aren't going to blow our budget buying items we'll only wear once or twice a season. But still, we want to step into fall fashion -- what to do, what to do?

We have several suggestions that will keep you looking hot but feeling comfortably cool. Those of you who live in colder climates might be able to use these suggestions early in the season, but for some of you, these will be ways to look seasonal until spring!

Why aren't you wearing this? Rain Parade Mini Umbrellas

Filed under: Accessories, Clothing, Must Haves


In some parts of the country (like here, in Florida), this is the time of year when you can pretty much count on a rainstorm between two and four in the afternoon. We're not talking a light sprinkle -- the sky opens up and dumps bucketloads of wet down upon us, and our hair is ruined and our clothes are soaked. Unless, that is, we happen to actually bring our umbrella with us.

Light jackets to take you into fall

Filed under: Clothing


Fall weather always provides a bit of a challenge. The weather starts out chilly, but if you dress for that, you could be sweating in the sun by late afternoon. The solution is, of course, to dress in layers, but we can't abide wearing just any old jacket for warmth -- it needs to add something to our outfit, or it's staying in the closet.

The thing is, a great light jacket can be a great addition to your wardrobe. Not only will it serve the purpose of warding off those cool autumn breezes, but it can add color, texture, and shape to your ensemble. The trick is finding the right jacket for you.

L.L. Bean: Footwear

Filed under: Events: On the Scene, Accessories, Style in the News, Clothing, Shoes, Jeans, Men, Kids and Babies, Style for a Cause, Green Fashion


L.L. Bean is one of those companies that make a bit of everything. However, don't make the assumption that they are a jack of all trades, master of none, instead consider the full phrase which continues, though ofttimes better than master of one. Thanks, Wikipedia!

L.L. Bean is focused on the outdoors. They make everything from kayaks to baby strollers, tents to sporks. Really. They also have a great line of footwear for the whole family that is as stylish as it is functional. Aesthetics are not sacrificed for performance, or vice versa.

Tip of the day: How to avoid summer makeup meltdown

Filed under: Cosmetics, Style Tip of the Day


Most of us love the summertime – the sun, the beach, the warmth, the runny makeup... okay, so maybe we don't love all of it. When the weather is hot and you're sweating your face off literally, it is time to readjust your makeup routine so you don't look like a hot mess for the next three months.

How to work a cape like Posh, not Superman (or Brooke Shields)

Filed under: Clothing, Celebrities with Style

Every year, as spring approaches, my eyes start wandering toward the less bulky items in my closet. I'm tired of my sweaters, done with scarves, and so over jackets. Fortunately, I live in Florida, so there are plenty of days where I can wear a kicky dress and cardi and be plenty warm. But what about those of you living in colder climates? What can be done?

Never fear, Posh is here! In a cape!

As Mrs. Beckham shows us (and as Brooke Shields and Lucy Liu fail to show us), a cape can be a fabulously chic way to ward off the winter chill when you just can't bare to wear your winter coat for another day. However, it can also backfire horribly. Here's how you can pull off Posh's look and keep your cape from becoming fashion kryptonite:
