Cute Denim Outfit Ideas. Culled from Glamour magazine

Runway shows happen once a season. But on the street, it’s showtime 365 days a year! Take style cues from these trendsetting fashion bloggers, who snapped themselves in their favorite denim looks. Here is the line up.

Denni Elias: The Vintage Take On Denim

 “Wide-legged denim pants looked perfect a few decades ago, and I think they look even better now.” said Paris-based blogger Denni Elias. Though the jeans were brand new, Denni kept the vintage inspiration intact (“I found this beautiful Chloé shirt at my favorite vintage store in Paris.”) proving that timeworn pieces, whether authentic or not, are also a chic direction for denim.

Emily Schuman: The Clean-Lines Denim Look

New York-based blogger, Emily Schuman, recommends keeping things clean and classic with a dramatic jean: “With these high-waisted jeans, I keep other details simple. I have a thing for stripes! They add a fun, nautical vibe.” And the accessories should follow suit. On why she chose to finish the look with her Mulberry bag, she says: “it’s timeless but with a current feel.”

Gabi Gregg: The Layered, Non-Denim Denim Look

For a little less cowboy-factor, New York-based blogger Gabi Gregg starts her denim look with a super dark skinny jean and then layers it up with pretty, eye-catching pieces. She says: “I love the effect of layering a sheer top and toughening it up with my favorite faux-leather jacket. Platform wedges add height minus the pain of heels.” Denim, what denim?

Tamu McPherson: The Double Denim Done Right

Paris-based blogger Tamu McPherson’s love for denim inspires her to go all the way with it, “I’m a big proponent of double denim. It’s my everyday look—my uniform.” Want a foolproof styling tip? Fierce footwear is the secret style weapon that makes double denim work day in and day out: “Shoes are my fashion weakness, and I am a huge fan of the works of art that Mr. Pilati creates for YSL.”

Susie Lau: The Fanciful Denim Skirt

No longer reserved for Ugg boots and cotton tanks, the denim skirt is masterfully styled by London-based blogger Susie Lau, who told us “I like to play with different textures and prints. I’m usually challenged by denim, but this Junya Watanabe skirt fit into what is my normal style.” Susie, your normal style oh-so-inspiring, girl! The takeaway: Don’t let a casual fabric like denim prevent you from mixing it up with texture, pattern and color.

Helooooooooooo!!!

Well, well well look what the fashion police dragged in. I am sure that is what you are thinking, but people please forgive my lack activity. The year 2011 has been a busy and hectic one for me. I open my first store, launched my jewelry line, opened an online version of my store and am about to expand into other areas. I also want to apologize to everyone who left me a comment and got no reply, I am so sorry.

Now that we are done with all the grovelling and begging, lets get on to what makes each of us unique; our sense of style. The new fall season collections are about to be debuting worldwide and we all want to be on top of things so as not to be fashion drags. According to all major fashion magazine it is all about the long, dark, spoty scot.

One thing to have in mind when striving for a spectacular fashion trend debut is that too much is always overkill. Best way to survive each new fashion trends and season is to learn the art of the 3M. That is Mix, Mash and Mesh. All trends are not meant for everyone, and not everyone is made for a particular trend. So to be the best trendy fashion icon that you can be, mix, mash and mesh your favorite trends with your existing style, not only is it a great unique sense of style but also frugal.

HAPPY NEW YEAR!

This is my first post for this year and would like to say Happy New Year to all my visitors. As we go into the new year with all our resolutions and what not, let us not do things that set us up for failure. The economy is slowly but surely reviving, but till it does have great fashion for less is still fashionable. Even celebrities cut down spending.

On to a more fun part, the latest trends for 2011are here. Most Fashion magazines are agog with the latest trends, designers are debuting there new season collections and what not. We just finished enjoying London fashion week and waiting for more, we are looking forward to the Awards of the year to see what our favorite stars will grace the red carpet with. All these we do because we aspire to emulate the unquestionable good fashion sense, right?

We have all probably read one fashion magazine or the other and know what the trending colors and styles are. In all of that we should not forget that 'yes it is good to be fashionably forward' but not everyone is made the same, so some people might not be able to pull of the trends and styles of a particular season. So what to do?

When any new trend arises, the best thing is to pick some of your best existing outfits and go to your favorite shopping spot (where you get all the fabulous discounts, of up to 70% off ) and mash and blend your existing wardrobe with the new trends and styles. Never do all the new trends in one outfit! Also you do not have to adopt all the new trends, just the ones you feel comfortable with or can mesh with you existing wardrobe.

So to all my fashionistas out there have a fashion forward year!
