STYLE TIP: COLD FEETSo it's feeling a bit cooler outside and you still don't know what's going on past the hem of your skinny jeans. Face it, Cleopatra sandals won't work forever. It's time to resolve those shoe issues with a couple of helpful hints from the style gurus. The conundrum began when denim manufacturers decided a jean that's too long can be hemmed but a jean that is too short won't be bought. My once jean-less tall friends are giddy with delight at this new lengthy phenomenon, while 5' sixers like me are heading to the tailor in droves. But doesn't that leg warmer-esque bunch of denim look kinda cool? Yes, it's true, Nicole Richie and other shorties have been striking chic poses in a slouch of denim at the ankle. Here's the answer: Have your skinny jeans hemmed in your tallest pair of heels. This way you won't be dragging around yards of fabric in you flats but your denim will still look fierce for a night out. Venn diagram what? If the "skinny" in skinny jeans is still making you nervous, consider balancing out the hip region with a sexy boot. A delicious boot with a sexy heel will add height and lengthen legs. Slender denim will also tuck effortlessly into a riding boot for a super-comfortable combination. Also try a slouchy ankle boot for the same proportional effect. Remember, layering is key this winter; try sporting soft knit socks in a sexy pump, or eighties it up with dancer accoutrements like legwarmers (they're baaack). Some looks to keep in mind while styling your feet: the ballerina, equestrian, and Studio 54 will keep your best foot forward. |

CELEBRITY STYLE BLOG: MY HEART IS HAPPY AGAIN!At long last, the day has arrived. The feud that has torn the world apart is finally over. No, I'm not referring to North and South Korea, I'm obviously talking about Paris and Nicole! The long-feuding friends have finally decided to bury the hatchet and become BFF's again. While they still won't reveal to the world the cause of their original falling out and how they reconciled (duh, that's what the next season of Simple Life is for!), all that matters is the girls are back. I mean, what is a world without Paris and Nicole being sidekicks? I'm sure many would say a much better place, but all I know is that this just seems right. If Paris and Nicole can make it work, who's to rule out the possibility of world peace?? Boppin' to Guy's on October 10th with Linds, Nicole looked happy to have finally brought the It Girl superpowers together again. In a pair of dark gray skinnies, like our Hudson Supermodel Straight Leg Jeans in Smoke, and a sheer buttoned top with ties, like the gray version of our Gold Hawk Dotted Shirt, Nicole was working her new longer, strawberry 'do. I still prefer the blonde bob, but Nic is so adorable that she can pull anything off. Accessorize the look with a delicate necklace, like our Jewel By Bear Gold Cizi and Charm Drop Necklace, and about a thousand bracelets, and you've got Nic's look down. Next stop.. Paris' house for a sleepover! |
