get that look: HINT OF LACE

Lace can be so feminine, elegant and sexy; it gives just a peak, a tease, of skin.  It's sweet and sexy all at the same time!


We love how Whitney Port has on an almost catsuit-like outfit and then there is just a bit of lace around the shoulders.  She has contrasted edgy and lady-like and it looks amazing!  You can put a similar sweet and sexy look together with the Jenny Han Lace Trim Tank in Black paired with the Kasil Benatar Izabella in Fog

CLICK HERE TO BUY NOW!

get that look: WIDE LEG JEANS

Dark, wide leg jeans are so flattering.  Because they are wide all the way down the leg they camouflage problem areas like thighs and rear.  Plus a dark color is always a smart and slimming choice!


Penelope Cruz looks great in her dark, wide leg denim.  Get a similar look right now at Badjoan.com with the Karmel & Alden Kate Jean


Other wide leg alternatives by Kasil are the Democracy Sullivan and the Democracy Hudson.

get that look: BLACK, WHITE AND MICKEY MOUSE

We all know that black and white are colors that go with everything.  According to Ashlee Simpson Wentz apparently that also includes Mickey Mouse!


Mouse or no mouse, we think Ashlee looks fabulous.  She kept the colors and silhouettes simple and flattering and it totally works.  You can put together a similar look right now on Badjoan.com!  Start with the Kasil Benatar Izabella skinny jeans, pair them with the Purp7e Striped Tie Top, and throw on the Rails Nia Jacket to stay warm.  Finally top it all off with the Initium Sticky Fingers sunglasses in Black/Ivory.  Sorry we don't have any Mickey Mouse items to go with your outfit but you never know what the future will hold...

get that look: WHITE SUNGLASSES

White sunglasses are a break from the norm.  They stand out and make a fashion statement. 


Rihanna and beau Matt Kemp look so adorable together in their ultra cool shades.  As always, Rihanna showcases her unique and stand out style with a bold pair of slightly off white sunglasses. 


You can get a similar look right now on Badjoan.com with several different frames from Initium Eyewear.  For a slightly off white look try the Sticky Fingers in Yellow Horn.  For a more traditional white with a slight wrap feel try the Laguna Sunrise in Crystal Ivory.  Or for a very 80's/Ray Ban feel try the Vunderground in Polished White with Flash Mirror Lenses.


To finish off this look you'll need to get your man a pair of glasses too!  For an aviator look like Matt Kemp's try the Initium Fillmore frames in Gunmetal.

Now you're all set for your paparazzi shots!

gift guide: VALENTINES DAY

Valentine's Day is just around the corner so you better get your man a gift and hint around at what you want too!  Here are some ideas we've come up with for you and him available right now on Badjoan.com:

GIFTS FOR HIM:
We just got in some great silk ties from Tucker Paisley.  They are skinny ties measuring 3 inches across at the widest point and feature the Tucker Paisley signature paisley print. 


We also just got in a bunch of sunglasses styles from Initium Eyewear.  Most of these styles are unisex so if you get a pair for your man you could always borrow them!  Plus they are a favorite of hottie musicians everywhere so when your man wears them you can pretend he's a famous rock star...


The La Guardia frames were spotted on hottie Brandon Boyd from Incubus.  These are available in Polished Black, Amber Fade or Crystal Green.


We've also got Hard Eights a favorite of funk master George Clinton. 


Plus the O'Hare seen on Method Man.  These are available in Black/Ivory, Ivory/Tortoise, Crystal Blue, Polished Black and Tortoise.


Or for a slightly sleeker look try the Heathrow style as seen on Interpol's Sam Forgarino.

GIFTS FOR HER:
Let's face it, men don't want to guess at what you want so just tell them what you want!  Or better yet "accidentally" email him this post....


Chocolate hearts are fun but they are also fattening and they only last for a short while.  The Lisa K Double Heart Necklace, on the other hand, will last forever and won't add any inches around your middle.  This necklace is available in Gold/Pearl and Gold/Black and makes a perfect Vday gift!


We also love the Lisa K Pink Ombre Necklace and Earrings set as a Vday gift since it's pink and fun like this holiday should be.

And of course there is always the gift that keeps on giving... Bad Joan Gift Certificates!

These glasses just scream cool!  We love the square edges and vintage feel to this style.  They've almost got an aviator feel but without those annoying noise pieces that get stuck in your hair... you know what we're talking about ladies.  This style comes in several color choices including Black Horn, Ivory/Tortoise and Tortoise Brown but our favorite is the Blue Brown with Brown Lenses (seen here).

trend watch: STRAPLESS

Dust your shoulders off because strapless is the way to go!  Celebs step out in strapless dresses of all shapes, sizes and styles to show off their fabulous shoulders.


Carrie Underwood sports a knee-length number while Taylor Swift shows off her gorgeous gams and Alicia Keys layers over leggings!  The one thing they all have in common is that they are showing some serious shoulder.  A strapless cut is so flattering and feminine and you can get tons of strapless looks right now at Badjoan.com!

For a short and sassy look try the Strapless Ruffle Trim Dress by Jenny Han available in Black, Rosebud or Taupe


For a slightly longer but still spicey look try the Strapless Ruffle Dress or the Strapless Dress with Belt both by Itsola.


Don't want to show any leg?  Not a problem.  You can still show some shoulder while covering your stems with the Strapless Maxi Dress by Jenny Han.  Or go in a different direction with the Knot Tube Jumper by Farron Elizabeth.  If you don't like to wear dresses but still like the strapless look, this tubesuit is the perfect fit!

spotted: TUCKER PAISLEY MOLLY TOTE


Ashley Greene was spotted over Golden Globes weekend with her Tucker Paisley Molly Tote.  Good thing we still have a few Molly Totes in stock on Badjoan.com!  Ashley's bag is currently available in Olive and Lilac/Gunmetal.  This bag is big enough to be an everyday bag but with the hand held feeling of a clutch!
