vrrooom vrroom.

I am in love with the whole motorcycle, biker chic look that has taken over the fashion world. But lets just get it out of the way, whether or not you like Taylor Momsen (let me just say I love her! haha), she was one of the first that I saw to truly take this style to the next level. But she has stuck to it, and has now traveled deeper into the depths of chic biker girl, and it works!

Designers are now emerging with some killer looks that embody this trend in the full essence of what it is meant to represent. This look is powerful, provocative, and somehow manages to convey a level of class that is unexpected. It allows a woman to leave her house without looking polished, or like she spent hours getting ready; with a quick smoky eye, or a statement lipstick and messy, yet chic hair (of course!), a woman can work this trend. It involves lots of leather, suede, black and other darker colors, and metal; these things paired together used to mean dark, grunge (and not in the good way) but now this look is transformed into something new, a chic yet doable look for women everywhere, even if you can't buy the designers' looks.

H&M has a new line that personifies this look; I actually just got a gray jean skirt with a huge side set zipper on the front, I cannot wait to wear it! But check out this leather jacket:

Topshop, one of my all time favorite stores also has some killer leather jackets out, and the most expensive one is about $300, which for some style and awesome leather, isn't all that bad...this one is $260:

I hope you love this trend as much as I do, I just feel amazing when I look so edgy, I feel powerful and I admit, even "cool". Throw on some skinny jeans, a pair of killer heels, a tee, a sweet leather jacket, and your favorite Wayfarers, and you will look just as chic as any runway girl...

life is chic.

I thought I would dedicate my first blog entry to what we all are a part of: life. But even in this crazy, mixed up world, anywhere you look, you see fashion, you see art, you see the inner chic coming out of everyone, even if they don't see it themselves.

Fashion surrounds us, and as each designer takes their stand on what they see as the "in" and Anna Wintour proclaims which designer understands what is worth our time, these trends trickle and spread themselves everywhere. Displays windows change according to the seasons hottest looks, struggling designers alter their collection to fabricate the same essence that was shown on the runways (with their own twist of course), and the fashionsistas of this world?

We work the trends we care for into our everyday ensembles, even if we can't afford to buy the new drool worthy Yves Saint Laurent leather jacket. Everything in this world is fashioned to be appealing to the senses of each individual, and with out realizing it, no matter where one looks, fashion is there, style is there; and life is chic.
