Certain celebrities like Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen shell out thousands of dollars for that \'urban\' look - boho chic. People with average income who want the designer touch, sometimes break the bank for those Gucci shades or have to turn to imitation brands for the latest vogue in purses or shoes. <br /><br />Riches to Rags <br /><br /><a href=\"http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_9E8gReGBThA/RiYRXsj_hXI/AAAAAAAAAKo/uLeLHZRgcL0/s1600-h/richestorags.gif\"><img src=\"http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_9E8gReGBThA/RiYRXsj_hXI/AAAAAAAAAKo/uLeLHZRgcL0/s400/richestorags.gif\" border=\"0\" alt=\"\"id=\"BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5054746730566747506\" /></a><br /><br />A) Louis Vuitton Urban Satchel $45 000<br />B) No boundaries Mixed Media Tote Bag  $12.96 Walmart<br /><br /><a href=\"http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_9E8gReGBThA/RiYRX8j_hYI/AAAAAAAAAKw/wvOmZcqjTf4/s1600-h/ragstoriches2.gif\"><img src=\"http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_9E8gReGBThA/RiYRX8j_hYI/AAAAAAAAAKw/wvOmZcqjTf4/s400/ragstoriches2.gif\" border=\"0\" alt=\"\"id=\"BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5054746734861714818\" /></a><br /><br />C) Light Urban Destruction Jean $115.00 Armaniexchange.com<br />D) Levis Nouveau Boot Cut Stretch Jeans $5.10 Shopgoodwill.com<br /><br /><br />Poor to Posh<br /><br /><a href=\"http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_9E8gReGBThA/RiYRX8j_hZI/AAAAAAAAAK4/3WP7hm9w-Nw/s1600-h/poortoposh.gif\"><img src=\"http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_9E8gReGBThA/RiYRX8j_hZI/AAAAAAAAAK4/3WP7hm9w-Nw/s400/poortoposh.gif\" border=\"0\" alt=\"\"id=\"BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5054746734861714834\" /></a><br /><br />A) Black Mahala Croc Trim Tote inspired by Jimmy Choo 42.99 Baghaus.com<br />B) Jimmy Choo Mahala Bag $1895 Neiman Marcus.com<br /><br /><a href=\"http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_9E8gReGBThA/RiYRYMj_haI/AAAAAAAAALA/GUm_H9uFjfU/s1600-h/poortoposh2.gif\"><img src=\"http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_9E8gReGBThA/RiYRYMj_haI/AAAAAAAAALA/GUm_H9uFjfU/s400/poortoposh2.gif\" border=\"0\" alt=\"\"id=\"BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5054746739156682146\" /></a><br /><br />C) Charles David Twilo  $163.76 Zappos.com<br />D) Manola Blahnik Thyme $535.00 Footcandyshoes.com<br /><br />The point of this post is; don\'t be a slave to brand names. Buy clothes and accessories because they look good and you like them; not because of the label. If you can\'t afford the brands you like, don\'t break the bank to get them. It is fine to get the imitation version sometimes, but make sure you are buying it because you like it and not just to keep up with the joneses!<div><img width=\"1\" height=\"1\" src=\"https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/2489186653920012809-4691963794751228019?l=styleandvogue.blogspot.com\" alt=\"\" /></div></font><br><font size=\'1\' face=\'Verdana\'><br><li><a class=\'mysite_item_lnk\' href=\'http://styleandvogue.blogspot.com/2007/04/swimsuits_8468.html\' ><font size=\'1\' face=\'Verdana\'>Swimsuits</font></a></li><font size=\'1\' face=\'Verdana\'> Depending on your coverage preference you can go from bikinis to monokinis to full bathing suits.

