Frozen

Inspired by my total lack of heat and possibly frozen toes, I've found a tee shirt quite appealing to the eskimos of the world. Uniqlo has done it again; they've come up with a super utilitarian fashion. They call their new tees "Heattech" Turtleneck T-Shirts. Though not the most asthetically pleasing piece of apparel, I'm quite intrigued at the moment considering my fingers are about to snap off from my palms. Uniqlo claims the Heattech Japanese technology used in the tees will generate heat (by absorbing body moisture), retain heat (with the tee's air pockets), control odors, and much, much more! And for Uniqlo's 25th anniversary, the Heattech tees are on sale. How kind of them. In my current state of being frozen, I might just pick one up for a mere $7.90! Check out the Heattech for yourself at Uniqlo's Website.

Also, while you're shopping, have a listen to Leighton Meester's "Somebody to Love". I'm not one to fancy the actress-turned-singer singer, but I seem to be keeping this song on loop. Looks like my preconceived notions just flew out the window!

Dressing to the 10s

I'm sure that like myself, many of you have the "I spent all my money on Christmas presents and now I have no money left for a New Years' outfit" issue. Unless Santa was generous this year in giving you gift cards to your favorite stores, you feel my pain. So, what's a broke fashionista to do? Revamp some of your favorite party ensembles with fresh details. Stick with a simple Little Black dress, but add colorful accessories to the mix. In the spirit of every girl (and her mother) loving Forever 21, try these pieces to leave a killer impression on New Years!

Jeweled headband, $4.80

Embossed Stone Cuff, $6.80

Red Sequin Wallet, $5.00

Looped Crochet Scarf, $9.80

If you're wearing skyscraper heels and going from party to party on New Years, pack a pair of Uggs in your car to avoid falling in the snow and ruining your gorgeous outfit! And finally, for any girl lucky enough to get a giftcard to Bloomingdale's from Santa, here's a gorgeous frock:

$255 at Bloomingdales (but 50% off!)

Happy Holiday Shopping!

New Obsession: Federation

December 28 is that all too mediocre day of the year: the halfway mark between Christmas and New Years. The mood is, for lack of a better word, hormonal. Christmas is over (bummer), but the New Year is right around the corner! In an attempt to put some weight on the excited end of the teeter-totter that is the mood-meter of the world, here's a new obsession: Federation Clothing. Featured in Nylon Magazine's January issue, the clothes are perfect for the fashionista/o who walks to the beat of her or his own drum.

And here's a preview of the New Zealand based company's summer line. I'm in love.

Welcome to Little Black Blog!

Trendsetters, fashion fiends, and anyone reading Vogue, welome, welcome welcome! It would only be appropriate to usher in the Little Black Blog by paying homage to this blog's namesake, Coco Chanel. And in the interest in keeping the most up-to-date fashions on this blog, here's Karl Lagerfeld's take.
