#3- NYC Street Style

NYC, the city that never sleeps & one of the world's fashion capitals (and for good reason too.)  In the midst of what possibly is the warmest winter, people are already begging for spring to arrive. While we all know pops of colour are starting to scratch the surface, the tough and edginess of leather still hangs on. Leather is ever so chic, modern and fierce. This trend is cool in the winter and will look even cooler in the spring. So don't stash away your leather goods just yet! 

#2 Key Trend For Fall 2012

After sifting through various fashion shows on Style.com, I have come to the conclusion that the next trend to make its debut is the belted dress. This style is quite simple yet very flattering for the body. A belted dress can be styled in countless ways & can suit to anyone's taste. This style can be anything from a bright maxi dress with a dark belt and flats to a belted frock with a leather jacket & boots to a calf length dress with a chunky cable knit sweater & wedges. The belted dress is fairly simple to do & the glorious thing about it, is that mostly everyone has a belt & dress in their closet; so there's no need to go shopping. Then again, girls love to shop just for the sake of shopping. Which in that case, I hope you ladies have fun picking a stylish belted dress!

#1- Blogs I Enjoy

One of my most favourite blogs has to be Chictopia. It's an online community, whose members come from all over the world but they bond together in the name of fashion. This site is filled to the brim with countless inspiration from chic individuals, fashion trends & style tips. What's also intriguing about Chictopia is their "chic" points. Members get points by doing simple things such as commenting on someone's post. Garner yourself enough points & you get rewarded with something as   fabulous as a fresh pair of shoes! Who wouldn't want free shoes?

Another blog I love to look at is Emily Schuman's Cupcakes And Cashmere. This Cali girl has quite the taste in not only fashion but food as well. This stylish foodie blogs about her outfits (of course!), recipes, beauty & home. Emily generously gives her readers beauty/hair how-tos,recipes to some delish food & fashionable tips on home improvement.
