Posted by: TheFashionGuru on: November 10, 2009

Trompe L’oeil…Appliqué…What do these words mean? They are styles of jeans that I’ve been seeing around my workplace. Trompe L’oeil is a type of velvet French print that’s becoming a big trend for the winter season. Velvet no longer belongs to blazers and tuxedo pants.
It’s not just Trompe L’oeil that’s getting all the attention, it’s all kind of prints [...]

Posted by: TheFashionGuru on: October 29, 2009

Posted by: TheFashionGuru on: October 27, 2009

The seemingly innocent times of the 1960s are not so innocent with these wives and their hot-shot husbands. You [...]
