Nature's Path

Nature’s Path
Similar to nature and the changing seasons, fashion follows a path from moderate to daring. This winter season fashion took a turn with warm sweaters and sophisticated denims.

Trend Alert: Say What? Slogans Rule.

In the age of Twitter, Facebook, Instagram, and all things social media, celebs and bloggers alike constantly speak their minds through their online accounts. Now, they are also speaking through their clothes.

Slogans are fun and easy to wear--just throw over jeans, add a blazer and you're done for the day! Since they pretty much speak for themselves DON'T overshadow the cleverness by over-accessorizing. For a bold look like this, less is definitely more. DO juxtapose the casual charming tee with an elegant bottom; a silk skirt or pair of leather pants can completely upgrade the whole outfit.
Slogan tees, sweaters, and beanies are a cheeky way of expressing sentiments without ever having to open your mouth. The only trouble is, they can get you into trouble if you're not careful. Abercrombie and Fitch's infamous "West Virginia" t-shirt from 2004 caused a lot of buzz in the media, even causing the West Virginia Governor to speak up about the matter. (Read more here) A&F's slogan fiasco is just one example of inappropriate catchphrases on clothing, so DO make sure you are careful when choosing your graphic apparel.
Slogans and bold logos are definitely stare-inducing but DON'T be shy! Embrace the confused looks you might receive in the street, or laugh along when onlookers get the clever play on words. 
"What? You mean you've never heard of Homiés?? How about the prestigious brand Féline?"
"Let's take a Célfie together!" 
Love it.

Would You Wear...Overalls?

Overalls are definitely a statement wardrobe item. It's a fine line to walk: the difference between being mistaken for a construction worker (possibly a farmer) and being très chic. I think overalls are a on-point update of the classic blue jean, and therefore totally acceptable. 

They come in the form of pants, skirts, and shorts as well as a wide variety of fabrics including denim, corduroy, leather, and linen. (Silk too, but those border on pajamas...)

Dress them up for a night out with a jeweled collar and blazer, or keep them casual with a classic Marinière top and some cool shades.
So...would you wear them?