Her line is  called Bitten- taken from the fact that she was \'bitten\' by the acting bug. The line is meant to be affordable and it actually is! Every piece is $20 or under- hard to believe; yet true. <br /><a href=\"http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_9E8gReGBThA/RjgQZ1lb9zI/AAAAAAAAAM4/xSVitbu3il8/s1600-h/sjp.gif\"><img src=\"http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_9E8gReGBThA/RjgQZ1lb9zI/AAAAAAAAAM4/xSVitbu3il8/s400/sjp.gif\" border=\"0\" alt=\"\"id=\"BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5059812217417627442\" /></a><br /> <br />I haven\'t seen any pieces except for the polka dot black and white dress pictured, and I would definetly buy that for $20. I have a similar dress except mine has spaghetti staps and I would recommend this dress. It is a classic and a staple for your closet. You can wear it to the office with a white or black sweater or in the evening with red heels and a red belt. The line will be sold by Steve and Barry\'s and debuts on June 7th. <br /><a href=\"http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_9E8gReGBThA/RjgQaFlb90I/AAAAAAAAANA/zsylyfFQvro/s1600-h/sjp2.gif\"><img src=\"http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_9E8gReGBThA/RjgQaFlb90I/AAAAAAAAANA/zsylyfFQvro/s400/sjp2.gif\" border=\"0\" alt=\"\"id=\"BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5059812221712594754\" /></a><br /><br />Bitten dress $20.00 Bittensjp.com<div><img width=\"1\" height=\"1\" src=\"https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/2489186653920012809-7309523136621698437?l=styleandvogue.blogspot.com\" alt=\"\" /></div></font><br><font size=\'1\' face=\'Verdana\'><br><li><a class=\'mysite_item_lnk\' href=\'http://styleandvogue.blogspot.com/2007/05/fashion-911-emergency-scarlett.html\' ><font size=\'1\' face=\'Verdana\'>Fashion 911 Emergency: Scarlett Johansson</font></a></li><font size=\'1\' face=\'Verdana\'> Scarlett Johansson at the Louis Vuitton LOVE party at the Louis Vuitton store in New York.<br /><br /><a href=\"http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_9E8gReGBThA/RjtPnFlb91I/AAAAAAAAANI/UJjQRvyRbmo/s1600-h/scarlettjohanssonlv.jpg\"><img src=\"http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_9E8gReGBThA/RjtPnFlb91I/AAAAAAAAANI/UJjQRvyRbmo/s400/scarlettjohanssonlv.jpg\" border=\"0\" alt=\"\"id=\"BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5060726139213576018\" /></a><br />I love Scarlett Johansonn, I love her movies, her attidue and normally, I love her style. This time however, she gets the thumbs down! I can\'t believe it, everything is so off center! Somehow, she still manages to look beautiful in spite of this fashion disaster. Her hair looks overprocessed, like it has been straightened too much and has no body left to it. The colouring of the dress and the pleating of the skirt is very unflattering. Yuck!

