The Best Trench Coats for Spring

by fh on April 29, 2009 · 2 comments

trenchcoatscelebrity1Trench coats continue to be as popular as always this spring.  Seen in various shapes, styles, and colors on numerous celebrities, they are functional, convenient and stylish.

A trench coat is perfect to wear during transitional weather: whether the weather is gearing up to get warm or cold, but isn’t there yet.

A trench coat is also incredibly versatile and works equally well with casual and dressy attire.

Personally, the Hippo prefers fitted and elegant styles (got to show off that fine figure:) and classy colors: beige, grey, sand for versatility.

This season take your pick from a confetti of styles: fitted, free flowing, ruffled, asymmetrical, belted, buttoned,  zippered, simple or embellished.

Here are a few picks for every price category:

Savy Fashionista ($100 or Less):

1.Triple Five Soul – IQ Trench (Khaki)
2.Ted Baker – Kyree (Grey Steel) – Apparel
3.Ben Sherman – Bisset Trench (Chalk White)
4. French Connection – Casino Cotton Trench (Black/Cub)

The Cage Sandals vs. the Gladiators

by fh on April 24, 2009 · 0 comments

The spring and summer shoe trend is all about the Gladiator Shoe, but there is also another trend that overlaps with the Gladiator, but is much more elegant.  It is the Cage Sandal (some of the styles below would make very artsy and creative cages).

The style is sexy, interesting, and adds interest and character to an outfit.  The cage shoe style also works well with many types of outfits: casual, evening, and dressy casual.  Wear with jeans and a sexy top, short evening dress to show off the leg, or a flowing summer dress.

Here are a few styles the Hippo likes:

Sandals & Platforms (sometimes Platform Sandals):
Calvin Klein - Nixee (Ivory Satin) - FootwearEnzo Angiolini - Felissa (Pewter Kid Leather) - Footwear

GUESS - Genovieve (Black Patent Leather) - FootwearNine West - Kentaro (Black/Black Leather) - Footwear

Joan & David - Bartola (Medium Natural Leather) - FootwearIsabella Fiore - Pistol (Chocolate) - Footwear

Enzo Angiolini - Gessica (Black Leather) - FootwearSteve Madden - Fantastc (Rust Leather) - Footwear

Wedges:

O Oscar, An Oscar de la Renta Co. - O-Celeste (Cream) - FootwearKenneth Cole New York - Media Hype (Espresso) - Footwear

bloomstate

Perfectly synchronized with the Earth Day, Target unveiled Loomstate organic line.   Created by eco-conscious designer Rogan Gregory and friend Scott MacKinlay Hahn, the collection consists of 100% organic cotton. 

The company  is known for creating organic and earth friendly casual wear: t shirts and jeans.  The line is sold at cream-de-la-cream stores like Barney and Bloomingdale and pieces ranges from $60 to high $200.

Loomstate for Target is created with the consideration for environment and cost : pieces range from $15 to $45.
The pieces are made from 100% organic cotton.  The style is casual chic, I especially like the t-shirts and dresses with cool graphics and details, such as buttons, and great cuts that Rogan Gregory is known for in his upscale line.

The line is create for men and women and is available online and in 250 stores countrywide. (Check Target for specific locations that carry the line).   Target is offerring free shipping on orders of $50.

The Hippo is stacking up on a few fun pieces before they sell out.  Specifically, these:

Rabbit Tank
bunnies-t-shirt

Dolphin Tee
