Jackets

Motostyle on The Hills Okay maybe it’s not the latest trend, it’s actually been rolling out slowly for the past year but it think it’s just about to hit its stride and hit it hard. The latest trend is all about tough women. First we saw the motorcycle boots come out with a pretty big vengeance this fall, they were often compared to the cowboy boots as women were trying to capture that strength and portray a more resilient image. I blame this on the economic situation, when finances start to... more

Paris Hilton Winter Wear Okay, as I spend my winter vacation freezing my butt off in Florida (yes it has actually snowed here and the wind chill is in the 20’s!) I’m thinking that I am really inappropriately dressed. So how should I have dressed for my January vacation in south Florida? Well, apparently I should have dressed like a four year old if I’m going to use Paris Hilton as a fashion example (and who really would do that). Apparently Paris Hilton has decided the only way to bundle up... more

Rachel McAdams The up and coming trend for 2010 is military inspired. Rachel McAdams has fully adopted this style with her Smythe’s surplus jacket in a traditional olive color.

Audrina Patridge Audrina Patridge has come up with an almost perfect outfit for the fall/winter 2009 season. This star from the Hills has paired casual with chic and crisp and put together a look that is perfect for any casual situation and some that are even a bit more dressy.

Michael Jackson There are a lot of reasons that fashion turns to the armed services but this time I think it actually has more to do with Michael Jackson than the economy. The current military inspired jacket is a little more military band member than the traditional camo jacket of the past.

In keeping with the Michael Jackson style look for a jacket that has a bit of a military look but a lot of bling... more

Flashdance Seriously,... more
