Hey Big Trender:
She’s got sass and pizzazz–chutzpah and “what-nots”. Her style epitomizes all that is vintage and trendy, using unprecedented pieces to construct her “on the cusp” Polyvore Sets. Her signiture style habitually includes unconventional amounts of lush bangle bracelets and howlingly gaudy make-up options.
The texture and color palettes in her sets are jaw- dropping. Her soft feather edge, and her rough vintage jacket, in this set, are perfect dichotomies of one another.
HeyBigTrender… keep on trendin’

The not-so-average office wear
Yep. its that wonderful time of the year again. Its the season where college grads transition into the workforce. Where fresh meat enters the sweltering jungle of corporate America — ugh that was harsh.
Depending on your major, to grad school or not, all things are as important as style. From flip flops and sweatshirts, to seven jeans and tanks– translate your wardrobe into office chic.
Remember the times when your mom and grandma left for work with drab, 2 piece cream suits, with extra large shoulder pads. Although shoulder pads are back… cream “two-piecers” are not.
We came across a super chic fashion designer from Los Angeles on lookbook.nu, that puts the “Ohhh” in office chic.
Check out her page on lookbook, and her blog.

She’s rockin those styles like…
We’re all in agreement here, that Rihanna’s super sexy styles have surpassed the average 21 year old pop star in Hollywood right now. Rockin torn acid wash jeans with Christian Louboutin shoes, makes this maven eye catching. Her beauty–her soft flawless skin, with neutral eye makeup and pop-red lipstick give her classic look pizzaz.
Short styles, were so a thing of the 80s and early 90s, but with this twenty something rocking it short, its no wonder fashionistas everywhere are becoming one with the scissors this season.

Preggo-for the first time Gisele sports a peasant top, short shorts, an oversized scarf and a pair of aviators– love.

Joe Bow
If you have a mini mouse complex– this trend isnt for you. Seen on the runway of Louis Vuitton and Betsy Johnson, is the hair bow. Once loved by the “tea party” in all of us, this trend has, like many others, resurfaced. Not just your typical hair bow, but all sizes from medium to super large, almost cartoon like bows are in this fall’s collections. Sport them either at the top of your head, or shifted to the side, to accent your neon blue leggings this fall.

FALL 2009 STYLE WATCH
Pep- What?
And no, it’s not a member of the aardvark family. Hitting the Fall 2009 runway is the disappearing-reemerging, then disappearing again, Peplum jacket. So what is it you ask?
We’re so glad your intrigued. It pretty much looks like a jacket with a skirt sewed onto the bottom.
History Lesson 101: Grab your Trapper-Keepers
Historically crafted during the early 19th century this jacket can be described as a short overskirt that is usually attached to a fitted jacket.
In the 1940’s the early peplum was usually not attached to a jacket, but was merely an extra overskirt flounce sewn onto, and dropping from the waist. The most current peplum, that we’ve all grown to love, became popular as a design in women ‘
s wear fashion.
The Fading Peplum:
In the 1950s the peplum began to fade away from the fashion scene into the fashion world’s equivalent of Florida. But, sure enough, just like Tupac, the peplum reemerged in the late 80s and early 90s. Although this time they were equipped with the “ever-so-loved”
shoulder pads , its safe to say the year 2000 changed its course entirely
In 2000 instead of being a long overskirt, the peplum was designed to just cover the mid stomach.
