We asked: Are Leggings In or Out?
You said: It seems that Leggings are Out of style. Only 17% of you think they’re still in style, and a whopping 44% say they’re Out. And another 39% say that they’re on the way out.
Omiru’s take: Though the throwback to the 80s was charming for a short while, it seems that the romance of the past (at least with these leggings) is over. The problem we see with them is that they’re just not super flattering. The short-skirt-over-leggings look that seems to be this year’s frilly-skirt-with-Uggs works for the uber-leggy, but what about the rest of us? And given the wealth of other fashion choices out there, aren’t there more flattering options? Leggings were fun while they lasted, but it’s time to move on.

Spring is here, and pedicured toes will soon be popping out everywhere. But using a drab flat flip-flop to debut your Spring pedicure is not going to cut it anymore. Instead, put your feet on a pedestal – both literally and figuratively – and let your little toes breathe high and mighty.

Whether or not it’s freezing outside, a new layering trend has been spotted on the runways and models. Unlike the Marc Jacobs throw-on-everything-you-have-in-your-closet version seen at New York Fashion Week, this new type of clothing on clothing is strictly for jackets. Model Gemma Ward was seen sporting the look on the streets, while Sasha Pivovarova wore it on the runway (as seen at Style Tribe). Here are a few coats that will layer nicely (unless you live in a desert).
Pair #1: You can wear the floral print style under or over the khaki coat, but I would recommend the latter so that the beautiful details of the floral coat stand out.
Gold Brocade Blazer | $99.99 (sale) at Banana Republic
Pair #2: For a sportier look, the hoodie goes underneath the jean jacket.
Authentic Hoodie | $19.99 (sale) at Gap
Leather Jean Jacket | $198 at Gap
Pair #3: The bright hue peeking out from the herringbone short-sleeve jacket will be adorable.
Rubbish Half Sleeve Jacket | $48 at Nordstrom
Nick & Mo Short Sleeve Jacket | $54 at Nordstrom

Spotted by Omiru at San Jose State University.
Now that spring has finally arrived, the laws of fashion instruct us to move all of our fall-friendly apparel to the back of the closet – but laws are always meant to be broken. That said, it is ultimately reasonable to keep those blazers and scarves out for at least one more month to remain academically hip.
To achieve this look of collegiate panache, take the oh-so-popular professional blazer and jeans look and make it your own by adding your favorite scarf. The result? – a stylish professor-like look that holds a good balance of geek chic and street savvy. Students will be asking you for help on their mid-term papers in no time.

We asked: Is Nautical Fashion In or Out?
You said: Looks like Nautical Fashion is still in. Most (59%) see Nautical Fashion as a Classic, and another 23% believe that it’s a trend that’s still in style. Only 13% think it’s Out of style, and another 5% consider it on the way out.
Omiru’s take: We’re fans of Nautical Fashion, and we definitely think it’s still in. While we do see it as a classic (think: navy blue, crisp white, and Ralph Lauren advertisements), it’s definitely being hyped as a trend…as it has been for the last couple of seasons. While we’re wearing the trend, we’re being mindful of going overboard.

The scene at the Discarded to Divine event put on by St.
Vincent de Paul Society of San Francisco
was truly delightful. Hundreds of fashion enthusiasts gathered at the Gensler
building and
celebrated not only their love of fashion, but also their compassion for charity. It wasn’t your average fashion show with runways and bright lights, but it was
sophisticated, fun, and for a great cause!
The Crowd: Men in suits, teenage girls with metallic belts
and purses, ladies in skirts and jeans.
The Food: Finger foods like shrimp, guacamole, carrots,
broccoli, celery, and crackers.
The Clothes: Different pieces were sewn together by SF State and FIDM students to make funky
outfits. We saw a wife-beater-turned-dress, a jacket with unique
patches sewn on the back, and a long dress with a head piece reminiscent of the dress of women from the Middle East.
The Models: Amateur models with heavy makeup and teased hair
strutted their stuff while guests nibbled away.
