Leaping LEOPARD!


Dear Fashionable Collegians, Summer is coming to a very near end.  Don't fret. Instead, let this be a reminder that you need to update your wardrobe for the upcoming Fall semester! In addition to buying Oxford shirts, polos, new jeans, and of course a fresh new pair of Old Navy flip-flops, be sure to add leopard to your Fall 2010 wardrobe! That's right, LEOPARD!


In the Harper's Bazaar August 2010 issue titled, "First Look At Fall," the fashion editors of the mag shared their insight on what to expect for the season-Feline Fetish.  Some of our favorite fashion labels such as Longchamp, Ralph Lauren, Christian Louboutin, Dolce & Gabanna, and of course, feline print extraordinaire, Mr. Roberto Cavalli, are all using leopard print this season. Check out some of the leopard print items I found in the magazine!



Leopard print is so chic and fabulous! I'm craving that Yves Saint Laurent bag (Price tag=$2,995) Ouch! Guess I need to start saving up my coins to purchase that bag ;)

Take heed to this advice: Fashionable Collegians, it is important that you ONLY wear ONE article of leopard print! Two or more, automatically makes you look T-A-C-K-Y! #NoBuenoBaby!

Ciao Bella,
Bisi

Crave CHANEL?, There's an app for that...


In addition to attending fashion shows, and reading both fashion related magazines and blogs, fashion enthusiasts are now able to use iPhone apps as another means to get their own fashion fix, while on the go! World renowned  French fashion house, CHANEL, was one of the few fashion labels to first release an iPhone app.


The CHANEL iPhone app allows you to see exclusive videos of recent CHANEL fashion shows, various behind the scenes footage (i.e. some of the footage includes Monsieur Karl Lagerfeld aka my favorite uncle "in my head"), and  there's also an easy to use CHANEL global store locator.


There's also a section of the app labeled, "CHANEL News," which gives "CHANEL Cravers," like myself, up-to-date information regarding the fashion house.  Expect to read exclusive news about new CHANEL store openings around the globe, pictures of some of your favorite celebrities wearing CHANEL on the red carpet, and even some pictures of Coco Chanel's famed apartment in Paris!
Be sure to check out the free CHANEL iPhone/iTouch app on iTunes to satisfy your CHANEL craving.
