Okay. Women are always meant to be in dresses, but there are 3 rules to dress Really-in-Style-ly.

1. Minimalism (remember the previous post several days ago?)
2. Jewel Dresses (okay, we’ve talked about that, here)
3. Black romance (punk, goth, grunge, ring the bell?)

Sick and tired of blackness and, err, bad attitude? Or maybe you don’t have lace tights? All okay. You can choose jewel tones dresses. All you need is bow, drape, ruffles or frills on them, and you are ready to go! Yes, no need of studded or spiky cuffs, we promise :D

Beside warmth, neck needs something else this season, for example: full attention. Collar gives more warmth, but these catchy pendants will surely give the All-Eyes-on-You effect.

Okay. So punk is back, with grunge, goth, and (not so) bad attitude. Well, it doesn’t really mean Mohawk hairdo. All you need is take a peek at Avril Lavigne (you can leave the eyeliner part anyway), but if you think she’s too much into combination of dark skull and Paris Hilton, or you just hate her music (not your fault), here are some key words:

1. plaid
2. studded
3. spike
4. black lace

It sounds bleak. Not wrong. After floral patterned dresses last spring, the trend turns to punk, gothic, grunge, and anything, err, bad. Well, look at the (not so) bright side: you can let the lace tights out of your wardrobe.

So much preparation have been done for Fall as if Summer is only a nickname of “Holiday! Where are my bikinis?”

However, the Fall is really coming, and based on the online version of Vogue there are 6 points for this fall: 1. belle curves Style that was so poular in the forties: the waist is the spotlight!

1. country life Plaid and tweed, as usual, are always brought for warmth and style to the city.

2. the long view From mid-calf to floor-grazing. Yes, sure. Summer is over. No further explanation needed.

3. minimalist tendency “Less is more” is not an absolute philosophy on the runway (well, nothing is really ‘abolute’ in fashion), but this season, as quoted from Style.com, “even fanciful types felt the urge to clean the house.”

4. superhero worship Yes, it doesn’t mean another Dark Knights are needed. It just means something futuristic, or big belt, are in.

5. winter garden Love of nature and it’s touches brings the charm, and warmth. All we need fo fall for Fall :)

Eco-friendly stuff has surely become trendy these days. About.com spilled their favorite down-to-earth stuff, and one of them is Gaiam ‘Kashvi Necklace’. From the name you may guess that this affordable-priced ($10.00-$12.00) necklace is related to India.

Well, you’re right. This necklace is made by artisans in India for fair living wages. Kashvi means “shining” in Indian. Maybe the name comes from how shining the sustainably harvested mother of pearl and brass beads are.

Gaiam itself is a provider of information, goods and services to customers who value the environment, a sustainable economy, healthy lifestyles, alternative healthcare and personal development.

Trendy, isn’t it? ;)

The name of Kebaya as a particular clothing type was introduced by the Portuguese when they landed on Southeast Asia.

Now you know! :)
