Get This Dress for Less.

 Yep, this is a HOT dress! But as a Tall Diva on a budget, $495 is not a part of my recessionary spending. Fringe is in this season as Nicole Fiscella of "Gossip Girl" and Kourtney Kardasian can attest. Foley + Corinna has mastered this trend in their Ombre Fringe Dress, a sexy throwback to the flapper era of the 1920's. Paired with ankle boots or pumps this outfit will give the illusion of longer legs, which is always attractive. If cost is a factor Tall Fashionista has found a similar version at half the price!

Black and Gray Flapper Dress by  Body Language $172.00 

This black and gray flapper dress by Body Language is also made from ombre fringe- which delicately drapes down the dress. This dress has the same appeal as the Foley + Corinna, but at half the price.

LongTallSally.co.uk has launched LongTallSally.com.

I am also in love with the oversized slouchy beret trend. This hot item can be seen everywhere from TV and fashion runways to the city streets. As always with trends, if you're not sure you can pull it off, but want to try it out, do not spend a large amount of money. I found the Rubbish Slouch Beret below at Nordstroms for just $14.00.

I’ve always had a problem finding gloves. I have this thing about keeping my wrists covered and warm during the winter. I think it has something to do with the fact that when I was younger my mom could never find coats with long enough sleeves for her  6’ little girl so she would make mittens out of socks that were longer. My mom has stopped making me mittens but my fetish for long gloves has not yet ceased. Also, these type of gloves are now in vogue! Who knew my mom was such a trendsetter?

As the weather gets colder we need to keep warm. You can keep warm in anything but keeping warm and fashionable-that's the challenge. Better yet, keeping warm and while tall and fashionable, that's the ultimate challenge. Now,  the biggest trend for coats for this season is the high collar. This trend is stylish and practical. Try this trend and keep your style as high as the collar on your outerwear!
