It's all about the statement necklaces right now. Dress up a solid tank throw on a boyfriend blazer and your good to go!

vegan leather?

2010-01-20T16:01:00.001-05:00

OK, I try to be as green as possible, I do, but I just don't get vegan leather aka PLEATHER! I am not against plether by any means, don't get me wrong. As long as it looks real, I am all for it, I just don't get this whole vegan leather craze. Call it what it is and stop trying to be fancy. It's polyurathane!!! Vegan leather is just another word for pleather, so don't be fooled into thinking it's something better and don't pay more than what it's worth.

pull out the flare

2010-01-13T11:09:00.000-05:00

Good thing I never get rid of my expensive jeans becasue it looks like the flare is back! My usual rule is if I haven't worn an item in a year, give it to good will. I have limited closet space and can't possibly store anything that I don't wear. As always, there are exceptions to every rule and mine is if I spent over $200 keep it! (Unless it's hideous or doesn't fit). Since my jeans almost always fall into this category, I have quite the collection. Which is a good thing because it's all about the wide leg jeans this season. Wear them with all the shorter length shirts you haven't been able to wear with your skinnys, cute boho peasant blouses, or the very trendy sailor shirts.

Don't go putting away your skinnys away just yet they are still very in!

I was watching ugly betty on my DVR last night and I don't know about you but I love the way the stylist dresses Amanda. She always looks super cute! In last weeks episode she had on a hot pink blazer a tank and these amazing lace inset leggings on. It looks adorable. Get them on thread and common for only $22 bucks!!

How to...

2010-01-02T12:10:00.000-05:00

Wear a vest. There are a few really cute vests on threadandcommon.com and the biggest question I get is: What do I wear under it? Well, it definitely depends on the style of the vest, but there are a few key rules you can go by. Stay away from super tight shirts unless it's a tank. I am loving the low cut v-necks from the ones from american apparel. (I know, promoting another store, but it looks cute! What can I say?) Also, any loose fitting boyfriend tee or long sleeve top looks great. So there you go- the answer to all your vest problems!

new years

2009-12-26T15:19:00.000-05:00

When I think of the perfect New Years outfit, one thing comes to mind... Sequins!! Since it's in style this year, thread and common has so many options it's too bad New Years is only one night! If you're not into sequins try a LBD with some glitzy accessories, throw on the fur caplet and you're good to go.

Have a great and safe holiday :)

here are some of my NYE picks for 2010:

Look For Less

2009-12-22T11:51:00.001-05:00

I was just doing some last minute Christmas shopping at Bloomingdales and I stumbled into the Aqua department and could not believe my eyes... Could it be the exact same tuxedo leggings I have on my site for $22 only they were $48!! Why spend close to $50 when you can get the same exact legging on my site for closer to $20? Get em while they are hot, hot, hot...

Don't forget to use the FREESHIP coupon (expires Jan 1).

what to wear??

2009-12-15T00:58:00.004-05:00

I had a huge fashion show last week for the launch of the site and it was tough to pick an outfit, even for me! I pulled it together though, and think it will also make a perfect New Years ensemble. Thumbs up or down? You tell me...

fashion diary

I just finished watching Julie and Julia and I am now inspired to write. I know how hard it is to get dressed in the morning. What's the weather? What am I going to wear? Sh** I'm late to work. I feel this is a common thread amongst all women. I have a closet full of clothes and a clothing store and I still can't seem to get it together. My advice to all you ladies out there like myself- Pick your outfit out the night before. I know the last thing you want to do before you go to bed is to check the weather and decide what to wear, but think about how much less stressful your morning will be.

Oh, and one more thing.... merely picking out the outfit will not suffice, you need to try it on or else this plan wont work!

Ugh, I know, but the next morning you will be thanking yourself. I promise :)

glitz up your holiday outfit...
