Published May 10, 2010 1st issue of discussion- To be or not to be... an accessory that is. For a while now, the fashion community has debated weather a vest was considered an accessory or an article of clothing. For many, the belief leans toward the garment category, but to many die hard accessories experts (eh-hem, the gang here at True Birds); the vest is considered not only an accessory, but also the most versatile accessory in existence and is one of the easiest ways to take an ordinary outfit and turn it into a fashion forward showstopper. Not quite sure how to go about strutting your personal style with this item? Well here are a few ways to sport this hot inspired trend: 1st, Of course, Once considered a gentleman's piece of clothing, is now one of the most popular choices when it comes sportin' the vest trend.

Moving forward to one It's easy to tell where this particular style is inspired from, but to avoid looking like' Popular Pairings: A feminine dress or harem pants and of course fabulously high heeled booties or heels ...And of course we get to A fringy favorite Sister to the Fur Vest, we have the 60's to thank for this wonderful piece. Shaggy hair, cutoff shorts and layers of necklaces are winners with this vest, but modern times calls for modern styling. Finally we have Well Birds, there you have it. A quick look into a trend so hot this season, even the guys are flaunting it. (quick cute guy alert) ;)
 With so many choices you're sure to find one that suits your personal style.
Composed May 2010 Hello to all the birds out there. It's time for our weekly Fun Fashion Fix! What was once known only as a functional piece used to carry school supplies and lunch has now become one of 2010's hottest bags to flaunt. These bags can easily be recognized by their square shape, hand handle and front flaps with buckle closures. If you love your basic leather, look for black and brown numbers like this Michael Kors number to satisfy your craving. If you love leather but want a fashion forward color, Taupe is taking the "top color to wear" list by storm this Fall. Here CNC Costume National shows us how its done. This season a book bag with color will keep you looking fresh, stylish and "oh so smart". Look for a book bag that will be functional as well as colorful and remember, even a small dose of color can go a long way. Oh Proenza, how I love thee. Finally, if you looooove drama, seek something glamorous and say "Daaa-ling" a lot like me, snag a book bag with a little bit of everything: leather, hardware, fur and more. Nothing beats the "I have nothing to wear blues" like a fantastic accessory that steals the show.
Published May 20, 2010 Ahh Spring Time. First of all people, as us Cali gals know, you can not live without A sure fire sign Spring is here?... Ah yes, Cut-Offs. Festival Fashion just wouldn"t be where it is today without the Cut Off short. Destroyed and shredded, this ubiquitous piece has sustained the test of times and is one of the easier and money friendly pieces you can create yourself to update your very own Festival Fashion style. Worn with vests, bandos, tanks and T"s, this is an undeniable Festival Fashion staple. Nothing beats a great hat when the weather starts getting warmer and Festival Fashion's super star has to be The Floppy. Worn in all colors, The Floppy is usually scene in straw and is flattering on just about anyone. Contrasting colors are a great way to update this look even more and the extra large brims are a fabulous way to protect your skin on those extra sunny days. Festival Fashion has got some great jewelry trends this year, but I've been noticing the "fantabulous" chunky pieces myself. Extra large pendants, all types of metals, modern looking or nostalgic, these necklaces are leading 2010's "it" status when it comes to Festival Fashion jewelry. To wear these pieces with an extra "I know the trends" attitude, pair them with a Crop T. Sexy and stylish this popular pairing is evidence that, "Girl! You know how to dress!"
Published May 26, 2010 Hello Birds! This week I spotted a hot jewelry trend for Spring and I just had to share ' The multi-chain accessory is perfect for not only transforming any tired "ecouter" but also displaying your more rebellious side in a subtle, yet "oh so sexy" kind of way. Although we've seen this trend back in Fall '09, a couple of new rules update this hot trend for 2010.
1st up For that "I'm wearing it all" feeling (one of my personal favs) this multi-chain necklace is flawless. Featuring chains, mixed metals, rhinestones, and lots of movement, this necklace runs the perfect balance of outlandish and ultra-chic. Perfect for a "ressionized" outfit, you can rest easy knowing the rest of your ensemble is pretty basic. If something like this necklace is too much for your personality, no worries, Spring's multi-chain accessories come in lighter versions as well. Moving right along, we have As Cher once said, "Good Things Come in Small Packages"???... Although small and subtle, these multi-chain accessories pack a mean fashion punch and create the perfect reason to casually flip your hair in beautiful Spring sun. If you're not ready to take the plunge with more overt forms of multi-chain accessories, these small fashion statements are the perfect way to stay on top of the trend and still feel comfortable and confident. Afterall, a martini just isn't a martini without a little something dangling from your fingers.
Published June 1, 2010 Whether it's a "Good Hair Day" or a "Bad Hair Day", one thing's for sure... hair is one of our most powerful accessories and can make or break an entire look, so here are some fun and flirty Spring trends for your tantalizing tresses.
