TT: FLANNELS

Flannel's became popular in the 90's due to Nirvana and the Seattle grunge scene. With the flannel being so versatile they were worn in every which way; around the waist, unbuttoned over t-shirts or tucked into belted jeans or shorts. Isn't it amazing the way fashion works? The way trends come and go every year. Well, I couldn't be more thrilled to see this one come back around. As it makes its way back, designers are obsessed with faux-flannel plaid print and it was proven on the runway this year on everything from shirts to jackets to skirts, etc. As you can see with designers such as Tadashi Shoji and Costello Tagliapietra.

Here are a few other examples of celebs showing us how they wear their flannels in this day & age...

Now go in your closet and whip out those old flannels because no matter how you style them, they rock!

Throwback Thursday - Are You Jelly?

We will be throwing it way back today! Who remembers wearing jelly shoes as a little girl? I know I do! Who could forget the excitement of wearing their first pair of jellies! These sandals were popular back in the 1980's-1990's. For those of you who may not remember them, they were totally awesome, but don't worry about having missed out because their comeback will be even more rad than before. They came sparkly, classic black, platformed, glow in the dark, neon and even a heeled jelly. People wore them to the beach or paired them with some wicked overalls. They were my favorite sandals to wear and they are making a comeback this Spring/Summer 2014. Designers such as Madison Harding & Sophia Webster have done a great job recreating the jelly sandal with their new, chic and fun colored styles. You can style them with your favorite summer dress, a pair of high wasted shorts, a crop top with a flannel tied around the waste or even a pair of jeans. So girls, get ready to be inspired by your childhood memories of the jellies, yet in a whole new way!
