Weekend Wear

2008-01-24T14:37:00.001-08:00

You'll see articles about what you should wear to work and still look stylish, an outfit for a special night out or suggestions for a special dress to wear during the holidays, but you don't get a lot of advice on what you should wear on your everday weekend. Some have a hard time differentiating comfortable with sloppy. Everyone wants more than just that favorite sweat suite and something more creative than just a t-shirt and jeans. You don't have to wear your baggy sweatpants out to stay comfortable. The key is to be comfortable while looking chic all at the same time. Now the question is, how do you accomplish that look?

I'll give you a couple of simple tips and outfits that anyone can put together. It's natural for most people to reach for their favorite baggy sweats when the weekend rolls around. But stop yourself right there and use these tips to put together a comfortable yet chic outfit that anyone can put together.

Some Tips:
- Remember to try and pick one piece that is more body conscious, opt for your favorite skinny jeans, fitted tees that you can layer, or a fitted jacket.

- Accesorize with a hat or a scarf to add some personal style to your outfit.

- Finish your look with a flat pair of boots or some flats

TREND ALERT! The Oversized Clutch

2008-01-17T10:38:00.001-08:00

Clutches have been back on the scene for awhile now...but they've evolved a little to the bigger and better oversized version! Not only will this enable you to fit in more than just your lipgloss, ID, and credit card; it'll keep you looking fabulously chic and in style! You'll see all your favorite celebs carrying them so don't be afraid to find your favorite style and color and paint the town red! Don't worry about the color, fabric or exact shape or size, as you can see anything goes!

Trends to AVOID in 2008

2008-01-09T17:01:00.000-08:00

Now that I've already gone over the 'hot' trends of 2007 and the new trends for 2007. I think it's important for me to touch on the trends from 2007 that should just be avoided all together.

1. Overly Loose Fitting Clothes
Clothes that are really loose not only make you look sloppy but you can't tell what's going on under there. Show off that body and find clothes that are made to flatter your figure!

2. Overall Shorts
If the celeb with a super fit body can't pull it off how are regular folks like us supposed to? It's just not that flattering so lets just shelf this trend.

3. Metallics
Although metallics were EVERYWHERE last year in a very big way. I think this trend just needs to be toned down a bit then you don't have to completely avoid it. Subtlety is key.

4. Crocs
These have to be the most hideous pair of shoes ever made! Unless you're wearing them to garden don't be seen with them on in public. They're just no flattering on ANYONE no matter how many colors they come in.

Never too Early or too Late for a Trench Coat

2008-01-07T14:47:00.000-08:00

Trench's continue to be a wardrobe staple. The trench is a classic and looks good on any body type. The best part is that since it's a classic year after year you don't have to worry about having the one from last year or even buying one that's a season old. The trench coat is especially useful going into the Spring season. A perfect cover up for those days when you don't need a heavy coat but can't go without a jacket at all.

Rampage is fully stocked with trench coats. Not only do we have to classic colors but we've also just introduced a perfect yellow shade for the Spring!

Must Haves from 2007

2008-01-03T12:29:00.000-08:00

Time Magazine has recently released their 10 'Must-Haves' of 2007. I agree with some and not so much with others. What do YOU think?? Let's all hope that trends for 2008 will be ones that we mostly love and make us look good! Here's the list with my feedback.

1. The Tent Dress- If it's not too potato sack like it can look some-what decent on. But for the most part this style is not flattering on most and it makes most look pregnant!

2. White Sunglasses- I never picked up on this trend, but that's mostly due to the fact that I happen to really love my oversized black ones along with my aviators.

3. High Waist Jeans- Another trend I'm on the fence about. Definitely can make a model look chic and stylish but again probably another trend that's not for everyone.

4. Day Clutches- YES! I've been a HUGE clutch fan for years.. I'm just glad that the fashion world agreed this year and came out with soo many cute ones! (Like our Rampage one below)

5. Ankle Boots- Nothing wrong with mixing up your boot collection with these ankle skimming booties.

6. Vests- Menswear inspired clothing is all the rage right now. Vests will give your outfit that little bit of spice that it needs!

7. Fedoras- Definitely a step up from your basic baseball cap. If you think you can pull it off, go for it!

8. Bright Tights- Personally I like my tights (and leggings) in neutral colors. I'll stick to the basics with black, white, or grey. I think the brightness can sometimes take away from your outfit.

9. Red Lipstick- You saw this look on all your favorite celebrities. Just make sure that your lipstick is cohesive with your outfit.

10. Cocktail Rings- Definitely another one of my favorites!! This small piece of jewelry can liven up your outfit and have people staring. Who knew such a small piece could make such a huge difference.

TREND ALERT: Bubble Dresses

2007-12-13T14:39:00.000-08:00

The bubble dress or skirt is the silhouette of the season. I'm sure most of you have noticed the look showing up everwhere, and it will continue into the Spring. I think most people have a mixed reaction on this new trend. Personally I happen to like it but I've heard a great deal of folks with differing opinions. Some find it to be a very unattractive style, which may hold true on some designs. BUT I have seem some quite flattering styles in the bubble style; it's just about finding the one right for your body. There are some bubble silhouettes that lie flatter and have a more feminine look to it versus the big poofy bubble effect of some. Just remember not all bubbles dresses are created equal so try on a couple different styles before you ban it from your wardrobe.

Here are a couple of our own styles both bubble dresses but also very different.

And just to prove my point, some very flattering bubble styles that celebrities have been wearing.

80's Flashback!

2007-12-03T15:57:00.001-08:00

Fashion is taking us back to the 80's. From leggings, to plastic jewelry, neon colors, batwing tops, and one of the newer trends making a comeback are the leg warmers! I would have never in a million years thought that leg warmers would be back in fashion. But lo and behold they're back with a vengeance! I didn't think these would actually make it off the runways and into the closets of everyday people, but I couldn't have been more wrong. Girls are more creative this time around, and I've seen them worn a few different ways.
Just to name a few:

Leg warmers over leggings; paired with a tunic and pumps-
Leg warmers over skinny jeans with boots or with pumps-
Leg warmers over bare legs, pumps, and a dress

Which look do you prefer the most? How do you wear your leg warmers?
