Anna Sui in Target! (but not for all TEENSIZERS)

The Good news: One of my most favorite designers, Anna Sui (pronounced sue-e), designed a gorgeous line of dresses and blouses for Target! The prices are a little more than your regular Target item, but the prints are to die for, the details are amazing, these are really beautiful pieces. I promise I will dedicate a post to her really soon.

The bad news: I couldn't find anything larger than a 12, and even the 12 wasn't very forgiving, so for most of my TEENSIZER, Anna Sui will have to wait.

If you want to see it, try it, get it, go NOW, it is available for a limited time only, and I already couldn't find the gorgeous white lace dress.

Did you notice the different font?!

Did you noticed that our last post came in a different type and color font? 

It happens that I have an "uber" fashionable, gorgeous and cool sister that is a personality in the Miami night scene. Off-course she goes to work with the trendiest outfits, and she knows how to translate them into day-wear.

As we were discussing fashion options the other day we realized there is a lot of advise to be offer to the "warmer" TEENSIZERS of the tropics or the more daring TEENSIZERS everywhere.

So whenever you see the post in blue Helvetica, it is coming from FL...Expect it to be FUNKY!!!

SHOES new force of fashion

Look down 7th ave. during fashion week and you will see it.  The highest heels! the craziest shoes!

Why, that's great news for us TEENSIZERS!

Pants are hard to fit, dresses may show our "weakest points", but SHOES, they are always there for us, doesn't matter if we go up or down a couple of pounds, if we feel bloated or didn't shave (it happens).

Now, those higher than live crazy heels are not for everyone or every occasion, but we do have an option... the ankle tie sandal. They go with shorts, skirts, pants, dresses... Just wear them with plain clothes and make sure you accessorize to elongate the figure, since they can make the legs look a little shorter.

If you are lucky enough to live in Florida, wear them all year round. If you, like me here in NY, are ready to say by to summer, use them now! it  is your last chance for the year.

little RED TEENSIZER!!!get your apples this Fall.

 

Continuing our conversation about Fall's colors, Red is moving to the center of attention. It is said that in down times (has someone heard of the economic recession?) designers and customers opt for more sober colors. This time around, though, everyone seems to be trying to lift up our spirits splashing a little red all over!

It is not as big as other colors in the palette, but it is definitely worth mentioning.

Coats and purses, shoes and tops, and gorgeous RED LIPS!!!!!

Go for it, my TEENSIZER!

Update from fashion Week NY

As I just mentioned before, the 80's are playing a big role as an inspiration for the Spring 10 collections of many (most!) designers. Things to keep in mind and look for:

-Graphic florals, not the little house on the prairie!!! but very modern, surrealist ones.

-80's silhouettes, rag and Bone has the baggiest, loosest pieces of clothes, BCBG has asymmetrical sheath dresses , etc.

 

BCBG , TAHARI I & II , Rag & Bone

-Muted colors, even though it is a spring collection, I am seeing vibrant colors being replaced by relaxing earthy tones, muted greens, lots of creams and beiges. These are great colors for most of us, TEENSIZERS!

We will continue taking a look at the collections, don't forget to keep track by signing up for e-mails or tweets.

Welcome to NY Fashion Week!

Yes, today is the start of New York Fashion Week.

Designers will be presenting their proposals for Spring 2010, so we will have some time to digest and decide what's actually going to work for us.

I will keep you posted, so stay in touch and/or sign up for email updates and RSS.

I will also include some gossip, just for the fun of it. To begin with, do you know that a designer has to pay over $100,000 for a spot in one of the tents (did you even know there were tents?), and that is not counting all of the HUGE production costs including models, decor, etc.

This is not only for talented designers, but for talented and RICH designers.
More is coming...

Go 80's without going overboard

Hi to all my TEENSIZERS out there!

School started, kids are away and here I am trying to find the right clothes to wear everyday to work. Since my work is not always fashion-related (I teach!) I try to keep updated and fashionable without feeling out of place.

I had recently gotten a great "blouson" (A garment, such as a dress or shirt, with a fitted waistband over which material blouses.) at TARGET for $6.76, following the 80's spitit, I paired it with a cool belt I got from H&M at $14, black Capri pants and black sandals, you have no idea how many compliments I got!

The trick here is going 80's without going overboard, even if you read in magazines, time and again, that shoulder pads are back, BEWARE, they are not for every body, every style, and every occasion, and they are not your mother's shoulder pads!

Don't dress like a quarterback just yet. We will talk more about the topic,and for now, keep the 80's to the accessories, and maybe only one piece of clothing at a time.
