Of current trends:
Iridescent shell/wood/bead necklaces on thin thongs or chains. Belts with huge inlaid pearl/jewel buckles. Colourful multistripe scarves.
Deep sea-green ANYTHING.
Fuchsia pink ANYTHING.
Sweaters with well-finished cutouts or gaps.
Black leather trousers.
Black glittery jeans with rhinestone detail.
FURRY things (fake fur in all cases). Blingy white jackets, fur gilets.
Greek-style little black dresses, again with cutout details.
Interestingly printed raw-edged little vest tops.IP: Logged |

Sexy strappy slidesCute fun skirts (usually kinda short... as I'm 5'1") ANYTHING Pink Glitter around my eyes Sheer shirts/sweaters with a built in cami (I have the cutest purple sweater like this!) Sparkley lip gloss Low rise pants!!! I love them. My body shape requires them. Anything NOT low rise goes up to my belly button, and that's not comfy. In fact, low rise pants fit me so well that when I bend over, my thong DOESN'T hang out  I just got a new Pancho... Love it. Above all, I love shoes. Mostly heals... some chunky, some dainty... rarely do I ever wear sneakers (unless I'm in the woods... but sometimes even then I choose flip flops and filthy feet over sneakers )

...PURPLE...
That is something I need!
Like...a purple/iridescent Tiffany glass hairslide.
Or (dream) purple fake croc skin long Jasper Conran boots - saw a pair today...well out of my price range though.
On the subject of purple...
What about a lovely pink-purple dark berry-coloured lipstick....with tons of black mascara?
Or, on the subject of pink...
If you're golden blonde, navy blue mascara (Max Factor More Lashes), with a touch of fresh pink blusher on the apples of your cheeks, and an equally fresh bright pink lipstick (Maybelline's Watershine Guava Juice - 04) works wonders. IP: Logged |

I'm sort of a golden blonde. I weave a brownish/red color into my dark golden blonde hair... to match my DARK eyebrows  Since I've lightened my hair, the wonders of pinks and baby blues have opened up to me. I'm loving it! IP: Logged |

I wear thongs because I hate panty lines.I love all fall colors. I wear olive greens, deep oranges, reds, browns, creams, deep blue's, winter whites. I hate boot cut jeans so I wear mine slightly flared with heels. I love very plain jewellery. I normally wear white gold or silver with natural stones and quartz crystals. I'm not into diamonds.
I love flat ultra thin large watches that are swim proof, shock proof and washing machine safe. Mine always end up in a boil wash because I forget them in my robe pocket. Mine have all gone through thousands of washine wash cycles and are still going strong.
All my tops are v neck's as I hate feeling strangled. I love pashmina shawls and I never wear coats. I adore hats and have a huge selection. None of them are too formal. I love hat pins. Once again nothing fancy mainly natural stones and silver. I don't wear itchy wools, large prints, slogan t'shirts, slippers or panty hose. In the winter I wear pants, or longish skirts with boots. I hate panty hose because I dislike feeling like what I imagine a sausage feels like. I love french manicures and don't like to paint my nails with colours because I can't cope with chips. I'm way too lazy to reapply and anyway I don't have long fingernails.  Gia

Gia..  Your list fits me quite well, too!!
I like flashy too, every once and a while.. I like soft sexy materials first and foremost, and earthy.. with the occasional bright thrown in for my sense of drama.
Love the shawls and ponchos. I just got a great white hat.. it is like mohair, and a great shape.
Also just got a dark brown blouse , off the shoulder, rouching around the waist.. gathered.. and slouchy/cowl around the shoulders.. it makes me look like I have a great rack!!!!IP: Logged |

I love old, vintage things. You have no idea what kind of things you can find at Goodwill. My friend bought a fantastic blue skirt there. Urban Outfitters is a favorite store of mine too. Shirts that say something interesting, but not corny or overdone. Anything unique and interesting, basically. IP: Logged |

I'm going to be a typical Fish and say that I love old leather shoes and sandals that are so worn-in that you can't tell that you're wearing them.IP: Logged |

I used to shop at UO all the time when I lived in L.A., but there's not one anywhere near me. I have discovered a little shop that I dig, it's called River Island. I bought some cords and a nifty top there a few weeks ago. I also got a scarf and some earrings that are all dangly glass beads.
I am a charity shop girl, though. I love to go to them and think ''now, what can I make out of this?'' I enjoy taking clothes apart and making something else out of them. I have several skirts that used to be jeans or cords, that i chopped up and sewed different patterns of material into. I wear my mum's old suede jacket from the 70's when it's cold. I have a pair of tall boots with heels that I bought a few years ago. They are all patchwork fake leather and they look like a quilt. (Pheobe was wearing them in the episode of Friends when they all think Chandler is having an affair. I was all excited about that...jeez, I'm lame!) I usually wear simple tops, but I wear big crazy necklaces with lots of beads and usually a large pendant, so I don't want to be wearing anything too busy. I wear nothing but silver or white gold rings. I have two that have huge tourquoses in them that I wear a lot. I made a pair of earrings out of some oriental beads and some wire, and I've been wearing them quite a bit. I love red, dark blue, black and emerald green. If I have a tan, I can wear bubble gum pink and purple, but only when I have a tan. I guess I kind of have a ''bohemian'' style, as a lot of my clothes are linen, beaded, embroidered or handmade. I just put clothes on and if it fits, I wear it. I'm not much of an ''outfit planner''. I have collections of belts, hats, necklaces, and funky dressy shoes. There's not enough space in my room for Mr. Libra's things, he has more clothes than I do!! But most of them are remnants from his ''glory days'' of clubbing in the mid-late 90's, clothes that he will never, EVER be allowed to wear again. But he won't let me throw anything away... ''but it's Yves Saint Laurent, I spent 100 quid on that!!'' I'm like ''yes dear, but it's luminous yellow, a color not found in nature should not be on you!!''Whops, I got of on a little rant again... Anyways, I just bought this really cool Indian scarf at a charity shop last week, along with a powder blue silk shawl with beads on the ends. I'm not sure what to do with it yet, as I've already covered all the surfaces of the room in funky scarves. I may actually have to wear it  Wow, I can really go on and on about this, so I should just stop now.... Ghani IP: Logged |

Ooh! Something else I LOVE. Bindis. I usually only wear them to go out, or to belly dancing... but I love them.I've found a lot of little metalic stickers that work well for this purpose at the craft store down the street. I like to put little rinestones (using eyelash glue) in the corners of my eyes too. Looks REALLY cool! I usually put some around my belly button (for belly dancing). It looks really pretty. Kinda frames my navel ring IP: Logged |
