I gotta admit: I’m a Southern Girl at heart! And I love love love Southern music–you can find me bumpin everything from 3 6 Mafia to Lil Jon on my Ipod. Since I’m going back to ATL, I decided to bless the day with this Soulja Boy diddy:

Ugh, I’m almost ashamed to admit how much I like this song!

Anywho, enjoy. Turn your swag on!

A few pics of the shots of chic we missed:

Zoe wins, hands down.
Who takes the crown for you?

If you lusted over Solange’s shoes from her Yes Yes Yes to Safe Sex event, we found she’s wearing these Valentino Patent D’Orsay Pumps:

With all the excitement over Forever 21’s new Plus Sized Line, I figured, why not profile some hot new plus sized styles for the budget fashionista?

Check out these 15 hot picks under $150:

Hey Fashion Bombers!

So usually, we give you guys a rundown of all the trends that are a hot this season, but today I’m going to take a different approach and tell you what trends to stay away from.  Heck, some of them shouldn’t have even see the light of the day!

First up…jeans with distracting embroidery:

There are a ton of ways to gain attention by what you wear.  This, however, is not one of them.  Most of the time, the people behind you will be staring at your backside, but probably not in the way that you want them to.

Speaking of distracting designs…

Tops with tattoo designs are out…officially.  It shouldn’t be one’s aim to want to look like the Pirates of the Caribbean trilogy threw up on them.

Next,  neck scarves for guys:

I have to admit that I wanted one when they first came out, but I never got around to getting one.  Just as well, since everyone and their grandparents have one!  They’ve been around for about 2 years now, so it’s pretty safe to say that this trend is done.

There are heels with a pointed toe, then there are these…

You have to admit that these shoes are deeply unattractive and can most certainly be mistaken for weapons.  Some women may be able to pull these off under wide-leg trousers for a work-appropriate ensemble.  But there are many who wear these bad boys with short shorts and dressy tops in the clubs.  Definitely not a good look.

While we’re on the topic of fugly shoes…

What’s so bad is that I see shoes like these in just about every shoe store I go to!  Can you blame me for not wanting my shoes to resemble an oversized elf’s footwear?

And last, because this one NEVER gets old…

Where to begin? All my college students know that it wouldn’t be college unless we saw at least 3 girls rocking the sweatpants in the Uggs.  It’s cool if it actually snows where you are, but if these are still on after 2 PM, then that’s just a huge no-no, no matter how much mascara you have on.

So what do you guys think?  Did I miss anything?

Make Fetch Happen has scans of Arlenis Sosa in a new German Vogue spread called “Magic Black”:

See the rest here.

As I was staring at Beyonce’s Balmain jacket yesterday, I started to reflect on how so many old trends have become new again.
From Bey’s Michael Jackson inspired steeze…

To Fashionistas profiling in modernized hammer pants…

From trendsetters like Rihanna channeling Prince…

To Kanye West borrowing from 80’s classics to begin new movements…

What other trends and celebs give you deja vu?

With all this talk of Hammer Pants, it’s only right to take a look at the man who started it all:

Check out the fashion in this video!

Hammer Pants can come back, but the spandex shorts can stay in the 90’s!

Whoever else stood in front of the TV doing the hammer dance? Oh, just me…?

So I’m in Chicago and it’s cold!!! I wish I had brought along a leather jacket, like this Alice + Olivia Bree Bomber:

At $697 it’s quite a splurge, but you can’t put a price on warmth!

Now, where can I find some cute threads in the Chi?
