Warmth: Pantone® Fall-Winter Fashion Colors 2010

The cold and tough winter months need warmth: colors that calm the soul and help us keep going forward. Pantone®'s palette is full of contrasts and features four especially warm colors: American Beauty being the most notorious of them all, is meant to be a "feel-good" color and is used to complement edgy or quirky fashion. Honey Yellow brings the sunshine in while staying subdued and fit for winter, its fashion style is classic and feminine with a vintage feel. An interesting combination is created when matched with Burnt Sienna, a fall classic with a rusty twist in a base of orangey rose featured in frilly pieces with a retro touch.
Last but not least, comes the king of neutrals: Crème Brûlée. Frostier than our regular nudes, it becomes one of the most elegant hues in current styles. When paired with color, the result is impeccably chic, as it conveys joy amidst a challenging environment.

How to pull off a pair of harem pants: An Outfit Dissection

How to pull off a pair of harem pants: An Outfit Dissection

Opinions on harem pants have been divided ever since they made their appearance on the fashion runways a few seasons ago. Other terms you might have heard include zoave, lungi, jodhphur, dhoti and peg pants (half harem pant). Whether you consider them a must-have fashion item or view them as an unwanted eighties remnant, the truth is that harem pants are much harder to look good in than a common trouser.

Their different aesthetic make them a strong statement on their own, so the rest of the outfit should be chosen carefully. Black non-shiny harem pants are the best choice as they don't stand out as much and will not widen your silhouette as easily. Choose lightweight fabrics that drape elegantly and naturally as well as a drop-crotch that is not too low. Below, we present you with a few proven options that will help you make the harem pants look flattering: a cropped or fitted jacket, a well-fitting non-slouchy top (a sleeveless style provides more balance) and a pair of strappy or feminine sandals (heels work much better than flats as they will elongate you).

Inherently ultra comfy and slick, not to mention extremely on-trend for the rest of the year, once you find a pair of harem pants that fits you well and the right pieces that seamlessly complement them, it will be hard to let them go.


Twin Pant in Black by Cheap Monday; Cropped Jackets: Open Slub Sweater by Charlotte Russe; Suede Biker Jacket by Maje Gill; Lux Little Brother Blazer by Lux, Urban Outfitters; Flattering Tops and Necklaces: Bias Tank by Organic; Red Flower Necklace by Anthropologie; Modern Art Tank by H&M; Multi-Chain Lenon Necklace by Dannijo; Paillette Tank Top by G-Lish; Patent Leather Neck Piece by Rue du Mail; Feminine Sandals: T-Strap Sandal, Marc by Marc Jacobs; Suede Platform Sandals by Giuseppe Zanotti; Verity Multistrap Sandals by Jimmy Choo.

A Lover's Day Inspired Outfit Dissection

For good or bad, Valentine's day is just around the corner. Whether it means the world to you or it's simply another winter's day in your life, it's hard not to be part of the sugary time. In fashion, there's always something for every mood and personality, so there's hope for both types. The outfit core is made up of three balanced pieces: 3.1 Phillip Lim's Ruffled Leather Jacket (feminine with a rocker's edge); All Saints' Deadblooms Tee (Victorian-style modernity); 3.1 Phillip Lim's Peg Pants (easy-to-wear trendy).

Depending on your current lover's day outlook you can either make the outfit cool with a touch of brown sugar by adding: Marc by Marc Jacobs' Leather Slouchy Tote and Boden's Jewelled Pumps, or chocolate-covered and hard-core romantic with the help of: Miss Selfridge's Frilly Shoulder Bag and Kurt Geiger's Ribbon-tie Heels.

It's all about slightly adjusting the outfit core by making simple choices...much like choosing between bittersweet and white chocolate.

Denim Sweet Denim

How many different materials do we usually wear?
Probably just a few. For most occasions, comfortable materials are a sensible choice, so is there a way to look polished at the same time?

Postmodern denim to the rescue: the mixture of structure and a variety of thicknesses, shades and finishes make denim look as new as when it was first created in the late 18th century. Found in a wide range of garments, be it casual or upscale, spring or winter oriented, pure or sensual, denim was invented to persist, look good and most of all: be practical for the real life.
