FASHION ICON FOR THE WEEK

Dear Diary...Rachel Zoe- originally started her fashion career working with magazines, styling teen pop stars for YM in the ‘90s. She later began a freelance career and began working with Richie.

2010 Crave Trends.

Knee High Socks and Over the Knee Socks.

Knee high socks - as well as over-the-knee and thigh high socks - are back as a trend, and the options on how to wear them are many. From the sporty to the sparkly, to layerings of socks over tights; a great pair of socks can add volumes to an outfit.
Patterned and Printed Pants

No longer must we stick to boring block colours on our lower half, for all varieties of printed pants have made their way onto the Spring runways. Whether floral, striped, abstract, bold or subdued... patterns on pants are giving us new bold wardrobe options for the warmer months.
Future Warrior

The military and tribal trends collide to become this fierce fashion trend. Ancient civilisations come to life in leather tunics, metal plating, and war paint. Unequivocally fearless and with room for endless creativity, the main criteria for the modern warrior is confidence.
Hot pants

If ever there was a time to hit the gym, it's this Spring. Hemlines have crept up to shorter than short; in fact reaching the negative. Hot pants, boy shorts, and tap pants are all variations on this shorter-than-short style, which in many cases reveal more than just one's legs.
High Dress Split

How to pull off the ultimate in sexy without reaching for the micro-mini? Add a long dress with a high split to your Spring wardrobe. From Versace's knock-out gowns to Lanvin's elegantly draping numbers, we look at numerous ways to rock a high dress split.
Jumpsuits and Playsuits

Every so often, one-piece styles of clothing have a revival. What started with bodysuits and leotards is now becoming a fully-fledged trend towards jumpsuits, playsuits, and rompers. As a unique style for Spring 2010, they won't be for everyone, but they will offer more options than you'd think.

Causal Chic.

Casual chic is a combination of casual and fashionable dress. The term describes a type of dress code that is comfortable, but also stylish and fashion-forward. The casual half of "casual chic" embodies clothing that is traditionally comfortable, like jeans, cotton or khaki pants, and flowing dresses; the chic half embodies precision tailoring, bright colors and a few feminine details and accessories to bring a touch of class and sophistication.

Fashion Icon of the Week...

Dear Diary,

Following up on our Fashion Icon of the Week segment we have (drum roll, please) Victoria Beckham! The former spice girl is a fashion force to be reckoned with. She has just created a new line of denim that is “stamped with an urban cool attitude.” They are a slim-fitting skinny, with its very own desirable style. Her signature “V” is featured on each back pocket. They come in a variety of washes from fresh ice blue to stone gray and charcoal. The fashionista says,” No stylish wardrobe is complete without a great pair of jeans that you can wear everywhere, they’re an absolute must have for the contemporary fashion lover and they’re definitely a foundation piece in my wardrobe.”

As Fashion Recovers

Dear Diary... As We Begin We Must First Start With The Recovery Of Beings.Because Fashion is more then life its self!!!

Fashion Icon of the Week...

Dear Diary,

What better way to pay homage to the ones who rule the fashion industry than a "Fashion Icon of the Week" segment. What better way to start this segment off than celebrity stylist/designer and author, June Ambrose. Though she started her career working at an investment banking firm, she landed an internship through a friend at Uptown MCA Records. There she became a fashion stylist. Since then, she’s worked with everyone in hip hop and has brought high fashion and luxury looks to an industry profiled as low-budget and street. She has styled for artists like Missy Elliot, P. Diddy, Jay Z, Hype Williams, Busta Rhymes just to name a few. Through her countless accomplishments, New York Magazine has dubbed her a modern-day hip hop Holly Golightly. Her website, juneambrose.com put it best, “Ambrose has left an indelible mark on today’s youth, inspiring countless trends and major fashion statements.” Now owner of her own full-service styling firm Mode Squad, Inc., she says,” Fashion is about self-expression and also a statement about our times”. Spoken like a true fashionista; I couldn’t agree more. There’s no doubt why the Joli team has chosen her as their Fashion Muse. Don't forget to check out her book entitled "EFFORTLESS STYLE".
