Fashion Inspired: Halloween (the movie)

by

Via our friends at lollieshopping.com:

I love film. I love getting my fashion inspiration from film. I love horror. And, I love Halloween. So, it should be no surprise that this year’s Halloween post is inspired by the horror film “Halloween” (the original version). Below are my favorite looks from this creepy flick along with some suggested modern-day pieces inspired by “Halloween.”

Nothing says you’re about to be killed like a 1960s schoolgirl outfit! Poor Michaels’s sister. She was pretty stylish before her little brother stabbed her.

Inspired by Michael’s sister:

Women’s Satin-Trim Cardigans
$29.50 at Old Navy

Kenneth Cole New York Plaid Swing Skirt
$89.00 by Kenneth Cole at Nordstrom

How dapper is Dr. Loomis in his corduroy suit and fedora? In the 21st century, I recommend wearing the corduroy jacket with a pair of jeans or khakis.

Inspired by Dr. Loomis:

Corduroy workwear sport coat
$158.00 at J.Crew

MARIO D’ANNA Cashmere sweater
$125.00 at Yoox

Tweed Fedora
$52.99 at London Fog

Check out these sassy 1970s high school jail-bait girls. They’re cracking sexual jokes and smoking a cigarette. It’s like they’re just begging to be murdered. What I love is the way Laurie’s friends do a tone-on-tone paired with denim, while Laurie keeps her cardigan and floral skirt in the same color scheme but breaks them apart with a green turtleneck.

Inspired by Laurie and friends:

Unisex Satin Charmeuse Night Jacket
$45.00 at American Apparel

Plunging v-neck tee
$19.50$15.50 at Victoria’s Secret

Women’s Mossimo Link Belt – Green
$14.99 by Mossimo at Target

Tyler Vest

Ralph Lauren Blue Label Essential Solid Oxford

LC Lauren Conrad Striped Boyfriend Cardigan

Floral Chiffon Skirt
$18.99 at Charlotte Russe

Sonoma Life + Style® Cable-Knit Turtleneck
$30.00$12.99 at Kohl’s

Of course, my favorite “Halloween” look is Laurie’s babysitting outfit: high-waisted jeans, a simple blue button down shirt and a black sweater. Effortless chic. That is, until Michael showed up.

Inspired by Laurie:

V-Neck Sweater
$29.95 at New York & Co.

Classic Pocket Woven Shirt
$14.80 at Forever 21

Jeanology® Stretch high-waist wide-leg jean
$49.00$39.00 at Newport News

FTC Guidelines for Bloggers

by

Now that the FTC has officially come out with the guidelines for bloggers (set to go in effect December 1st, 2009), there has been quite a bit of talk circulating around the blogosphere; the Independent Fashion Bloggers have dedicated two articles to the subject (FTC Puts Its Foot Down on Blogger Freebies FTC Ruling: An Ethical Double Standard?) and Fashion Pulse Daily is curious as to what the readers think of all of this. Our motto has always been that transparency is best, and if we get something for free and write about, you will most certainly know that! We feel that pretty much all of the reputable blogs that we read and work with execute the same practices, but enough about us: what do you think about the FTC ruling?

Punch It Up with the Perfect Poncho

by

From our friends at thefind.com:

knit-ponchos

Ponchos are making an appearance again this fall in the form of chunky knits. Think handmade, warm and cozy. Many are a fusion of sweater and poncho that button up the front, making them easier to layer. You’ll see hoods, pockets and zippers as added features as well. Look for all wool styles made with thick yarns and lots of texture in the knitted design. Or try a lighter poncho on for size; it is more like a wrap and much more fluid than chunkier styles. Go for a neutral like gray or brown that can be paired with a variety of items in your wardrobe.

On the chunkier side, from Haute Hippie is the Chunky Wool Poncho (top left, $495.00 at Nordstrom.com) with classic overtones and a cable-knit design. It has a full zip-front closure, pockets to keep your hands warm and a slouchy hood at the back. From Stella McCartney is a pricey and luxe Zip-Front Boucle Poncho (top right, $1,685 at Neiman Marcus) with oversized buttons button as an accent on the cape sleeves. The poncho is an Alpaca/linen/polyamide/wool blend and made in Italy. Helmut Lang has also done a version, all in a minimalist style of course! Helmut Lang Knit Poncho (bottom right, $260 at Saks.com) is an alpaca/merino/polyamide blend and is super soft as well as warm. This poncho also features a generous hood.  From Elizabeth and James is the Olivia Poncho, (bottom left, $545 at Shopbop.com) made of moleskin this is the perfect piece for layering. Pair with a cozy cashmere turtleneck and jeans for a luxe weekend casual look.
