What's New - Cosmic Fashion

August 2008 Fashion Horoscope by Lisa Marie Thibodeau

Aries

Scorching days require inner calm and the lightest, gauziest Velvet Torch ivory sundress.  You will wear it with a slim cardigan to the supermarket, with bare feet as you eat ice cream on your balcony late at night, and come autumn, you will even layer it over Levi’s and a tee.  Cool and poised is your late summer mantra.

Taurus

This month has you deconstructing your wardrobe from top to bottom.  Out go the boring and faded, and in come fresh polo’s, bright tees and True Religion denim.  One very cool Ed Hardy painted leather belt and you are ready to rock your new look.  Expect to be a magnet.

Gemini

Pops of mod are always interesting to you, especially in the dog days of summer.  A tiny plaid Rubbish miniskirt with a wide, low belt needs only a simple Three Dots tee and a patent leather shopper to keep it fresh.  Wear this look with your new super nerdy specs to be the cool breeze everybody’s waiting for.

Cancer

August makes you a little crabby, so boost your mood this month with happy colors.  A sunshine yellow silk blouse worn with blue wide leg sailors is sure to make you smile.  Fun can also be had with an Orla Kiely bright, floral handbag and a lunch date with the girls!

Leo

Leo loves a little attention.  Get yours this month with a safari-inspired giraffe print caftan worn over simple Danskin leggings.  Mix it up with green Guess wedges and a bracelet made from a seatbelt.  Now perch at the bar and await the many drinks which will surely come your way!   

Virgo

Skater dudes seem to know the secret to looking edgy without trying too hard.  They mix an O’Neill hoodie with board shorts and custom Vans and do not worry about their hair.  Take heed, Virgo; the laid back look is a good way to clear the head and keep the focus on having fun!

Libra

Libras need balance, so make sure you are strictly following the revolving door theory.  Sultry nights are the perfect time to clear out your closet and bag up some clothes to take to Crossroads! Of course, you will return with a bag or two of new stuff, but that’s okay, because it all evens out! It’s yoga for the mind.

Scorpio

Sweating isn’t your thing, so August finds you chilling out at home dressed in a Moth floaty lace hoodie and tiny Roxy denim shorts.  If you have to run out for an iced coffee, slip on super cute Taryn Rose leopard flats and a dab of vanilla scent, because you never know who you might bump into.

Sagittarius

Fire signs like you can take the summer heat, especially when they are rocking a Lacoste fitted tee, slouchy denim and Kenneth Cole slides.  If you must seek shade, make like fellow Sag Brad Pitt and throw on a newsboy.  This month you are a fashion inferno!  

Capricorn

Hawaiian breezes and turquoise waters beckon, so get packing, Cappy! Carefully fold your James Perse bermudas, a Mimi Chica ruffled skirt, tanks, bikinis and one huge Helen Kaminski straw hat into your vintage suitcase.    Before you know it, you will be sipping a pineapple drink at the swim up bar.

Aquarius

Quirky pieces keep catching your eye this month.  A hot orange Armani hoodie, baggy cargo pants and a stainless steel Diesel logo ring-- all nabbed from your neighborhood Crossroads-- single you out from the masses.  And shopping recycled is totally recession-proof!    

Pisces

Watercolors are fun right now, so dip into a long, sea green Juicy Couture maxi dress and turquoise platforms to feel fresh from the pool.   Add feathered hair and a strand of yellow prayer beads and you are perfectly channeling Charlie’s Angels!
