Anyone know what a keffiyeh is? It’s a traditional headdress worn by Arab men. So why, you might ask, is Chris Brown wearing one? Well, we all know that Chris Brown sure as hell isn’t Arab. Some of you may not know, however, that the keffiyeh is actually becoming a trend in Hollywood! Jay-Z and other celebrities have also been seen wearing one. What do you think of the keffiyeh? Is it a cool replacement for a scarf? Or does its political, religious, and cultural meanings outweigh its potential as a fashion trend?
Every year, the holidays creep up on me. By the time I realize that Christmas is almost here, it’s December 23rd… which of course leaves me rushing to find gifts up until the last minute possible! This year, however, I vow to be different. I will get my Christmas shopping done ahead of time… and I will not stay up all Christmas Eve wrapping presents. For someone like me, online Christmas shopping is perfect. I love browsing websites at my own leisure, in my own house. And when I decide to buy something, all I have to do is enter in my credit card number and my billing/shipping information– no long lines, no crowded parking lots, no incompetent store employees! So far I’ve found a lot of great options for gifts online. Handbags are always a good choice, since all women could use one. Hats, gloves, and scarves are also great ideas. They are ideal gifts for this time of year, when the weather is cold and snowy (at least here in New York!). But besides being practical, winter gear can also be very stylish. I love this GLT cable knit hat and scarf set– it’s so cute and cozy! And this New Design leopard wraparound ear band is perfect for any fashionista!
Bucket hats are super cute for fall. And aside from looking good, they block the wind and help keep you warm. The Gucci Princy bucket hat features the famous GG canvas and comes in both beige and black. There’s also the Gucci web stripe bucket hat, which features signature red and green web stripe detailing in addition to the GG canvas. Either one is a great way to accessorize your autumn outfits.
Oh, Roberto. You have us swooning over your “snake arm” sunglasses. Fine craftsmanship and gorgeous Italian design make for one hot pair of sunglasses- and they’re affordable, too! You can be sure that Roberto’s got you covered: these sunglasses will shield your eyes from harmful UV rays without sacrificing the sexy look you desire. We like to think of them as the ultimate form of protection- protection from the sun and protection from subpar style.
Jessica Simpson has released her own swimwear line- and, like the singer’s own style, the pieces are flirty, feminine, and sexy. Jessica unveiled the line on July 14, during the Miami Mercedes Benz fashion week. Almost all of the swimsuits were paired with cute hats or hot sunglasses. Need your own beach-ready apparel? Try these Versace black sunglasses with jeweled detailing.
Cute graphic prints are a feature of so many clothing lines that it would be nearly impossible to list them all. The heart print that Forever 21 uses is strikingly similar to the designs of Gwen Stefani’s Harajuku Lovers clothing line- a little too similar, in fact. Gwen is suing Forever 21 for copying the heart motif. Some people think the lawsuit is ridiculous; others would be happy to see Forever 21 go down in flames. While you’re waiting for the outcome, try a style like Gwen’s: pair this Kay Unger cheetah babydoll dress with a solid black leather belt and you’ll be rockin’ steady.

These Versace sunglasses feature a cute and classic tortoise shell pattern and fabulous side detailing. They were certainly created for the fashion-conscious, but did Versace go too far? Tell us- are these sunglasses sexy and chic? Or are you saving the tortoise shell print and cat-eye shape for when you become one of those stylish older ladies who likes to shop a lot?
What do men want? Sexiness? Affection? A home-cooked meal? Don’t bother asking. Everyone- man or woman- loves a material gift. Show your man you care with a luxurious wallet, a sleek pair of sunglasses, or a stylish pair of shoes. By the way- don’t forget about the other men in your life. Dads, brothers, cousins, and cute neighbors will also love these items.
Sunglasses protect our eyes from harmful UV rays. Fortunately, they also help us look incredibly sexy and stylish in the meantime. Jackie O revolutionized and glamorized the world of eye-wear when she donned her famous over-sized sunglasses. Try a pair of hot Versace sunglasses and who knows- maybe you’ll become a style icon yourself.
