Target Targets Roberto Cavalli

It is once again that time of year for Target to make high end fashion accessible to the common masses, and what better way to kick off this season's Designer's For Target collaboration than with the dazzling stylings of the infamous Roberto Cavalli!  His trademark prints will soon be gracing the bodies of fashionistas everywhere, and with last year's Missoni's line making record (and website) breaking sales, Cavalli's line is sure to be a huge success!  

There is, however, only one thing I find alarmingly wrong Cavalli's future line:  It will only be available in Australia!  I am hoping/praying/lighting candles that Target will come to their senses and make the line available in the U.S.  With the gi-normous popularity of the Missoni collection, how could they not?  If you happen to live in Australia, clear your schedule for October 31st and head to a Target near you.  If you happen to fall into the "geographically challenged" category (like myself), cop a squat behind the nearest computer and do the following: Type www.target.com.au as fast as the wind blows and be prepared to pay a hefty sum in shipping, but fear not, my fierce fashionistas--it will most certainly be worth it.  Until then...

Stay Fashionably Fabulous!

Bigger is Better

Greetings and salutations, my most fierce fashion followers!  How goes it in Fashionista Land?  If you're anything like myself, I am sure you've already started taking notes of this season's fiercest fall fashions, and as always--fashion does not disappoint in its philosophy of going against the grain and making it work.  

Like any other die hard fashionista, I have my own set of fashion philosophies in which all my ensembles revolve around, and one of those philosophies is: tight is right.  I mean, why would I want to make myself look bigger than I already am?  Well, I may have to make some adjustments--both philosophically AND physically.  

Over-sizing is sweeping the runways and according to fashion's finest, BIGGER is better!  Better pull those "too big" coats out of the give away pile or dare to be "last season!"  

Stay Fashionably Fabulous!

What I'm Wearing

Good day to you, my fierce fashionistas!  Today's outfit is brought to you by Friday's fashion find: A fiercely blue sleeveless shirt I happened to stumble upon while on my myriad journeys down discount lane.  I'm sure you can imagine my delight because, not only are sleeveless collared-shirts in this season, but it was also 75% off!  Double Score!  Enjoy your day, my lovlies, and-- 

Stay Fashionably Fabulous!

What I'm Wearing

   

Shoes: Steve Madden, Belt: Primark, Watch: Michael Kors, Bangles: Base Exchange, Clutch: New Look

Greetings fellow fashionistas!  Today's ensemble is what I like to call a "down with brown" theme. A makeup junkie at heart, I usually first decide what theme I'm going to do my makeup, and the rest just falls into place like magic.  My desire for a glowing bronze face trickled down to my tank top and accessories for, what I like to think, is an overall causual/cute look for summer.   Maybe I'm hoping the brown will transfer to my ridiculously pale legs, I don't know.  

I'm sorry to say, the pictures are not the greatest.  Any fellow military wives know how much our husbands work, which means I have to fend my photographic needs myself.  A blogtographer will most definitely be at the top of my list this year!  Until next time...

Stay Fashionably Fabulous!

Feeling Blue

How are my fierce fashion followers today?  Hope you all are doing fab, as always.  As for myself...I'm feeling BLUE; as in cobalt blue!  I don't normally wear the same color shoes and shirt.  It has always seemed like some sort of unofficial faux pas.  Then, I thought to myself, "Why the hell not?"  One of my favorite things about fashion is going against the grain, taking a risk, and making it work.  I'm glad I did, or I would've missed out on this fabulously flawless ensemble!  Lesson for today:  If you think it doesn't work, go for it anyway.  You might miss out on what could've have been, a shamelessly chic opportunity.  Until next time...

From Drab...to FAB!

Good day to you from Blogsville, my fabulous fashionistas!  If there's one thing I've learned while living life in the "fash" lane, it is: DON'T DISCARD THE DISCOUNT AISLES!  I've found some of my favorite duds cruising the unwanteds.  In fact, my outfit today consists of one of the clutches you will find in todays pictures, and I am wearing a lovely oversized cobalt blue silk blouse that I found in the...aHEM--Older women's section.  I am NOT ashamed!  Cruising the unwanteds section is my favorite weapon of choice. Yes, my lovelies; I said WEAPON.  It is a fashion battlefield!  Don't knock it til you try it.  Now on to the topic at hand...
When discount cruising, a fashionista has to be creative.  What may appear be unsightly may be in need of some minor tweaking.  For example:

I stumbled across two bags that I would never, ever wear, but I could see that they had potential.  The colors are are two of the "must be worn" for this season, and the buckles were a nice touch.  Then, it hit me.  I would cut off the straps and turn these bulky bags into clutches!

First, I peeled back the seams so I could get to the base of the strap as possible, and cut the straps with a pair of sharp scissors.

Then, I pushed and tucked the frayed remains into the seams with the tip of the scissors and folded over the the top half of the bag and.....

                                                               VOILA!

                                           A new "must have" accessory, all for the price of $8!

Stay Fashionably Fabulous!

Summer Stylin

Hello, my lovelies!  As many of my UK fashionistas know, the sun has not been kind to England for most of this season.  In fact, it started to feel like a fleeting image I once imagined.  Just when I was going to throw in the towel (or shall say, "duds)--lo and behold!  Summer arrived, and just in time for the Olympics.  Maybe it was the Greek gods, I don't know.  All I care about is FINALLY not having to wear a sweater, and most importantly, I get to wear my fashionably delicious outfits that have been sadly hanging in my closet wayyy longer than they should have.  What better way to kick off the late season than with neons and stripes?  It's all about color.  Now, if only I can get some on my legs...Til next time....

                                     Stay Fashionably Fabulous!
