Blog #3 PLATITUDE

As I walk around on the college campus of Kean University there was one trend that was undeniably visible.  I didn't have to walk around to much to notice three young ladies all in the same area wearing their fashionable version of plaid!  This young lady paired her plaid with some jeans which seems to be a favorite pairing among plaid fashionistas.

Shortly after I saw another girl lounging around with her plaid book bag waiting for her next class to start.by   It was very similar in color to the shirt in the picture above.  She was more than happy to pose for the camera.

Shorthly after I ran into another young lady with a plaid hat on .  The color was brown and beige.

Celebrities Wearing Plaid

We all know that a lotof the fashion we wear trickles up from the streets and especially when we see celebrities wearing it . Here is Vanessa Hudgens wearing a loose plaid shirt as a dress.  A little to short for my taste. Who knows maybe she has some shorts under there.

Lola's Pick of the Week

I am not a big fan of plaid.  So I couldn't take a picture of myself or Suki wearing my favorite plaid piece. However if I owned anything plaid it would be something like this.  I would definitely dress it up.

Blog #2 Trending This Fall: Feathers!



There were so many exciting trends this Fall!  The key item I chose for this Fall is feathers!  Feathers are making their debut everywhere you turn.  You can see them in dresses, on accessories, shoes, jewelry, and even as hair extensions!  Feathers are trendng in exciting bold colors and in all sizes and styles. The possibilities are endless.  The feather trend has been going strong since last year, but seems to be more prominant this Fall.  There is however much debate on whether feathers are a  fashion faux pau or not.  Feathers in fashion can be tricky but if done tastefully feathers can be fabulous!

Feather Extensions

Women, teens, and young girls are all about the feather hair extensions.  These feather extensions can be braided or attached with a bead to a strand of your hair.  The feathers can be worn for   about three to four months.  You can style your hair as usual because the feathers can be washed, flat ironed and blown dry.  Check out Nicole Scherzinger's feather hair extension.
