Statement making BoHo wide brim hats have continued to be a major fashionista statement this season. It's a fashion trend that's just as tricky to pull off as the other biggie, faux fur vests, and can have as many, if not more, catastrophic style results. Not worn the right way, what is meant to look dramatic and chic ends up looking like the wearer is channeling a 70's gangster pimp character. Just look at KK and --albeit a favorite movie score-- force yourself not to hum a tune from Superfly. Ranging from wide brim, gaucho to BoHo floppy with portrait shape thrown in for good measure, there are a few basic style guidelines to consider when trying to pull off a wide brim hat

Cheap Chic Question: Do YOU Zara? Aw come on, it's the fashionista insider secret for picking up some relatively cheap chic pieces to add to an otherwise top designer outfit, or wear on their own. So, do you do Zara? You really should. The Spanish retailer has stores in almost every fashion-forward city around the world and will be opening up its online selling doors to the US very soon. The quality is good for the price, the basics-- especially cotton T-shirts-- can't be beat, and the high fashion is usually similar to top runway styles... without naming designer names, you can tell where the inspiration comes. There are also fantastic scarves, adorable kid's clothing, and cool finds for men.

More than you need to know about me... well, sort of... Very cool interview with dtripazcorazon... bet there are some things that you never knew... ---------- Name: Sharon Haver Website: FocusOnStyle.com Education Business degree. Marketing major. Minor in law & some abnormal psych. I became a stylist: When an art director hired me for a 3-week shoot in St. Maarten.

Affordable fashion Alert: Love the Spring 2011 collection at Mercedes-Benz Fashion Week Stockholm & I'm wearing it now- so should you! Forget cheesy fast fashion, get designer style at an affordable price...

Yes, I'm attempting to be on vacation and more casual, but even some of my more urban everyday outfits involve some Cheap Monday. I probably buy a handful of their things every season and they inadvertently become go-to pieces that I mix with much higher end designer pieces from Jil Sander, Maison Martin Margiela, Rick Owens (oh, I want

Retail Remedy: Topshop New York, An Inside Look at the newest cheap chic store in town

The fanfare, the fun, the frivolity, the fascination… I've finally had both the courage and time to make an inside trip to the brand-spanking new Topshop in New York to see what the greatest retail fuss in a long time is all about. It's been quite a while since I paid a visit to Topshop in London but do keep a media eye on its cutting edge trends, accessible pricing, and standing as a go-to Mecca for must-have cheap chic budget fashion. Topshop is nestled in the part of SoHo's lower Broadway that is sprinkled with major retail outposts to get the look for less like my favorites of Zara, Uniglo (picked up a Jean-Michel Basquiat T-shirt), H&M, Mango (the
