Lingerie Diva recently created a lingerie forum called Garter Gab for the lingerie community to discuss their favorite lingerie-related topics. Divided into three parts—lingerie gab, lingerie needs and the lingerie industry—the Garter Gab forum has a place for everyone to discuss their most important lingerie issues, whether it’s where to find a nursing bra, how to put on a corset, or how to design a bustier. For future reference, Style[ology] has a permanent link to the forum under “Favorite... Read Full Story

Oscar night is always an exciting treat for fashion lovers like ourselves. It’s one of the few nights a year where we get to swoon over elegant gowns and cover our eyes when a not-so-elegant one enters the screen. While I normally opt for big flowy gowns, this was certainly the year of long, lacy nude and white gowns. And I liked it! I have only one concern: the intimates. One might ask how do you wear undergarments with those tightly-fitted, almost-see-through numbers. Of course, there’s... Read Full Story

After the Fall/Winter 2010 Fashion Week, I can say that the lingerie as outerwear trend is definitely hear to stay. Many lingerie retailers believe that this trend has a direct correlation with the rise in popularity of pasties and nipple tassels. According to a Wickedelic press release, their nipple cover sales have gone up 20 percent in the last couple of months because of stars like Rihanna and Lady Gaga sporting the nipple covers with see-through tops and lingerie-type garments.

I have to say that my favorite collection of this season’s Fashion W eek (so far) is Sophie Theallet’s. While the boho-chic style is one of my favorites, I really enjoyed Theallet’s use of color. So many fall collections are filled with black and gray, but Theallet’s collection included a unique palette of reds, blues and golds. I particularly liked her coats. Most of the coats this Fall 2010 Fashion Week looked like potato sacks, but Theallet’s were very wearable, cut just below the waist... Read Full Story

Yes, it’s that time of year again. The Fall/Winter 2010 Fashion Week is upon us, and two of the new “it” designers, Alexander Wang and Jason Wu, have surprised me yet again. Both designers have changed my opinion about their work in these latest collections, and not necessarily in a good way. If you recall, I did not like Wang’s Spring/Summer 2010 collection in my  Spring/Summer 2010 Fashion Week review . His jersey-football-inspired collection was too sporty for me. However, I think his... Read Full Story

Valentine’s Day is an excuse to look smoking hot — not that you really need one — but it’s certainly fun to dress up for special occasions. And, above all, Valentine’s Day is the night to look sexy. That’s why I created an outfit on Polyvore to show off some looks that I think would look great this Valentine’s season. I chose a sexy red dress for the day, but any cute cocktail dress or sexy top would do. Of course, it’s what’s underneath that counts on this holiday though. Whether you’re a... Read Full Story

I have to admit I’ve never been a vest person. When I was little, pullover vests that my mom made me wear were my worst enemy. And I couldn’t understand the craze when puffy vests came into style in the ’90s. It was as if several marshmallow Michelin men had take over the streets. However, I kind of like the latest vest trend. Designers have finally found a way to make vests work, whether they’re long and flowy or short and studded. The long vests or (sleeveless sweaters) that drape... Read Full Story

I wanted to direct all of my readers to one of my favorite sites that I try and go to every day — not necessarily to shop — but to click. The Hunger Site is set up so that if you click on their “Click to Give-it’s FREE!” button, 1.1 cups of food are donated to the hungry. I know it sounds too good to be true, but it actually works. Once you click the button, t he site displays ads from their site sponsors, and 100% of the advertisers’ money goes to fund programs that give food to the hungry...
