Cold Weather, Short Shorts?

Yes, it may seem rather silly to wear shorts in winter, yet it’s so brilliant! I think it’s especially funny since I don’t particularly like wearing shorts in summer, yet there is something about layering the shorts over tights and wearing them with boots that make the seem more modest and less beach-bound teenybopper. But to do this trend right, you can’t just simply throw on your lightweight summer shorts over tights and expect it to work. Choose a winter weight fabric that’s appropriate for the season like wool or tweed for day or silk, leather or sequins for night

 Tobey Maguire Helps Natalie Portman Go Vegan

img2.timeinc / CC “I was like, ‘Um, could you make two of those?’ And I’d make a cute face, and they’d roll their eyes and give me another falafel.” —Natalie Portman, on how easy Brothers co-star Tobey Maguire , who brought his own vegan chef to the set, made it for the newly vegan starlet to eat humanely. Jake Gyllenhaal hasn’t issued a statement yet, but I’m willing to bet chowed down with his co-stars on some vegan vittles too. Could you resist food from a personal vegan chef

 Haute Deal: A Designer Bustier Zipper Dress For A Fifth Of The Cost!

As an obsessive bargain shopper (I rarely go a week without at least stepping foot into a Forever 21), I’ve developed a pretty keen eye for spotting designer look-alikes for less , not only at super-cheap stores that are known for popping out runway replicas, but on the racks of mid-range contemporary stores like Bebe too! For example, this Knit Bustier Full Zip Dress at Bebe touts a reasonable $89 price tag, but in comparison to its designer twinzie, this Lisa Marie Fernandez “Leigh” Dress ($425), it’s a total steal! True, LMF’s is a little more structurally body-con with its neoprene fabric, but quite frankly I think Bebe’s is more flattering with its banded detail and breathable fabric (not to mention more forgiving after a batch of holiday cookies)!

 TheFind Keeps It Hot In Cozy Couture!

You’ve probably noticed that sweater dresses are everywhere at the moment, and most of them are pretty short – perfect for this season’s over-the-knee boots , especially with a pair of cute tights. If you want a great selection of sweater dresses in multiple styles, check out the what we have to offer – that’s where I got this V-necked grey sweater dress, which is very comfortable and flattering to boot – and many other styles, colors and designs, too! I love this trend, but I think you have to be careful with it if you’re the kind of person who usually gets warm indoors and wants to take off your sweater.

 Stay Toasty Like A Marshamallow In Puffer Coats And Vests!

Remember in high school when all the cool kids wore those puffy jackets and vests during the winter? The more you resembled the Michelin Man the better, it seemed, but although the puffer jacket silhouette may be a little too much these days, there’s no denying that puffy outerwear kept you as warm as a toasted marshmallow. The thing is, we would all still like the comfort and warmth that comes with these designs, without actually having to look like a marshmallow

The holidays mean food, fun gifts and lots of parties and mingling with old acquaintances and new. It’s the perfect opportunity to dress to impress!
