Rise and Shine!!! Metallics and Mini Dresses are back with a vengeance. The trend this season is sexy shine. As pictured Kim Kardashian and Elisa Dushku are showing us great examples of this trend done right. Forever 21 and AmericanApparel have some great alternatives we can all afford.
When choosing metallics there are a few things to consider:
1. The type of material of the garment-Fabrics with shine if not chosen wisely can come across as low quality(cheap). To prevent this, try the item on first. Is there a stretch to the fabric or do you just look like roll of aluminum foil?
2. No Shine Overload-I am all for glitz but sometimes there can be too much. If you are going to incorporate shine into your ensemble, please use discretion. Do not ever wear this fabric as a top and bottom. The fashion police will be called immediately. Choose one garment and stick to it.
3. Have Fun-Metallics are all about fun and making statement. So OWN IT AND BE FIERCE.

Draped Silhouettes are a classic trend that has transcended through time. The grecian inspired garment is a modernized remake of the toga. Draping is a great way to create illusion to a womans body to hide some unwanted imperfections. In the September Issue of Instyle Magazine, they gave some great examples to take the inspiration from runway to real life. Below are some great alternative for less.

Headbands are a great way to accessorize and add character to your ensemble. Just your basic headband will not do anymore, the ornament headband is here to stay. I enjoy the different styles, there is one for every girl. You have everything from the inner flower child to the sophisticated lady. So whatever your style will be there is a headband with your name on it.

Whitney Port by far is one of my favorite fashionista of all time. Her style has just the right mix of classic yet some trendworthy looks. I am a huge fan of "THE CITY". I love to watch and see the new elements of fashion that only they can give. This edition of Seen In Action is showcasing the Tyrant shoe by
TopShop.
The sneaker/skipper has a great edge with the studded accents. For ONLY $40 they can be yours. I COVET THEM HARD!!! I am glad they are so affordable. They are now only avaliable in the purple and white.

The Dolman sleeve is created with a loose drpaery that is draped under the pit of the arm. It was a "batwing" look to the sleeves. This style is a great item for any women's wardrobe, it leads the eye away from the body. The dolman is great for comfort and figure friendly.

I discovered my next seen in action on
Chictopia. A user by the name of
Playingwithfire created a great fall look with the abstract mini from
Forever 21. A peep toe shoe is great to transition from summer to fall with some knee high stocking as pictured below. This is a great play on conservative/sexy. The skirt from Forever 21 is only $15.80. It is not available in black and white anymore.

Ladies fall is here. September 22nd was the first official day of the fall season. It's time to store away those summer florals. What a shame :(
Taking inventory of your closet is now key for a great fall transition. Store away the items that you plan on keeping for next season and for the items that are still in good shape but to you have run their course, think about selling them for some type of profit. Again Mr. Sethi over at Iwillteachyoutoberich.com gave great information on how to sell items on a site like ebay and generate substantial revenue.
I personally have not used ebay yet to sell any items but I do plan on doing this in the near future. The insight from this article really made me somewhat understand the concept of ebay. I was very intimidated by the amount of items listed and would it be a waste of my time to list. Mr. Sethi give some strategies and methods on how to list you items and make your items more ebay search friendly. So break out the digital camera it's out with the old in with the new. They say what is another man's trash is another man's treasure, so start digging.
