Purple & Ombre - Two trends that go well together

If you flip though any fashion magazine these days they will tell you Purple is the IT color for Fall 08. I'm on board with that. I love a deep jewel tone to balance out the sometimes dreary weather and just as dreary colored clothes that appear in Fall.

Imagine my surprise as I was surfing Targaayy (Target for you regualr folks...LOL) when I came upon some cool (and cheap) Purple items. Many of them included two other trends you know I love patent and Ombre. So I figured I would share them with you because I love to help people look stylish and if it can be done cheaply all the better ;).

Xhilaration® Ombre Satchel - Purple (Small $16.99




Xhilaration® Ombre Tote Bag - Purple $19.99

Project Runway - Design Game

Not sure if you guys are aware of this, I know I wasn't, but Project Runway has a Design game on their website. The game is called "The Design Challenge". It allows you to create an outfit by picking a sillouette which you can then accessorize and colorize. It is fun. At least I think so ;).

I created three different looks. You should hop over there and try your hand at it. And if you have time, check out my designs and rate them for me:

1) Jeans, Shirt & Boots look

2) Pencil Skirt, Sweater & Boots look

3) Maxi Dress, Vest & Flip Flop look


Thanks

Using Clothing and Accessories as a canvas brings Fashion to the next level

I loved the Dolce & Gabbana painted organza gown Rose McGowan wore at the amFar event the other night.




I love the Clothing and Accessories as a canvas. I've always thought of Clothing as Art but this is taking it to a new level by mixing what people consider "real" art with Fashion to create Fashion². It reminded me of the Prada line for Spring/Summer 2008 that mixed Art with Prada's usual beautiful clothes. Below are some of my favorite items from that line.
