Every so often the jean jacket makes a comeback, and this year seems to be one of those years. Cropped denim jackets

Chloe Sevigny Denim Jacket

are popping up again on celebrity frames from Reese Witherspoon to Jessica Simpson. Reese’s short print dress with a classic denim jacket is paired perfectly with aviators and famed fedora, and is a great casual look for day-time get-together.

On the other hand, Chloe Sevigny makes her denim jacket more modern with the jacket hem at her waist, and short gathered camoflauge dress. Both the jacket and the dress hug Chloe at her waist making a great focal point. With the basic clean solid colors Chloe makes the jean jacket slightly sophisticated.

jackets arent just for female celebs. Zac Efron has been seen sporting denim on denim recently in Tinseltown. Normally, denim on denim is not a good mix, but black rinse jeans with a classic denim blue jacket makes a good match and gives it a rocker edge.

If you dont have your denim jacket from a few seasons ago, or just need a fresh updated piece,

Urban Cowgirl fashion

Giddy up girls, this week The Cut Reports that, “Wendy Nichol is three seasons into her eponymous line and can already count Scarlett Johansson and models Kim Noorda and Elizabeth Jagger among her many fans.

Not too shabby, considering she is completely self-taught. Following a four-year stint as a buyer and designer at Club Monaco, Nichol left to pursue her own label, which debuted in fall ‘08. Her first collection was a mix of tough leather cuffs, feminine pearl necklaces, and delicate rings, all accented with her now-trademark studs. Nichol’s youngest daughter, Sofia, served as the look-book model, glammed up with red lips and perfecting a pose worthy of a Jurgen Teller–shot Little Marc ad. Nichol shopped the pieces around and landed at Brooklyn’s Bird.

Fast forward a year later and the likes of Bergdorf and Barneys Co-op are stocking the ever-expanding line, which now also includes bags. Citing cowboys and Native Americans as her main inspiration, Nichol’s fall collection consists of fringed clutches and horsehair-accented jewelry named after chiefs and princess, outlaws, and notable cowboys and cowgirls. The addition of chains and spikes toughen up Western-inspired pieces, giving it a slick urban vibe. Prices begin at $100 for small studded earrings and top out at $700 for a large fringed saddle bag, with all items sourced and constructed locally. Check out some of our favorite looks from her line.”

These remind me of a classier version of a Cowboys/Indians party I went to freshman year at college. Emphasis on classier.

Well Ms. Nichols’ fabulous pieces may set you back a penny or two, I found some great mock-offs that are recession and fashion friendly.

How about this leather and stone necklace from – Tar- zjay?

Yes mam, that is just a little more than a frozen yogurt and a Coke Zero.

FASHION BY THE RULES

There is an interesting partnership that is made up of a fashion designer and a music producer/performer, and together they have forged a company that yields merchandise as varied as ear pods and dresses. The common thread is music.

Val Kolton is the musical half of the duo who has devoted himself to the brand and its varied products while Terri King has dressed everyone from the Rolling Stones to Nine Inch Nails. Both bring their rock mentality to the products and both provide an undeniably distinctive look, whether it is a hat, ear buds or dress.

The apparel collection which is for both for men and women suggests that rocker look without being too over the top, meaning you don’t have to be a rocker to look like one. The men’s collection is punctuated with wonderful white shirts and T shirts worn on their own or with terrifically fitted jackets with zap details as well as an exaggerated fit. The ladies scream sexy by what the clothes suggest and not reveal – leather inserts, slash details and corsetry work in dresses and tops. Make no mistake that these clothes draw attention to their owners and certainly turn you into the rocker you are or the rocker you ‘wannabe.”

A word of thanks to MAO pr for allowing me to make use of their clients for these columns and do not forget to catch the entire V-MODA look and philosophy on their web site V-MODA.com and as always you can keep up with me on Facebook and http://jeffybruce.blogspot.com/. See you next week.

Maxi Fashion

Summer Maxi Dress

Hot and then cold. Sometimes weather can creep up on you no matter how much you check the forecast. So you want to be prepared when the sun goes away that you still remain stylish, yet cozy. The ever-trendy maxi dress has proven to be more than just a comfort summer trend. Its been seen on celebrities such as Nicole Richie and Mary-Kate Olsen for months, the long dress is back and better than ever with a variety of shades, prints, patterns, cuts, and material.

