My Favorite Jean Styles for Fall 2009
The styles that I'm not so fond of this season are jeans in check, tie-dye style aicd washed jeans and highly-overpriced distressed boyfriend jeans. There are so many other available styles for me that I haven't even considered trying one on.
How about you? Do you wear jeans often and what styles do you like?

- Skinny jeans:If you love skinny jeans, this is another fun year for you. I love the look for casual weekends with boots and evening wear with dress-up tops. It still is the third option for me compared to the versatility of straight dark washes and trouser cuts. Animal print and leather options that are plenty this Fall are a bit too edgy for my taste, but I've seen them done with great spohistication.
- Wide legged trouser jeans: This is another cut I like as a refreshing alternative to slim-cut jeans that were so popular the last couple of years. It is a tough but feminen look. Trouser jeans are easier to find in all kinds of price ranges, especially in stores like Ann Taylor, JCrew and Banana Republic.
- Dark wash premium jeans: The look is so multi-purpose and flexible that it is almost hard to imagine that drak washes will ever be out of fashion. (Remember 90's?) You can dress it down to go to the playground or dress it up to go to work. Just add your favorite piece of the day. When it comes to dark wash, premium jeans that can withstand the wear&wash are the best and worth the cost. It is possible get good prices during sale events.

Fall 2009: Snakeskin anybody?
Just get creative with scarfs, belts, shoes and even snakesking inspired jewelry... It dresses up simple outfits like jeans and shirt combinations or a little black dress.
Snakeskin inspired fabrics and accessories has been a big trend of Spring and Summer. The trend continues to boom for Fall 2009.
I like snakeskin as a suddle alternative to all other animal prints, but also find it harder to wear as a clothing choice. It is bolder than many animal prints on fabric. One risks looking like a fashion victim if the style doesn't fit the fashion personna they are carrying.
So how to mortals like me do snakeskin best? Simple answer: accessories!

I recently started using this amazing hair serum by Oscar Blandi. This product does everything it promises for even on my unruly hair and has a nice not very strong scent.They have it smaller trial sizes as well, but I love it enough to order the large one.
