What to Wear on St. Patrick’s Day

Tuesday, March 16th, 2010

This Wednesday Irish or not so Irish it’s probably in your best interest to wear green.  I am still trying to decide just how festive I want to look for a St. Patty’s day party this weekend.  Just in case anyone else is still trying to pick your outfit out.  Below are some of my favorites to choose from.

Laurie B. Emmy Cardigan Sweater in Kelly Green

This Cardigan Sweater is designed by Laurie B. and is the sweater I receive the most compliments on.  I love how it snaps at the neck and then slits open for a cardigan feel.   The pocket detail and long length makes this sweater so comfortable and easy to wear.   I always pair this sweater with the Zooey long sleeve crew neck in white. Considering this sweater is now in the outlet- it’s a steal of a deal. Maybe the luck  of the Irish.

The other shirt I am considering for St. Patrick’s day is this Victoria Front Tie Top designed by Ella Moss.

There are so many details I love about this top.  First I love the ruffles at the neck line and the cuffs.  This flirty top is made of Ella Moss’s modal fabric which is super durable and the ultimate in comfort.

Some of you celebrating St. Patrick’s Day may want to dress it up.  For a dressy night on the town I would suggest the Aggie V Neck Ruffle Dress.

This empire waist dress is so adorable and so unique you will definitely stand out as the best dressed in the crowd.  I love how fun and playful yet flattering the stripes are on this dress.  St. Patty’s Day or not you will be sure to gave good luck the night you wear this dress.  For any other St. Patrick’s day inspirations just visit VintageFringe.com and search by color.  Happy St. Patrick’s Day!!!

Looking chic in wet weather

Monday, March 1st, 2010

Being fashionable is a full time job, and rain, snow, and storms can not stand in your way. Normally I don’t have to deal with much weather, but even I have been subjected to some rather wet days{gasp! In San Diego??} as of late. So rather then let the gray skies bring us down, I say lets celebrate the opportunity to look oh so chic in jackets and boots! Every gal needs a pair of wellies, perfect for pulling over jeans or for the more brave, rocking with tall socks and skirts. They are comfortable, functional and of course available in all types of yummy colors and practically every price point. I love Hunter brand boots, and this pink fuchsia color is perfect for adding some cheer to a raining day.{or a sunny day for that matter!}

Ok, now that your feet are covered lets move onto the oh so important jacket. Trench coats are perfect for pulling together an outfit and giving coverage and warmth without adding bulk. These versatile jackets have been around for ages and are therefore available in just about every color, pattern and price point available. If you are wanting to try something a bit more trendy with the pattern, try this Merona Striped Long Trench which is right on with the nautical trend for spring. I love the cheery yellow and crisp white contrast, and it is a total steal!

Lastly, check out this beauty of a jacket, the Zooey Heavy Fleece Coat. The jacket is full of details, adding loads of fringe and style! The hood is perfect for protecting your coiffure, the big buttons, flared sleeves, and drop waist all add to the awesomeness that is this jacket. This would be perfect with skinny jeans and wellies!

Celebrity Style for Everyday

Wednesday, January 20th, 2010

I love to sport designer clothing and glamorous looks everyday.  However, as a busy mom on the go I need to look fabulous in a hurry most mornings.  For inspiration I have found many busy celebrity moms have turned to trendy jackets and fabulous hats to look fashionable even when they are on the go.

So here is my version.  First, I always wear a trendy jacket with straight jeans and tall boots.  As for the jacket, I  love Zooey’s Bomber Jacket.

This jacket is so soft and comfortable it  feels like a sweatshirt, but looks fitted and trendy and fashionable.  I love the cropped look in back which gives it an added bit of flair.  To keep with the military theme I wear a military style hat but with a different jacket you could wear a trucker or knit hat as well.  Another great jacket example is Zooey’s version of the Pea coat, the Cropped Double Breasted Jacket.  This jacket goes great with that military look.

With this look I can be ready in as little as 15 minutes and not be afraid to run into anyone I know as the grocery store or gas station.  What about you, what is your favorite on the go look?

Velvet and Zooey Designer Boatneck Tops!!

Monday, January 4th, 2010

Designer Boatneck tops have a classic vintage look that I adore.  Two great examples of the perfect boatneck top that also has a modern twist or fringe are the Daree top by Velvet and the Satin Trim Boatneck by Zooey.

Velvet Daree Wide Sleeve Boatneck Top

Velvet Daree Boatneck Top

By this time of year I am usually trying to shop for tops that I could probably still wear in winter but that will also work into spring.  I love Velvet’s Daree Wide Sleeve Boatneck Top because this is exactly the kind of top that can do both.  I wear this top in Green with a long sleeve white shirt underneath it in the Winter and come Spring I can wear it alone.  My sister owns this top in the other color milk which is a beautiful ivory that looks great with a dark jean and brown boots.  Part of Velvet’s Slinky Rayon collection, the fabric drapes your body perfectly.  It is loose enough you can add a belt for a tunic look, but you can also wear it without a belt and it looks great too.

Zooey Satin Sleeve Boatneck Top

The Boatneck top with Satin Trim by Zooey is my ultimate night on the town top.  This regal looking fabric is hemp with satin detail on the sleeve.  We love the fitted look at the waist and the satin contrast on the sleeves.  The hemp fabric has an amazing softness and durability and even though it may not look like it this top is machine washable.  Available at Vintage Fringe  in a dark brown (ebony) or a rich plum (phantom).

