Reminder: Fashion isn't about price, it's about UNDERSTANDING.

The more I look around me, and the more I realize I'm surrounded by people who think that because they have the right label, they have the right look. This is a very common mistake, that leads to shocking fashion disasters, and big waist of money!!!

So please, let's remind that taste is key. You can make a very stylish statement without ruining yourself. Of course you cannot compare a Lanvin dress to an Old Navy one, that's not even questionnable. What I mean is that the minimum is to understand the idea behind a garment made by a designer. For instance, if a skirt looks radius down the runway, it's 50% of the garment, and 50% of the understanding and of the styling.

Here are some example of high priced disasters, and "affordable exquisit look":

Even a 2500$ Hermes bag couldn't do anything for her...

Chanel shirt 350$

Hermes handbag 2500$

Alexander wang skirt 250$

Total: 3100$ 

Just a question of styling... Voila:

Forever 21 cardigan 120$

T by Alexander Wang tank 50$

Target sandals 50$

BDG for Urban Outfitters jeans 80$

 Total: 300$

Shoulder Pad Power are back, and here to stay!!!

As you may have noticed, since the Balmain Spring 2008 collection, the shoulder pad are back, under the name of Soulder Power!! And I LOVE it!
What could have been just a one season trend, seems to be here to stay, since Balmain "did it again" in his last 2010 spring collection. But this season he's not the only one to have adopted the Shoulder Power. Celine, D.A. Vandestrof, Comme des Garçons, Alice + Olivia and more have digg out the shoulder pad too!!!
Usually, we recognize a trend when it goes from the runway to Zara's and H&M's commercials stores. Well guess what? This is exactly what's happenning, so keep an eye open!!
