My Briefing

Hello Who-Ever-You-Are,



I'm Sierra, and welcome to the blog of blunt truth on the fashion industry and fashion in rare form. You might see me dabble in other subjects here and there just to keep you awake, but I like to stick to what I love & hate. I'll tell you now, this is a real blog for the fashionably challenged to the so-called "gurus of fashion." I live and breathe fashion on the day-to-day basis, so I know my stuff. I follow trends, follow my own beat, and drop designers. I'm a freelance writer looking for views. I'm just myself looking for a place to type out my thoughts. I love fashion. I believe in a budget, so don't expect to see me supporting a 3,000 dollar headband; I might gawk at the luxury and find a cheap copy. I hate to be partial, but Marc Jacobs will always have my heart. Any questions? I didn't think so. Prepare to be schooled.

A Hard Transition

As I was rummaging through my closet with the idea of 90 degree weather in my head, it dawned on me...Fall weather dawned on me, smacked me in the face, and told me that short shorts and racerback tees just aren't going to work anymore! I glanced at my sweaters and jackets, shrugged, and then grabbed my sweatpants, deciding to stay home that day. I felt defeated. Summer is really over?

Yes, unfortunately, those hot, lazy summer days are over; the the worst part is knowing that it's just going to get colder! Thankfully, fashion has tricked mother nature with something called summer to fall transitional outfits! Yay! We can still wear shorts and gladiators for two more weeks! The trick is being able to not look like you're stuck in the past. Well, I must explain. You see, this isn't easily pulled off, because you can go from looking chic to looking like a reject who needs to put on a sweater before they catch a case of the sniffles...

I Love Shorts
Hmm, don't want to let go of those denim shorts? Okay, fine, go snatch a blazer out your closet, and while you're at it, get some tights or leggings if you dare Throw on some of the seasons hottest shoe trends like lace-up booties or clogs, and you are set. Please don't assume that a bikini top will be okay to wear under the blazer! A simple t-shirt will do just fine.















Bold



Floral is my Favorite

Okay, I enjoyed the floral trend just as much as you did. It intensified my girlishness! Floral speaks the language of being feminine, so I understand why some are holding on. Try out a simple muted floral dress, a denim jacket or vest, and throw on some suede knee high boots. So now you can still wear your cute floral dress but stand the windy days.



















Listen to Leather

Leather is one of Fall's biggest trends; I personally try to avoid real leather; since, I'm such an animal lover, not to mention my guilty conscience! Anyways, Leather pretty much has been made into every article of clothing this season, from chokers to underwear; it's just in! Now depending on the temperature in your area, leather shorts might not be such a bad idea? A button down silk top, knit sweater, or once again, a tee and some booties or oxfords could really look fab with this leather trend!





















So how do you feel about the transition? What trend are you going to sport? Leather and silk? Denim, camel, and floral? Or, are you just going to follow the beat of your own drum!? The choice is yours. Be chic!

Chao!

Fashion Forward Trend Watch: Tribal GLAM

The spring and summer has some dominating trends that can easily be thrown into a basic wardrobe. A few statement pieces can freshen up your closet with breaking your bank! My favorite intense trend this season is tribal! It's fun, bright, ethnic, and simple; one tribal romper, from vintage to Marc Jacobs, can put you in the fashion mix. Style is all about what you choose and what makes you happy! Here's some of my favorites!

Fresh Spring 2010: Clean & Conventional

As I sifted through images on Google, Style, & whoever else, I found a few designer that were able to create the main ideas circulating around the industry. Here are some of my muses.

The Clean & Conventional Award winners are...

Akris: Clean lines were used to structure confidence and status for each piece a part of the Akris Spring 2010 Ready-to-Wear Collection; the collection definitely defined the wardrobe of a busy, confident, professional, & realistic woman, yet each piece kept it's femininity, some staying in earth tones & nudes and others with vibrant color. The long gowns were also gorgeous, all completely practical. The torso draping with belts on the maxi dresses were clean & feminine; the maxi dresses with the translucent torsos added sexiness and versatility. I have to say that the designer defined realism. The look of tomorrow.



Donna Karan: Flowing translucent chiffon gowns & structured power suits glided down the runway, the pieces of the Donna Karan Spring Ready-to-Wear Collection. Transitioned pencil skirts with rugged blazer overlays captured the sense of being beyond just business. The layered dresses and gowns cultivated me, absolutely stunning! I have to say that this has been an extremely successful season for Donna Karan!




Alberta Ferreti: Gorgeous pastel chiffon frocks stole my heart as I clicked through the Spring Ready-to-Wear Collection. Such innocent pieces with undermined sex appeal. Translucent chiffon dresses with pastel patchwork and garden inspired outfits marched to their own feminine beat. No wonder why it was love at first site!





Well, how do you like my picks?
