Who doesn’t love a fun holiday ugly christmas sweater party? It’s a chance for you to pull out or create the tackiest spirited sweater you can find, but when those parties are over and it’s time to settle down to a nice holiday meal, you’ll want to be cozy in a comfortable but stylish sweater. Here are some of our top picks from the non-tacky, not ugly holiday sweaters.
As 2014 winds down, you don’t have to look hard to find an abundance of articles, slideshows and pictures of the year in fashion. One of the trends we always like to look out for is the Pantone fashion color of the year. Why it’s so great is because it gives fashionistas the chance to take part in one of the hottest trend of the year no matter what their style or budget!
The Pantone Color of the Year for 2014 was the gorgeous Radiant Orchid. This pinky-purple tone is a vibrant, bright color that is great because it is both nuanced and bold that looks good on most skin types. We’ve created a collection of some of our favorite ways to wear this peppy shade even after 2014 is over!
For those fashion trend-watchers we’re sure you’ve heard what to expect for the color of the year 2015: Marsala. This is a gorgeous, wine inspired tone is being seen in both fashion and home decor trends. The red-brown hue is much darker and more subtle than the vibrant Radiant Orchid of last year but will still make be seen as a trendy color for the Spring and Summer 2015 season and will be a great warm tone for next fall. Here are a couple of our favorite looks to inspire this color into your wardrobe.

Christmas is a great time to celebrate your wonderful friends. But when you think about it, you probably have a lot of people to shop for on a limited budget. Finding the perfect budget-conscious gifts for your fashionable friends doesn’t have to be stressful. First, make a list of friends who love fashion. Next, whittle down that list to a select few close friends (you don’t want to burn money on acquaintances!) Then, write down what style fits the individuals you chose best. For instance, if your friend is into trendy items, write “trendy fashionista” next to their name. Or maybe your friend is more into a classic look—write down “classic inspired” next to her name. Regardless of your friends’ tastes the prime reason for getting them a gift is to find that one item that really suits them and that they will cherish. Here are some helpful hints for Christmas gifts ideas for friends:
Etsy—Any list referencing holiday gifts on a budget should include Etsy. Shops like Persephone Vintage have some great well-priced items like this geometric dress and this structured plaid blouse.
A 3D Printing Pen—This gift is a little up there in price, but could be perfect for that one special friend. Check out the interesting, albeit $99, 3Doodler.
Indie Magazines—A subscription to a highly visual vintage magazine could be a perfect, cost-conscious gift. Buy your friend a subscription to Lucky Peach or Contributor Magazine.
The key take away: ‘tis the season, but don’t go broke!

The fashion tech trend has created tons of buzz in fashion recently. This combination of fashion and technology has existed since fashion’s inception, but the recent surge in development has piqued the interest of many in the fashion industry. Early fashion adopters used technology in this season’s runway shows and designed supposed wearables for fashionistas. This is just the start of the expansion (or invasion) of technology into our lives in a new way – wearables are technology that truly move with you.
This fashion tech trend has created a new market opportunity for fashion empires that are jumping on it. But there are only a handful that have caught on with consumers and have potential to be valuable and stylish. In the fashion community the latter of the two continues to be stressed as a factor that will deem these wearables covetable. Here are a few that we find to be truly relevant to fashionistas:
JonLou 314 Bag This leather purse was dreamt up to solve everyday fashion problems with technology. For decades, bags have served only one function, but the 314 bag redefines the value that fashion brings into our lives. The leather purse is a full hybrid of fashion and technology, and can charge your phone for a month; it’s not a second clutch. Everyone knows you are what you wear, and perhaps smart clothing and accessories like the 314 bag will become our second skin in the future.
“we have a long way to go, and this will be proven in just a few years with several more advances in the wearables space.”
– Theodora Koullias, founder of Jon Lou
Koullias’ experience taught her the level of craftsmanship and attention to detail that goes into design. The fashion industry has continued to argue that wearables won’t catch on unless they’re appealing to fashionistas. The disparity between fashion and technology that Koullias felt is most likely echoed by many interested in what these two fields have to offer for their lives. The 314 bag offers a first glimpse into this world.
Asus ZenWatch Already there are a handful of smartwatches on the market, but the first thing we noticed about this smartwatch by Asus was it’s beautiful design. The leather strap and simple face makes up a classic look and is very different from other smartwatches that targeted tech enthusiasts. The curved edges make using the touch screen device easy and it runs with Android 4.3 or higher. If fashionistas are searching for a watch to accompany their phones and busy schedules, this would be worth looking into.
Bluetooth Ring Finally, with this bluetooth ring you can be stylish and have magical powers! This wearable allows individuals to interact with their tech environment with the movement of a finger. Write texts, access apps, and turn lights on and off. The only downside is that it’s so easy to forget you’re wearing this wearable which could be a problem when washing your hands or doing dishes.
Writers from Fashionista.com have written about this topic and given some great insight. This tech trend is useful and fashionable options are being developed, but the fact is that it’s just the start and there is little to compare it to. Right now, this fashion tech trend is just starting to develop so their value may be hard to see. Koullias makes a good point, that though it’s hard to accept this concept of ‘wearable technology’ because of it’s novelty, smart clothing and accessories are growing. Just like we don’t call our smart phones “technologically enhanced cellular phones”, wearables like the 314 bag and bluetooth ring will become the norm; it’s just the start of this fashion revolution.
