Phreaked Fall Fashion 2008 September 3, 2008

So I’ve been compiling a list of looks I would love to see this fall.

First off, the T-Strap and the Ankle Strap are adding a demur look to some of the heavier, clunkier shoes of fall.

Madden Girl Pracila T-Strap, $39.95

Juicy Couture Elisabeth, $352 (avail in both Port and Black)

Two Lips Copa, a lil clunky but, $79

Secondly, GREY GRAY GREY!! I want to see it on cozy sweaters, knee high boots, and a-line skirts. Anything from a soft dusty shade to gunmetal. I’m over charcoal, too severe.

designbynihan Grey Unisex Sweater, $130

Semantiks "Lottery Pick" Paneled Tweed Skirt, $88

muttsywonder Gray Short Sleeve Hoodie, great for layering, $38

Purple. Mind you, I tried to make this the color of Spring 2007 but apparently the fashion consciousness was concentrating on vibrant blue.

DONE.

Purple is an amazing color to mix with the rich shades of fall that are sure to mimic the changing of the leaves. Deep Golds, Burnt Oranges and Bloody Crimsons. Intensity and Flair for all my friends.

JON Animal Print Skirt, please wear this with canary pumps, $346

Alice + Olivia Purple Belted Bubble Coat, $640

Peacock Embellishments. I love the intensity of Peacock plummage. I actually made my own peacock tutu this past spring for a garden-theme party and have since thought of turning extra peacock feathers floating around the house into an inspired necklace.

Maggie Makes It Sheila Peacock Feather Necklace, $12

misskk White Peacock Feather Necklace, $68

As you can tell, past Phreaked fashion finds are always about drama!! How better to achieve that than with the airs of a peacock strut?? With that said check out the following peacock loveliness~

Ruby Red Rose Peacock Feather Clutch, $105

VieModerne Peacock Headband, $29

Alright well that’s all for now! Please take it to heart my pretties!

I did not need to see that this morning…

You, hauling up the Spring Garden subway steps in your patchwork plaid shorts.

I think this might have been an attempt to look like a coquette co-ed on your way to the Community College, alas, these Amazing Technicolor Dreamshorts do not hide the fact you look at least 35, and indeed, only create a larger fat-ass.

I’m not saying clad yourself in black alone. But as I watched you, I could only think the manufacturers of these “short shorts” truly did you a disservice by making these in your size.

May I suggest some capris without “spectra-vision”? You’re a shorter, curvier woman so choose a length about knee level as to not look even smaller… may I suggest:

They hug you at your waist, one of your tiniest parts and will accentuate that great lower curve of your back but flare out from there leaving your legs feeling free.

This is going to be a hot sticky summer in Filthadelphia mamn, and I don’t need you running around pretending to be any spring chick. CAMOUFLAGE that cellulite, NOW!
