Blazing Up

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">I have to admit that I am <strike>slightly</strike>, <strike>somewhat</strike>...okay I am <i>seriously</i> addicted to blazers. Just when you think you have enough of them, you find another and another and with so many beautiful prints and trendy shades in stores, it's impossible to pick just <strike>one</strike> ten. They are incredibly versatile and perfect for in-between seasons and cooler summer evenings. Worn over jeans, dresses, skirts and tights, they can glam-up or simmer down any outfit. </span><br /><br /><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span><br /><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">These are 25 more blazers that I would love to add to my wardrobe.</span><br /><br /><br /><br /><b><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: x-large;">Floral Prints</span></b><br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgbK8apQ7z7mSc1zEa-FaAzQ7GUEnyhCB0dK1BrmWyi2gA-2LoNhDQHTE_az4b8C4HsC2AICMLLCN6fyHT4p92EFkhMP9PTEsxvY30N3POnb0nKoCYqGovFeL_dEYk4iUosGouu5F2QX-bF/s1600/blazers1.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="512" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgbK8apQ7z7mSc1zEa-FaAzQ7GUEnyhCB0dK1BrmWyi2gA-2LoNhDQHTE_az4b8C4HsC2AICMLLCN6fyHT4p92EFkhMP9PTEsxvY30N3POnb0nKoCYqGovFeL_dEYk4iUosGouu5F2QX-bF/s640/blazers1.jpg" width="640" /></a></div><br /><br /><br /><div style="text-align: center;"><br /><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: x-small;">1.

Winter Coats - The 2012 Trend Edition

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">The one fashion item we can always rely on in winter is a chic and trendy coat. Not only do they keep us warmly wrapped up, but they also add instant glamour when tossed over any cozily layered outfit (some of which we would rather not have anyone see). This season, designers have spelt out a number of great coat trends...from puffy quilted coats to prim military jackets, oversized cocoon shaped coats to boxy blazers. </span><br /><br /><br /><br /><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">As most of us would heed serious caution before swiping our credit cards for a $2000 Jil Sander coat, we have the high street retail brands to thank for their splendid renditions of these designer duds. </span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">These are Winter 2012's biggest coat trends, where we all can achieve the 'Luxury Look For Less'.</span><br /><br /><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span><br /><br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both;

Tailored Blazers by Mlle Epaulette

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">My current wardrobe 'Must Have' has to be the trendy tailored blazer; and while we've stocked up on the classic neutrals, floral prints, pastels and brights, fashion label <i>Mlle Epaulette</i> has taken a more glamourous and polished approach to the trend. The creative concept of Lebanese designer Remi Sabbah, <i>Mlle Epaulette</i> sets itself apart from the usual run-of-the-mill brands by placing exclusivity on constructing chic and tailored blazers.</span><br /><br /><br /><br /><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">For Winter 2012, Sabbah employs the luxury and opulence of sequins, Swarovski crystals, animal prints, velvet and satin in her exquisite collection. Sharp cuts, eye-catching colours and cropped at just the right length, </span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">these swanky tuxedo coats </span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">are flattering to every figure. A dazzling addition to that little black party dress or why not upstyle a simple t-shirt and pair of jeans with one of these irresistibly elegant pieces.</span><br /><br /><br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both;

Jessica Alba's Biker Street Style

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Always one to initiate a trend, Jessica Alba's closet staple this fall is a chic black leather biker jacket. The stunning actress takes her sophisticated styling to the streets of New York this October, being photographed in her <i>Ralph Lauren</i> Leather Davidson jacket on numerous occasions. </span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Her luxurious leather coat costs a staggering €3990, and she's demonstrated many different ways of styling it with other high end designer separates. Jessica favors her </span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><i>Proenza Schouler </i></span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">sling bag, vibrant prints in trousers and skirts with tank tops and minimal accessories.

Fashion Tips for Men: Looking Stylish in Shorts

<div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on"><div style="text-align: justify;">The beginning of summer is fast approaching and this year has already seen some fabulously warm and sunny days. Thus, it is time to start thinking about what to wear during the summer months and start building up a new summer wardrobe. For many men, this will include wearing shorts.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">To think that wearing shorts is simple would be correct – it generally is but there are also a few firm and fast guidelines to follow before investing in a nice pair of men’s shorts. </div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><b>Make Sure the Shorts Fit Perfectly:</b></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">This is a mistake that many men make when wearing shorts and when buying men’s clothing. Some men opt for very tight shorts (or attempt to squeeze into last year’s pair when they have gained weight) or, more typically, men will find the biggest and baggiest pair of shorts available to wear. Although this may provide a high level of comfort and ventilation it does not look good! </div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">Instead, it is important to find a pair of shorts that fit nicely – they should be rather fitted and length wise should end just above the knee. Again, they should not be too tight or too short! </div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><b>Wear Shorts With Confidence:</b></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">Many men find wearing shorts intimidating because many men are not used to showing so much leg. However, by finding the perfect pair of shorts that fit correctly and look good then wearing shorts will be easy. </div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">Other things to bear in mind when wearing a new pair of shorts for the first time is to select a simple style – especially for those who are not used to wearing shorts. Stick to simple block colours such as black, grey, browns and neutral tones, and don’t over-accessorise. </div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">Think about what t-shirt or jacket best compliments the shorts and wear them with confidence. It is important always to think about the overall look of an outfit instead of mismatching random items from the wardrobe. Thus think about what t-shirts or jackets can be worn with shorts before investing in any. </div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><b>When to Start Wearing Shorts: </b></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">This very much depends on the type of shorts worn. Shorts can be worn as early as April in the year when we first begin to see some strikingly sunny days. Why waste such opportunities? If still unsure about wearing shorts so early in the year then try investing in different types of shorts. </div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">For instance, it is possible to invest in shorts made from heavier materials around this time of year – thin cotton shorts can be saved for the hotter months ahead. Wearing a heavier pair of shorts will give a sense of security. </div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">Wearing heavier shorts may also present an opportunity to recycle old and unwanted trousers and chinos from past years.

This season, the studded range adds some extra adornment to your everyday cropped, roughed-up leather jacket.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Pictured left is a heavily silver-studded black leather biker from <i>Burberry</i> <i>Prorsum</i>. It has an asymmetrical zip, zip-up cuffs and pockets, with multi-sized studs on the collar, belt and sleeves. It is priced at £4 950,52</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">In the middle is a studded, cracked leather jacket by <i>Just Cavalli. </i>It's simpler and perhaps more wearable than the previous jacket.

It is priced at £597,89</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Wear your biker over tees and jeans, body-con dresses or with floaty printed frocks for a pretty punk-rock look.
