Look Book: Heavy Metal CR

Yes I know that fall is upon us. And if you read Fashionwithfifi.com you know that we've replaced, Baywatch with Coat Check. But what about our warm weather followers? What about our 20 something party goers? Fret no more and behold "Heavy Metal" by Charlotte Russe. Heavy Metal is similar to their People's Liberation off shoot and features the same lean towards low-cost, edgy pieces. My favorite look is the one featured above. Top to bottom it cost less than a cardigan from the Gap.





The centerpiece of the look is this: Studded Satin Dress. It's an edgy glam look featuring a satin fabric, criss cross strap details with round studs, sweetheart neckline, and a back zipper closure. Charlotterusse.com lists it for $36.99. Sizes range from Small to Large. All sizes are true to fit, but to give you some perspective; Charlotte Russe medium is equivalent to 5/6 - 7/8 in regular dress sizes.







Next you'll want to Layer up in these Solid Full Foot Tights featuring a solid stretchy knit fabric, an elastic waistband, and a full foot. One size fits most. 4'10"-5'9", 95-165 lbs. These tights are durable, long lasting and only cost $4.99 at charlotterusse.com. You'll find these in a few different colors so rock out with creativity.







Go for a sophisticated elegance with these Patent & Suede Boots featuring a faux suede and patent leathers, buckled straps, almond toe, side zipper closure, 4" covered stiletto heel, and a lightly padded insole. Get this boot for $39.99 and add another shoe for just $15. Offer valid through 10/31/09 11:59pm EDT at CharlotteRusse.com only, so hurry.







Finish off the look with your favorite clutch and add the bling with this Rhinestone Earring & Necklace Set. It's only $5.99, but it adds a hint of sophistication to this edgy look. The necklace measures 8" long. This set is only available in the 966 CRYSTAL pictured to my left. Top to bottom this look costs just over $85 to recreate. If you already have fierce boots then you're looking at around $50.

Gap kept the timeless maritime features that make the iconic peacoat a fall-to-winter must, like a pronounced double-breasted front and exaggerated notched collar. They fine-tuned it with stylish rugby stripes and a slimmer silhouette for a feminine, flattering fit. This Rugby peacoat sells for $128 at Gap.com. The black/charcoal color is the only color for this specific coat. However Gap makes similar varients in different colors. Sizes from from XS all the way up to XXL in either, Regular, Petite or Tall.

How To Choose the Right Skirt Length

Hemlines rise and fall like the stock market, but you’ll always look great if you heed these tips.

You Will Need:

The right shoes
Coordinating top
An above-the-knee skirt (optional)

Step 1: Dress for your height
Make the most of your frame with the right skirt length. A short skirt will add height to a petite frame, while tall and leggy ladies can pull off flowing, layered skirts. Long skirts should be long enough to touch your anklebones. Try on a variety of skirts to see which flatter your body. Always try on a skirt with the shoes you plan to wear with it.

Step 2: Accentuate your assets
Accentuate your assets. Show off toned legs in shorter skirts or a firm rear end in a knee-length, pencil skirt. Curvy girls will look best with a flared skirt that just covers the knee. Never let a skirt end at the widest parts of your legs – the calves and upper thighs.

Step 3: Make sure it's appropriate
Make sure your skirt length is appropriate for your age and the occasion. Even if you look great in a micro mini, it’s probably not a good idea to wear one to work or around your grandkids.

Step 4: Coordinate with your top
Coordinate the skirt length with the style of top you’ll be wearing. A fitted, V-neck top won’t pair well with a tight, short mini; a longer, flowing skirt creates a better balance. Tunic tops look great with short or narrow skirts.

Step 5: Use a safe alternative
Wear a skirt that falls right above your knees, if all else fails. It’s a length that looks good on all shapes and sizes.

Did You Know?

In 1966, designer Mary Quant popularized the mini skirt, which hung 6 to 7 inches above the knee.

Vera Wang To Launch Glam Princess In December

Princess season is rapidly approaching! It has been announced today that Vera Wang has a new addition to her princess perfume franchise. Not Rock Princess, that was so yesterday - I’m referring to Vera Wang’s Glam Princess! Glam Princess will launch in December 2009, just in time for the holidays.




Glam Princess was composed by perfumers Ilias Ermenidis and Harry Fremont of Firmenich.

• Top notes of crushed red berries, juicy guava and sparkling pear
• Heart notes of orange blossom and vanilla orchid
• Base notes of warm ambrette, sugary marshmallow and soft cashmere wood

And guess who’s stated to be the face behind the fragrance – none other than beautiful Rocker Royalty, Zoe Kravitz! Kravitz seems fitting for the role and was hired to be the face of Vera Wang Princess for the next two years.

The Princess fragrances have a way of straddling the gap between young and mature, making them quite versatile. Two eau de toilette will be offered -- 1.7 oz. for $45 and 3.4 oz. for $72. A 5-oz. body lotion, $32, completes the offering.

Perfume of the Week: Jean Paul Gaultier Le Classique

For more than 20 years, Jean Paul Gaultier has been championing personal style, dismantling common ideas of what should—and should not—be worn. Regarding fragrance as the "first garment we wear," Gaultier's multitude of surprising, audacious, and sensual scents are crafted to express each wearer's personality. He creates fragrances intended to reveal the body, enhance the power of seduction with elegance, and speak the messages whispered by the skin.

Sensual and sophisticated, Jean Paul Gaultier's Le Classique eau de Parfum is a new interpretation of his famous woman's fragrance. Warm and profound, its charm lies in its floral, voluptuous, and deliciously entrancing notes. Le Classique is a floral bouquet, a more intense olfactory concentration than that of the Eau de Toilette.

Top fragrance notes are anise orange blossom and tangerine. Middle notes are ginger orchid and ylang-ylang. Base notes are vanilla musk and amber. Senses are floral-oriental fruity sweet-Ambery. It is recommended for romantic evening wear.

You can purchase a 20 ml/ 0.67 oz eau de parfum bottle for $71.72 at UnbeatableSale, Inc.
