No more tears

We know how uncomfortable and stiff some of the most popular fabrics can be, so people are even alergic to warm fabric like wool and hemp. So with that in mind, we got alot of great chic pieces that are made with super soft bamboo fabric. And according to wisegeek.com:

"Bamboo also has many antibacterial qualities, which bamboo fabric is apparently able to retain, even through multiple washings. This helps to reduce bacteria that thrive on clothing and cause unpleasant odors. It can also kill odor causing bacteria that live on human skin, making the wearer and his or her clothing smell more sweet. In addition, bamboo fabric has insulating properties and will keep the wearer cooler in summer and warmer in winter. The versatility of bamboo fabric makes it an excellent choice for clothing designers exploring alternative textiles, and in addition, the fabric is able to take bright dye colors well, drape smoothly, and star in a variety of roles from knit shirts to woven skirts."

And speaking of dyes, check out just some of the bamboo tops and dresses with amazing prints from Cantao.

Forties Greatness

Aquilano.Rimondi,Bottega Veneta, Andrew Gn doing forties. Amazing!

Even though Fall and Spring runways were filled with eighties influences (which are here to stay), the forties also played a huge role and fall trends are full of huge shoulders, cinched waists, and great trenches. Elie Saab, Dolce & Gabbana and Bottega Veneta all had beautiful romantic forties silhouettes. And though most of them would look great on Joan Crawford and any spy movie, there are a lot of ways to bring that romance into your fall looks.

To translate this trend to real life, click here to try this super soft trench, by Cantao.

The one shoulder dress

So I have been seeing a lot of one shoulder dresses transitioning from Spring to Fall which I love, but one thing that has not transitioned so well were all the wonderful colors we saw in Spring. I love a little LBD as much as anybody, but try something new this fall: a bright colored one-shoulder dress. As always, if you want to do a more subdued look for colder weather, pair it with thick warm leggings, over-the-knee boots and still look like a flower when all the leaves are falling.

Neon Pink

There were a lot of neon shades going down the runway for Fall, but one of our favorites was the neon pink. Though we love a full on neon look like this one from Michael Kors, I think that a dash of neon pink goes a long way in real life. So if you're not ready to leave the house in a bright pink fur hat, try one of these looks:Bamboo Print Dress by Cantao

Pair this beautiful print dress with dark leggings, your favorite pair of booties, and a simple jacket and you've got a chic fall neon look.

Soft Rose Scarf by Cantao

This reversible scarf is a perfect way to add neon hints to a look without having to add something to your wardrobe that you might not use again next year. Because the print is so beautiful, the fabric so soft and you can pair it with any of the dozen colors on the scarf, you'll wear this season after season.

The Loose sweater by Cantao

What I really love about this pink accented sweater is that you can you wear it with so many other great trends. Pair it with cool tight leather pants, great sunglasses and boots for a cool rock feel or with boyfriend jeans and fringed flat boots for a more laid back look.

Fall is here

It's pretty chili out there today so I know that Fall has definitely arrived... I'll be sharing my favorite trends for fall and I had to start with this one:
The White Shirt - Sounds simple enough, but find a white shirt that brings some excitement to an outfit. I love puff sleeves or pleats. Wear it with a fitted trouser or a pencil skirt and look super sleek. Mix it with colors and accessories and make it cool.
Try this one from Toucan if you want something a bit different since the fabric has a slight sheen and it has side pockets
Or try this one for a play on the classic, which I really love and it is also available in black.
