Support the Troops - Buy Something Cute!, Couture in the City Fashion Blog

Posted on 29 June 2007 by Angelique

For those fashionistas who don’t have $475 to cough up for a Cartier bracelet, there is another way to show your true colors - and do something good for others - this 4th of July.

To commemorate the July 4th holiday, Unsungdesigners.com will donate 100% of the proceeds from the sale of a special limited edition collection of Circa 63 vintage Lucite bangles to the Fisher House™ Foundation.

Unsungdesigners.com
– the online boutique featuring clothing and accessories by the fashion industry’s most talented independent designers – has teamed with accessories designer Danielle Insetta of Circa 63 to offer red, white, and blue bangles originally made for America’s bicentennial to support Fisher House. Fashion and patriotism - past and present - come together in this five-bangle set saluting the nation’s independence and those who ensure its future. The bangles, which retail for $80, were created for fashion labels such as Trifari and Diane von Furstenberg in the mid-70s.

Fisher House Foundation supports America’s military by providing a home away from home for family members during hospitalization for an illness, disease or injury. Because military families are stationed worldwide and must often travel great distances for specialized medical care, Fisher House Foundation donates “comfort homes,” built on the grounds of major military and VA medical centers. Annually, the Fisher House program serves more than 8,500 families, and has made available more than two million days of lodging to family members since the program originated in 1990.

The sale will last through July, or until the limited edition sets are sold out.

*Know your body – Know your proportions – be honest and true to yourself.

*If you have a tendency to gain wait in your mid section – try a higher leg – do not do any boy shorts – Also a little higher bottom that might cover the tummy area a little will work well. – Tankinis are always a good choice.
*If you have a larger chest – Try not to buy your swimsuit to big – Try something that fills the cup but has smaller straps – Will make you look more proportional.
*If you have a smaller chest less is more – and if you are looking to enhance – the jelly cups are always a good alternative.
*If you are a little more self conscience and want a one piece – shirring and rouging always works well.
*If you like prints but don’t feel comfortable with an all over one piece print – Many manufactures offer a trendy leopard print just as the trim – So it gives you a fashion edge with out standing out too much.

Shop LisaCurranSwim.com for the perfect swimsuit this summer!

Say It Ain’t So…The Return of Boho?

Posted on 26 June 2007 by Wendy O

The writing is on the wall…flowy Stevie Nicks-inspired crepe dresses, tiny leather vests…we are only one celebrity sighting of cowboy boots away from the official return of boho chic. Oh yes, it’s on it’s way, although it may not be named as it was a few years ago, or may be called, like, hippie couture. Whatever.

While overly flowing dresses, tunics, headbands and cowboy boots with evening dresses may not be your deal, I can still see the appeal of this look. It’s casual, it’s comfortable…it’s kind of fabulous. I think that I can live with a minor return of some of the elements of boho, in moderation of course.

If you aren’t afraid to be the first on your block to bring back this in and out style again, then check out this super cute bag from Jaeei Handbags…fabulous fringe and details on this handmade leather bag are just what ever fashionista is looking for in the latest it bag. Long accent scarf optional.

Graphic tees, and tees in general, are making a big comeback in the fashion world. After a long hiatus due to the popularity of 80’s influenced tops and boho chic tunics (aren’t we glad fashion is a revolving door?) tee’s are back on top on the streets and on the red carpet.

Last week, many celebs were snapped wearing the OmniPeace tee (seen on Naomi Campbell, Courtney Cox and more), marrying social awareness with fashion. This tee, designed by Signorelli, supports the OmniPeace anti-poverty campaign.

Make a graphic statement of your own with a tee from Urbane Couture …these tees marry art+fashion+comfort to create a look you won’t find at the mall.
