What do they mean? More importantly, what do they translate to for the everyday wearer? So, this is why today my blog features Elisha Cuthbert. She is not here as a style icon, nor for her alleged celebrity antics and especially not for her catalogue of &#8220;choice&#8221; film roles. I have featured the aforementioned Miss. Cuthbert to show how one of these trends translates into a wearable look. I&#8217;ll label my trend &#8220;Boyish Girl&#8221; (also known as &#8220;Boy Meets Girl,&#8221; &#8220;Manish!&#8221; etc.) On the catwalk at\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/www.karllagerfeld.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" title=\"Karl Lagerfeld\">Lagerfeld<\/a>&#8216;s 2007 show, we see a very severe look &#8211; military lapels, stiff high collars, a very precise ensemble. Elisha Cuthbert achieves an on-trend style but with a softer feel &#8211; a more subtle boyish cut, a girlish bow, high waisted, yet looser trousers; giving us mere mortals a glimpse at a more manageable look. I get trends, I understand them. I do not feel a compulsion to follow them religiously (\u00e0 la Miss. Beckham) but I will borrow from them. I will not however, truly understand this bizarre pigeon holing and naming process.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Trend names have been known to drive me to distraction.
