Hey Readers!
I have a new blog now! Fashion Freak-Out; http://fashionfreak-out.blogspot.com/! I hope you keep reading my posts on my new blog!
Cheers!

I love fall! It is my favorite season. I love the leaves and Thanksgiving (which is sometimes my birthday) and of course the clothes!!

Alright! Colors, what I love to see in fall clothes is lots of rich colors like milk and dark chocolate, and what I call the rainy day colors; gray, black and navy. Then of course deep burnt oranges and medium to dark reds.

I love blazers in the fall weather, they can easily turn a plain outfit into a pulled together one that will give a great impression. Plus peppy is in. Add a pair of blue jeans and a lightweight scarf and you are so ready for any thing that is coming your way.

Bags, Leather or pleather (pleather is plasic leather) are great for this season. Be sure to have a very clean and chic bag that will not over power your outfits. I love Vespa for a big messager bag. They are very classic and will totally work with a blazer and a pair of jeans (see post on Vespa).

Shoes, boots for outdoorand indoor but flats for just indoor. I love Uggs for outdoor and indoor shoes. I love the dark chocolate colored ones because they minimize dirt and look awesome with both cordoroys and jeans (for fall dark jeans rock).

Enjoy!!

Here is another present my mom brought back from Paris for me! These bags are all the rage there. I love the classic look and it has a very clean feel about it.  This bag will be perfect for fall! The red is a great fall color!

I would pair this with a tissue turtleneck (lightweight turtleneck),  navy to dark chocolate colored blazer and dark blue skinny jeans and for shoes;  milk chocolate Uggs or brown to dark red flats.

Both of these pictures were found at: http://www.leathershop.com.au/cross-body/210-vespa-black-satchel-.html

You can also buy them at that URL.

My parents went to Paris this month.  I was sad that I wasn’t going but happy because I knew my Mom would get some great clothes for me to post about and wear! She never let me down. I would like to introduce you to the 2010 It- Bandana! The colors and designs are amazing, they really are the cutest bandana I have ever seen! All thanks to the designer Fifi Mandirac!

After my mother gave me this very chick and cool piece of clothing, I disided to vist Fifi Mandirac’s website. It is quite cool and just as colorfull as those great bandanas. I found her email on the site and emailed her, saying how I liked her bandanas and wished to post on them and also asked where could I find some pictures to put on as well. I got a reply a few days later, giving me some URLs to choose and a short note, from Fifi Mandirac herself!!!

These are really cool scarves!

All right guys! It’s finally here! TWEEN BOYS CLOTHING! This is big. Anyway I was asked to do this post by my teacher, who also gave me this blog. At first ( no joke) I thought it was a crazy idea. How could I, a blogger who wrote posts about clothes and cosmetics write about BOYS!? They do not wear lipgloss or dresses and skirts, what on earth would I write? But thanks to my friend Katharine I was able to complete this post- alive.  So enjoy and be sure to comment and tell me what you think!  Plus if you like it, please write if I should do one per season, because I am thinking about that.

What is a Chumby? A Chumby is just another tech device only it’s unique design makes it different from all the rest ( I would not post on it if it was not impressive). I first learned about Chumby when looking through a magazine and thought it was interesting and decided to learn more. Then for the end of the year for school my group decided it would be cool to do a project on the Chumby! I was very happy with this project ( as was my group) , so happy in fact, I decided to share it with you. Here is the link to the project: click here.

This was not only made by me, Cassidy and Skylar made it too!      ( This below is a designer Chumby)

Everyone I know loves cardigans! They are very easy to wear and can really complete an outfit. They can be easily change from preppy to laid back in no time at all. My number 1 choice by far is J.Crew. They make the perfect cardigans, in the best colors and designs! Pick some up before a summer vacation and you will have numerous outfits to wear in the summer sun!

These are the ones that I love (a lot) from Crewcuts, J.Crews kids selection. Note: they run up to size 14 for kids.

All top companies have a story about their rise to fame, some are glorious and some are dull. But a few are so perfect in everything they do that you can’t help but smile and nod, thinking “Wow that it how it is done”. That is the story of Fresh, a health and beauty company that was truly done right, and worked it’s way to the spot light, not by luck, but with creativity and class.

The co-founders, Alina Roytberg and Lev Glazman, married 9 months after meeting . Alina Roytberg was born in 1961, in the Ukraine. In the mid 1970s, with anti-Semitism on the rise, her family left the Ukraine and moved to Brookline, Massachusetts. She went to Parsons School of Design, worked for Anne Klein, then Kasper. Lev Glazman was born in 1961, and lived the first year of his life in Russia. When coming to Israel, with his mother to seek better life, he remembered going into the duty-free shops and wandering, smelling all of the different fragrances. “I was obsessed by how a fragrance can set the heart pounding,” he said to People.

Aafter owning a luxury dry cleaning business, they borrowed $10,000 dollars to start a boutique called Nuts About Beauty, selling imported natural beauty products. After visiting Europe to look into various manufacturers of body-care products, they studied ingredients and products and decided to create their own soaps.

The soaps were on the market in the early 1990′s. Each soap was hand labeled and wrapped. Soon, Barney’s New York ordered a shipment of their scented soaps, and and sold out within a couple of days. As the company grew, so did the amount of products they sold, and the way they presented them; Roytbergdesigned the packaging that that made Fresh different than any other company. The Petite Soaps come inside inlaid cotton paper, which is hand-tied with a silver wire and a semiprecious gem. The bath comes in an old-fashioned milk bottle. Bath powders come in the shape of sugar cubes. In 2000 they joined LVMH, a French luxury-goods maker, who also works with brands like Louis Vuitton, that brought them more presence, globally.

As you can see, this company not only made it to the top with class and creativity, but also with their love for fashion and scents. Fresh is truly a company that shows you put your mind to something anything can happen. I have always loved fashion and scents since I was little; when the coolest thing in the world was raiding my mother’s closet, or when she let me wear her perfume. I hope to find myself in the fashion industry, but now I know I must work for what I want, and look at things, like Lev Glazman and Alina Roytberg with a fresh eye.

I was reading an old copy of Domino magazine when I stumbled on a URL that just about made my day; a company in France that sells clothes for girls! And it is made for girls ages 10-14! It is major cool! Not just the clothes, but the website gives a great first impression (see below for link)!  Note: you have got to click on English when visiting the site or it will be in French! And the clothes are sure to impress even the pickiest shopper!
