It’s fresh, fall-like and totally appropriate for any and all fall parties – not just Halloween ones!

9 Cute Mod Dresses …

9 Cute Mod Dresses …

Mod Dresses are making a huge comeback, with good reason. Mod culture and fashion have been in flux since the 1950s when the super cute trend set the stage for feminine liberation in Britain. Slashing hemlines by several inches and sporting a plethora of colorful patterns, mod dresses represent a movement in favor of feminine allure. Playful, comfortable, and a bit more modest than your typical micromini, mod dresses allow you to add a bit of flirtatiousness to your everyday wardrobe. Below are 8 cute mod dresses that truly incorporate the mod mentality.

1. Mod-ern Amenities Dress

Price: $87.99 at modcloth.com
For those ladies who are still experimenting with the classic, boxy shape characteristic of most mod dresses, here’s a junior edition that will help ease you into it. This eyelet, cotton shift combines a more severe silhouette with girlish frill and pomp for a mod-inspired look.

3. Sample 1004 from ModCloth

4. Lunain Block-Color Jersey Dress

Price: $150.00 at theoutnet.com
Mod tends to be skimpy: short sleeves, short skirts, and open necklines tend to epitomize this adorable subculture. Unfortunately, this means that mod dresses are all too often summer attire. Rock this look through the winter with this long-sleeved, fully lined, color-block jersey dress. Wear with tights, leather boots, and a tight bun to mimic the look to a T.

5. Sweet Osmanthus Shift

6. Lace Frill Sleeve Bodycon Dress

Price: $110.00 at us.topshop.com
Perhaps a bit more Betty Draper than Twiggy, this lace bodycon dress nonetheless manages to strike a beautiful and eye-catching balance between mod color and housewifery. It is, in fact, one of the cutest mod dresses I’ve seen. Its flared sleeves and lace bodice and skirt bespeak a modest innocence counterbalanced by the saucy cut and scandalous hemline. Wear with a pair of patent nude stilettos and a thick gold link necklace for some cheeky sex appeal.

7. Diane von Furstenberg ‘Lorah’ Dress

Decade after decade, denim ceases to get old. As the durable material ages, designers and manufacturer alike become more adept in its manipulation. The result is a plethora of items in this beloved fabric, including this supremely trendy frock from Dorothy Perkins. With rolled sleeves, front pocket, and brass features, this mod silhouette can remain in the mod era with a pair of sleek brogues or can even go hippie with a pair of fringed Minnetonka ankle boots.

9. Khaki Seam Detail Dress

Price: $45.07 at dorothyperkins.com
Heather grey and boasting the look of suede, this sophisticated mini is sure to turn heads with its risqué length and minimal coverage. Sporting visible seams, this sensual little frock adopts the tailored, structured look so reminiscent of the original mod dresses. Wear with set of Jeffrey Campbell platform wedges and tasseled earring and you’ve got a look that to die for.
Cute mod dresses may be a summer staple, but many of them are specifically designed for fashionable fall wear as well. Perhaps you’ve dabbled in vintage before, but just haven’t felt bold or spunky enough to pick up some mod dresses for your wardrobe. Rest assured that these scanty pieces are a solid investment, not just for fall but for every season. Paired with tights and boots they offer you an amazing winter alternative to thermals and long johns and during the summer they help you escape the heat.

9 Biker-Style Boots …

9 Biker-Style Boots …

Biker Boots are a mainstay on the fashion scene. They’re great for toughening up a typically feminine look, or for completing an androgynous outfit. Biker boots come in a range of styles, lengths, and colours. If you haven’t done so already, add a pair of biker boots to your capsule wardrobe. Take a look at a few biker-style boots below.

1. Topshop Miffin Black Biker Boot

Price: $75.00 at us.topshop.com
These short ankle boots are a great everyday choice. They have a relaxed design and feature double buckle detailing on the outside ankle. They also have a fur lining, which is great for keeping your feet warm in the cooler months. Wear these boots with slouchy dipped-hem dresses, thick tights, and anoraks for a chic daytime look.

2. Forever21 Suedette Biker Boots

Price: $27.80 at forever21.com
Steer away from typical black biker boots in these light brown ones from Forever21. They are made from a suedette material and feature a round toe and buckled accent at the front. These boots feature a split shaft and have a thick flat heel. Wear these with sweaters and jeans for a casual weekend look.

