Funny name eh? hehe

Ok I’m back from my Olympic high, I have to echo the words of Asafa Powell and say thanks to Beijing for putting on the JAlympics! BTW I am soooooo proud and happy for Asafa who is now validated as an Olympic gold medalist.

But back to fashion. So it’s the "fall" shopping season now, colder climates up north means new trends to look for and well, for us who will still be feeling the heat of the Jamaican/Caribbean sun right thru, it means sales on all the summer clothes that they’re now unloading to make way for winter boots and coats.

New on the scene (again) are plaids and other checked fabrics. This Halogen Jacket and Calvin Klein Dress is really calling my name.

I wish the weather would dip, this jacket is screaming my name!

I absolutely hate the houndstooth print…but maybe in a cap?

A cute plaid vest for us warm weather fashionistas

Guys have been long sporting the plaid bermudas

And what about the maxi dress? Jamaicans are loving the maxi dress trend and we’re seeing them on the beach, at the club, at the parties, even at work! The prints are getting even more exotic and colourful and the single color maxi is doing just as well. I’m gonna ask my peoples tho to lay off the purple maxi, I’m SOOO tired of seeing that one.

yes that one, in purple, waaaaaaaaaaay common and maxi prints and varities vary way too much for there to be so many of the same floating around. I’m in love with this silk one from Bebe

There’s the usual cotton print

Ohhh sexy chiffon

How about some designer duds…keep you summer sexy cool going in Diane von Furstenburg

Roberto Cavalli (I LOVE THIS)

I’m not sure who Blake Lively was wearing here but i LOVE the colour on this maxi

Or keep it local in Lubica



I’m loving those blue ones. That’s it for my trend updates, what else is wearing now divas?

It was super-hard to pick a winner for the Keneea dress , i really wanted to give it up to one of my lurkers who came out to comment and show birthday love for FOS but those comments we’re lacking…don’t be shy guys! The winner was Kerri who showed the most love for the dress and for FOS (DrKizzy the dress was almost yours but you JUST won something on site so I decided to spread the love, I have a Mosiah Tee for you tho!)

Thanks to all entrants, the Sprawl giveaway is still running and I have new ones for this coming week so keep the FOS love coming! Thanks again to all my readers and supporters over the past year.

  2. omg the CK dress is HAWWWWT
    as for those maxi dresses… i am in LOVE with the unusual cotton print….. only thing i would change is the colour (green ^_^) and what i like about the Maxi is that it doesnt HAVE to be worn by just small ppl. It fits small and plus sized just as good (yay for that!).

    Man FOS ur putting me in touch with my inner colourful, bold, daring fashionista :D Just have to show the love for that! Congrats on your 1 yr anniversary and i wish u many more years of bigger and better thigns!

  3. Well alrighty Ms. Kerri… u got it… well done.
    Hmmmm…. a Mosiah Tee, huh? Alrite mi can do dat to ;)

  4. I recognize the Roberto Cavalli dress…Lauren wore it to the Hills premiere. Anyhoo…those plaid things are hugly! And bulky bulky…not a style I could see myself sporting.