Whether it is a  black and white dress or black and white seperates that are being paired together, the look is undeniably fresh and sophisticated. <br /><a href=\"http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_9E8gReGBThA/Rj0bRllb94I/AAAAAAAAANg/A9MsByEILcE/s1600-h/blkwht.gif\"><img src=\"http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_9E8gReGBThA/Rj0bRllb94I/AAAAAAAAANg/A9MsByEILcE/s400/blkwht.gif\" border=\"0\" alt=\"\"id=\"BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5061231545195165570\" /></a><br />Who do you think wore the Jill Stuart outfit better: Lindsay Lohan or Nia Long? I vote for Nia, she seems to fill out the dress better and I prefer black shoes with this outfit. Lindsay also looks great.<br /><br />You may not have to buy new pieces to achieve this look since most people have black and white in their closet. If you want an excuse for shopping though, there are some great options below. My favourite is the dress by BCBG Max AzrIa. A more affordable choice is the colour block dress from Victoria\'s secret.<br /><a href=\"http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_9E8gReGBThA/Rj0YSVlb93I/AAAAAAAAANY/jrvYqCxnAtU/s1600-h/blkwhit.gif\"><img src=\"http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_9E8gReGBThA/Rj0YSVlb93I/AAAAAAAAANY/jrvYqCxnAtU/s400/blkwhit.gif\" border=\"0\" alt=\"\"id=\"BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5061228259545184114\" /></a><br />A) Dannii Ruched Tie Dress $75.08 Asos.com<br />B) BCBG Max Azria Black and White Cocktail Dresses $260.00 Edressme.com<br />C) Contrast Bra Top dress $29.00 Victoriassecret.com<br />D) Colour Block Mini Dress $53.63 Asos.com<br />E) Chetta B Beaded Top Shutter Pleat Dress $460.00 Bloomingdales.com<div><img width=\"1\" height=\"1\" src=\"https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/2489186653920012809-4722857289074359271?l=styleandvogue.blogspot.com\" alt=\"\" /></div></font><br><font size=\'1\' face=\'Verdana\'><br><li><a class=\'mysite_item_lnk\' href=\'http://styleandvogue.blogspot.com/2007/05/orignal-fashions-t-shirts_09.html\' ><font size=\'1\' face=\'Verdana\'>Orignal fashions: T-shirts</font></a></li><font size=\'1\' face=\'Verdana\'> Threadless.com is a great website which I recently discovered. They have competitions which allow people to design t-shirts. The winning designs are produced and customers can purchase a unique t-shirt. The t-shirts are $15 for men and $17 for women. Hoodies are also available for $40.<br /><br /><a href=\"http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_9E8gReGBThA/RkXhPFlb-BI/AAAAAAAAAO4/_bhWKH4lUvY/s1600-h/haiku.gif\"><img src=\"http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_9E8gReGBThA/RkXhPFlb-BI/AAAAAAAAAO4/_bhWKH4lUvY/s400/haiku.gif\" border=\"0\" alt=\"\"id=\"BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5063701005361477650\" /></a><br /><br />I really love original t-shirts. It is definetly a fashion mistake to wear a logo tee. I will never understand how people are persuaded to buy expensive t-shirts that are plain except for a strategically placed company\'s logo. These shoppers are getting ripped off AND they are acting as a walking advertisement.<br /><br /><a href=\"http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_9E8gReGBThA/RkXhO1lb9_I/AAAAAAAAAOo/jzYkizTg-FI/s1600-h/bigg.gif\"><img src=\"http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_9E8gReGBThA/RkXhO1lb9_I/AAAAAAAAAOo/jzYkizTg-FI/s400/bigg.gif\" border=\"0\" alt=\"\"id=\"BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5063701001066510322\" /></a><br /><br />This t-shirt was my favourite. It would be even better if they had printed \"Biggie was right...\" above the picture. I found that a lot of a humour in the t-shirt designs comes from the title. In some cases, the significance of the picture would not be clear to someone who didn\'t know the title.<br /><br /><a href=\"http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_9E8gReGBThA/RkXhPFlb-CI/AAAAAAAAAPA/oFckplGJbTs/s1600-h/stereo.gif\"><img src=\"http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_9E8gReGBThA/RkXhPFlb-CI/AAAAAAAAAPA/oFckplGJbTs/s400/stereo.gif\" border=\"0\" alt=\"\"id=\"BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5063701005361477666\" /></a><br /><br />Typical female Vs. male stereotypes; re-enforced with the pink for girls and blue for boys.

I really prefer V-necks but for my favourite designs, I can make do with  a crew t-shirt. Wearing a shirt with interesting designs like these instantly makes a plain outfit stylish. Go for style and vogue and skip the logos Ts!<br /><br /><b> UPDATE </b><br /><a href=\"http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_9E8gReGBThA/RkcyZFlb-QI/AAAAAAAAAQw/ma_9EYdjvHk/s1600-h/design_guysanddollsnavy_01.jpg\"><img src=\"http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_9E8gReGBThA/RkcyZFlb-QI/AAAAAAAAAQw/ma_9EYdjvHk/s400/design_guysanddollsnavy_01.jpg\" border=\"0\" alt=\"\"id=\"BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5064071712578730242\" /></a><br />Guys and Dolls $15.00 Dressingthedreamers.com<br /><br />Reverie makes a t-shirt which is very similar to the treadless \"Perpetuate the stereotype\" shirt, it is called \"Guys and Dolls\".

