Studs (and there is nothing masculine about them!)

Whether you are a wild child or need to add some pizazz to an outfit, studded accessories are a great way to express your inner tough girl. Metallic details such as studs pair well with colors and neutrals, and chances are these accessories would get a lot of use so don't be afraid to splurge on an investment piece.

Studded shoes such as the Tory Burch stud ballet flats are a great example of fashion and function in unison. L.A. designer Dafne Balatsos has a line of gothic studded and spiked purses which are a tad pricy at around $800 each, but they are truly works of art. My favorite studded accessory is the Givency by Riccardo Tisci leather and metal studded headband. It definitely requires a lot of confidence and hair full of body to pull it off, and is a unique piece for an accessory lover.

If accessories with studs aren't for you, how about a studded leather jacket thrown over a cute dress or your favorite pair of jeans? Topshop's stud biker jacket is a very reasonable $115!

Bringing Back Wide Legs

After a few years with the skinny jean, it seems fashion is restoring to the 1970's by bringing back the wide leg jean. It seems that this spring season more and more of us will turn to wide-leg jeans, not as a substitute for skinnies, but as an addition to our denim collection.

If worn probably and with the correct upper half pairings wide-leg jeans can be both figure flattering and fashionable. Wide-leg jeans can be very easy to wear you just need to remember a few tricks.

First in order to counteract the bottom-heavy pant legs try pairing them with a fitted, tucked in blouse. And second since most wide-leg jeans are made with a higher waist becareful of the style and fit you choose because the wrong fit can result in a long bum appearance, and lets face it who really wants that? To avoid the long bum syndrome untuck your top and belt it up.

Spring is shaping up to be a great season, keep checking back here for more Spring fashion must haves.

Usher’s clothing line on hold

R & B sensation Usher is putting off the launch of his clothing line due to the economy. With people strapped for cash and Usher’s clothes not being cheap he doesn’t think it’s the right time.

“In this economy and with my style and attention to detail, my clothes won't come cheap. It's not the right time."

What do you think will make his clothing line different than any other star like Beyonce with House of Dereon or Nelly with the Apple Bottom line?

Let’s hope the wait is worth it!

One More Sleep!!

Alright fashion lovers, so you've opened your gifts and hopefully got everything you asked for. If not, it's ok because the Boxing Day Shopping is 1 sleep away!

This is the best time a year to get all the trendy stuff you wanted but didn't buy. Or... spoil yourself! You know those expensive stores you don't regularly shop in? or those amazing shoes that weren't in your budget? Well they are most likely on sale so get out there and get them!

Happy Shopping! Happy Holidays!