Fashionable Essentials for Fall: The Turtleneck

Saturday, October 24th, 2009
Zooey Turtleneck and Velvet Lucca Top

Zooey Turtleneck and Velvet Lucca Top

Another essential fall fashion this season is the turtleneck.  In terms of necklines the  turtleneck is one of my favorites.  First of all, turtlenecks are universally flattering because they elongate your neck and place the focus onto your face.  I also love how extremely versatile turtlenecks are.  Wear a turtleneck with a suit, with a vest, with a skirt, with pants, or your favorite pair of jeans.  Wear a chunky necklace or wear your favorite scarf, with a turtleneck almost anything goes.  My absolute favorite turtleneck is the classic long sleeve turtleneck by Zooey.  Perfect for layering, this top is shown here under the Velvet by Graham and Spencer Lucca tunic top in Drift. This turtleneck is made of supima cotton which is seriously one of the softest cottons I have ever worn.  This turtleneck is simple, but perfect in every way.  The length falls below the waist, the turtleneck itself is loose and soft so it doesn’t feel to tight around your neck or uncomfortable.  This Zooey turtleneck comes in ten different colors, is machine washable, and is currently 50% off in our Vintage Fringe Outlet so hurry to Vintage Fringe and pick up your fall essentials now.

Explosive Style: The Bomber Jacket from Zooey

Bomber Jacket from Zoey

Zooey Bomber Jacket

The hip Bomber Jacket by Zooey by Alice Heller is the perfect must have for this fall.  Short, cropped jackets are so in this season and truly are the perfect pieces to exemplify fall fashion trends.  This designer jacket from Zooey is a perfect mix of comfort and style.  I love this Bomber Jacket for so many reasons.  Believe it or not this jacket is 100% washable and 100% soft cotton!  I love to pair this jacket with skinny jeans and boots.  Another detail I love is the button up collar that actually buttons all the way up which gives you limitless possibilities for styling.  There are even pockets in the front.   The jacket flairs above the waist, but still features a waist band in back to give it a fitted look.   As an added feminine touch, the waist band in back actually scoops up to give it a distinctive, feminine look.  Which if women’s  jackets can’t be feminine and stylish then what’s the point?   This jacket is currently available at Vintage Fringe in both black and midnight (navy blue).   Best of all – this jacket is currently on sale so get yours today while supplies last!

Women’s Fashion Trends

Monday, January 26th, 2009

We’re always on the look out for fabulous fashion trends in women’s clothing and this season one such trend is ruffles.  We love the feminine touch and particularly love the use of ruffles in the Ruffle Bib Top by Zooey Clothing.  The ruffle bib top features a series of 4 columns of ruffles around the “bib” area of the top.  The top features a 4 button Henley collar in the middle of the ruffle columns.

Like most of Zooey’s tops, the Ruffle Bib Top is made of supima cotton so it is ultra soft and we love this top not just because of the feminine style touch with the ruffles, but also because of the versatility.  It is great with jeans, but we also love to rock it with a cute skirt and boots.   The sleeves are 3/4 sleeves so it is also great practically year round as well!  It’s machine washable and super comfortable.  The waist flares out a bit so it is best to wear it loose.  It is also long–another fashion trend that we love.   This is certainly one of our favorite pieces from Zooey by Alice Heller as it strikes the perfect balance with comfort and wearability and still incorporates feminine touches and adds that extra piece of “fringe”.  Available in Mouse (Grey), Black, Midnight (Navy), and White.

Winter Must Haves – Jackets by Zooey Clothing

Thursday, December 4th, 2008

Zooey Clothing has so many different designer clothing styles to love, but today we’re focused on their fabulous jackets.  With cold weather in full swing, having the perfect hip, stylish designer jacket is practically a necessity!  What we love about these jackets is their unique twist on the typical hum drum standard jacket style.

Zooey Clothing

Alice Heller at Zooey has made sure to design jackets that have stylish twists to the traditional jacket style.  By way of illustration, check out the Heavy Fleece Hooded Jacket featuring flared sleeves and collar.   We also love the hood.  The best part is that the hood is somewhat subtle, so it isn’t over the top, but it fits with the overall stylish design of the jacket.  You can’t forget the buttons either.  With buttons on the cuffs as well, Zooey made sure that no details were forgotten with this awesome jacket.  And last, but certainly not least, the fabrics.

Zooey Clothing always focuses on using soft, comfortable, easy to wear clothing and their jackets are no exception.  Zooey used a great heavy cotton that truly gets softer after every wash and yes, it is machine washable.  Available in both Black and Pilgrim (Smokey Purple), this jacket is the perfect addition to your winter jacket collection.

The Ultimate Holiday Top from Zooey by Alice Heller

Tuesday, November 25th, 2008

Zooey by Alice Heller has done it again!  She has designed a fabulous top that we think will be a must have for all fashionistas this holiday season.  We’re referring to the black satin trim cardigan top that is so versatile.

It can easily work as a cardigan over your dress to the holiday party, yet still looks amazing when worn with jeans.  With the contrasting satin trim around the collar, the body of the top, and the tie, this top has that dressy, sophisticated look while also being super soft and made from a supima cotton modal blend making it so comfortable.  What we love even more about this awesome fabric is that it is also machine washable.   We love the 3/4 length sleeves that also add to the versatility as it doesn’t have to be worn only in the winter.   Zooey’s creative use of contrasting fabrics never neglects the basics.

Signature tops such as their wide v neck available in every sleeve length makes Zooey by Alice Heller’s tops a fashion trend for a variety of tops including those everyday basic tops that even fashionistas can’t live without.
