J is for Juicy made that?!?!?




1. Yes people, the above is indeed Juicy Couture. Formally known for blinding velour tack suits, and logo tees that piss you off, Juicy is now stepping out and introducing us to a whole new look of sophistication. This dress is a perfect fall look. Airy, but can be toughened up with mascaline boots, and beat up jacket. Or maybe a long sleeve shirt with tights? Juicy is showing us some feminity, and I am loving it!

2. To prove even more that Juicy no longer is just its bubble-gum pop ways, here is a mascaline boot. Either in black or in a darker shade of brown, these boots can be rocked over skinnies, a bubble top, a shirt dress... you name it, and these babies will take a look from 6 to a perfect 10!

Juicy also reminded me: Don't be SO quick to judge whether or not a brand is utter crapoola! You may walk into abercrombie, and find something you love! Or if you aren't an American Apperal chick... just peek around and you will be so suprised that a store you thought you hated could be one you love!

I is for Its over!




1. This season, we are sad to say, that some trends have passed. In the first pic, Nicole Richie works a headband and skull scarf. Soryy to tell you Nicole, but those are a little last season. If you want to wear a scarf, try out a vintage peice with warm tones. This dresses up any ensamble. As for the infamous crazy head-scarf, ditch it. I love the hippie llook, but unless you are going to go for it, try out a sparkly headband, or a turban if you dare.

2. Lindsay Lohan is wearing a pair of leggings and booties. First off, the look is misporportined, but we won't go bashing lInds for that. Tights are the new leggings. They add an air of sophistication to any look. And they have textures, and more versitile designs. To get some leggings, or a new headband, try Target.com, or maybe Forever21.com

H is for Hats




1. As you can see, models and designers alike are reintroducing us to hats. Whether its a classic fedora, beret, newboy cap, or a big floppy sun hat, you definatly need to have one on your head. Prada has come out with a bunch of silk and brightly colored ones. For winter, set off an outfit with a white beret, or a sparkly fedora. With this trend, you cannot go wrong.

2. Not everyone can afford a Burberry cap. So why not try out this funky urban outfitter's fedora? Coming in at a modest price of 24 dollars, you can use it all the time, and not do a big damage to your wallet.

G is for Get REAL!




1. Lately, more then ever, teens are getting the fake version of high fashion brands. Company's such as Chanel and Coacch are being knocked off, but I have been seeing many many Louis Vuittons. For those of you who buy fake bags, not smart. People can tell. And that's not a good thing. Maybe some of you have bought one on Ebay and didn't know it was fake. Well, here are some things to look for in a bag:

- make sure you have seen a bag like this before.

- no brown suede lining inside

- stitching is even and regular, on the outside, it is always five by five.

- bag does not have to be made in france to be authentic

- fake bags may have patches on them in corners... NOT AUTHENTIC

- Louis Vuitton writing has specific font. The O's are very round!

- Authentic LV bags do not have a seriel number on them

- Authentic bags do not have attached tags

- Authentic multi color bags will never have one side be upside down, and have on of the symbols right side up.

TAKE ALL OF THIS INTO ACCOUNT WHEN PURCHASING A BAG!

2. In this picture, Jessica Simpson is rocking a real speedy Louis Vuitton. How do we know its real? Chec above and see if you can tell!

F is for Frocks




1. The first picture basically shows all of the frocks (dresses) that are going to be a hit this fall. On the left, we have a bold dress, with a splash of colour. The middle dress is netural, which will be a great fashion staple for the upcoming season. On the far left, we see a glamoruos matellic look. Metallic and Medals have been HUGE on the red carpet, as well as in many designer collections. Finding one of these frocks for a cheaper price? Try Shopbop.com, Urbanoutfitters.com, Forver21.com. Or use google. It has hepled me find some amzing one of a kind peices.

2. How could I mention faboulous frocks without throwing in a little Chanel? The dresses are always so chic, and so easy to wear! This one has a great ruffle on top, which is another steadily growing trend. Having a few ruffly ddresses in your closet can do no harm! Oh, and a little balck dress is always a plus!

E is for Eyewear




1. You may not be able to wear them inside school, but anywhere else, a pair of trendy, cute, and funky sunglasses are a must. In this picture, there are some 5 dollar frames from Forever 21. Inspired by Nicole Richie, these shades grab attention, and look like a million bucks!

2. If you prefer a more classic look, why not try out some Ray-Ban wayfears? They add a sparkle of cool to any ensamble. This pair was on sale for 99 dollars, which is a steal for luxury. But whatver shades you rock this fall, make sure they fit your head-shape. These would look great on someone with a heart shaped face, and the ones above would look great on someone with a round or oval shape.

D is for Denim




1. Denim Denim Denim! We grew up with the classic boot-cut, but lately, those don't always cut it. Skinny jeans have been taking teens and adults by storm. They can be worn under a Balenciaga-esque blazer, bubble tops, tunics, tanks, hoodies, etc. The possibilites are endless! Now, stores are also selling skinnies in pastels, and primary colors. Do you dare try it? I say go for it!

2. The always trend-setting Kate Moss shows us that there is more to life then being skinny. Here she rocks wide-leg jeans with a soft sweater. If you want to break free of the skinny jeans look, you should go for this look. Its sophisticated, but not over done.