Olive green or royal blue shirts look great with natural coloured linen pants. I recommend tucking the shirt in for this look. I did like the cuff in picture A and it would compliment this look if there were one less item in dark brown leather. Be careful not to over-accessorize.The Chelsea boots are the best item here,  This London look is extrememly fashionable right now. I love them because they are an orginal style and an alternative to the lace up dress shoes.<br /><a href=\"http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_9E8gReGBThA/RkPmnllb99I/AAAAAAAAAOY/JT6GuNdwDI8/s1600-h/classicman2.gif\"><img src=\"http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_9E8gReGBThA/RkPmnllb99I/AAAAAAAAAOY/JT6GuNdwDI8/s400/classicman2.gif\" border=\"0\" alt=\"\"id=\"BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5063143973872990162\" /></a><br />A) Mavi Jeans San Remo Linen Shirt $68.00 Macys.com<br />B) Merona belt $21.99 Target.com<br />C) Relaxed flap-pocket linen pant  $68.00 Bananarepublic.com<br />D) \'Chelsea\' pull-on boot $168.00 Bananarepublic.com<br /><br /><br />This look is casual but stylish.

The gown is just perfectly made, there isn\'t one thing I would critique about it. It is a unique style with the gold detailing and the layers of grey chiffon. She looks flawless.<br /><a href=\"http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_9E8gReGBThA/RkX07Vlb-DI/AAAAAAAAAPI/Ip7wsAMmRFc/s1600-h/camille.jpg\"><img src=\"http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_9E8gReGBThA/RkX07Vlb-DI/AAAAAAAAAPI/Ip7wsAMmRFc/s400/camille.jpg\" border=\"0\" alt=\"\"id=\"BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5063722656291616818\" /></a><br />Camilla Belle, in Gaultier Paris Haute <br /><br />I was very impressed with Ivanka Trump. She is becoming a fashion favourite for me, her dress was simple but she made it look very sexy and elegant.<br /><a href=\"http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_9E8gReGBThA/RkX071lb-GI/AAAAAAAAAPg/v_tPS1JpQBs/s1600-h/ivanka.jpg\"><img src=\"http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_9E8gReGBThA/RkX071lb-GI/AAAAAAAAAPg/v_tPS1JpQBs/s400/ivanka.jpg\" border=\"0\" alt=\"\"id=\"BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5063722664881551458\" /></a><br />Ivanka Trump, in Jason Wu.<br /><br />Jennifer Lopez almost never disappoints, she is one of my fashion icons. Here she is wearing a modified Marchesa gown. Jennifer really knows how to put a look together and dress for her body.<br /><a href=\"http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_9E8gReGBThA/RkX4Illb-KI/AAAAAAAAAQA/iHVpe0Lbuas/s1600-h/jl43.jpg\"><img src=\"http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_9E8gReGBThA/RkX4Illb-KI/AAAAAAAAAQA/iHVpe0Lbuas/s400/jl43.jpg\" border=\"0\" alt=\"\"id=\"BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5063726182459766946\" /></a><br />Jennifer Lopez in Marchesa<br /><br /><br />Lucy looks is perfect for spring in this bright purple.

