What Does Fall Mean In Terms Of Jewelry?

This is the first post from one of TFAS's new interns. Her name is Angelena, and she has a blog called Hipster Scum. She will be writing about jewelry and other fashion related things. I hope you like her posts and the other intern's posts.

This fall seems to be following a scheme of seven major trends some we were expecting and maybe some that were a little more unexpected. Naturally when we think of fall we think of mother earth and it definitely shows with the current trends rearing their heads for fall. Every time fall comes around I get really excited because majority of my favorite accessories are fall related in origin. Plus I've always been a girl to pay homage to mother earth.

So without further rambling here are the current trends that are topping the charts in the jewelry department according to Savvy Anne. Anne Rush is currently a professional design director in the  fashion jewelry business in NYC. She has directed fashion jewelry lines for Kenneth Cole, Monet, Sigrid Olsen, Liz Claiborne, Ellen Tracey, and Jennifer Lopez, and others. Definitely a jewelry insider and one you can trust to point you in the right direction

TOP JEWELRY TRENDS FOR F/W 2010:

Bold Statements and Mixed Media
The ever so popular statement necklace has been super hot for quite some time now and it definitely isn't slowing down. Although spring focused on pastels and brights and not necessary gargantuan necklaces fall is calling for bigger. Also the more mixed media the better. Whether it's mixing textures, patterns, types of gems or jewels, or even just mixed metals the more eccentric the mix the better. So use fall as the opportunity to think outside your comfort zone and go big or go home.  

Brazil Finally Gets A Plus Size Magazine

 

  I think this is a great idea for Brazil. I hope the magazine does extremely well in Brazil. The cover model is the beautiful Fluvia, and you can't go wrong Brazil's top plus size model export. The magazine's mission, of building self esteem, is one I can stand behind.

From the press release:

First Plus Size women's magazine in Brazil

On the cover Fluvia Lacerda

     In early June 2010 will be a novelty at all newsstands in Brazil.
Publisher Digicamp which is in the market for more than nine years with
the Tour Guides will launch a new magazine for female.
     The Beleza Em Curvas (Beauty  os Curves) is a new concept of women's
magazine is the first publication of the Plus Size segment in Brazil.
There you will find several themes of the feminine as: Fashion, Beauty,
Health, Welfare, Gender and Behaviour. Interviews with people from
different areas and renowned celebrities.
     The editorial fashion is one of the main points of the magazine, which
each month will bring a model wearing the clothes of the main garment
above the dummy 46.
     The goal of the magazine is to show the readers of this universe that
actually exist Plus Size women, like them and that can and should show
to all people who are happy the way they are. And prove to herself that
the self-esteem is fundamental to good being of any person.
     With national (Brazil)distribution and dedicated to the public between
20 to 50 years for class B and C. Beleza Em Curvas magazine takes a lot
of information to serious journalism and with plenty of entertainment
for readers, and of course always emphasizing self-esteem.

Remember That Announcement I Said I Was Going To Make Last Week...

Well Here It Is.....

From Freelance Folder

 The Fat and Skinny is a work in progress. Since this blog has changed from hobby to graduate school thesis project, more changes are coming. I am trying to turn TFAS into an online fashion magazine/blogazine.

As you may have noticed, I get a few guests posts on the blog every now and then. I am trying to branch out by having more writers on the blog.

 Sooo...

I looking for fashion journalism interns.

The Fat and Skinny on Fashion is looking for interns that know how to blog and probably have their own blogs, love fashion,love to take style photos of their outfits or the outfits of others, and love to write. If you need college credit, great! If you don't need college credit, that's fine too. Unfortunately this internship is unpaid, but you do get clips. The internship starts as soon as possible.

Since this is obviously an online internship, TFAS is seeking writers from around the world.

Topics TFAS is looking for:

International Fashion News
Domestic Fashion News
Accessories
Jewelry
Beauty
Straight/Plus Size Fashion
Top Model News
Menswear

Please send your resume, 1 or 2 writing samples, or your blog address to the following address thefatandskinnyblog[at]gmail[dot]com with the subject title "The Fat and Skinny Internship."

Great News Coming For Plus Size Fatshionistas!

New Shoes Up At TFAS Shop!

From RackedNY: 

Saks Fifth Avenue is about to become the only major retailer in the city to carry plus-sized womenswear by names like Chanel and Dolce & Gabbana. Coming very soon to the department store's super high-end third floor, fall and winter plus-sized pieces will be mixed right in with existing stock—most of which would formerly have only been available in sizes ranging to a 10. Stock will reach size 14 across the board, and in some cases—depending on the brand—will go up to a size 20. 

From Worn Through

Honestly I think this is a great idea. Finally people are waking up and seeing that plus size women want nice clothes too. They are going to have extended sizes from brands like from Akris, Armani, Carolina Herrera, Escada, Donna Karan, St. John, Oscar de la Renta, Max Mara, Valentino and Michael Kors, Yves Saint Laurent, Alexander McQueen, Fendi and Roberto Cavalli. If all goes well in the New York store, then they will roll this out to other stores across the country. Hopefully other high-end stores will take note.
