Among the abundance of fashion and beauty looks experiencing a revival from the 90s and early 2000s are wide leg bottoms, and more specifically, flare and bell bottom styles. Perfect for the upcoming fall season, this leg-lengthening fit is sure to be flattering on anyone. Flare style, as opposed to bell bottoms, are less exaggerated and narrower in silhouette, making them ideal for a less bold, more casual look. To take the statement silhouette even further, many brands are offering high-low versions of the bell-bottom style. Check out Alice + Olivia’s version, featuring a high waist and ideal look for a day-to-night piece. For a bolder take on the same look, try Topshop’s Mermaid Frill Trousers.

In the denim department, staple pieces like the Citizens of Humanity Drew High Rise Crop jeans or Paige Denim’s High Rise Bell Canyon jeans will take you straight through the colder months in style.

Birthday Girl

by Julia DiNardo

My style today celebrates pieces both old and new, which altogether make me, me, on my special day. I’m always so grateful that I have a summer birthday, so that I can enjoy the best of my favorite season on my day (which is today!), and plan summer-oriented events, such as a trip to a local beach, riding bikes, and eating copious amounts of gelato during the weeks surrounding it. It’s hard not to reflect on the year that has just transpired and the one that lies ahead, hopeful for more ups than downs and goals, large and small, to be met in the next 364 days. Now…let’s celebrate!

Peplum Leather Jackets Add a Flirty Vibe to Your Fall Wardrobe! (thefind Guest Post)

by Julia DiNardo

From our fab friends at thefind.com

This fall is all about playing with contrasts. Edgy spikes on sophisticated pumps, bold printed coats over muted layers, jackets with contrasting sleeves, military-inspired layers over flouncy girly dresses, you name it – it’s time to experiment, mix and match, and combine all aspects of your personality and fashion sense towards one fashionable finished product! One of my favorite new examples of this is the peplum leather jacket. A wardrobe staple traditionally attributed to adding a little more moto-chic edge to your ensemble is getting the girly treatment with skirted peplum details, so you can toe the lines between naughty and nice, girly and tomboy, and edgy and flirty. Plus, while some peplum styles are tricky to pull off on certain figures, as they add extra volume and force you to be more mindful of proportions, peplum jackets help take the boxiness out of your typical leather bomber or moto-style jacket so you can show off your girlish figure, even under multiple fall-friendly layers! Browse some of my favorite picks in the links below!

KORE – Sophia Kokosalaki by ASOS

by fashion pulse contributor

[KORE Cross Halter Tie Dress]

[KORE Self Stripe Shift Dress]

For Spring/Summer 2012, the London based Greek designer Sophia Kokosalaki drew on her heritage to craft an ethically conscious collection, available exclusively at ASOS.com. The lineup gives life to a certain pure sensuality, while maintaining a youthful feel.

Even more inspiring, the brand’s pivotal focus is the empowerment of young women via social responsibility. This ethical commitment is established in a long-term relationship with a community cooperative workshop in Sri Lanka, where all of the hand crafted lace trim is produced, providing a consistent income for the all-female local team.

[KORE Washed Silk Pants]

You’re sure to swoon over the stunning drapery and the hand-crafted lace folded in and out of each design. The power orange halter dress is simply divine (we can’t get enough of this color this season), and also the silk pants feel fresh and visionary. Retailing from $110-$900, Sophia Kokosalaki hopes KORE will reach a broader audience, yet maintain her artistic, cultured aesthetic.
