No problem!
I stumbled upon this at Real Simple. Looks like even the fashion un aware and un interested are getting a dose of useful advice! It's old hat to most of us, but wise words to its less fashion oriented audience http://www.realsimple.com/beau.....index.html

This article is mainly about music but I can see how it applies to fashion trends.

Anna, I found that too funny. Talk about the idea of 'trying too hard'! The idea that my fave band will no longer be my fave if my friends now like them too is very odd to me. Sounds very UNhip to have to search for ever more obscure things to seal your cool identity, no? Interesting . . .

I really enjoyed Cynthia's post about how to pose in a flattering (and natural!) manner for WIW photos. I like that she not only provides detailed descriptions of how to pose but also gives explanations for WHY these poses work. I am trying to work her tips into not only my WIW photo sessions but also my everyday life to improve my admittedly poor posture.

I don't really know who Lauren Bush is, but her lovely long-sleeved wedding gown made me think of the beautiful wedding photos our own Laura posted in the forum recently. I really hope wedding gowns with actual tops and sleeves make a comeback!

Warning, this is very picture heavy. But lovers of stripes will feel inspired!

Found this link on ViviennesFile. This definitely takes the boring out of classic! It has reinforced to me the importance of fit, colors (your most flattering), and proportions --- and not chasing the latest trend if it doesn't suit you.

The Wall Street Journal sometimes has some fun reads. I enjoyed The Tyranny of the Belt for why women wear belts.

If you missed the Golden Globes this past Sunday, Harper's Bazaar has a slideshow of the red carpet fashions:

(p.s. to MK, I'm pretty sure model Lauren Bush is the niece of George W. Bush)

What do you think of actors on the catwalk?
I adore Tim Roth and Gary Oldman, so I very much enjoyed the Prada menswear show (Fall 2012) where both actors and a few other famous gents made an appearance.

I've got two this week!

This one is about packing light. The video is nice, but she didn't go as in depth into her packing strategy as I had hoped: http://www.fabulouslybroke.com.....of-packing

This one is about the power of being confident, well dressed, and having good table manners: http://cupcakecaramel.blogspot.....ay-44.html

I had no idea that sneakers came from "sneaky" soles.

Fantastic, ladies!

Joy, unfortunately I can't post the article from the WSJ because it requires a subscription.

I'll choose the post above; I loved her entire blog as it inspired me to dress my best without driving me into a frenzy of shopping -- an impulse that has been getting the best of me lately!

I don't know if I'll brave the crowds for Jason Wu's collection at Target, but there are many lovely items up for grabs! SQUEE!