It all goes so well with her new edgy bob haircut. She get top points for originality.<br /><a href=\"http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_9E8gReGBThA/RkX07Vlb-EI/AAAAAAAAAPQ/VHV1sNcIgn4/s1600-h/rihanna.jpg\"><img src=\"http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_9E8gReGBThA/RkX07Vlb-EI/AAAAAAAAAPQ/VHV1sNcIgn4/s400/rihanna.jpg\" border=\"0\" alt=\"\"id=\"BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5063722656291616834\" /></a><br />Rihanna, in Georges Chakra<br /><br />I really like Lindsay\'s gown-she is <b>always </b> high fashion. The gown suits her perfectly, it wouldn\'t look as good on someone else. My only complaint is with her hair, which looks like she did it herself in the limo five minutes before posing for this picture. I want her to go back to being a redhead, or at least a brunette. This over done orange-blonde isn\'t working.<br /><a href=\"http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_9E8gReGBThA/RkX1fVlb-II/AAAAAAAAAPw/Dedjl-hIqD8/s1600-h/lindsay_lohan.jpg\"><img src=\"http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_9E8gReGBThA/RkX1fVlb-II/AAAAAAAAAPw/Dedjl-hIqD8/s400/lindsay_lohan.jpg\" border=\"0\" alt=\"\"id=\"BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5063723274766907522\" /></a><br />Lindsay Lohan in Zac Posen<div><img width=\"1\" height=\"1\" src=\"https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/2489186653920012809-7106990708746703408?l=styleandvogue.blogspot.com\" alt=\"\" /></div></font><br><font size=\'1\' face=\'Verdana\'><br><li><a class=\'mysite_item_lnk\' href=\'http://styleandvogue.blogspot.com/2007/05/rbk-freestyle.html\' ><font size=\'1\' face=\'Verdana\'>Rbk Freestyle</font></a></li><font size=\'1\' face=\'Verdana\'> The Rbk Freestyle was originally released in 1982 and became one of Reebok\'s best selling shoes and was a fashion must-have.

At the same time it is important to buy the pieces from the same store or brand to ensure that the colours are from the same dylot and that the materials are the same.<br /><br /><br />To get the maximum value out of your suit, wear the pieces seperately.  Pair the blazer with jeans and flats for a more casual chic look. <br /><a href=\"http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_9E8gReGBThA/RnV0gV6_c1I/AAAAAAAAARw/ZuKjLjKv-rU/s1600-h/blazer.gif\"><img src=\"http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_9E8gReGBThA/RnV0gV6_c1I/AAAAAAAAARw/ZuKjLjKv-rU/s400/blazer.gif\" border=\"0\" alt=\"\"id=\"BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5077092253919310674\" /></a><br /><b>A)Cotton chino blazer $168.00 Bananarepublic.com<br />B) Striped Tube Top $15.80 Forever21.com<br />C) Seven Jeans Farrah Stretch Jean $209.00 Shopbob.com<br />D) Corso Como Jala Blue patent flats $130.00 Piperlime.com</b><br /><br />Wear the trousers with a silk blouse and open toe d\'orsay heels for a more dressy look.<br /><a href=\"http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_9E8gReGBThA/RnYBvF6_c2I/AAAAAAAAAR4/jr2ZOOlMXNM/s1600-h/pants.gif\"><img src=\"http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_9E8gReGBThA/RnYBvF6_c2I/AAAAAAAAAR4/jr2ZOOlMXNM/s400/pants.gif\" border=\"0\" alt=\"\"id=\"BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5077247538461897570\" /></a><br /><b>A)Plunging Silk Halter Top $69.00 Bebe.com<br />B)Martin chino suit trouser $78.00 Bananarepublic.com<br />C)Betsey Johnson Holden $162.00 Zappos.com<br />D)Alfani \"Genova\" Metallic Clutch $88.00 Macys.com</b><br />Often times when you buy a pair of trousers, the pockets are sewn shut. I think that if you buy trousers with pockets instead of flat front ones, it is best to leave them sewn shut.  I find that  after putting your hands in the pockets for a while, they become stretched out and the pockets look very bulky on your hips.<br /><br /><a href=\"http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_9E8gReGBThA/RnYL_16_c3I/AAAAAAAAASA/WkQVlEXXDSQ/s1600-h/BLAZERB.gif\"><img src=\"http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_9E8gReGBThA/RnYL_16_c3I/AAAAAAAAASA/WkQVlEXXDSQ/s400/BLAZERB.gif\" border=\"0\" alt=\"\"id=\"BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5077258821340984178\" /></a><br /><b>A) Corset dress in solids $75.00 Victoriassecret.com<br />B) Cotton chino blazer $168.00 Bananarepublic.com<br />C) Necessary Objects™ High Waist Pencil Skirt $42.00 Nordstrom.com<br />D) Martin chino suit short $68.00 Bananarepublic.com</b><br /><br />The jacket is the most versatile part of the suit.

