I love that black is so strong for Fall this year. I saw a ton of monochrome outfits on the runways this season and a common theme seemed to be all black outfits topped with sleeveless or cropped-sleeve outerwear.The color itself stands for power, mysteriousness and sensuality. Also, besides the psychological connotations of the color, there are also the visual effects. An all black outfit can be really chic…not to mention it is the best color to make you look thinner and taller.
A couple years ago, the stovepipe skinny pant was all the rage. Last year, a pair leather skinny jeans was Fall’s number one must-have item. This year, a large handful of designers are offering half leather and half jean leggings or stovepipe pants. I really like the combo…not just the way it looks but also the price! I love that designers are mixing denim and leather. I think it’s great because the price is half of what a pair of leather leggings cost and you can achieve the same look.
I have been wearing my nude Daffodile like crazy and have decided to buy them in blue suede for fall. My best advice to you would be to resist the temptation to buy clothing just because it’s on sale. Save your money and put it toward a few well-chosen pieces that will not date. The item will see you into autumn and can even be dusted off for next spring. I love to buy several good investment pieces every season and have them forever. Enjoy your weekend everyone!! xo Nini
I have been collecting vintage clothing and accessories for quite a few years now and this vintage Chanel skirt is one of my great eBay finds. eBay is a good source for all kinds of things at competitive prices. You just need to know your favorite labels when you’re shopping on eBay. When I go on eBay.com I always type in the same key words in the search box. Some of my favorite items to search for are: vintage YSL, vintage Chanel, vintage leather skirts, vintage Christian Lacroix, etc… When you find something you like be sure to look at seller’s feedback. Once you’ve made sure they have positive feedback you can go for it.
Recently, I purchased a fabulous mid-century modern lucite tray from eBay for $20.00. I typed in ‘mid century modern lucite tray.’ Try it and you will see all kind of goodies will pop up. Have fun shopping. xo Nini
