StyleQ: Practically Your Own Stylist

Chelsea Rae Simmons | Fashion,News,Skirts | Tuesday, 18 August 2009
Pink Rock Candy, Style Q, Banded Zipper Skirt by Nuj, bodycon skirt I was reading Daily 10 stylist Monica Rose‘s blog the other day and she posted about a website called StyleQ. It is a newly launched webstore that “[offers] unprecedented access to the hottest looks worn by the most fashionable celebrities.” They also invite celebrity stylists to create a lookbook for them in the aesthetic of said stylist.

Monica Rose, who also styles Kim and Khloe Kardashian, was the first celeb stylist to be selected to create a Stylist Lookbook for StyleQ. “I actually went to NY and became a buyer for the clothes that they would sell on their site. Everything I choose are items that I would put on my clients,” said Monica.

You may be able to purchase every specially picked item in Monica’s lookbook, but it was a skirt that wasn’t in the stylist’s lookbook that really caught my eye.

I haven’t lusted over a skirt in a while, at least as far as I remember, which is about last night, so it must be fate that this ‘Banded Zipper Skirt’ by Nuj popped onto my computer screen. I generally don’t like mixing too many trends in one piece of clothing, but the bodycon bandage style works so well with exposed zippers I can complain about the über-trendiness.

p.s. My runner-up skirt lust is the ‘Basketweave Skirt’ by Thread Social ($375).

Guys in Skinnies, I Don’t Mind

Chelsea Rae Simmons | Around the Blog Scene,Bottoms,Fashion,Men's Fashion,Pants | Tuesday, 04 August 2009

The other day, I was making an impromptu Taco Bell run with a friend of mine, and he was commenting on how he has noticed a lot of guys wearing skinny jeans, of late. He then asked what I thought of guys in skinny jeans. After a slight pause, and a ponderous “Ummmm,” I gave the most uninspired of uninspiring answers, “I don’t mind it.”

That was the truth! I don’t mind guys wearing skinny jeans. Being a fan of emo bands, whose members have been following the go-skinny-or-go-home rule for as long as I’ve liked them, has most likely jaded my impression of the look. I could walk past a guy wearing pants so tight my parents and grandparents would undoubtedly question his sexuality, but I wouldn’t give it a second glance.

Apparently the people at Bluefly’s Flypaper blog have been noticing this trend too, because they’ve had not one but two posts about male skinnies in the past 5 months, the latest of which is a video of Fashion PR’s HBIC, Kelly Cutrone, running around NYC asking random hotties about their snug bottoms.

After watching the video, I may still be unfazed by the onslaught of men wearing tight jeans, but I now know where all the hot guys are hiding in NYC!

Before you cast your vote on the guys wearing skinny jeans trend, here’s some food for thought, thanks to the Flypaper blog:

“1. Skinny jeans are a great way [for guys] to show off spanking new sneakers — especially hightops.
2. Many guys can’t wear their skinnies without a fedora. It seems they just feel naked without one on. To a lesser extent, they must have on a vest or kerchief too.
3. They must be worn with a belt— unless you mean to let everyone know your thong matches your sneaker’s fat laces.
4. No matter how skinny they are on a dude, they will still look like boyfriend jeans on a girl.”

It’s in the Jeans

Chelsea Rae Simmons | Ad Campaigns,Bottoms,Fashion,Pants | Wednesday, 22 July 2009
Pink Rock Candy, Georgia May Jagger, Hudson Jeans ad When I see denim ads like this Georgia May Jagger, 17, fronted one for Hudson Jeans, I can’t help but to wonder whether people think jeans are so sexy because gorgeous girls like Georgia are scantily clad while featured in their ads or because they’re just damn sexy.

I’d like to think that jeans are sexy because they can give your tush the perfect curve, and if they have a bit of spandex will also give you a bit of lift and tighten. A good pair of jeans can be like plastic surgery without the anesthesia, cutting, or 4-6 week recovery time.

However, this positive thinking did begin while looking at little Miss Georgia of Famous-Last-Name— she’s the daughter of the statuesque Jerry Hall and his rock majesty, Mick Jagger. Perhaps, my eyes are all starry and my heads in an optimistic fog from staring at celebuspawn because I don’t know if normal girls can actually look jean ad amazing?

I hope we can. I know advertisements are meant to make you believe you’ll look that good wearing said clothes, but I’m going to believe in the power of optimism. Every time I put on a pair of jeans, I’m going to act like I look as hot as Georgia. Mind of matter, baby. Mind over matter!

Leave it to Topshop

Anthropologie Love Rejuvenated

Chelsea Rae Simmons | Accessories,Bottoms,Dresses,Fashion,Tops | Monday, 29 June 2009

I used to love heading to the Anthropologie website to find my latest skirt obsession— they have gorgeous skirts— but, until recently, Anthropologie has fallen to the wayside. About a month, or so, ago I bought a great dress and necklace from the Anthros store around the corner from me. Now, my obsession for the the store has bee rejuvenated.

The clothes are all very well made and super chic. These are my newest loves from Anthros!
