Too Cool or Lookin' Like a Fool?: Urban Outfitter's Sweater Floral Earwarmer

Help me out people! Not really sure how to feel about this one. Love how cute and quirky this is but don't know if I could ever really wear it. Is it suppose to warm my ears? Is it just a fashion accessory? At $24 bucks it's not too expensive...

Cool or fool?…

What I enjoy most about his work… Continue

You can see the rest at… Continue

Go Ahead and Call Me a Teeny Bopper But I am Loving This Blouse by Bill Blass!

It's elegant yet sexy, high-fashion with a modern twist. Sure, I first spotted this halter top on Blair Waldorf, the evil sexy bitch on Gossip Girls. But let's forget that she looks a-mazing in it. The show's stylist made this Bill Blass top a little sexier than normal by cutting out some of the fabric in the back.



At $1,990 it's quite a pretty penny but… Continue
