Cute doesn't mean stupid

Christmas is coming soon.

Remember while shopping this jolly season to dress according to the weather. Just because it's cold doesn't mean you have to dress in chunky sweaters. This season, wear sexy jeans and cute-fitting sweaters.

Remember, dressing cute doesn't mean you have to dress stupidly. Be fashion forward.

Skinny jeans or sweethearts?

Apparently what's new in fashion is an item that has been mentioned in this blog in the past. But it's a trend that has been evolving for a while: Skinny jeans. Old Navy at Valley View Mall has the new sweetheart jeans, where are designed with a low-rise waist, stretch denim and slight flare. Unlike skinny jeans, I think most people can pull these jeans off.

Cell phones show your personality

In the world of fashion, we see many different styles on the runway that we call life.

But one style we didn't expect to see was the cell phone.

Cell phones are the newest crave. The color, the style and the price all say something about your personality.

The RAZR, the slider and the iPhone are some of the new devices that can help you make the statement you want.

They're also great for making phone calls.

So, what does your cell say about your personality? Post a comment

Welcome to Fashion Forward

When you look around this fall, you're going to see a mix of different styles. The most popular for girls are mini skirts with leggings and a band, graphic or designer T-shirt. Polos are also always great to wear. There is also a fashion statement that's coming back -- vintage -- which usually consists of big pocketbooks, chunky bracelets, big - big belts, stiletto heels, beaded necklaces, baby doll dresses and skinny jeans.

For the guys, the usual fashion statements are hole-filled jeans, band T's or pants so low you'll trip over them. All of these may have seemed normal last year, but what's in now for the guys? The current trend is a cross between baggy jeans, long T-shirts, band T's, base ball caps, firm jeans (which are are snug, but not too tight, so you will not look like the girls), and chains that hang around your neck and off your pants.
