Happy Birthday My Style A La Mode!

In the immortal words of Frosty The Snowman, "Happy Birthday!"

One year today, I took the time to create my own blog where food and fashion had a place to come and unite.

Fashion with a Cause

Breast Cancer Awareness Month

      It is October, and now will be the time when you will walk down the aisle of your local supermarket or clothing store and see “Pink” items. So what does it all mean?

Fall Fashion Now!

Fall 2012 Trends

     Go into any Starbucks these days, and the smell of pumpkin spice lattes fills the air. So what does this mean in the fashion world? Fall Fashion is in stores, now! We had a taste of it, during Back-To-School sales , last month. But now, is the time to start adding fall trends to your wardrobes.

A Night Out ..A night of Fashion!

     They say Thursday night is college night but this Thursday is not for the kids. It is for the Fashionistas!

It is Fashion Night Out and it is time for the fashion Divas to have their fun.

Sliding into Style... 50 years of Fashion and Baseball

50 Years of Fashion and 50 years of Baseball.

Who knew that the New York Mets had anything in common with the rising stars of the fashion world? This year marks the 50^th anniversary of both The New York Mets and The Council of Fashion Designers of America (CFDA).

In celebration of their success, they decided to collaborate in a 50^th anniversary celebration. Starting July 24^th, you can purchase pieces from the mini collection of Mets inspired apparel, designed from members of the CFDA, at Citifield. Those designers for this collection are: Billy Reid, Yigal Azrouel, Rogan Gregory & Scott Haan (from Loomstate) and Jeff Halmos (from Shipley and Halmos).

Starved for Fashion?... Hunger Games has what you crave!

The Hunger Games
     America has been starving for something new and exciting.  The Hunger Games trilogy feeds into what you crave in drama, action and romance. The book series has not just captured the attention of the teens, that is was intended for, but also adults can’t resist the sci-fi story either.

Reality Bites....

Fashion Star

     This week, the show “Fashion Star” premiered on NBC at 9:30pm, on Tuesday. It was an hour and a half show of fashion boredom.  Designers selected to be on the show, had to create a signature look, for a 3 outfit runway show. The buyers of: H&M, Macy’s, and Saks Fifth Ave were then given an opportunity to bid on the outfit that will be offered at their stores. Highest bid won and featured the clothing in their stores the next day.

Fabulous Friday!

   

It's Friday.. Fab Friday!

     This week's pick is a red dress from Neiman Marcus. A satin sheath dress, belted with flower details along the neck that will show off your sexy and femine side.

    Original price for the dress was $395 but currently on sale for $138, as advirtised on Neiman Marcus's website. It is a steal and is perfect for this Valentine's Day. And don't forget the accessories! It would go perfect with these gold accent earrings by Milly. They are pretty and simple earrings that can add some glamour to your outfit. Both items you can order on-line and you will get it in-time for your special date!

Golden Globes 2012
     January 15th was the Golden Globes and all the stars came out. Some of the red carpet trends consisted of neutral colors or bold color choices. What ever style the celebrities have chosen, it was a wonderful fashion show-showdown. The above dresses were some of my favorites for the evening. What were yours?

Target: The Power House of Retail

Target the New Power House of Retail

Once again, my favorite store is teaming up with more new and innovative companies. Coming to a select number of Targets will be “mini boutiques” with their own dedicated space and shelving for their products.

Trend-Spotting!

Spotlight some fashion!

     Hello Fellow Fashionistas!

Every week, I am going to high-light an outfit, garment, or trend that I find fun, every Friday. So if there is something that catches your eye, please let me know and I may post it as my Fabulous Friday style of the week.

This week, I would love to point out color block dresses. They are fun, colorful expressions that can high-light your features, depending what colors are placed on your body. This dress from Tory Burch is lovely. I love the mixing of a soft color with bright. If you want to down play your bust, wear your bold color on your bottom. This dress is bold and sophistacated.

Happy Shopping!

Target will "Wu" you this February!

Target will “Wu” this February

It was announced officially today by WWD that Jason Wu will be featuring a small line at Target next month. I have written about this rumor in a previous post and now it announced as TRUE!

Resort 2012

Resort 2012

All the big name department stores are currently having their sales on items they wish to sell before the end of the year and clear up the inventory for the new items for spring. Along with that, we are seeing Resort being featured too. These are the items you see that will preview your way into spring but are really for those that are going on holiday.

So most of the items you will see are swimsuits (I know, a little disturbing now that you have devoured your Christmas cookies), accessories, casual pants that can be worn into the spring season, lighter weight  sweaters, and sandals.

Right now, Neiman Marcus is featuring some exciting trends for resort like: bright pinks, yellow accents, neon colors, colored bottoms, scuba style swimsuits, and prints.

 Lord and Taylor has on their site swimwear, cover ups, sportswear items like sweaters, capris and casual pants.

Nordstroms’s Resort items include various types of espadrilles and cover ups.

Saks Fifth Ave Resort features wedges and various printed items that will take you into the spring season.

Whether you are vacationing on the Riviera, or just a cruise around the Caribbean, the stores have plenty items to add to your luggage. If you are not going on a trip anytime soon, there are some great items that will just help you transition into the spring season.

Happy Shopping!

2012 is here! Happy New Year!

Happy New Year!

     I hope that this year will be great for all. New trend reports and new fashion news will be coming soon. I can't wait to share with you all the fun fashion and hear from you. Please feel free to send me anything you "love" that is fashion related. I may feature it on my blog. 

Walking the Windows of NYC
