fashion line of the day # 11

"a watch really doesn't go
with this outfit, daddy."
~ cher, "clueless"

i pinned this tokyo crystal wrap watch a while ago on pinterest from shopbop, but it doesn't make me want it any less now! it's listed at $165, but i found a much thinner, brown version at loehmann's a couple months ago for only $15...which normally runs $135!

fashion line of the day #10

"smiley faces are like the capri pants of e-mail.
women wear them and men wear them,
but men never should."

~ from my work roommate and the office's creative director.

fashion line of the day #9

"i think you're destined to have a good day
when you're wearing red shoes ;)"
~ my friend chrissy 's facebook status

i liked this little bit of fashion wisdom from my good friend chrissy today, and wanted to pass it along. red is good, but it doesn't hurt when they're pretty cute too!

i must agree with her. there's something that just feels special about red shoes (check out my red shoe post from about a year ago if you don't believe me...). i have red sandals, red round-toe pumps and more, but these are my favorite:

what shoes make you feel special?

fashion line of the day #8

"telephone, telegraph, tell a woman."

~ estee lauder

the conference i attended for work this week - the word of mouth supergenius conference - was based on building creative grassroots campaigns, so although i knew i'd learn more about social media and other ways to enhance my clients and my own blog, finding actual fashion content was unexpected.

...which is why i jumped on the afternoon session run by marisa thalberg from estee lauder companies. she mentioned this inspiring quote by ms. lauder herself, who thalberg called the first word of mouth marketer.

just tell a woman and you know it'll get around. i love it.

fashion line of the day #7

"i like my clothes like i like my women: options."

~ mike "the situation" from mtv's jersey shore

now you probably did not expect to read about the jersey shore in anything to do with good style, but this quote was too great to not pass on.

fashion line of the day #6

'in my mind, this time of year always triggers thoughts of glitzy soirées, dinner affairs

and most importantly, the excuse to splurge

on party-appropriate attire!"

~ celebrity stylist rachel zoe on the holidays,

from her blog, the zoe report.

agreed!

fashion line of the day #5

"we are definitely excited to wear the all-white uniforms. it's historic because fsu has never worn white uniforms at home before, so it's going to be fun to be a part of that. it should be exciting for the fans, and we want to see them in all-white, too.''

~ florida state university's senior free safety jamie robinson,

from the miami herald

this proves my point that fashion is important in all aspects of life, even in football. it also shows that it's ok (and encouraged by me!) to wear white after labor day, especially if you live in florida. but if you have a difficult time breaking this old school fashion rule and still need a reason, then here is one for you...wear it to support your seminoles!

so don't want to wear one of fsu's official white-out shirts and need a few ideas for wearing white to the game? shop summer sales first since white is typically not a color included in most fall collections. you might want to start with macy*s fashion+home sale first, and pick up the extra 15 percent off coupon in the main section of the palm beach post or online today.

try this lightweight and playful spring twill tunic by bcbg and pair it with white leggings or wear alone if you're short enough like me. originally $148, this shirt-dress is now only $63 if you use the macy*s coupon.

originally $98, free people's disco jersey dress is also a good pick for the game now that it's reduced to $62 with the macy*s coupon. the relaxed drapery will keep you cool in all aspects of the game.


sorry to all my tampa readers out there, but you might want to wear black because it's going to be a dark day out there for you saturday!

fashion line of the day #4

"my look is attainable. women can look like audrey hepburn by flipping out their hair, buying the large sunglasses, and the little sleeveless dresses."

~ audrey hepburn

forever a fashion icon, this is something many of us (like me!) still try to do today. her classic look is easy to mimic and always in style, so take note!

fashion line of the day #3

"i have to keep all the boys off this dress. this is my taser for the night, since they won't let me bring my taser into radio city. so i can just go 'boom, off!'"

~ katy perry talking to adrienne bailon about her outfit on the red carpet of the 2009 mtv vmas. see her full interview on mtv.com.

the "i kissed a girl" singer known for her outrageous fashion choices was looking hot in her glam makeup, spiked and shiny dress by the blonds, and shimmering shoes by none other than christian louboutin.

she says she wore the dress to keep away the boys, but i personally think it was to keep away one in particular, my friend andrew who lives in nyc and could be trying to seek her out :)

fashion line of the day #2

"i love girl bands, and the plastiscines have a sound and look that represents everything i was feeling as i was designing the collection. i was watching their video and thought, i want my show to look like that."

~ alice + olivia's stacey bendet about my fave girl band as the inspiration behind her spring 2010 collection, taken from style.com.

check out photos from the plastiscines performing at alice + olivia's spring show during new york fashion week at nylonmag.com. you'll view a faux parisian town full of soft and feminine pinks, purples, grays and creams mixed with edgier blacks, metallics and lace for a line that is both sexy and sweet...and don't forget about the ton of celebs among the crowd, like twilight's ashley greene, gossip girl's kelly rutherford and 90210's annalynne mccord.

fashion line of the day #1

sometimes you need a few kind words to get through the day. some of us have uplifting tear-off calendars, my mom's boss e-mails her teachers inspirational quotes each day, and i think jason from the wild morning show reads off silly thoughts of the day.

me? i need a contstant stream of fashion, which is why i thought i'd combine the two for you by unveiling my "fashion lines." i'll bring you quotes by renowned designers, one-line tips from fashion mags, notes from the red carpet and other general style sayings to add a little glamour to your day.

so here it is, and today's line comes from a sweet gift our fabulous intern bought me:

"i can deal with anything if i have the right shoes."

christian louboutin's lady page velvet-bow pumps in oxblood from bergdorf's
because if i had these shoes, i could rule the world.
