Dare to Wear: Eye Heart Glasses

So I’m in the market for a new pair of eyeglasses, when I come across a pair that I can't seem to take my eyes off. I told you about the cute little heart shaped sunglasses they carry at Topshop and Urban outfitters before, but these aren’t sunglasses but something a little more risky in terms of fashion. I know they are a little much for daily wear (the looks I would get at work would be classic) but I can’t help but think these would be great for a weekend change up. I found the Eye Heart Glasses at Nasty Gal a brand spanking new ( they opened last week) online Vintage Boutique that I can’t wait to see more from i.e. they have a new clothes coming soon. But back to the glasses, I really wish I could be more daring.....if you are you better move fast, this is a vintage item (unworn) and therefore limited quantities are available! If I do get them I’ll let you know the look on my Optometrist face when I ask her to fill them with my prescription!

Dare to Wear: Members Only Rubber Leggings

I was feeling daring today, therefore it’s all about “Dare to Wear” fashions! I knew Members Only was updating their 80’s image with a line of Leather Jackets (which I love by the way). But who knew they were going to really step out of the eighties and into the new millennium with even more with the addition of clothes, and the recent introduction of their rubber leggings. I’m sure Kova &T ( love this line) are shaking in their boots, and Mary Kate Olsen has bought several pair, because the Members Only version of the “leather look” leggings are only $88 bucks ( yes that's cheap compared) at Urban Outfitters or Revolve Clothing. If you’re bold enough to wear them then this is a great find!

P.S. Yes, Rihanna apparently loves them!

Dare to Wear: Scarlett High Platform Shoe

I have not the slightest idea why I love this shoe, but I just do. Don’t fret I have not purchased them because lets face it I would have absolutely no place to wear a black/ hot pink platformed pump. I know when you first look at the Scarlett High Platform Shoe it screams stripper shoe, but if you sit and look it starts whispering style icon, risk taker, fashonista. What’s funny is the shoe is kind of on trend since wacky superhero look has been on the rise since the Costume Institutes Superhero exhibit (May 08). For those of you bold enough to wear this shoe I commend you and wish I had half of your fashion guts.

Remember the Dare to Wear from March? How can you forget the LnA Zipper Leggings, well they are now available at shopbop and the views of the leggings are much better ( although the styling with the flip flops is bad) and better yet they are 11 dollars cheaper. So if you’re ready to jump off the fashion ledge pick them up here.

Dare to Wear: Lindsay’s Leggings

Now information is trickling in from all over the internet in regards to the Lindsay Lohan legging line. Apparently she has decided to try her hand at a clothing line yet her line will focus strictly on leggings ( weird yet cool). I’m still on the fence as many of you are on the highly contested “leggings” as pants debate. I’m not totally against them, yet I’m not sure if they are a mass market type of item either (so much can go wrong). Hell lets just be honest, “we” are afraid we are going to look a fat hot mess in them! Rumor is and as the picture indicates the line includes a variety of styles and colors including one similar to the LnA Zippered ones. Regardless of what is going on in this girls life I kind of like her personal style and I hope that she extends the line of just leggings to a full clothing line. I’ll reserve further judgment on the leggings until I get to see the entire line.

By the way out of all the info that has saturated the net , I haven’t found the lines name....more to come!

Dare to Wear: Sweet Heart Sunglasses

No, I’m not paying homage to St. Valentine I just think these Sweet Heart Sunglasses are so damn cute! Yeah they won’t be everyone’s style because they are a little too hipster and that’s exactly why they are a dare to wear. Don’t lie when you saw Nicole Richie strutting in her Anglo American version of the heart glasses you thought “they are kinda of cute, but I could never wear them”. Well now you can wear them minus the $255 Nicole Richie version price tag pick them up at Urban Outfitters for 16 bucks!

Dare to Wear: LA Girl FLARE Bright Nail Polish

phot cred: LA Girl Cosmetics

Okay so this weeks beauty find is also a pretty cheap way to try out a new beauty trend for your nails. It’s spring and of course color is going to be all the rage, this year it’s just punched up a notch with neon. LA Girl FLARE Bright Nail Polish has given you a chance to try this trend and make a move away from the dark tones ( which I still love too) with little regret due to the 4 dollar price tag which is clearly a steal. A perfect example of how to wear this trend is how Rihanna did during her Grammy apperance with her neon orange nails and perfect Electric Blue Zac Posen dress. I know some of you are sitting there thinking I’m not 20 and I’m not Rihanna well neither am I, but I’m still wearing LA Girl's “tropical” color on my toes. If you don’t want to order online, you can pick up selected colors in store at Urban Outfitters for 5 dollars.

Dare to Wear: LnA Zipper Leggings

Many of you loathe them and some of you can’t live without them yes I’m talking about leggings the most argued about “comeback” fashion of the past couple years. As we have seen in some of the Fall 08 runway shows the 80’s inspired trend hasn’t yet died out and what’s more 80’s than leggings? Well LnA has put a new spin on the old uh, new legging trend with the addition of some well placed hardware the ankle zipper (somewhere Tim Gunn is screaming). I for one don’t like the leggings as pants look yet the addition of something as simple as this zipper has moved my view a bit and made them more pants worthy. I could see myself wearing this rocker chic look for a night out with an oversized off the shoulder tee or a very long tunic (no booty peeks). If you’re ready to take this fashion risk you can get your pricey pair ($110 a pop) at Singer22.
