Geren Ford's Intimate Side

Trend Alert: All Black
Nothing says chic like dressing in all black. This darkness makes for instant drama and sex appeal. There are no rules to styling this trend, so get creative when putting your outfit together.
Trend Alert: Fluid Silk Tops
There's something magical about mixing together the hard and soft. Take for instance fluid silk tops. Alone, these romantic blouses can come off overly girly, but the trick is to style them with sleek pants and hard-edge adornments.
Fab Finds of the Week: Drapery
Are you all going to a party and not inviting me? Since I'll be busy with Fashion Week, I'll let you slide on this one. Your Fab finds were all about romantic ruffles, flowy necklines, and draped bodices.Online Sale Alert! Delightful Discounts at Rarechic
I love checking out Rarechic.com because they stock some of the hottest labels. Sadly, most of the items don't agree with my paycheck so I tend to wait it out until a sale hits. Right now, Rarechic is offering 30 to 70 percent off an abundant selection of clothes and handbags.
The Look for Less: Geren Ford Silk Ruffle Dress
When I saw Lauren Conrad in this Geren Ford Ruffle Dress ($207, originally $345), I knew I had to have it. I heart the flirty ruffles and the light silk texture is perfect for the summertime heat. Since she's a star, and I'm not (boo), I'd like to find something more in my price range.
Trend Alert: Cut It Out
If you're down with the roaring '80s, it's high time for you to cut it out. Agyness Deyn always manages to look like she just fashionably rolled out of bed and this look is no exception. Besides the crazy hair and strange look her boyfriend's giving her, I'm lusting over her radical red cutout top.
Update! Geren Ford for Urban Outfitters
The entire first batch of Urban Outfitters' designer collaborations hasn't hit stores yet, but we have a glimpse of Geren Ford's affordable line, HAWKS. Tops, dresses, and shorts are priced between $48 to $128; some resemble pieces from Ford's higher-priced line. I'm looking forward to snatching signature Geren Ford ruffles at Urban Outfitters prices.
Fab Flash: Geren Ford, Charlotte Ronson, and More Collaborate With Urban Outfitters
