Fashion no-no

It was a frigid day in Milan today, and it looks like someone forgot to check the weather before leaving the house. If you decide to wear your mini skirt or dress this winter, keep your legs warm with some tights! Go opaque or spice up your outfit with a printed/floral pattern.

Jonathan Aston Glass Lace Tights, $17; Black pelerine tights, $6; Aristoc | Aristoc Cashmere Blend Tights at ASOS, $26; Super Sheer Spiral Tight, $14; ASOS 80 Denier Opaque Grass Green Tights, $6.80

Also, to transition from the winter style of over-the-knee boots, try over the knee tights. Pair your outfit with a pair of killer stiletto shoes to lengthen your legs.

Jeggings

When spandex first came out a few years ago, it was a big deal to wear them as pants because they revealed your private area. Now jeans seem to get skinnier, tighter, and more form fitting after every season, resembling a 2nd skin. Jeggings, a combination of jeans and leggings, is the best of both worlds! You can wear them out at night and they'll still be comfortable with their stretchy spandex material.

Head, shoulders, knees, and globes

Celebrities were decked out head to toe last night at the Golden Globes. Hollywood stars spiced up the off-the-shoulder look with ruffles and flowers. Take a look at some of the looks!

TIP: Despite the rain, going days (or months in Mo'Nique's case) without shaving will not keep your legs dry. Remember to keep your legs smooth next time you wear a dress!

Buckle up

I saw this Chloe bag at La Rinascente (Milan's version of Saks 5th Ave), and loved the detail of the unique cross buckle. Check out the cute locks on these bags for under $100.

Having a bad day?

The Hamsa Hand originates from the Middle East and Jewish religions. Anyone who wears the Hamsa hand is protected from evil and will be blessed with good luck and fortune.

The Evil Eye is similar to the Hamsa Hand and protects anyone from people who are envious or greedy and wish bad upon you. Almost every culture has mentioned the evil eye in history including Jewish, Islamics, Hindus, Buddhists, and Christians.

Be in touch with the ancient times when life was simple with Hamsa Hand and Evil Eye jewelry.

Get on my level

Rain in Milan today. Found these boots at a shoe shop on Via Torino. I'd say the rain level is about 10, sì?

Spring forward into these!

H&M's new spring 2010 pieces will be in stores this February/March. Be on the lookout for these pieces. Sonia Rykiel, designing for another season, is all about the stripes, pinks, and yellows. The Garden Collection seems to be repeats from past seasons. Old floral print on last fall's trousers? What a bore! Since floral sold in past seasons, retailers are playing it safe with the economy. Lucky for you, you already have floral in your closet! If you’re looking for something new, try the men’s section. The men’s line is definitely more trendy but a little femme might I add?

January snowshowers bring...iced flowers?

It's a little early to be thinking about the spring, but trenchcoats will be perfect for the spring months coming up! These trenchcoats are all under $100!