3. Chloe Leather Biker Boots

Price: $1045.00 at net-a-porter.com
These boots are an expensive designer option. They come in a classic short biker style and feature a short patent heel. They also have a buckled ankle strap and double zip fastening at the ankle. Work a minimalist aesthetic and wear these boots with an all-black outfit.

4. Blowfish Tough Love Biker Boot

Price: $128.07 at asos.com
If you’re after a longer-length biker boot then these are a great option. They have straps at the ankles and cuffs, and feature D-ring detailing. They have a seamed design and simply pull on. Boots like these look best worn over skinny jeans or tights.

5. Marc by Marc Jacobs Buckled Leather Ankle Boots

Price: $350.00 at net-a-porter.com
These black biker boots are my favourites. They have a round toe, curved cuff, and featured designer-stamped gold buckles. They also have a gripped sole with a short heel. These boots simply pull on and would look great worn with an floaty silk blouse, black skinny jeans, and metallic handbag.

6. Gucci Leather Bonneville Biker Boot

Price: $765.00 at mytheresa.com
These black boots have a certain toughness to them. They feature buckle fastening straps, silver-tone hardware, and exposed outside zippers. They also have a stitched and welted sole. Work a grunge inspired look and wear these with exposed legs, an A-line mini skirt, and oversized sweater.

7. Robert Bernsen Woven Strap Biker Boots

Price: $219.54 at asos.com
These biker-style boots have a simple pull-on design. They feature woven straps, eyelet details, and low stacked heels. They are a short cut on the leg with leather uppers and a tab at the opening. These are a classic style of biker boot and are quite versatile.

8. No. 6 Classic Biker Buckle Boot

Price: $345.00 at lagarconne.com
These boots won’t be to everyone’s liking, but they certainly are a twist on the classic biker design. These ankle height boots have seaming at the heel and ankle, adjustable buckle detailing, and a zip at the inner side. The main point of difference of these boots is the wooden clog-style heel. These are definitely for those who are after something a bit different.

9. Topshop Armour Leather Biker Boots

Price: $140.00 at us.topshop.com
These boots have that typically tough biker appeal. They are made from 100% leather and feature silver buckle details and inner side zips. They also have a grip sole. Offset the toughness of these boots by wearing them with floaty feminine skirts.

Biker boots are ideal for adding a tough edge to your outfits. Ideally, shorter ankle length boots are a more versatile option. If you’re after an alternative to basic black, keep an eye out for biker boots in different colours. What do you thin of these biker boots?

Pamper your significant other with one of these best gifts for guys, but before you start your perfect gift hunt, please take into consideration my previous unfortunate experiences and remember that unless the man in question is gay, any kind of clothes (sweaters, shirts, even designer ones) or perfumes are not seeing by men as the best present.

20. The Complete Harry Potter – perfect gift for a fan

This might seem strange at first, but if the guy you need a gift for is a Harry Potter fan (and I’ve seen plenty of guys like that on the opening night of the last Harry Potter movie), this could be just the perfect gift for him!  With the movie franchise just ending, a lot of people are either finally turning to the books or buying them again. If your favorite male recipient longs to play Quidditch and wants to make the magic last, think about the complete Harry Potter collection – it’s really a steal at that price!

21. Metal Detector

I don’t know what it is, but a ton of men really think that if they only had a metal detector, they could get rich. My dad, for instance, has dreams of buried treasure and every time my family vacations on the beach, I know he wishes he had one of these babies. If there’s a guy in your life who longs to explore, go ahead and get him a real, live, professional metal detector! We know there’s no pirate treasure buried in the back yard, but we can let him dream, right?

If your man has always secretly wanted to be James Bond – or if these would come in handy for his business – don’t be afraid to drop the Benjamins.

Your man can keep state secrets safely hidden … or he can make sure that he definitely has his PowerPoint presentation safely at hand.

23. Classic Coca Cola Mini Fridge

To be able to kick back, watch the game, reach over, and have a cold drink right at hand – what man wouldn’t love that? Many mini fridges can get really expensive, but it’s all about size. This vintage looking Coke machine fridge holds a six pack, so what more do you need?

25. GPS

It’s true, nowadays a lot of people already have a GPS. However, some guys are just resisting the urge, even though they really, really want it.

So don’t make him ask – just get it for him!

Forever.
