    Vintage Fashionistas Cheer For Pink And Orange!

    You don't need to be a genius to determine that I am not a big fan of pink, based on a quick peek into my closet. Or orange, for that matter. So it's hard for me to explain why I squeal with delight when I see these two colors together. I guess sometimes what seems like two fashion wrongs can actually make a big fashion right! And lots of folks agree. Like Jonathan Adler, for instance, who believes there's no better way to banish the blues than with this bright color combination. Or Alexander Girard and so many other designers in the 1960s who married these two tangy shades in home decor and advertising as well as in fashion. Today's slideshow features some outstanding vintage examples of this zesty color pairing, which is like putting on an instant good mood (or enjoying a nice big scoop of rainbow sherbet). Who can possibly stay dreary while wearing something this bright and cheery? Click the slideshow to get inspired!

Not sure how you should cover-up in the latter half of summer? Let the fates be your guide!

    Effortlessly fashionable Angelina Jolie has been seen numerous times toting her kids and traveling all around in a luxurious Gerard Darel maxi dress. Darel's designs are feminine and classic with just a twist of vintage quirk thrown in. Angelina's favorite seems to be the cocoa brown, strapless "Angel" maxi featured here, but has also been seen in black versions and ones with straps. Even little Zahara gets her fashion wings early in her own lavender Gerard Darel top! With his use of luxurious fabrics and fluid silhouettes that show just enough of your decolletage and shoulders, Darel's dresses are the perfect summer piece for sophisticated and comfortable elegance. Want one just like Angie's? The dresses retail for $548 and are available at select Bloomingdale's stores!

    Change Last Year's Trendy Maxi Dress To This Season's Mini ...

    Summer 2008 was the summer of the maxi dress, sweet and long, with a full, feminine skirt, and sometimes with a naughty plunging neckline. This dress was on the runways, on celebrities, and in stores everywhere from cheapies at Forever 21 to high-end Donna Karan. I have to admit that I also had a summer maxi dress, one that I nabbed from H&M for a mere $12.90! But now what's a gal to do in summer 2009 when flirty, short skirts and mini dresses are the new trend? Like any budget-minded crafty girl, I'm ready to take to the scissors and sewing machine. This alteration draws inspiration from the spring 2009 runway shows of Anna Sui, BCBG Max Azria, and Marc by Marc Jacobs. These little dresses are so perfect to wear with a belt or under cropped cardigans and shirts. To convert our maxi, we're going to use a technique called draping. For this project, you will need either a dress form or a friend to wear your dress while you drape or reposition the skirt and pin it into place. Put on your designer's cap for a bit as you move the dress to design the best skirt shape for you!

    Back in the day, the 1970s signaled the emergence of musical talents like Patti Smith, David Bowie, and the Sex Pistols. These days, we're seeing the decade in another light- it's a great source of fashion inspiration for this year's Halloween costume! The fashion and style of the 70s suit every style from mini dresses to maxi dresses and even jumpsuits! Since this decade's made a huge comeback in the past few years, you probably already have a few 70s-inspired pieces of clothing for your Halloween look. If not, scouring your local vintage stores is sure to turn up some great items. Look for lots of ethnic inspired prints, paisley, long and loose caftans and tunics, and turquoise jewelry. For DIYers, look into the archives of famed fashion houses such as Halston, Givenchy, and Yves Saint Laurent, watch old episodes of Charlie's Angels or find vintage dress patterns to start your creations. And for those less talented with a needle and thread, check out my SLIDESHOW for ideas that will have you stepping back in time (in platforms, of course).
