Mad for Mad Men

img-thingI'm madly in love with the costume design on the hit AMC drama, Mad Men. From circle skirts, capris, pencil skirts and dresses made out of brocade, the women on this show look so beautiful and classic! I have to say the men do as well, but I'm not much of an expert on men's fashion. Check out some items I've found that remind me of the show.

Halloween

img-thingHalloween falls on a Saturday this year, so there's a chance that you could be headed to a costume party. I haven't received an invite yet, but I thought I'd create a couple of easy costume ideas that incorporated fashion trends such as leather, leggings, plaid, fur, boots, boy friend jeans, etc. Here's what I came up with... You got your basic cat outfit, your Eskimo/Russian/Norwegian gal (haha) and your lumberjack. Comments are welcome. =)

Cat Eye

img-thingOver sized "cat eye" sunglasses have made there way onto the scene. I suppose it's a natural progression from aviators and classic Ray Bans. I just found a really great pair for $12.99 at Target (can't find them online). Here are some I found on Polyvore.com...

Legs for Days

img-thingI'm seeing a lot of celebrities these days wearing long-sleeved mini dresses, and I'm liking this look. I think it's a chic way of looking sexy and I prefer this to loads of cleavage. Even if you don't have long legs you can still pull this look off. Just add some nude pumps to your dress, which gives the illusion of longer legs and some height if you need it.
