What's New - Cosmic Fashion

July 2008 Fashion Horoscope by Lisa Marie Thibodeau

Aries

Take your cue this month from fellow Arian and style superstar, Sarah Jessica Parker.  A creative Anna Sui patchwork dress paired with Dior Extreme rocker sandals channel classic Carrie.  Sex it up a little more with a sleek Fendi baguette bag, and then book your trip to NYC.

Taurus

July is hat season and a jaunty white Hermes fedora is just the thing to help keep you cool.  Pair with Totem denim shorts, a filmy pink tee and a huge plastic tote and then head to the farmers market for juicy berries, fresh peaches and local honey.

Gemini

Cute Gemini boys intuitively understand that fashion is about having fun.  Mix up your basic Levi’s, cargos and chino shorts with t-shirts you and your friends rip, shred and then spray paint graffiti on.  Give a prize to the most artful one and then celebrate with microbrews!

Cancer

Cool whites are beckoning as the hot July sun blazes down.  Be an oasis of calm in Roxy white cropped denim, an eggshell satin trapeze blouse and Camper cork wedges.  Adorn simply with black pearls and your uncanny ability to evoke serenity.

Leo

Fellow lion-goddess Kim Cattrall knows how to work her hourglass.  Follow the leader this month and pour yourself into a long, lean, scarf-print Tibi dress and skyscraper-high Betsey Johnson python platforms.  A slash of eyeliner and one bold, yellow diamond ring and you are ready to prowl the city.   

Virgo

Frugal Virgos know how to operate when the economy is spiraling.  They tighten their belts, pack up bags of clothes and take the bus down to their neighborhood Crossroads.  Sweet deals await those who know how to shop the smart way!

Libra

Libra men are the lovers of the zodiac.  You need a closet stocked with good denim (for casual dates), excellent, well-cut suits (for weddings) and one really great pair of all-terrain sandals.  Wear them camping, to the beach and when you go to place your order for long-stemmed roses.

Scorpio

Duck into a cool theatre this month to hide from all that bright sunshine.  First armor yourself in a shield of black Tuleh pants, a mod print Ali Ro silk caftan and of-the-minute gold gladiators.  If you’re still feeling exposed, slide on dark oversized sunglasses and sit in the very last row.

Sagittarius

Plucky Sags love July for its pool parties, strawberry shortcakes and super short-shorts.  A barely-there pair of L.A.M.B. fire engine red shorts needs only a purple tee, Converse All Stars and a Francesco Biasia metallic shopper to look blazingly hot.  You’ll make them melt like ice cream sitting in the sun!  

Capricorn

Hot July has Caps feeling a bit wilted.  Give yourself a summer boost with an awesome pair of Jessica Simpson crinkled metallic ballet flats.  These chic, comfy little slippers worn with a flirty bubble dress will have you back on your toes and dancing under the stars.

Aquarius

Midsummer nights make you yearn for Mexico, frozen margaritas and one long, white, gauzy Rachel Pally halter dress.  Wear it with cowboy boots and turquoise beads for horseback rides or with satin thongs and a hibiscus flower in your hair to marry on the beach.    

Pisces

Pi-guys love playing footsie.  This summer, forgo shoes all together and go everywhere in just your trusty GAP chinos, buttery-soft cashmere tee’s and your naked tootsies.  Okay, slip on Cole Haan sandals for going out if you must, but still tickle your honey under the table!