She opted to pair the dress with turqouise jewellery. I think that the turquoise was a really good stylish idea, but the earrings were too much. They were too heavy.

The look is very feminine and delicate.   Hair is curled or set in loose waves and the key make-up item is red lipstick.

Since it is a very bold colour the wrong shade can look harsh, however the right shade looks  dramatic and sexy.<br /><a href=\"http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_9E8gReGBThA/Rxr4F2nuOgI/AAAAAAAAATg/L2DK_1MmcK0/s1600-h/curls.gif\"><img src=\"http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_9E8gReGBThA/Rxr4F2nuOgI/AAAAAAAAATg/L2DK_1MmcK0/s400/curls.gif\" border=\"0\" alt=\"\"id=\"BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5123680305532516866\" /></a><br /><br />Blouses with femine details such as bows and ruffles are pefect for getting the vintage look.

Grey is definetly the colour of the season. I\'m not sure how I feel about pairing grey with brown, but overall it is a good look. I find that men\'s fashions can often be repetitive, so the solution is to pay attention to detail. I choose pants which like Ne-yo\'s have some plaid detail. For the shoes I went with something daring- a grey purple crocodile embossed dress shoe. It is a subtle shade of purple but it makes the outfit look original without being outrageous.<div><img width=\"1\" height=\"1\" src=\"https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/2489186653920012809-5963014427887600379?l=styleandvogue.blogspot.com\" alt=\"\" /></div></font><br><font size=\'1\' face=\'Verdana\'><br><li><a class=\'mysite_item_lnk\' href=\'http://styleandvogue.blogspot.com/2007/10/byblos-spring-2008-rtw.html\' ><font size=\'1\' face=\'Verdana\'>Byblos Spring 2008 RTW</font></a></li><font size=\'1\' face=\'Verdana\'> Italian fashion house Byblos\' latest collection is up to the Byblos standard. While not as dramatic as their Fall 2007 collection it is equally as impressive. Byblos is luxurious, refined and stylish. The Byblos woman is always well put together. Ornate detailing is the Byblos signature. <br /><a href=\"http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_9E8gReGBThA/RyePkdxkhjI/AAAAAAAAAUI/M2eZBNo61Js/s1600-h/ORANGE.jpg\"><img src=\"http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_9E8gReGBThA/RyePkdxkhjI/AAAAAAAAAUI/M2eZBNo61Js/s400/ORANGE.jpg\" border=\"0\" alt=\"\"id=\"BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5127224557415204402\" /></a><br /><br />The fan like pleating design was the most outstanding feature of the collection.

Granted, she is in great shape, but no one over the age of 25 should be wearing a lycra catsuit. The fact that she wore this to a fundraising gala, where formal or semi-formal attire is the dress code is more shocking. I can\'t believe she tried to dress it up with her blinged out watch and cross necklace and she just had to add that gaudy Fendi bag.

