Animal Faces instead of Animal Prints... Trend or Fad?!?

Many people are ditching last season's leopard and other various prints for an actual animal on a sweater, tee, etc. To many, the prints are a bit much and seem more like a middle school fad than a current fashion train to jump on.

Corduroy Jeggings--Good Idea or Bad Idea?

We’re still debating the pros and cons of jeggings, even though they’ve been around since last year.

Let’s face it: you either love them or you hate them, but you can’t deny they’re pretty comfortable.

And American Eagle’s the latest brand to venture into the realm of tights/pants combos.

But in a twist to the cargo and destroyed styles that we’re used to seeing in denim, they’ve thrown corduroy into the mix.

We’re all about texture, but this might be taking it a bit too far.

The good news is-they are currently at American Eagle on sale for $30.
