What's Hot. What's Not. For Fall 2006.

Updating for fall/winter 2006 includes tights and leggings. I hesitate to mention these two very big trends because the largest part of the female population probably should steer clear of these trends. The word “trend “ its self really states “younger”. Keep that in mind as you look to add these items to your fall and winter wardrobe.

Young, trim and ladies with a good fashion sense can wear leggings pretty much anyway they want. However, the new look is wearing leggings and tights as layered looks, NOT worn on their own like in the 80’s. Wear them with knit dresses, mini skirts, or under long dresses and skirts. Darker legs (chocolate brown and black) are BEST. Lighter colors and brights colors make legs look heavier. Some tights can go to work or formal occasions but in general leggings are a more casual look.
Have fun with this cold weather style but be very aware of your shape and the size of you legs.

People caught in the act of good taste and style!

As Fall approaches many people forget that in Lubbock we still need to wear sun protection. These glasses are a fashionable way to stay sun safe.	Lubbock’s wind becomes a fashion accessory when you wear flowing fabrics well as seen on this stylish native.	Bold areas of glittery sheen are often hard to wear in a flattering manner but glitz is the trend. These shoes are a great way to add flattering sparkle.
Vintage is still strong and these patched and appliquéd jeans are fun and fashionable.	Chandelier earrings aren’t going out of style any time soon and why should they? These black beaded earrings are as versatile as they are beautiful. They are one of the few accessories appropriate for day or evening wear.	Not everyone can pull off pearls 24/7 like June Cleaver. These illusion pearls are a great update to the classic string and they look great on everyone.

THE EYES have it!
Eyes are the main focus of emphasis right now. Everywhere you turn there are new tips and tricks for making your eyes “POP”. I have selected a few of my favorite ways to emphasize my peepers and I thought I would share them with all of you.

1. White eyeliner on the lower lid. This makes your eyes look bigger and more awake/alert.

2. Black eyeliner on the upper lid only so your lashes look fuller without making your eye appear overly dark.

3. I use my blush as eye shadow for a more natural look.

4. If I wear a bold eye shadow color I apply it at the crease of my upper eyelid. By applying my shadow in this manner I don’t overpower my other facial features and the hint of color is a nice accent when I feel like something different.

Since everyone’s eyes are different shapes and sizes these tips can be easily altered to best fit your face. For instance if your eyelid has a fairly deep crease you might want to try using more eye shadow, if you have shallow creases use less. Remember these are just guidelines and that fashion is only fun if it works for you.

Your questions. Your answers. Your Thoughts.

Q. When should you wear jeans under a dress or skirt? Is this a new fashion?

A.Jeans are the new pantyhose.
Leggings may be in but jeans are showing up under just about everything: dresses, tunics, shirts, skirts, you name it.

The empire waist is back. Shown here is a sportier look with jeans underneath a dress. Quite "in" and better than leggings for some of us.
