Harem Pants - MC Hammer or Jean Paul Gaultier?

I've been eyeing harem pants for some time now, but never got up the nerve to buy a pair.

The other day, while I was browsing through Forever 21, I decided to try on a cheap pair.  Absolutely adorable.  They are comfortable yet sleek, and are surprisingly flattering.

The trouble is - what am I supposed to wear with them?  Cropped, loose top?  Tight tee tucked in?  Blazer over a white bodysuit?

These are the big questions in my life ...

Lace It Up

Looking ahead to spring trends ...

Lace dresses, tunics and blouses are the latest additions to this year's spring wardrobe.  While it's still raining and breezy, belt a delicate tunic over black tights and chunky heels, and when the weather warms up, sport a glowing tan with a white dress and heels.

Tip: Crocheted lace in black, nude and white is much more simple and sophisticated! The more basic, the better.

The Camelot Years

Say what you will, but the Kennedy family was, and has always been, the picture of elegance and style.

Last night, I tuned into Reelz TV (first I've heard of it) for the anticipated debut of The Kennedys.  Regardless of the controversial reviews, I found it pretty entertaining.  And, of course, I spent half the time eyeing the fashions.

Katie Holmes was exquisite as Jackie O, and although some of her outfits may be dated now, I'm definitely going to start digging in my closet for some of her glamorous pieces - jeweled brooches, long gloves, traditional pearls and rounded sunglasses.

Stay tuned for more updates - and don't forget to watch tomorrow's episode!
