Relaxed Fall Styles

September 3rd, 2010 - Written by Deveney

September fashion is a bridge from the light weight and loose clothes of summer to the structured heavy weights of fall and I for one am having a hard time coping with the fact that it is indeed September and summer is ending. To help me{and you!} feel better about the situation, I have found some truly beautiful pieces that are a little bit summer and a little bit fall. Which makes them perfect for right now!

Solna Sleeveless Top by Velvet by Graham and Spencer.

First is this lovely feminine Solna Sleeveless Top by Velvet by Graham and Spencer. I am loving the neckline, the super soft and drapey material and this perfect for all gray/purple color. The detail really draws the eyes up to your face, and highlights the collarbone.

Marni Cowlneck Pocket Dress by Velvet by Graham and Spencer.

Isn’t this Marni Cowlneck Pocket Dress by Velvet by Graham and Spencerjust perfect for September?? I love the dressy and casual blend that it gives, not to mention the very forgiving cut. {For those of us that maybe enjoyed summer a bit too much!}

Cold Shoulder Top by Sweet Pea.

Lastly, I love the water color pattern{so right now!} and slit sleeve detail on the Cold Shoulder Top by Sweet Pea. These are perfect early fall colors and the flattering loose cut is great with leggings, shorts, or jeans. Go out and enjoy what last few moments of summer you can, but don’t forget to arm yourself with fall fashion from Vintage Fringe !

I have to say that I was rather impressed with the entire cast, and just have to share both Dianna Argon is her beautiful blush colored lace overlay gown and Heather Morris in her gold belted number. I really love both of these looks and think that a little lace and sparkle is always a good thing, even for everyday looks.

Check out this ultra-vibrant and unexpected purple, one shoulder, frock that Emily Deshanel sported. Love the color, and layered detail.

Tina Fey looked fabulous, probably my favorite look. I love that she is covered up, much more modest then most celebs at awards shows and she still looks stunning. The cut, fit and fabric are wonderful. I love it! Bravo!

I hope this helps inspire your choices of fashion this week, have fun and don’t forget a little day time drama can go a long way!

Racerback Flared Tunic Tank Top by Collective Concepts

Racerback Flared Tunic Tank Top by Collective Concepts

This Collective Concepts racerback flared tunic tank has been one of my favorite pieces this summer.  It is so easy to glam up with cute shoes and basic leggings and I always feel like a million bucks when it wear it.  Accessorizing is easy with this racer-back tank because it has the adorable black and silver beaded straps.  While this tank designed by Collective Concepts usually sells for $55.00 this week only at Vintage Fringe it is on sale for $33.00.

La Befana Navy Tie Tank

La Befana Navy Tie Tank

I love love love this La Befana Tank (I personally own it in polka dot also on sale this week at Vintage Fringe).  I wear it with a cute cap sleeve or a long sleeve shirt underneath.  The tie on the side adds the perfect detail that makes this top a one-of -kind top to add to your wardrobe.  I can wear this to work or at home and it is always adorable and flattering.  This week only at Vintage Fringe this tank designed by La Befana is on sale for $50.00… thats 40% off!

Laurie B. Rumba Puff Sleeve Sweater

Laurie B. Rumba Puff Sleeve Sweater

Knit designer and visionary Laurie B. is known for her high quality high fashion knitwear and this Laurie B. Rumba puff sleeve sweater wrap is probably my favorite design of hers.  This sweater snaps in the front for a completely separate look or it unsnaps to become the adorable wrap that is perfect for fall and early winter.  This sweater is also full of surprising details like the adorable pockets and puff sleeves.  This is also a super soft lightweight knit that can give you warmth but won’t overheat you. It really is perfect for any season.  A knit wrap like this can easily sell for around $200, but this week only at Vintage Fringe this puff sleeve cardigan is only $99.

Last week was the Teen Choice Awards and once again the attendees came out with some real fashion eye candy. Although this show is for teens, the real deal actors, musicians, and reality stars came out showing their best. I love to see what different types of fashion are going to be worn and what new trends are cropping up that I can apply to my real world mom style. Here are a few select looks that caught my attention:

Kristen Bell

Kristen Bell, love the nude shoe, love the red sheer overlay, love the look. So sophisticated and sexy at the same time.

Kardashian and Jenner girls.

Yvonne Strahovski looks stunning in this nude dress with the tone on tone details, love the criss crossing the in the front. But hello, my favorite part of the outfit has to be the pop of color, coral heels. I love a pop of color, she looks great! There were other great looks too, so draw some inspiration and go put something fabulous together from your closet for the weekend!

