Chez Rone:The New and Ultra Fab Street Boutique

Chez Rone is a rookie the street boutique business but you could never tell by their chic and super affordable clothing and accessories.

Chez Rone’ Boutique Infuses Street Wear With Glam for New Online Shop:
Chez Rone’ Features Street Glam Fashion Brands for Women, by Women.

Kansas City, Mo - May 17, 2010.New street glam boutique, Chez Rone’
(ChezRone) brings feminine glam to the male dominated street wear fashion culture. Featuring independent brands from women designers across the country, Chez Rone’s selection of clothing, jewelry, shoes, bags and accessories fills the void for women wanting glamorous pieces with street
wear appeal.

Street wear fashion,made famous by skateboard teens, mixtape Djs, and rave scenters, seldom includes merchandise for women who love the culture,but also love feminine glamour.Chez Rone’ co-owner, Gabrielle Rone’understood this dilemma firsthand.“Much respect to street wear brands that authentically promote the culture,but I get sick of having to choose between that side of me and the side that wants to be glamorous and sexy,”says Gabrielle.“I started Chez Rone’ to highlight brands that seamlessly blend both street and glam fashion-a street glam boutique.”

Paige Rone’,buyer of Chez Rone’,scouts indie designers everywhere from Facebook to sneaker conventions.A featured brand on Chez Rone’, must meet two requirements: 1. Brands must represent authentic street glam fashion; 2. Women designers only.“Chez Rone’ lives the brands we feature,” says Paige.“Everything from the merchandise to the actual designers represents street glam fashion for women.”

By featuring indie women brands only, Chez Rone aims to navigate the street glam concept to the forefront of the street wear scene, earning women more options and opportunities.

Super Sad:(

The fashion industry has really been suffering as most industries are in this recession.Glamour magazine laid off seven staffers in the advertising depertament on 11/10/09. And in the wake of the sudden folding of Gourmet and Cookie(magazines), inside sources say the ladies at Lucky(magazine) (covering the sport of shopping, under the guidance of editor-in-chief Kim France) are particularly nervous about the next round of cuts.

It's a weird pic,right?
Keira Knightley is the cover girl of the much anticipated September fall issue For Vogue.The September Fall Issue is the magazine to pick up.It's jam packed with runway looks,trends and lovely interview with Miss Knightley.The cover headline reads that Keira is a “fashion star, pirate queen, history’s sexiest Duchess.” Her new film The Duchess actually opens in the UK on September 5 and in limited release in the USA on September 19.

From Gossip Girl to Supermodel?

Coming soon on a billboard near you...

Gossip Girl's own Jenny(Little J) Humphrey is on her way to mega stardom.Taylor Momsen recently signed with IMG models.There's no word yet on any fashion or cosmetic contracts. She is only fourteen,fourteen?!OK,there's no question of whether she is model material but isn't she a wee bit young for the industry? Only time will tell but as a fellow GG fan;I wish her the best of luck and a lengthy career.

New York's Cory Kennedy

Do you recognize her? You should.Miss Warren is a fairly new face in the modeling world.She's been signed to a prestigious NYC based model management firm when she was 15 years old. Taylor has since shot with some of the fashion industry’s leading photographers in New York, Europe and Asia; appearing in catalogs, print advertisements, on web sites & the runway for clients such as;

(Nylon Cover w/Cory Kennedy;October 2007)
DKNY, SIWY Denim, L’Oreal, K-Mart & MicroSoft, as well as in International fashion magazines such as Seventeen, BPM, J-17, Metro.Pop, WWD (2 Covers!), British Glamour, British Vogue, Quadrafoil, Intersection, Pig Magazine (cover), Orange Slice, NYLON numorous times including an interview, a feature and the cover of the October 2007 "IT GIRL" issue of NYLON Magazine shot by Matt Irwin.


Isn't she cute? She was recently given the title of Alpha Kitty.Say Whaaat?

Itsy Bitsy Yellow Polka Dot Bikini...

OK! we all know how many crunches we do to fit into that two piece bikini.All of our bodies are different.We came in an array or colors,shapes and sizes.There's a bathing suit for each of us that compliments our body.For example...

If you have a "boyish" shape like Keira Knightley:Keep it sexy by creating some curves by wearing one-piece suit with a high-on-the-thigh cut. A belted waistline on a one-piece suit will give the appearance of a whittled middle. So will a draped, surplice detail that pinches in at the waist, or a curvy seam line that runs down each side of the torso.


