We Love Our Fellow Bloggers!

Bonjour!

We hope you all had a lovely weekend! We are so excited for Thanksgiving and are sure it would be accurate to say that a lot of you out there could use a little R&R, good food, and good company. We sure could!

Before we get into today's post, we want to take this opportunity to say thank you to our fans: new and old. All of your recent support for Y&C is so sweet and we really appreciate it! Like all of you reading this right now, we LOVE fashion. We are so grateful to be able to share this passion with you.

Speaking of passion, today we would like to give a shout-out to our friend and talented up-and-coming writer Courtney Todd. She writes for our school newspaper and also takes advantage of any opportunity to talk fashion! (sound familiar??) She has a deep passion for writing and we here at LotYaC love her work!
    I, Lyndsey, recently had the pleasure of sitting down and being interviewed by her. It was such a great experience and I want to thank her so much for her interest in my 'fashion thoughts'! I got the chance to talk about fashion and really express who I am as a (as Courtney put it) "Fashionista and Fashion Blogger". Check out her blog on wordpress as well as my interview with her!
   Also, I've decided to incorporate an interesting accessory to one of my outfits this week, can you guess what it is??


Stay Flawless and Fabulous!
Love,
Lyndsey and Jenn

**Style Spotlight** -- Victoria Beckham

Hello there readers of Young and Chic!  Hope you all had a fabulous weekend! We would like to thank all of our new followers on blogspot and Twitter and for liking us on Facebook!!  It's great to see that you all enjoy the blog!! But we need more! Please tell your friends about Young and Chic and if you haven't already, like us on Facebook and follow us @YoungandChic and here on our blog!!  

We really don't know how it is  possible but we have been blogging for LotYaC for about 8 months now and somehow we have not yet paid homage to the subject of today's STYLE SPOTLIGHT. She is a fashionista who has been inspiring us for years. She has been known for her style since the beginning of her career as a member of one of the greatest (fact-not opinion) girl bands of all time!  More recently she has broken into the fashion scene as one of the most talented and stylish designers in the industry.  This mom/wife/pop-star/fashionista/designer/entrepreneur is one of our absolute favorite people in the fashion industry and pretty much life.  Have you guessed who this flawless and fabulous fashionista is yet??

Yupp! You guessed right! Today's STYLE SPOTLIGHT is shining on the one and only Victoria Beckham! When the Spice Girls hit the pop scene in the early 90's the one we all wanted to be was Posh.  We all wished we could pull of the "little black Gucci dress" and the brown bob that she wore so well, and admit it on many a Halloween we have all attempted to pull off the patented "Posh Look".


As her career continued and she moved from pop-star to fashion icon her style became a little more mature, a little more high fashion and a little more fabulous.  Roberto Cavalli, Dolce and Gabbana and Marc Jacobs are just a few of the designers that have made some major appearances in her wardrobe.  As time goes on Victoria seems to get more and more stylish with each pair of insanely high stilettos she puts on.



She finally made her entree into the fashion world as a designer creating her line of eyewear and denim called dVb. Following these lines she entered the world of high fashion and has created season after season of fabulous garments.  Her chic, flattering and feminine line is impressing the most elite critics in the business and has won the favor of many celebs including Eva Longoria and Demi Moore.


It's pretty obvious why Victoria Beckham is such an inspiration to us.  Not many women can balance four children (Brooklyn, Cruz, Romeo and new baby Harper), a full career, fielding invitations to social events like the royal wedding, being an international celebrity and looking incredibly chic every step of the way.  And even fewer women can do it with the grace and-there is just no other word for it- Posh-ness that Victoria exhibits everyday.  We simply cannot wait to see what Posh has in store for us next!!  We are however completely positive that it will be flawless and fabulous!

Stay Flawless and Fabulous!
Love,
Lyndsey and Jenn

Faux Real??

Hello Young and Chic people of the world! We hope you have been enjoying our flawless and fabulous tweets!! Please do not forget to follow us @YoungandChic and tell your friends too!!

So let's dive right into our FASHION FIXATION du jour, which (as you may have guessed from our title) is all about the faux fur vest! Here at Y&C, we are always inspired by Rachel Zoe. Zoe's mix of glamor with a 70s vibe is so Flawless and Fabulous. Our favorite part of her style, the faux fur. It was only a matter of time before we added it to our wardrobes.

As with any trend, there are many things to keep in mind when shopping for a fur vest. First, inspect the quality of the fur. Some are great and some are not. The ideal vests will have soft and tame fur rather than ratty, cheap, and unruly fur. Second, the style. Things to take into consideration: length, collar/sans collar, pockets, and color. All of these factors can be completely personalized to suit your perfect vest. Finally, it is time to consider the sad truth about fashion: price. Some brands, like BB Dakota, are modestly prices and are also great quality. If you are looking for a more upscale brand, look no further than Rachel Zoe's collection.

So definitely make sure to check out this trend!! You will be sure to turn heads! And in the words of Kurt on Glee tonight "I can't help but pull focus...sorry."

Stay Flawless and Fabulous!
Love,
Lyndsey and Jenn
