The Drop Crotch Trend

An odd trend I have been noticing a lot lately is... the drop crotch. I accidentally bought a few pairs and must admit I am loving them. I will be making a post on different ways to wear them soon.

So here are some street style shots from The Sartorialist and Face Hunter. I love to compare the translation from runway to street style.






Face Hunter :



Dior Homme Fall 2007











3.1 Philip Lim Spring 2008



I think the key to wearing these pants is confidence. Look at every individuals attitude in the above pictures. They are confident and owning the look.

Get your own:


Ksubi $ 235.00 Oak NYC
twisted seam and drop crotch. I would love to see these on someone!

Moncler and Junya Watanabe Fall/Winter 2007

Moncler, a winter apparel company, has once again joined forces with Comme des Garçons designer Junya Watanabe to produce these special edition down jackets.

This quilted down blazer has got to be my favorite but here are some more I liked from the collection.

Cold fronts, Fingerless Gloves, Tea

The weather is so nice right now.

I happen to think people dress nicer in the fall.
Here are some friends and I at school.

I love Brian's Brooches?
His t shirt is a plain Hanes V neck. I think every guy should have about 50 of those. And he's rocking the classic Vans Chukka.


Kounthear is so happy for cold weather. As is, Kevin...


See the skirt Kevin is wearing?

I wore it as a shirt on the same day... unplanned.

Cold Weather Boot Options

This isn't necessarily a problem for me but I know it is hard to find nice cold weather boots. I searched through Zappos and picked what I thought were stylish examples for most cold climates.

Jessica Bennett Grapple $ 213.95
I love these because they are versatile enough to wear with a dress and trench or skinny jeans and a leather bomber.
These boots are the solution to those days when you just need that extra something to spice up an old outfit. Not only will these keep you warm and dry but they will definitely command attention in any room.






Ugg Locarno $ 228.95
If you find it absolutely necessary to wear Uggs...At least let it be these. I like the idea of wearing these with anything silk and ruffly to contrast with the roughness of the boot.

How To Wear Leggings Without Looking Tacky

With the weather finally cooling down in Texas, it is time to approach the subject of leggings. Although there are not any exact rules to wearing them, there is a very thin line from acceptable to just tacky.
So here are some examples I loved from The Sartorialist:




This is supermodel Agyness Deyn who is known for her unique style.



They key is to dress them up with a sophisticated heel to contrast the bad 80's vibe. There are no rules but please do not wear leggings as pants. It is probably the least flattering thing to do.

I found these denim leggings and so many outfits raced through my head. Wear them just as you would any other leggings!

Levi's Legging
$58.00 Now $19.98

Patricia Field for Payless

Patricia Field is THE stylist to the now cancelled HBO show Sex and the City, which was famous for its fashions. Field teamed up with Payless to bring us a red carpet worthy collection at just the right prices.
We've been hearing about this collection for a few months now and finally here is another preview. And what better time for release then when the Sex And The City feature is being filmed in NY. There have also been pictures of the wardrobe being spread over the Internet which have helped keep me excited about this collaboration.


Sake Pump $40.00


Sushi Boot $55.00

I find this sushi boot to be quite fabulous because of its snake skin gun metal accented platform combination. Even with all the trends going on in this boot, they were kept to a minimal and not overpowering in design. I could definitely see Carrie Bradshaw rocking these with an over sized clutch and pearl necklace! No doubt, you will find me in line purchasing the sushi boot on the 23rd.

The collection will be available in all Payless stores beginning on October 23rd but are currently available for preorder here.
The Sex and The City movie is set to be released the day before my birthday, May 30, 2008!

This is Carla. She goes to school with me. I loved her outfit this day. The shirt is Just Cavalli and had the awesomest details ( hot air ballons, snakes) on it. The skirt was dyed and made by her. I just love the clashing. It's just so right.


Love those pants.


Here is a good example for the boys. This military style shirt is classic and great for any event. You can dress it up with a blazer or keep it casual with some neon kicks.


i loved my hair this day
