You know how some staples of fashion just never seem to fully disappear? Well, the Spectator (some call it Oxford) is back! It's not really our cup of tea, but with the right outfit, you can pull it off. Have you ever owned a pair? Maybe during your "Sixteen candle" days in a pair of flats. I love the way these shoes are the statement piece in the S/S 2010 runway. Let's Flip this look!

I think it's a perfect compliment to our gladiators! We found the (EH5006d) Ed Hardy cuff bracelet at 6PM for only .... $18.40! Okay, what's not to love about that price??

SPORT it up!

Let's talk about Sports! Now, I don't literally means "sports" but sportswear. We are seeing fashion turning more towards separates along the lines of old school Ann Klein. Here's the thing that you might find hard to agree with.... capri's with pleated. Seriously, when was the last time you wore a pair of pleated pants?? Well, it's that time again! But, for this writer, ehhh no! We're taking the spring look and Flipping it for some separates.

OUR DAILY FLIP:

Our Fashion Flip:

It's CLEAR As Day!

So, you're thinking that plastic heels are for, well shall we say...ladies that entertain?? Not anymore! The S/S 2010 runway was cluttered with lucite accessories & shoes from designer like Louis Vuitton, Michael Kors, Prada & more. The clear headbands & bangles were very popular among serveral of the designers. We are dedicating this Fashion Flip to ACCESSORIES!

Left to Right: DSquared, Prada, & Fendi.

Kate Spade Bangle $55

Hmmm so can I share my personal experience with plastic heels??? Ok, don't start judging me, I used them for performing onstage.... hey, that doesn't sound any better! LOL Anyway, they are literally one of the most comfortable heels I own & there 6"! The key is to find ones that the plastic around the top of the foot is soft. Too hard and you'll end up with lines digging into your feet. And the platform is the perfect shoe. It adds that height in the front so that the pressure is not too hard on the balls of your feet. Let's see some looks that don't break the bank for plastics!

The cold SHOULDER! Or not?

We've seen the asymmetrical look in several dresses & tops for awhile now, but this Spring/Summer 2010 runway showed us that you don't have to be one shouldered to be asymmetrical. Try a new look with asymmetrical hemlines, necklines & more. The trend doesn't stop at one exposed shoulder. Take a risk with a top that has a neckline unbalanced or try a skirt with an asymmetrical hemline. Let's see what was showing on the runway and how we'll "FLIP" the look into a budget that we all can afford! (don't forget to see our homepage on how to purchase our "flipped looks")

Lanvin sSping 2010 runway

We weren't trying to replicate this runway look, but rather find a great asymmetrical dress to fit your spring wardrobe. Our pick is this classic floral asymmetrical dress by famous Hollywood socialite Lauren Conrad. Lauren is known for her impeccable style and fashion forward image. We she partnered with Kohl's I was a bit surprised, but the idea of her bringing her style to the "everyday" women is fantastic! LC Lauren Conrad is the label name and this "LC Lauren Conrad Floral Asymmetrical dress" is in on sale for only $44.99.

Peeping Tom! Looks like the Peep Toe Boot is here to stay. That look we loved since fall is moving its way into our Spring/Summer & maybe Fall wardrobe. We've found many designer shoes from $585 and up, but this pair of Charles by Charles David "Fluster 2" designer heels fit right into our fashionistas budgets. Originally $125, now 49% off for $63.25 from 6PM. 6PM is part of our CASH BACK program earning you an additional 2% off!!
