Tis The Season

Tis' the season to be jolly. I haven't had much time to continuously update my blog, which saddens me in many ways, but nonetheless I am going to try and be more frequent at writing and updating it. That shall be my New Years Resolution, now that I think of it... any who, with winter comes many new changes in fashion and many new opportunities to show your true fashion capacity. In the warmer seasons, it is very easy to throw a cute sundress and some wedges on and be fashionable, the winter tends to "limit" the certain things you can wear. However, winter is one of my favorite fashion seasons because it allows you to layer. Layering is extremely important in the winter seasons because a.) you want to stay warm and b.) you want to stay fabulous. There are many easy tips that I can give to help you turn your summer wardrobe into a winter wardrobe, and here are a few:

1. Pair summer shorts with black/grey wool leggings or knee high socks for the ultimate winter combo.
2. Do the same with skirts and or dresses.
3. Layer t-shirts with knit wool sweaters.
4. Wear wool socks with your heels/flats.
5. Accessorize using chunky knit scarves and hats to add an instant winter-y feel.
6. Put your light denim jacket underneath your heavy leather coat.

Although there are many more tips I could give, the only way to truly extend your wardrobe into the winter, is to experiment. See what looks good together and rock it!

PS. Stay fashionable ;)

Fall into Fall

So, fashion's favorite season is back. I have read every 600 page September issue that there was to read, and I like what I'm seeing. The classic's are back. Camel, army green, chocolate browns and deep blacks and purples are the "it" colors this fall. So pull out your black tights and giant fall scarves because fall is back, and it's bigger than ever. Happy fall everyone!

Bonjour!

Long time no post. I've had no time to really sit down and give my blog the attention it deserves. Considering it is 3:07 am right now, I thought it would be the perfect opportunity to pick up the slack. I would like to suggest a wonderful new site that I discovered, which I am TOTALLY in love with. The website is www.Zara.com, it's a wonderful website with amazing clothes, look-books, and so much more. Not only does Zara give you wonderful ideas for new outfits consisting of the clothes you already have but on September 2nd you'll be able to shop online, and purchase some of their wonderfully fashionable clothes (which by the way are wicked cheap!). This website is a must-have bookmark for all you fashionista's out there. I hope you're all having a wonderful summer and staying effortlessly beautiful.

Do It Yourself: "ULTRA DESTROYED DENIM"

Because denim is huge for 2010 I thought I would write a post about DIY ultra destroyed denim. Here is a step by step way to make ultra destroyed denim out of an old pair of jeans.




THINGS YOU WILL NEED:
Scissors, pipette, bleach, newspaper, a pair of jeans that you will be willing to destroy, clothes drier and a sharp rock.
PLEASE BE CAREFUL WITH THE SHARP OBJECTS THAT YOU WILL BE USING.


1. Lay newspaper all over surface where you will be destroying the jeans.
2. Lay jeans out so both of the legs are even and there are no folded spots.
3. Take your pipette and fill it will bleach.
4. Spray bleach wherever you want there to be bleach spots on your jeans.
5. After bleaching the front and the back of the pants, put the jeans in the drier.
6. After pants are dry place them back on the newspaper and plan out where you want to make the cuts for the holes.
7. Using scissors, cut the jeans wherever you want the holes.
8. After you have made all of the cuts that you want, use a sharp rock to loosen the threads on the outside of the cuts to give a more rugged and uneven look. 
9. After distressing the threads, put the jeans in the drier for a little while to loosen the threads even more.
10. Continue rubbing the rock on your pants until you've reached the desired amount of destroyed.


Obviously you can make changes to how you will make your ultra-destroyed denim depending on how destroyed you want your pants to be. If you want to make yours more unique you can even buy some cute patches of cloth at any local fabric store and sew patches on your destroyed jeans. Although this may take a lot of time and effort, you will look effortlessly fashionable afterwards. Best of luck!

Summer is here!

It's that time again ladies! Now that summer is here, and the craving to bask in the sun is more prevalent than ever, we need to cover ourselves up! Hats, sunglasses, sunscreen and umbrellas are a must-have for the beach this year. With UVA and UVB ray being at their highest we all need to protect and preserve our skin for the future. But don't fret, this doesn't mean we can't all achieve that beautiful summer glow. I've had my share of experiences with bronzers and I thought I would share my favorites. My absolute favorite all-over body bronzer is the Victoria's Secret Sunkissed Bronze Instant Self Tan Lotion With Tint. It is incredibly natural looking with a slight shimmer. My favorite bronzer powder for your face is the Bare Minerals All Over Face Color in Faux Tan. It's an extremely light mineral powder that gives you a 100% natural looking tan on your face. I've used this product for over 2 years and I've never had any problems with it. So with all of that being said, please keep your skin safe this summer, and most of all have fun. Because all of us women are effortlessly beautiful.
