Everyone has or had a little black dress, black dressy pants, black high heels,black coats, you name it. Black its flattering, black is for mourning, black is elegant, black is hip, black is "Emo", black is sexy, black just works! For the coming seasons take on the color black trend.  

 Now, the black trend is black..... I mean back!! Besides the amazing designs from the  professional famous designers, the trend has combined different textures of black in one outfit. I have noticed various combinations of fabric on these 2012/2013 designs. So if the twist is texture, we are taking this trend and wearing our self inspire black. 

If you are thinking "OMG!! this girl is way too late" and you are already in the trend then show us what you have done to make the trend be yours.

Head scarves have been around for a LONG time, there's always someone wearing a head scarf or head wrap, somewhere around the world. Fashion recycles just like history, remember hippies/Boho - who by the way had a great style and adorable purses, - pin-up style, 1970s and 1960s.

Now, in fall 2012, they are back!!! So, if you don't have one already, you know what to try on next time you go shopping. You might find out that it may actually suit you. Have fun!!

The twist of this fall's style, is to wear them and tie them up top. Going back in time to pin-up girls' bandannas, very retro, except no bandannas. You can wear them as thin as a headband or as thick as a head wrap. Go wild, "WEAR" them and most of all make it YOU.

Hat Fashion

Just when I thought hats were OUT, I find out Hats are IN. Hats make me feel good, I love them. I remember the days when everyone wore hats. The days we used hats as a fashion statement, not as a way to keep warm. Making a hat work is crucial for your look. If you do it the wrong way, it can look out-of-place. Now you can enjoy or try to work with Cowboy Hats, Fedoras, Cloche hats, Gaucho hats and much more! The fashion industry is going way out with hats, especially fur hats. There is also another head accessory that is in style, but we will discuss that tomorrow.

This gorgeous hat (image above) from Stracci is as fashionable as the ones on the runway, except this hat is affordable. This hat's design is made to manipulate the hat in any way that may fit your wardrobe.  The image below shows another hat in fashion for the upcoming seasons. This design, by Stracci can be worn in many ways to suit your style.

Now, what are YOU going to do with these great hats that are now in style? How are you going to apply them to your wardrobe?

Something to know about your body.

Did you know that when working out your muscles swell? Yes, I was surprised too!! I have heard of this but had yet to experience it. I did, I stopped working out for a week and I could swear my tummy seemed flatter and firmer. So, maybe the lesson is to let your body recuperate once in a while.

Upcoming Fashion

I've said this once and a billion times. You are you and you decide to wear what makes you, yourself. But you can always add to your styles with whats coming, starting this Fall up to next year.

• Plaid
• School girl styles are in!
• Squares and flowery prints are in!
• Pony tails and side braids
• Dark reds lipstick

Boys are going to LOVE the school girls style! Haven fun with the plaid and don't always settle with the common. Low pony tails can be worn like such, messy top iron straight the tail, sleek and tight top and messy tail and many more. Oh! the possibilities. Red is back! remember red lipstick and high heels? The twist is dark reds such as  burgundy and plums.

Chris' Workout Tip

A great burn doesn't necessarily mean a great workout. 

No pain no gain? Sometimes pain can mean that your body is not being treated right. As long as you are doing the workout you are supposed to, you are working out!  Overworking your muscles to achieve "the burn" can actually damage your muscles. So if your workout consists of 3 sets of 20,  that is exactly what you should do. Be safe and do not double your exercises if you don't feel THE BURN.

Colors for the fall

Colors are a very power tool used by companies, restaurants, web designers and most importantly, yes, here it comes FASHION. Colors have the power to make us feel good or make us feel blue. We use colors to slim our bodies and/or emphasize our goodies. My belief is always "if you like it, wear it", only because that's how we can see the truly you. We can use colors to identify our moods and our personality. But if you are unsure on what to wear or want to follow the fashion trend for fall 2012, here are the colors that fashionising.com predicted in one of their articles. This palette is for the ladies.

Fashionising.com is one of my favorite sites, it contains a little bit of everything under the category FASHION. I love their photography work and most of all the STREET STYLE articles. I can definitely describe each and one of their fashion articles and photography as unique and inspiring. Given that after a few months it won't be unique anymore. I truly enjoy this site.

Tip of the day: fall colors or 2012 are truly something you should look into.