With an unfamiliar name, the Maxi dress is typically a floor or ankle

length less-formal dress that is formfitting at the top and loose flowing at the bottom, cut to flow over the body. This summer maxi dresses are best paired with gladiator sandals or summer wedges and also make a perfect summer vacation outfit. Many of the long dresses have been deemed to be “bohemian” but this is not always the case. Maxi dresses can be styled according to your personality, as some of the basic solid styles are canvases open to interpretation with accessories such as bangles, charm bracelets, stud earrings, headbands, and metallic necklaces. Many dresses that incorporate a pattern such as paisley, tie-dye, or floral should be accessorized-down – (meaning hold off the the gobs of jewelry) to not take away from the dress.

If things get chilly in your neighborhood at the beach or when the sun goes down, make sure to bring along a light scarf or cardigan to cover your shoulders. The scarf is perfect if you don’t want to bear a cardi, but cardigans work best for warmth if the temperature tends to dip dramatically after dusk. The best thing to do, is keep a neutral cardigan with you, such as gray, black, off-white, or beige so that no matter which dress you choose your basic cardigan will compliment it. With one or two simple accessories you can easily adjust to different weather factors from day to night.

This month we’ve seen a great variety of maxi dresses worn on Angelina Jolie and Miranda Kerr and

mommies-to-be, Heidi Klum and Ellen Pompeo. Each celeb showcases a different dress cut, pattern, and fabric to meet their body type. Miranda Kerr blends both solid and prints into her dress while accentuating her waist with a braided leather belt. Paired with metallic sandals, Miranda keeps accessories to a minimum since the later half of her dress has such a bold print.

Angelina’s chocolate strapless dress is ever-so simple, yet classy as the silk fabric adds sheen and glamour to her look without any extra additives. This is a perfect look to throw on when the summer day is warming up as it doesn’t require much fuss. Both Heidi and Ellen chose maxi dresses that have empire waist seams to highlight their torsos, making them comfortable and versatile from warm to cooler weather.

To find which maxi dress is right for you for the rest of the summer months, explore the many options in our fashion widget. Don’t forget to make the dress your own with your favorite jewelry, shoes, headgear, and outerwear.

What is swishing?

Have you ever heard of swishing and do not know what it is? For in Urban Women will tell you what this trend as original.

The swishing is the name given to trade fairs in which attendees wear their clothes that no longer use and change clothes or accessories for leading others. This is a trend that comes from the northern hemisphere and has been very successful, especially among women.

In short, it would be fair as a great American but in which no money is handled, but clothes and accessories are exchanged among attendees.

Anyone can apply the swishing organizing a fair at home and using social networks like Facebook and Twitter to call friends and friends ready to renew your wardrobe.

Some key swishing:

    * You can organize the fair in your own home and invite all your friends and acquaintances.

    * You will need tables, hanging racks and where all the clothing exchange has. Do not forget to put mirrors.

    * Distributes products by type: all the dresses together, accessories, shoes, etc. So the fair will be more organized.

    * Ensures product quality when making the invitations, that every person carries fair quantity of garments in good condition (healthy, clean and ironed).

    * When attendees arrive at the meeting, have all the clothes and accessories on the tables and the exchange that does not begin until all guests have arrived and everyone has equal chances to get what they want.

The swishing can be an excellent option to renew your wardrobe and have a great time among friends. Try it!

How to use accessories in the correct way?

The accessories are the complement of our attire. But used the wrong way can turn a great costume at the worst fashion mistake.

For example, do not exaggerate with the necklaces. Keep the simplicity and style.

    * The earrings are a must. From the simple short, bright, with applications stones, long ... everyone is fine. Choose between them Based on the colors of your clothes.
    * The rings are also a basic accessory. Just do not abuse them and avoid looking like a biker tough.
    * Try to achieve a delicate style, subtle. When it comes to bracelets maximum 3 per doll used if the type of bracelet allows. If no chain bracelets with a flap or stone applications are well alone. Use multiple bracelets out of fashion, make lots of noise and is impractical.
    * Treat your accessories accent your outfit. For example, if you're using a pair of jeans and a polo or purple top, enhanced with a purple stone necklace that color. If you're using more than one color, then your accessories should be balanced. And if you're black and blue accessories then you must use blue and black alike to avoid look bad.

But most important to use accessories is that if you do not like do not use them, no matter how fashionable they are.
