Our 100th Post! :)
What an anniversary. Our 100th post! We always knew we'd do something extra fabulous for our 100th post and it only made sense that it would be about fashion. We thought about doing different fashion trends, fashion icons and styles to write about and then decided to just do the ultimate list. This list talks about fleeting trends, iconic fashion women of the world and some of our favorite fashion trends. We are writing this to satisfy our love for fashion, for our fans & readers and for fashionistas all over the world. We are so excited to present you this amazing and comprehensive list of the best fashion trends of all time!
The original Pencil Skirt dates back to 1950's America. Although the pencil skirt has been somewhat shortened since then, well, and tightened now that I think about it, it has remained a staple in women's wardrobes for over five decades. The slimming silhouette is a sexy shape that leaves quite a bit to the imagination. Although the pencil skirt has changed somewhat in regards to length, fabrics and colors, it has stood the test of time and it's on our list of the best fashion trends of all time!
Who made it famous? Christian Dior
Who loves it? Eva Mendez, Victoria Beckham
#2 The Kitten Heel
The kitten heel was popularized by the great fashion icon, Audrey Hepburn
and has been sported by fashion icons since! They were first made
popular in the 1960s and diminished (thanks to the stiletto heel) and
re-emerged in the 1980s. This is another oldie, but a goodie. Style tip:
Don't wear rounded kitten heels. They look much more chic in a pointed
toe. And it adds length to the legs because the 1.5 inches just don't
cut it!Who made it famous? Audrey Hepburn
Who loves it? Michelle Obama, Manolo Blahnik
Everyone from Park Avenue
princesses to Boho rocker chicks are sporting the shrunken motorcycle
jacket look. It's one of our favorite pieces of this decade and I
believe the trend is here to stay. That's right, you heard it here
first! I realize that the motorcycle jacket trend is nothing new: (hello
Marlon Brando anyone?), but the way it's worn now is for fashion
purposes and has nothing to do with teen angst and rebellion.
Who made it famous? Marlon Brando & James Dean
Who loves it? Olsen twins, Kim Kardashian, Olivia Palermo,Taylor Momsen

Fashionistas of the world get to wear awesome over-sized sunglasses thanks to Jackie O. Although they were first made famous in the late 1960's this style trend has been going strong ever since. (Except the 90's when people started wearing those ugly, small oval frames. Yikes!) There's nothing that goes better with a Pucci bikini, the beach and a mimosa than a pair of Jackie O sunglasses.
Who made it famous? Really?!
Who loves it? Nicole Richie,Paris Hilton,Jennifer Lopez
Menswear inspired blazers aka. the boyfriend blazer became popular in the late 1980's. Yes, women wore blazers previously but only as a contradiction or as a "f-you" to society. The only bad press these blazers ever got was from the 80's when extreme shoulder pads came into play.Today the blazer is uber-versatile; wear it with a cocktail dress, to an interview or with a t-shirt -- it all goes!
Who made it famous? Katharine Hepburn, Diane Keaton
Who loves it? Blake Lively, Kourtney Kardashian,Miranda Kerr
They can be seen on royalty, sorority sisters, congress women and spoiled private school girls. Mikimoto was the genius who began to simulate the pearl making process in 1893 and has been making amazing pearl jewelry ever since!
Who made it famous? Coco Chanel
Who loves it now? Everyone
The crucially iconic "little black dress" or (LBD) has become a whirlwind of a phenomenon. Personally, I'm trying to make the LWD happen, but we'll see about that in another 50 years. Of course Audrey Hepburn invented the LBD in her role as Holly Golightly in the film Breakfast at Tiffanys. (Which I really need to quit watching before I start calling everyone "Dahl-ing".) What more can I say? The LBD is perfection.

Who loves it? All women over the world
The statement necklace is still a huge fashion trend. What I love about the newer fashion trends lately, is how easy it is for everyone who loves fashion to indulge without paying the muy-high prices. It's an instant ornament piece for any outfit and is fabulous. And the origins? It's difficult to trace, but most likely goes back to royalty.
Who made it famous? Cleopatra
Who loves it? Everyone who walks the red carpet.
Although the origin of the trench coat is debated, Burberry comes out on top for me, because they are still famed for this iconic coat. It originates from Britain, so here's another thing we acquired from them! The rich khaki color and large buttons are so nostalgic, we yearn for it!
Who made it famous? The British army & Doctor Occult
Who loves it? Audrey Hepburn, Katie Holmes
Obviously originally worn for riding horses, hence the name, they are worn today by anyone! These boots were also first used by the British Army, so lets take a moment to thank the Brits for these delicious riding boots! There's nothing sexier than crisp cream riding pants with some dirty riding boots! How not to wear them? With a heel! They're no longer really riding boots after that.
Who made it famous? Prince William, Hermes
Who loves it? January Jones, Taylor Swift
Where did the wide leg pants come from? Although there are numerous places to pin point an origin, I'm going to credit the 1970's bellbottoms. Bellbottoms were made highly popular by the hippie crowd, but everyone wore them. Today, wide leg pants have been streamlined and flare out only slightly all throughout the pants rather than just at the bottom. It's an exceptionally timeless look that deserves it's place on this list so I added a #11.
Who made them famous? Sonny and Cher
Who loves them? The Olsen twins, Jennifer Lopez
Let us know! What is your favorite fashion trend ever?
Love,
Arianna
