                     1930’s Newsboy Style                  2008 Wallstreet Style

Fashionista’s are crashing with style, learning to dress with the times now that we are in recession. How? Reminiscent of the great depression era where cash flow wasn’t allowing for excessive spending, we are turning back the tables… Trading in “trendy” clothing for quality clothing that can last seasons, baggy pants, vests and newsboy caps are all making their come back. Subdued tones in shades of grays and browns are filling up stores preparing for fall. As the saying goes “When in Rome, do as the Romans do…” the same application goes for the recession…”When in a recession, dress as the recessionistas do!”

                         Keep up with the trends!

Long gone are the days where paisley brought back memories of your great grandmother wrapped in neck scarves. Today, paisley has been showing up in every place on every one that has a sense of fashion. From large prints to small, infused with color and class, paisley has been a hit on the runway scene as well as on the streets of NYC.

My advice, dig through your grandmothers closet and snatch up those scarves. Throw on some jeans and a wifebeater. Wrap the scarf around your neck and you are the ultimate fashionista!

Now go digging!!

Tired of your plain leggings? Second skin just got a facelift and it is making girls all around NYC want to run and grab some…Royal Bohemian just launched a new line of leggings that are quickly becoming the hottest items on wish lists across the city. With many styles ranging from Royal Latex Gloss leggings to Royal Tuxedo Pants you are bound to find a perfect second skin to compliment the one you were born in.

From runway to realway…this season is all about the zipper. It has popped up on runways such as Behnaz Sarafpour, Derek Lam and Thakoon and now it can pop up in your closet on your favorite leggings. Royal Bohemian has two styles of leggings with zippers. My personal favorite?  The Hidden Zipper which adds a nice touch that can take your leggings from day to night.

For the past couple of years I have been walking by this store on the Upper West Side in NYC called Lush. I have never walked into the store but recently I read about it in a magazine. After reading rave reviews about their products I decided I would test them out for myself. The aroma as you walk in is like heaven. A mix of chocolate, flowers and fruits fill the air with enough zest to wake up your credit card just in time to swipe in through the register. And, in a green world what is better than organic products made of all natural ingredients?!?

TRY ME:

 Brazened Honey facial mask: detoxifying mask made from avocado, lime, honey and other natural ingredients leaving skin polished and smooth. I have to admit I am addicted to this face mask, I have even turned my friends onto this product, the secret is out!!

Ocean Salt: This Vodka Margarita will not leave you with the extra calories and a hangover but it will leave you with great looking skin. Great for face and body.

What is better than free Iced Coffee day at Dunkin Donuts? A NYC sample sale. If you have never been to one, get ready! Women are set free to roam, grab and scratch in their best habitat…a store! If you survive you just might make it out there with one of those fabulous lifetime deals that will last you for years to come. So women put on your hard hats and head over to  the Authentic Wholesalers/Sample Sale  at 42W 36th Street New York for your Fendi, Prada, Marc Jacobs and many more at discounted prices. Store hours are Tuesday-Friday from 10am-6pm.

With summer just around the corner and temperatures rising the streets of New York are jam packed with women stripping off the layers from winter. Skin is in. The more skin the better, perhaps to stay cool but a recent trend puts the cooling-off factor to a test. Spotted on everyone who is anyone from Lindsay Lohan to Rihanna even on the sugary sweet Brittany Snow on a recent trip to New York is the “summer hat.” These celebs have begged us to ask if the term “beauty hurts” has changed to “beauty heats?” Well one can only know if they test out the trend… and with that said, I am off to get my very own hat succumbing to fashion yet once again! Maybe my cool summer dress will help balance out the heat emanating from my head but as long as I look cute, what’s heat got to do with it?!?
