Reviews of the latest trends in women's designer fashion
Summer 2007
It isn’t always easy to find fashionable casual clothes when you’re a woman of 50+. Especially with more and more department stores closing (we still miss Hecht’s). It seems there are less and less places to shop. Notice when you go into a department store many now have the young misses clothing in a place of prominence on the first floor. Of course, that’s because it’s young misses who are spending the money, or having the money spent by parents! We’ve just found a fabulous online store for plus size clothing. Igigi carries a selection of sexy and sophisticated plus...
The most widely recognized wardrobe staple in the world is the denim jean. You see them on everyone, everywhere you go. You see them on the young and the old, the rich and the poor. No matter what way the fashion pendulum might swing denim jeans are always in fashion.There are 450 million pairs of jeans sold in the US yearly. Jeans have also become a status symbol. If you’re so inclined it’s easy to spend $600 to $1000 or more for a pair of jeans. We did see a pair of Evisu men’s “Limited edition” jeans for sale online...
Some names are synonymous with quality. When we think about quality shoes we immediately think of Born. It’s one of two, the other being Clarks, that we particularly like for style, comfort and value. Born uses only the highest quality premium leather to make their finely handcrafted shoes and boots. Between us here at FashionBlast we own fourteen pairs, and they’re our favorite ones. We can guarantee two things when you buy a pair of Born sandals – that it won’t be the last pair you’ll buy and you’ll be wearing them for many summers to come. It’s easy to...
We were quite taken when we were looking at spring and summer shoes with the offerings from Betsey Johnson. We just happened upon them and along with their style what we were even more taken with was the fact that they aren’t nearly as pricey as we thought they’d be. Of course we’ve heard about Bestsey Johnson and have seen her outrageous and quirky fashions in the past but we never paid much attention. However, this time she’s caught our eye with her truly bohemian style and originality. These shoes, like all of Betsey Johnson’s fashions are fun, flirty, and...
One thing we strive to do here at FashionBlast is include women of all sizes. As much as we love their fashions we realize that a large at an online store like eLuxury is a US size 10, not even big enough for most of us here. There’s been an explosion in the world of plus size fashion in just the past five years. Designers have finally figured out what a lot of us have known all along, that we’re not all size 6 or 8, or even 10. Today the choice of fashion styles for plus size women are endless. What...
We love the dresses of summer. Endless designs offered in lightweight fabrics that are colorful, fun, flirty and sexy. So easy to slip into and so comfortable, they’re an effortless way to look fabulous. It’s time to enjoy the warm breezes of summer in these skin baring designs. These lovely summer dresses are just a sampling of the dresses we found at LuLu’s Fashion Lounge. - Click this image to check out all the fabulous fashions at LuLu’s Sweet, soft and sexy are the only way to describe these summer dresses. The first dress is a halter sundress in...

Even thought most of us here at FashionBlast wear one piece bathing suits we didn’t want to leave out our friends who wear bikinis. We actually learned something about bikinis while searching out these bargains for you. We learned that a Brazilian bikini doesn’t mean a bikini made in Brazil, it describes any bikini bottom that is skimpy and that sits low on the hips. A Brazilian bikini bottom provides only half of the coverage of a regular bikini bottom, obviously for the more daring of us…. We’ve seen some very sexy and daring bikini bottoms such as a Brazilian...
We know that shopping for jeans can be a frustrating experience. Just who are they made to fit anyway? Certainly not most of us. Statistics show that the average woman tries on nine pairs of jeans before finding a pair that fits. With the advent of stretch material finding comfortable jeans has become easier. Manufacturers of woman’s jeans are also trying to help us find our perfect fit with a dizzying array of cuts and styles. As we have the same fit issues that you do we’ve got a few suggestions we hope will make finding your perfect jeans just a bit...
We believe that every woman has the right to feel beautiful, and we believe that every woman has the right to splurge on fantastic lingerie. We love knowing that we look as good on the “inside” as we do on the “outside”, and we know that we feel a certain boost when we wear our favorite bra and panties. There are dozens of styles of bras to choose from such as backless , balcony, bandeau, bustiers, convertible, demi and front-closure bras. There are also leisure bras, minimizer bras, no-wire bras, padded and plunge bras. More bra styles are push-up, racerback,...

We love this line of sexy and flirty shirts, tops, tees, tunics, sweaters and dresses from Miami designer Stacy Frati. They are fun and colorful and flattering. You’ll find what seems to be an endless selection of colors and patterns and styles in this designer line called Sweet Pea. This line has best been described as bohemian and we have to agree. Even those of us here at FashionBlast who would never consider ourselves bohemian have fallen for these styles. And talk about choices! Sweet Pea has loads of them. Perhaps you want a shawl collar top, or a v...