Seasonless Sunglasses

August 18th, 2010 - Written by Deveney

Sunglasses are the perfect accessory for sunny summer weather and hot summer fashion. Plus, when you are in a hurry, or heading home from the beach, they cover up those no mascara eye lashes!  Whether it is over-sized, aviator, or retro there is a fit that works for everyone.

One style that has come back and seems to continue to be a big hit, is retro inspired frames. I especially love the over-sized variety that scream feathered hair and bell bottoms. Check out these MICHAEL by Michael Kors ‘Carmel’ Oversized Sunglasses. I love the color and the shape, and at such an affordable price these are a great find.

A great classic style is the aviator. So many options are available from bright and bold, to the more demur of frames. I tend to choose something more classic, like these Roberto Cavalli ‘Leopard’ Avaitor Sunglasses.

 One other common and trendy style is the shield sunglasses. {I always envision Victoria Beckham looking uber powerful when I think of shield sunglasses} These can be a great look and a bit more dressy of a style to me. Check out the beautiful Prada ‘Triangle Logo’ Shield Sunglasses, aren’t they great??

Whatever your style be, so out and enjoy some sun, just protect your eyes before you do!

The Jocelyn Puffsleeve Boatneck Top by Ella Moss{love her!} is so cheery and cute in red or yellow. It is perfect for summer, but I think also for fall.

Perfect Summer Accessory: White Teeth

July 21st, 2010 - Written by Deveney

Nothing complements all your fun summer fashion better then a nice, bright white smile. I find that especially in the summer, when skin is a bit tanner and the clothes a bit brighter, a white smile is the perfect accessory. In the last few years lots of new over the counter products have come out for the everyday gal who can’t afford in-office whiting. The GO SMILE Smile Whitening System is a product that has less sensitivity because the apply the product right on the teeth only. Although GO SMILE products tend to cost a bit more then the grocery store variety, they have been super successful and a good way to jump start your whitening efforts.

Of course when talking about teeth whitening, Crest has to be mentioned. In my mind they were one of the first companies to offer at home whitening at an affordable price. The latest product from them, 3D White Whitestrips Professional Effects, has a better sealed strip and is a once a day 30 minutes treatment.

If you don’t want the time or the commitment of strips or other at home whitening, then maybe just ease into it with some whitening toothpaste.  There are so many different types and brands of whitening toothpaste, it would be impossible to cover. So just head on down to your local store and pick the one you think you will like best, I really like ARM & HAMMER Advance White Brilliant Sparkle.

Survive the Heat in Style

July 20th, 2010 - Written by Tiffany

The temperatures are rising high enough for many to abandon all sense of fashion and jump right into the shorts and t-shirt look. Here are some great picks for tops and dresses that can keep you looking hot while feeling cool during these simmering summer months.

Tank Tops
The key to a cool tank top is to pick breathable fabric that is also washable.  Dreamy Designer Sweet Pea’s signature nylon mesh is a great choice for summer. Like this 4 Tiered Ruffled Ruffle Tank in rain (blue).

4-Tiered Ruffle Tank by Sweet Pea

This tank if full of flirty fashionable details but is soft and comfortable enough you will feel free and easy in it.  This tank is perfect for an outdoor bbq or even a a hot day at the park.

One of Vintage Fringe’s newest arrivals is also a perfect pick for a hot summer day.  Collective Concept’s trendy Racerback Flared Tunic Top is a great example of California style summer clothing.  First this nuetral color is both trendy and smart for hot summer days.  This tank is loose but has so many flattering details like the beaded straps, tunic length, and racerback.  Wear this tank anywhere this summer and you will stay cool and oh so stylish.

Short Sleeve Tops

Splendid no doubt had hot summer days in mind when designing it’s Navy Slub Shadow Stripe Waist Tie Top.

The wide sleeves and signature jersey slub fabric makes this short sleeve top a great choice on a hot day.  I also love how Splendid infamously makes a clean and modern statement with color choices that are both flattering and classic.  Pair this top with khaki bermuda shorts or denim capris… the options truly are limitless.

Designer Dresses

On those scorching summer days summer dresses are the coolest choice to make.

I love love this Modal Jersey V Neck dress also designed by Splendid

You can feel cool and trendy in this adorable jersey dress in blueberry (light purple).  This dress has a flattering empire waist, is machine washable, and is the perfect length for a cool summer dress.

From tanks to tees and even dresses, being hot is no excuse for not being fashionably adorable.  Don’t miss Vintage Fringe’s Summer Steal’s Sale where you can get 30% off everything until July 28th.
