Especially Inspired Past

Comfortable fashion, special vintage pieces and not being afraid to borrow from the man in your life. A way of the future.

“The Glamour gal” replaced the “Cosmo”

For those of you, and I bet there are many, who have not gotten tired of the craziness that is Sex & the City, watch the movie carefully. There are new trends to copy, classics to keep and innovative ways to change up that same old look you like to wear.

If you dare to go watch the movie on the opening night (today) and going for cocktails afterwards, then you need to watch this video. Cosmos might be this girl’s favorite however the “glamour gal” cocktail looks a lot more refreshing on a hot summer night. If your bartender has no idea what it is you might be ordering, follow the steps carefully as demonstrated by Gage Cass. There is also the “Manhattan” for those men who like something a bit more masculine.

2009 Trends

le la Moda — Fri, 18 Dec 2009 02:24:05 +0000

Fashion magazines are getting thinner by the minute, however the fashion crowds still have needs. The hunger for individual fashion has never been greater, yet the classics still remain the most economic way to go. Everyone knows style cannot be found in the pages of Vogue however trends are here to stay and the ones I loved are listed right here.

The New Year is near and it will be time to say goodbye to 2009. There are trends we wish would go away and then there are those that made the year perfect and kept us going in style. To name a few I wish harem pants and acid-wash jeans would die off with the year 09.

2009 Trends To Love

Rock & Roll Chic-leather, leather and more leather. This rough yet oh so sleek trend has transferred over to pants, tough clutches, cuffs and tiny little leather jackets.

Once Balmain took over Band Jackets came into our lives with a full effect. The Balmain jacket has been photographer over and over on stylists, editors, celebrities and models. The images are endless and we will gladly take it with us into 2010.

The Classics are no trends, however once the economy crashed down on us so did our budgets. This meant dusting off those good old classics that make for a great outfit.

Chunky Chains & Body Jewelry-this year jewelry has proved to us that it can go further than just the basics, your arms, back and legs, well almost every part of your body wants to be adorned with beautiful pieces.

Big/padded shoulders, the love of Lady Gaga goes far but the over exaggerated shoulders do not. If the 80s have taught us anything it is that bigger is not always better, however a bit of definition never hurt anyone and this is why I love big(ger) shoulders in any nicely tailored blazer.

Over the Knee boots, is agreeably not new to style worshippers however an amazing trend to try out if you have not already. Pair your favorite skinny jeans

Cold weather separates, Denim shorts in the winter? Blame it on Kate Moss, but it looks wonderful when paired with black tights, chunky sweater or sleek blazer.

Glitz & Studs-studs, studs everywhere. Accessories or clothing, no item was safe from studs or glitzy details.

Tights have not gone anyplace, in fact they became more decorative and with a higher price tag. Whatever your heart pleases tights can do.

Party in Pink

I saw a striking color on the street today, PINK. Wearing a pink coat on the streets of New York takes a brave soul and one pretty in pink girl pulled it off with a smile. In the New Year consider celebrating with something bright pink. Not brave enough? An accessory is enough to make you put a twinkle in your eye. You just might get yourself a new crush.

This season no one has done pink better than Michael Kors. Paired with chunky accessories and a serious coat you will exude elegance.

Navy blues & plum purples

Running in leggings

le la Moda — Wed, 21 Oct 2009 14:25:01 +0000

As previously reported leggings have become a classic of their own and let’s face it, they are not going anyplace. It is just too comfortable and too good to let go. This Fall/Winter they have gotten a major makeover and obviously basic black is wise, but who says you can’t have some fun with silver, gold, studded/printed designs & sparkles? Just makes sure it is not too overwhelming in the real world.

The greener side

The armor pants

le la Moda — Wed, 23 Sep 2009 23:55:11 +0000

What has been showing up on every fashion-obsessed blog? It seems to be the Sass and Bide Spring/Summer 2010 collection. More specifically, their studded pants are the primary obsession. Studs are slowly becoming more of a staying trend than a fad. These pants in particular look like an armor I would love to have on hand.

Dolce, Dolce, Dolce
