Current Fashion Do's: Boyfriend Blazers and Nude Pumps

DO: Boyfriend Blazers

I have always been a fan of the blazer. They can be dressed up or down depending upon what you wear underneath and with the right cut they can be extremely forgiving when you are not feeling your slenderist. The boyfriend blazer is longer than the traditional female blazer and slightly messier, typically with a rolled cuff. I purchased the blazer pictured above on Dakota Fanning at Zara on my last trip to Boston. Zara has an excellent selection of boyfriend blazers, with most of them priced under $100. Unfortunately, Zara does not have a store in the C-bus, nor can you order from them online yet. However, you can do a charge send (i.e., call the store, give them your credit card over the phone, and have the item shipped to you). Another nice option for the edgier girl is the studded collar blazer pictured above also from Zara.
DO: Nude Pumps

What color shoe can you wear with red, yellow, orange, black, brown, and navy (and any other color for that matter)? Nude! I am loving this new trend as seen above on Kim Kardashian wearing a pair of Christian Louboutin nude peep-toe pumps. Not only does the color go with every outfit you put on, but because the color blends in with the skin, it helps to elongate the line of your leg making you look longer and leaner. I recently purchaed the above pair of Jessica Simpson "Lizza" peep-toe pumps for $89.00. While you definitely can't run a marathon in them due to the sky high heel and the stacked platform, they are great for adding immediate sex appeal to any outfit you put on.
