Missoni is famous for their knitwear and prints. Many of you have seen their zig zag pattern, but you may not have recognized it as Missoni. The other day I saw this really cool photo of a house that re-purposed picture frames by creating a ceiling out of them, and it is very similar to the famous Missoni print.
Cool, huh? I wish my ceiling looked like that!
I was reminded that Keds were a shoe that was pretty trendy back when I was a kid, and then I saw an article about how Keds is getting a cool new fall look. So, after scrolling through their site, I noticed you could design your own shoe. I took a stab at it and here's how it turned out...
So, I think I'm obsessed with blazers. They are a simple staple in your wardrobe because they can be worn any time of year, you can find them in any color, they can be very slimming and yet very professional. I created a couple of different looks with two different types of blazers. Check it out...
We've all heard of control-top pantie hose and Spanx, but people my age don't really wear pantie hose, and as for Spanx...they can be uncomfortable and hot. So if you're in the market for a slimming dress, pants or tanks you should check these places out.
Yummy Tummy came out with a line of tank tops that slim your mid section. They come in different lengths depending on your height and style. I actually have one of these, and it's pretty nice. It has cotton on top and bottom and then spandex the middle.
Also, I just saw on Stylist's blog that Shape Fx came out with some nice wide leg pants that also slim your waist. They look like really nice trousers that anyone would wear to work. Shape Fx also has a perfect, slimming black dress and even a gorgeous wedding dress if you're worried about your shape on your big day.
I'd also like to take this time to say, yes, I am 25 and I use shapewear. haha. There's nothing wrong with girl wanting make sure she looks her extra best. ;) Besides, almost every celebrity walking the red carpet wears Spanx.
Sorry, I haven't blogged in awhile...Ryan and I got our first puppy - a golden doodle named Wendy. She's quite a handful, but thankfully I have a group of family and friends that are helping us out as we adjust.
Anyhoo, I was singing this past Sunday with my friend Brian, and he had on some awesome gold and black high tops. It just got me thinking about some iconic shoes that have started some serious trends.
Some of them have made their way back already and some are coming back stronger next year. Chucks have been going strong for awhile now since rockers and indies have brought them back. Dr.Martens were featured on Sienna Miller in Nylon last month, and I'm sure they will be bigger this fall and into 2010. Jellies came back this summer and I'm sure we'll see them next year too. High tops are also going to be a lot bigger in 2010...
Here are some shoes that came to my mind when thinking of "iconic shoes." Am I missing any other shoe brand? Have you worn most of these? I've worn all but the Jordans. =)
