High Society

Posted on January 29, 2013 by barbara solomon

Some outfits you put on and just feel great. I’ve never paired these items together before, and now that I have, I’m not sure how else I’ll wear them. Fashion Magazine asked the style panel how to wear the trend of the button-up shirt and necklace, this is what I said. This trend can be seen all over the runways and throughout every blog, as it’s easy to wear, layer, and change up. I challenge you, my readers and friends, to play with this look with prints and patterns. Why not do something unexpected like mixing a leopard print and a geometric print?

The Craft

The combination of winter season and the current 90’s trend channel the 1996 film The Craft. Minis, plaids, crop tops, blouses, pleats, menswear and heavy boots are just a few of the fashions you can get inspired by while watching the movie.

BUFFALO PLAID

Posted on December 20, 2012 by barbara solomon

Ok, so I’m obsessed with the oversized plaid print. It’s very 90s while being very graphic at the same time. So when I found these pants a few months ago at Urban Outfitters, I grabbed them right away, and then last week I was walking by the men’s section of the same location, and found this sweater. I stared at it for a bit, wondering if I’d actually wear it together. I clearly made a great choice in picking it up, as together this is such a strong look.

Fashion can be scary. Whether it be spending a lot of money on something, trying a new trend, wearing a crazy print, or going vintage shopping for the first time. I will always say go for what scares you (well depends when it comes to $$). If you’re still unsure, have a fashion team, who’s opinions you can actually trust.

For me it’s my best friend, Jordana, and my boyfriend/photographer, Trevor, with styles completely their own, they are the ones who dare and challenge me the most to try new things.
