Airbag Backpack →
This bag is made of recycled materials - exploded airbags along with truck tarps and old seat belts - and waterproof. We also think it looks pretty cool. Ladies and gentleman, here’s fashion being sexy and practical.

I can certainly say that I love food as much as I love fashion. These pieces of jewelry - which also embrace two other things I love, king cake and New Orleans - are a must have this Carnival season. My only concern is that I may try to eat them!

Let's get some shoes.
Heels that I tried on at Banana Republic yesterday that I can’t afford but will likely buy anyway:
The Jana Peep-Toe Pump
The Laurel Color-Block Pump
The Parker High-Heel Penny Loafer
Leah Peep-Toe Wedge
I may name my future children after these.

We’ve all been there. We begin the year by making resolutions for 2012—we’ll exercise three times a week, we’ll finally clean that junk drawer, we’ll start eating healthier—but it’s the end of the month, and not only have you not color-coordinated your wardrobe, but all that shiny resolve seems to have been discarded amid the pile...

Ugh! J. Crew
I have a minor (okay, major) obsession with J.Crew. They’ve released their Spring catalog and I haven’t stopped drooling since:
They were right - I do love them. How did they know?!
My only problem with J. Crew is that their products are generally obnoxiously expensive and woefully out of my price range. How cruel, right?! I mean, look at this shiz:
This freaking bag. How good...

from Refinery 29
We think heels are damn sexy, but wearing them too often can actually be harmful! According to “science” anyway. FCM tends to put fashion before safety, but we choose to look at this situation like this - wearing heels is fun and makes you look super mega foxy awesome hot, but wearing them only occasionally makes the shoe choice more noticeable and impactful than if...

Runway to Reality: Tangerine
What I Wore author Jessica Quirk gives some advice on how to wear tangerine!
WhatIWore: Not only did Pantone named Tangerine color of the year, we saw loads of head to toe orange looks on the runway for Spring 2012 (like this look from Milly). If you don’t already have this citrusy bright shade in your closet, perhaps now is the time to bring this runway look to reality? Above: Jacket and...

How To Root For The Giants Without Looking Like A... →
One of our biggest pet peeves here at FCM is whenever sports fans attempt to represent their teams by sporting certain colors and look horrible doing it. Ladies, take off those jerseys - they’re unflattering! This is a handy guide for dressing like a Giants fan in lieu of the upcoming game (the Superbrawl or something). We’re not huge football fans at FCM (the jerseys are too matchy...

There’s never really a bad time to be young, tall and beautiful — but some times are better for milking it than others. This is one of those times. Grab your comp cards, throw on some skinny jeans and stilettos and hit the pavement, because there’s a bounty of modeling opportunities coming up in the next few weeks. Here’s a rundown:

Baby, It's Cold Outside
I’ve written about cold weather fashion before, but sometimes when it’s really freezing outside the only thing I want to wear is a warm blanket. Well, now there’s a way to employ the blanket tactic in public.