Urban Outfitters $19.99

If you have a pear shape(like me):Try pairing an eye-catching bikini or tankini top with subdued bottoms in a dark color. This type of swimsuit will draw attention toward your more appealing characteristics.



Urban Outfitters $48.00(cute tankni,pair it w/ a dark simple bottom.
Avoid boy shorts, too skimpy bottoms, or lots of ruffles and details at the hips.

If you have a small bust Try swimsuit tops with a touch of padding, or an under wire. Look for a top with adjustable straps at shoulders and around back so that you can tighten and adjust things, to help fill out the suit.

Think ruffles and triangle shaped cups and tie front.


Urban Outfitters $29.99 ONLINE ONLY

Avoid tops with too much fabric or have a poor fit. Opt for separates, where you can choose your top and bottom separately.

And last but not least,What if you have a large bust?


Halter-top bikinis can be a good choice by offering support, while providing some sexy cleavage too. Look for styles that are banded around the midriff and can be tied in back and around the neck. This style will give you some lift and will allow you to make adjustments for a personal fit.


Urban Outfitters $24.99 ONLINE ONLY!
If you want a one piece go with something with some structure in the bust, such as soft foam cups or at least, a shelf bra. Straight cut bust styles such as a classic tank can look clean and sporty.

Avoid Spaghetti straps and strapless bandeau tops. Look for a suit where you can order the top and bottom sizes separately.

Happy Shopping :-)

Boys have style too.

At Milan Fashion Week Gucci scurried from late year's look of Boho King to a more sophisticated and elite gentleman(a la Chuck Bass?)



Frida Giannini cleansed the Gucci palette for spring/summer 2009 with a light, fresh collection filled with embroidered and striped suiting, open-weave knits and stand-out Hawaiian prints.



Imagine every shade of blue, creamy whites and hot pinks working harmoniously in an array of outfits.Your dream just come true with the Gucci Men Spring/Summer Collection.



Within a formal silhouette that stuck largely to a suit-shirt-skinny tie-super sized leather tote formula, it was colour and print that added the typically cheeky Gucci wink.
Whether it was a leather bomber jacket,white jeans or funky rebellions it provided just the right amount of rock n roll rebellion.

Sneak Peek: Alexander Wang Resort Collection 2009

It' that time again to drool and heave over all of the designers'resort collections.Well,Mr.Alexander Wang had to be thinking about "a girl that lives on a boat that won't dare tip a toe into the ocean".His 2009 Resort Collection is magically nautical,classy and ultra feminine.



Ok,I'm not a fan of ANY shade of orange but this tiered low cut dress is gorgeous.The cinched waistline is extremely flattering to all body shapes.This is a mini-dress any girl can wear on the poolside sipping on some lemonade.



So many celebrities and people at school have been rocking this look:Over sized blazer,tank,short-shorts and glads.The only exception in this Wang ensemble is the sky high platform shoes.



Audrey Hepburn meets Mary Kate Olsen.



Upcoming Seniors(like me!),except the 'It' prom dress to be Grecian goddess esque.



All hail the captain.Hats especially super over the top hats have never been so fashionable&(convenient)now.You guys know how I feel about the adryongous look,it's a trend that won't fade in the near future.Indulge,add a fedora,blazer,oxfords,suspenders,leather bracelets,etc to a girly outfit.

Comments?

Accessories are key...

We all have those days when you just can't find any inspiration.Your outfit is dull and you feel dull.Maybe what you're really lacking is -accessories. A beaded headband and a long necklace can add something to a common graphic tee,skinnies&flats look.TIP:Don't over accessorize,it's not cute.Like Coco Chanel once said,always take off one thing before you leave the house.

My bargain (accessories) finds:



Retro Print Headbands.'Nuff said.



These unique statements studs are from Heritage 1981,the baby sister of Forever 21.It's just $4.50!!!



I love this! It is the territories pendant(32") necklace.I love the colors and the texture of the beads.This piece is so versatile.I can definitely see myself wearing this a white tee,denim cutoffs,bangles,glads and a large hobo bag.




Wow,I'm really doing the bohemninan thing lately.Anywho,this turquuse ring can only be found at Urban Outfitters for a debatble price of $18.Is it worth it?



Wow,this bracelet is gorgeous.It's the "Anissa Studded Bracelet" from Forever 21.This gorgeous,gorgeous bracelet is five antique metal filigree plates with faceted bead strung on elastic.
F21 loves us all so it's only...$7.80(final sale,btw).

Happy Accessorizing!
