Find your best motorcycle jacket

The leather motorcycle jacket is the height of cool -- yet iconic enough to never go out of style. Not sure what how to wear it? Choose the right cut and mix it up with softer basics to avoid looking too young or too Harley.


How to wear it:
Olivia Wilde lookin' sharp -- and super-feminine.

Find your perfect shape: A jacket with a diagonal zipper (1) is great for a tummy: The slanted line slims the waist. Look for a up-and-down zip (2) if you're busty--it'll streamline you. A cascade front (3) is ideal for boyish bodies because it creates the illusion of curves.

Pair it with a turtleneck
Add in jeans and you've got your new default look for going out, a ball game, brunch with the ladies--anything.

Pair it with preppy stuff
The Jacket's tough-girl vibe gives an oxford shirt and a plaid skirt a fresh, contemporary look.

Pair it with a floaty dress
It's sleek enough to balance even the swirliest, girliest print.

If you want: Room through the arms
Knit panels give you plenty of space. Express, $118

If you want curves: Curves at the waist

Flattering Jeans for Every Body

Fall is almost here and now is the time for a new pair of jeans. Here is a guide to help you find the right cut of denim for you!!!!

Bonus: Great Finds and Great Prices :)

 

 

Very curvy + short legs: A slim cut--plus special fabric made to keep its shape--smooths and lengthens.

Yummie, $98

Wide hips + a flat rear: This slightly looser fit accommodates a fuller middle while a mid-rise helps them stay put.

Lucky Brand, $99 (love the wash)

Plus-size + full hips and waist: The stretchy waistband won't dig into you, and the boot cut makes hips seem narrow.

Old Navy, $29.50 (lots of washes)

A classic pear shape: Stretchy and lower cut, these give hips space but don't gap at the waist.

Kmart, $19.99 (steal!)

Very tall + bubble butt: The thin fabric accommodates a big rear, while the length is ideal for tall bodies.

Uniqlo, $39.90

Tummy pooch + skinny legs: For an older woman, the high rise and slim, cropped legs are modest yet cool.

Coldwater Creek, $79.95

Very curvy + a bubble butt: Ideal for extra-womanly figures, with a contoured waist and forgiving stretch fabric.

Ann Taylor, $89

 

 

Tummy Pooch + flat rear: A high rise prevents these from slipping down and slims the tummy.

Foreign Exchange, $39 (awesome!)

 

 

Petite + boyish all over: Stretchy and slim, these are brilliantly proportioned for small frames.

Jessica Simpson @ Macy's, $59 (favorite!)

 

 

Stocky middle + skinny legs: Light, stretchy material hugs legs while a higher rise carves out a waist.

Jordache @ Walmart, $16.94

 

 

Classic apple shape: An elastic waist nixes muffin top, and legs are roomy but not baggy.

Riders @ Walmart, $19.94 (another steal!)

 

 

Plus size + very tall: Made of a super-soft denim, these don't squeeze and are extra-long!

CJ @ Nordstrom, $148

 

 

Worth the Splurge!

Once you get past the fact that NYDJ stands for "not your daughter's jeans," you'll find that babies look amazing whether you're 22 and single or 52 with grandkids. With patented technology that slims you a whole size, they're a favorite for a really, really good reason.

NYDJ @ Nordstrom, $120 (LOVE!)

 

 

 

 

Good luck shoppers and Happy Fall!!!





7 Ladylike Fall Styles

Add polish to your work and weekend wardrobe with these feminine picks

1. Danielle Nicole Adeline Satchel- Nordstrom, $98

A stunning carryall in deep green faux leather is practical for everyday, thanks to its roomy size. Luxe details, like gold-tone hardware and faux-alligator accents, make it look more expensive than it is.

2. Loft Pamela Scalloped Mary Jane Pumps- loft.com, $89

Sweet scalloped edges revamp the Mary Jane silhouette in leg-lengthening nude suede. The heels are four inches but padded footbeds add comfort

An otherwise conservative polyester pencil skirt becomes cocktail appropriate with the addition of a cascading side ruffle.

4. Chloe + Isabel Starburst Earrings- chloeandisabel.com, $38

Star-shaped crystal drops packs a punch, but they aren't too overwhelming for daytime.

5. Jessica Simpson Textured Cap Sleeve Tweed Fit & Flare Dress- Nordstrom, $138

This delightfully twirly number is flattering for all shapes: The contoured panels along the sides create the illusion of a trimmer figure and the A-line shape hides a multitude of sins.

6. Ted Baker London Timeless Romantic Blouse- Nordstrom, $180

A moody watercolor of dark-toned flowers ensures this polyester blouse goes nicely with everything from navy and plum to gray and brown.

7. Ann Taylor Pleated Peplum Top- $98

Versatile enough for the office or date night, this polyester top features knife pleats, a flirty peplum, and sheer insets to add unexpected sophistication to a work skirt or dark jeans.

Fall's Top 5 Trends

From new takes on punk to over-the-top outerwear, these five gorgeous (and wearable) trends are the ones to invest in this season.

BLACK & WHITE

Paired with the elevating effects of color blocking, black and white dressing made an on-point presence at a number of fall shows. From its incorporation on clean, sporty outfitting to livening up luxe textures the outcome was next level. A trend with bi-seasonal potential, I coin the 'black and white' look as the most versatile yet.

Mixing edgy elements like spikes, studs and leather with the prettifying powers of feminine frocks, sky-high heels and sexy silhouettes resulted in a range of versatile looks fit for every woman. Curate your own catwalk-inspired style from grunge days and rebel against a girly getup with a punk inspired accessory...or three!

SEEING GREEN

Monochromatic dressing is back and more gorgeous than ever. Amidst a sea of head-to-toe looks of muted grays and navy blues, deep olives and emerald greens graced the runways. The rich hue serves as a sleek and sexy way to elevate your ensemble in a fresh, on-trend fashion. Go green all over in this timeless tone or incorporate the look in accessory form; doing so is assured to leave your friends envious.

OVER-THE-TOP OUTERWEAR

Make a bold statement this fall by giving your monochromatic outerwear a rest and opt to warm up in a printed or patterned piece instead! From loud florals to fresh, funky motifs, the runways were stocked with a surplus of cool coats. Pair an outrageously-chic outerwear option with an understated ensemble and voila, you'll yield catwalk-cool potential.
