Jersey Chic

A trend sweeping the world of fashion this year is the Jersey Chic trend. The good thing is that this trend looks good on both girls and guys. The bad thing is, not just any jersey will do. To pull this trend off right you have to think beyond sports and more chic. The key is not to just rummage through your closet and find your old Knicks Jersey. The jersey should be in black and white with either the base color black and the words and numbers white or vise versa. As show below, the style really doesn't complement any particular sport rather designers or better yet places, like Brooklyn, Los Angeles or Detroit. They don't even have to be in conventional jersey fashion and could just resemble what looks like could be a jersey like the Chanel inspired piece below. 

Black on Black on Black

Fall is creeping near and with the colder, fierce temperatures we are about to endure, no better time for you ladies to rock the new fashion wave taking over the luscious lips around the world. Goth is back, in a way...but more chic. The hottest trend right now is black lips. The best way to rock this style is to keep everything else simple. Wearing simple shades of black or white is key to perfect the dark look seen on celebrities like Jessie J and the Jenner sisters. Please refrain from patent leather attire and other hardware, or hardcore punk ensembles.

Socks and Sandals Faux Pas No Longer

That's right people, you may now leisurely gallivant around town both comfortably and stylishly. Wearing socks with sandals was deemed a fashion faux pas and was discouraged by fashionistas,stylists, and fashion editors alike. Like some fashion faux pas, some brilliant fashion soul revamped the lazy mundane look, and now most designers have adapted the newer chic look into their runway shows. Burberry Prorsum incorporated the look with snazzy metallic sandals in colors such as yellow, blue, magenta and even black. The look is tricky to pull off and perhaps isn't for everyone but here are a few photos just to show you how people are pulling it of today.

Camouflage Comeback

Army camouflage has fought its way back into the fashion scene and wardrobes of fashion lovers all over the world. Army chic is more popular perhaps now, then ever. A new twist on the rugged combat look has taken place, and designers such as Valentino and Givenchy have embraced the sizzling trend. The iconic pattern is usually distinguished by its earthy green fusion of colors, but don't be surprised if you spot brighter colors such as blue and orange brought into the mix. Below are just a few ways you can sport the hot trend this season.

Shoe Game

Guys, if you are not on the hottest shoe trend happening right now, you need to jump on it ASAP! Guys are becoming just as shoe obsessed as the one and only Carrie Bradshaw. The male shoe game has progressed to new fashion heights. From a time when men's shoes consisted of your basic New Balance running sneaker or Nike, along with a simple penny loafer and a more formal laced oxford in black or brown, shoes have since transformed into a whole new creature. Today there seems to be a variety of shoe styles that men have available to them. With individual styles bursting away from mainstream norms, shoes have become an integral part of any trend-setter's wardrobe.

Today the hottest shoe trend right now is the overly decked out sneaker. sneakers with platforms, sneakers with stuffed animals on them, sneakers decorated with metal and covered in spikes all seem to be what's hot with kicks today.

Beyond Fashion

The Metropolitan Museum of Art kicked of its annual Costume Institute Gala Benefit last night where the stars came out to put their best fashion foot forward. A drastic change from last year's punk exhibit, the Costume Institute Gala exudes elegance at its finest, showcasing the great American designer, Charles James. Charles James was considered an American couturier, although impossible as couture designers are only deemed haute couture by the Chambre Syndicale de la Haute Couture in France, and you must be a French based designer. Despite the extreme exclusivity of the haute couture community, Charles James' designs were immaculate. Charles really had a passion for what he did and incorporated elements of art, math and science to execute his architectural masterpieces.

The exhibit is open to the public May 8th and runs until August 10, 2014. Upon arrival you can see 75 of the most breathtaking designs produced by the famed designer throughout the extent of his career. This year's exhibit utilizes the new Anna Wintour Costume Center and the first floor's Special Exhibition Galleries.

This year the stars, socialites and fashion experts gracefully walked down fashion's hottest red carpet in gorgeous ball gowns fit for the event. Below are just some of the styles from last nights Gala.

Holy Miley

The 'Can't Be Tamed' singer is looking wildly gorgeous and almost unrecognizable in her new spread for W Magazine out today, and boy oh boy is she red-hot! After receiving quite a bit of flack post VMA twerking fiasco, media all around the world was certain this one-time Disney apprentice was on the same path Hollywood starlets before her once battled. Comparing her to the Lindsay's, Paris', and Britney's of Tinseltown, most people were expecting her to soon reveal that she had been struggling with substance abuse, and was ready to commit herself into rehab. Sorry I'm not sorry, but it has been quite the contrary. Her star has risen more than ever before and America's Sweetheart has turned into Fashion's Most Wanted. Recently, Miley has been seen wearing close to nothing but duck-tape and a wagging tounge, but when the  21 year old Nashville native does decide to 'cover up' you can be sure she's doing it in Marc Jacobs. That's right, fashion designer just named her the new face of Marc Jacobs and a new ad campaign presenting an androgynous looking Miley can be found in todays fashion mags on newsstands today.

Since then Miley, Ms. Cyrus if your nasty, has recently came out with a spread for W Magazine and words cannot describe how flawless this girl looks! She is edgy, exudes punk, rock and roll, and has sex goddess written all over her. This former child star is now an adult superstar and has come a long way from her awkward photo shoots with Daddy Ray Cyrus. She is a force to be reckoned with in the fashion world and the perfectly paired, Marcus and Mert, has captured that in the W Magazine spread. Whether its wearing nothing but a sleeve of silver bangles, exposing a nipple in a black leather jumpsuit, or a simulation of stimulation while clad in a sultry back bearing top, Miley Cyrus is making her mark in the fashion world. Miley's rocking fashion with hardy anything on and I'm loving every second of it. I can't wait to see what she has in store for us in 2014. If you haven't seen the photos yet, look no further.
