A chic peek at Pencey’s Fall 2011 footwear collection

This best-dressed reader’s style is adorable retro (see: peter-pan collar, ladylike skirt) but the coolest part about her whole look is that she’s carrying a vintage suitcase. Chicest purse ever. Get the details on her outfit »

Mixing a selection from the Spring/summer 2011 collection and vintage archive pieces from the Museum of London, AnOther Magazine’s fashion editor Agata Belcen and filmmaker Quentin Jones, worked together on this beautiful ‘Time Machine‘ video where pieces were brought to life with surreal animation, including collage techniques using archive fabrics and key motifs referencing the print trend of s/s 11 collections.

Thunderbox F/W ‘11

if you’ve been waiting on pins and needles for the eddie borgo for j.crew collection to launch as i have, then you’ll be excited to know that…drum roll, please…it launched today. this section of j.crew’s site is a bit difficult to navigate, but click around and you’ll eventually get to the product of your choice (vague).

what most interested me about this particular diffusion line was its lower price-point; borgo is known to be a bit expensive. these limited-edition pieces range in price from $38 for a studded bow pin to a $175 fringed mesh pocket necklace.

At the CFDA awards last week Jenna Lyons showed up wearing a mix of classic (crisp white Celine blouse), quirky (neon sequined pencil skirt from J.Crew bridal), and drool-worthy (Isabel Marant pointy-toe pumps).To some, this might sound overwhelming, but trust us when we say she worked the look with aplomb.

While I think shortening the original slightly would have made for an adorable party dress and the short front/long back (AKA “mullet” hem) is in right now, I think the modification is just a little off—just a little too short in the front. I would have liked it much better with a couple more inches in front. What do you think?

Ideal Tops and Accessories That Goes Perfectly with Skinny Jeans

Skinny jeans are one of the biggest crazes among women of all ages. For a lot of them, a great pair of skinny jeans can greatly accentuate the positive features of your body as it conceals the imperfections that you want to cover up or somehow make less noticeable. Although, it is true that this pair of jeans cannot be a replacement for a great-looking physique as a result of regular workouts, pairing it with nice looking and suitable tops and fashion accessories can create a really charming and glamorous appeal.

Indeed, you are absolutely right when you say that women with slim figures have an edge over full-figured women, especially if you are talking about wearing skinny jeans. However, this does not mean that you are left out in fashion and you can never wear this nice pair of jeans most women are dreaming to wear with glamour. All you need to do is choose the right size and pick out those with darker shades and you can walk with pride wearing this denim. One thing that you should always keep in mind when choosing skinny jeans is to wear one that is not too skinny. It is also important that you research and try to find out what looks best with your skinny jeans.

If you are not dreaming of getting that naughty smile when others see you wearing skinny jeans, you should never think about pairing with sports shoes. For a more appealing look, it would be better to wear yellow or royal blue wedges with a dark blue skinny. If you are going to a party, stilettos or boots with heels would be great. It will not only elongate your torso but also provide slimmer look for full-figure women.

Since this article is talking about full figure women who want to find out how to look nice and comfortable as well as stylishly smart when wearing skinny jeans, a long top would be ideal to create a slim illusion. If you are curvy or chubby, make sure that you wear a top that covers your behind (bum) to the hip area. Do not attempt to pair with a skinny or extremely body-hugging top or you would end up looking like a sausage wrapped in bacon.

When choosing the right tops to go with these stylish jeans, it would be sensible and fabulous if you go for classy and elegant looking shirts or blouses to pull off a really elegant panache. It would be nice to complete the outfit with the right fashion accessories like a bright and flamboyant belt, attractive jewelry pieces and huge but not too colourful and glitzy bags. It could be a handbag, a big one is perfect.

As things are going, it seems like the skinny jeans craze will stay for a long time. Thus, it is important that you know how to make yourself  look good and attractive when wearing this nice pair of jeans even if you are on the heavy side. Just learn the dos and do not’s by heart and you can certainly walk smartly wearing those skinny jeans.
