Boy Shorts Bring Sexy Back

Get yourself some of the most sexy and comfortable undies around, the Hanes Perfect Panties Boy Shorts ($9). These babies let you move around freely, they don't ride up, and you won't have any panty lines. Seriously ladies, total comfort and men think they are sexy! Get the assorted fashion ones where you get pink and a pink stripe variation in the 2 pack.

Happy Valentine's Day!

Here's the lovely Rita Hayworth with a big o' box of chocolates for you! Have a Happy Valentine's Day! I'm making a special dinner tonight for my husband, although nothing too fancy because I didn't plan far ahead enough at the grocery store. You think stuffed pasta shells can be fancy enough? I'll do my best. My friend Olivia works at Chow.com and showed me this Love Menu that makes me drool.

Go from High Heels to Flats in Seconds

Gizmodo reports on Footloose, an adjustable pair of high heel soles that with a simple switch will turn your them into flats. This project was designed by Marte den Hollander of the Faculty of Industrial Design where she won "Best Graduate of 2006".

Can you imagine? No more tired feet. Walk all day in flats and switch them back up high for dinner and a night out! I'm hoping these babies get picked up by the likes of Manolo Blahnik and Jimmy Choo soon!

Jumpers at Fred Flare

I'm totally into jumpers these days and it looks like Fred Flare has the jackpot in cute jumpers. This one is my favorite, the Suzie Q plaid jumper ($44). So cute!

Here's more picks:

Red Trapeze Dress ($40)

Jump Around Jumper ($44)
Get one in blue or brown. I love the big buttons.

Factory Girl Striped Dress ($40)
Just like Sienna...

1920's Come Alive at Marc Jacobs

Thank you Marc Jacobs for bringing back the classic style of the 1920's complete wth hats. The colors were vivid in bright hues such as yellow, blues, and reds that were paired with basic black or grey.

Anyone noticed the tailored pants? Yes, tailored pants are back. Nice touch of a cream suit for Fall.

Every so stylish in black with red accents.

Love the print on this dress!

This dress is very cute. I love the color blocking.

Wenlan Chia brings Boho Chic to Twinkle

by Diana Eng, fashion week guest blogger

Welcome to NYC fashion week in the tents where Twinkle has hung super cute acrylic mobiles above their runway.

At Twinkle, it’s all about mix and match and layering.  Throw a jacket, shirt or oversized knit on over a dress. Cinch it in with a belt.  Layer up the necklaces.  And don’t forget the knit hat, which is making its appearance everywhere this fashion week (DKNY, Lela Rose, to name a couple).  Designers often use styling and accessories to tie a collection together.  Hence, everyone has windswept hair, similar makeup, knit hat, and colored stockings.

Front and back view
I love the construction on this jacket!