The alternative to buying a new coat is warming up your winter look with expressive accessories. I wouldn\'t suggest wearing all these accesories at once. Instead buy a couple of scarves, belts and a great brooch and mix and match two pieces at a time. <br /><br /><a href=\"http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_9E8gReGBThA/Rz39TojT_wI/AAAAAAAAAXY/Q7Jh9_sLxos/s1600-h/coat.gif\"><img src=\"http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_9E8gReGBThA/Rz39TojT_wI/AAAAAAAAAXY/Q7Jh9_sLxos/s400/coat.gif\" border=\"0\" alt=\"\"id=\"BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5133537664017104642\" /></a><br /><br />The best winter accessory this season is the silk scarf. Silk scarves are more colourful and stylish than traditional knit ones.  They brigthen up your overall look. If you need the extra warmth of a traditional knit scarf, you can still get a fashionable look, by using classic patterns like hounsdtooth, plaid and animal print or even solid bright colours.<br /><a href=\"http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_9E8gReGBThA/Rz3upojT_uI/AAAAAAAAAXI/WcW0wwR9_j4/s1600-h/scarves.gif\"><img src=\"http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_9E8gReGBThA/Rz3upojT_uI/AAAAAAAAAXI/WcW0wwR9_j4/s400/scarves.gif\" border=\"0\" alt=\"\"id=\"BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5133521549299810018\" /></a><br />A) Mauve Leaf 18\"x72\" Satin Chiffon Shawl  $79.00 Deebozzz.com<br />B) Veronica Long Silk Scarves  $36.00 Belsi.com<br />C)Houndstooth scarf $49.50 Bananarepublic.com<br /><br /><a href=\"http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_9E8gReGBThA/Rz3um4jT_sI/AAAAAAAAAW4/6zJiJuaSGB0/s1600-h/belts.gif\"><img src=\"http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_9E8gReGBThA/Rz3um4jT_sI/AAAAAAAAAW4/6zJiJuaSGB0/s400/belts.gif\" border=\"0\" alt=\"\"id=\"BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5133521502055169730\" /></a><br />Corset belts with buckle detail are a flattering trend.

Former Supermodel Iman, is an entertaining host who understands design. The competion has highlighted some wonderful Canadian talent. <br /><br /><a href=\"http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_9E8gReGBThA/Rz-l64jT_zI/AAAAAAAAAXw/cNOdFBsTjZ8/s1600-h/lucian.gif\"><img src=\"http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_9E8gReGBThA/Rz-l64jT_zI/AAAAAAAAAXw/cNOdFBsTjZ8/s400/lucian.gif\" border=\"0\" alt=\"\"id=\"BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5134004531257147186\" /></a><br />Lucian is a designer who is originally from Romania, but he has settled in Canada. With his exquiste tailoring, he has been my favourite designer throughout the competition. He has been critiqued for too much embellishment, but he has a distinctive style that you either love or hate. I personally love it. He is a perfectionist, whose work is always feminine and haute couture. <br /><br /><a href=\"http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_9E8gReGBThA/Rz-l7YjT_0I/AAAAAAAAAX4/T9IG22iTlRA/s1600-h/shernett.gif\"><img src=\"http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_9E8gReGBThA/Rz-l7YjT_0I/AAAAAAAAAX4/T9IG22iTlRA/s400/shernett.gif\" border=\"0\" alt=\"\"id=\"BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5134004539847081794\" /></a><br />Shernett Swaby is a successful designer who has her own line and store \"Swaby\". She is the most focused designer on the show She is extremely determined to win, and I think she could pose a serious threath to Lucian. Her casual outfits are always wearable and stylish. However, her eveningwear tends to be too theatrical and not very flattering.<br /><br /><a href=\"http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_9E8gReGBThA/Rz-lm4jT_yI/AAAAAAAAAXo/wLrN8XCdMEg/s1600-h/carlie.gif\"><img src=\"http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_9E8gReGBThA/Rz-lm4jT_yI/AAAAAAAAAXo/wLrN8XCdMEg/s400/carlie.gif\" border=\"0\" alt=\"\"id=\"BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5134004187659763490\" /></a><br />Despite Megan\'s sloppy tailoring and unimaginative design she has continued to be passed through each stage of the competion at the expense of talented designers. On the 6th episode, Carlie was let go for poor execution of her design. This was very disappointing. I had picked Carlie to be one of the top three.<br /><br /><a href=\"http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_9E8gReGBThA/Rz-kUYjT_xI/AAAAAAAAAXg/7G_5Xmnie2I/s1600-h/bidell.gif\"><img src=\"http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_9E8gReGBThA/Rz-kUYjT_xI/AAAAAAAAAXg/7G_5Xmnie2I/s400/bidell.gif\" border=\"0\" alt=\"\"id=\"BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5134002770320555794\" /></a><br />In place of Carlie, my next choice is Bidell. He has a street style, which reminds me of former Project Runway winner Jeffery Sebelia. He is a very fast worker, who does a lot of creative designs.
