ruffles

A big hit has been ruffles! They can be used to look more sophisticated or to make your outfit look more exciting. Always keep in mind that some ruffles may make you look like a pirate, but do not be afraid to try!

under the sea

Even though winter is on its way does not mean that you wont be needing your swimsuit anymore. It just means you will need an even cuter one! Tankinis are in and my favorite thing to wear while swimming. They make it a whole lot easier when you need to use the restroom and you can mix and match the tops with different bottoms!

HOT HOT HOT

The weather these next few days is going to be blazing! Put away those hoddies and sweaters for the week and bring out the shorts and sandals.

This will keep you looking and feeling cool in the hot September sun.

jewels and jems

Hair accessories have been a big hit lately. I loved wearing flowers in my hair all summer, but now that winter is coming lets switch it up a bit. I have become a fan of jeweled headbands like this ...

 

Such a small detail can spice up your outfit in no time!

shoes

We all love those new pair of strappy heals you got right before summer started but now that winter is rolling in you will need something that will keep your toes from getting wet! So a classic black pump would be great, like this ...

 

Something that has become really popular are flower hair clips. I also like to use these accessories to clip onto the front of my heels to make them more special. Something like this ...

LBD

The classic little black dress has been around for as long as I can remember. You can go two ways with this: sexy or sophisticated.

sexy ...

lovely lace

Lace has been around for ages and can be used in so many different ways. You can see it on anyone from your grandma to a rocker. Here is how you can wear it right in your style.

If your the rocker ...

If your a sweetheart ...

Remember the different types and colors of lace and even the way it feels can portray a certain look. If you do lace wrong it will be noticeable. So do not go too over the top.



capri pants

A new style that recently hit the scene was capri pants! What a financial blessing it has been to those in need of a new style for no cost at all. You can go two ways with this, you can go buy some capri pants or just fold up a pair of your pants from last winter. It will save you a few bucks so you can get a cute new top!

On the street ...

homecoming

School just started and many girls are on the prowl for the perfect homecoming dress. No one wants to be seen with the same dress as another girl. If you are seen wearing the same dress everyone judges you on who wore it better. So here you can find out how to put your own style into your beautiful dress ...

A simple black dress like this one is bound to be seen more than once at a school dance but there are many ways to make it your own. To add a pop of color you can switch out the black ribbon for a bright pink, blue or green to make the dress look more youthful. Or you can add a cute sweater or cover up to get more coverage. Flower clips are great for your hair or to pin on your dress so be creative and have a wonderful night! 

sweater time

With a high of 80 and a low of 67 it is the perfect time for a light sweater to put on. If your going to school we all know it is an ice box in most classrooms and no one wants to bring a sweatshirt because its too complex to put on and take off. A cute cardigan or a knit sweater like this would be a perfect match ...

googoo for gaga

We all know Lady Gaga as someone who loves to be different and find outfits that she can truly express herself in. You better believe that this years MTV Video Music Awards was no different from before. She arrived in an Alexander McQueen gown ...

She later changed into a beautiful black Armani as she won the moonman for best pop video ...

Her last look of the night was something I have never seen before, a meat dress ...

Gaga is never one to go with the flow and wear a simple black dress and that's what makes her a fashion icon of our generation. Can't wait to see what she has planned out for the next appearance!

best and worst

MTV's Video Music Awards came and went this past Sunday, and lets hope that is the same with some of the outfits we saw. I would have to say my favorite look that i saw this year was worn by Ashley Greene from that Twilight Saga. Her dress was age appropriate and a classic black and white ...

Now for the worst dressed I saw many things that I was not pleased with. There was a lot of funky materials and strange textures that should never be seen again. I am sorry to say that Laurie Ann Gibson was the worst I saw on the white carpet. If she was walking the streets people would ask, "How much?" She has a beautiful body but needs to wear clothes that compliment it.

sunday best

One of the problems i face in the fall/winter is finding a cute church appropriate jacket to match my dress and keep me warm. First of all i love a good pea coat and this is the perfect opportunity to wear one!

When buying your first pea coat it is always a wise choice to get a basic neutral color. A black, white, shade of brown or even navy would be fabulous!

bonfire ready

A brisk night at the beach does not mean you have to throw on those old sweats. Here is your perfect bonfire outfit ...

These stretchy jeans will allow you to comfortably sit on the sand and the cute gold sandals wont get sand trapped in your shoe. The shawl will allow you to sit by the fire without being over heated. You will be looking your absolute best at the last summer bonfire!

layer on the leggings

Just about everyone has one pair of leggings and we all wear them in a different way. Here are two great ways to put your leggings to use this fall/winter season!

1. Wear them under your pants! It's an extra layer that will lock in the heat. They also look cool when under ripped jeans so you can see the different colors.

2. Another way is to put it under a skirt or dess for chuch or a special occasion.

brighten up your day

As the skys grow dark so does your wardwrobe. WRONG! I discovered that when cold weather hits everyone goes from wearing bright summer clothes to dark blues and shades of black. When you do this you ar not helping anyone! Add a pop of color to your outfit without looking too outrageous.

Different colors give off different moods. The color pink gives off a mood that makes you excited and others around you excited. The poncho and stretchy pants are comfy for one of those lazy days without looking completely lazy. People will enjoy being around you in this because of the bright vibe you will give off.

Fall into Fall

With summer coming to a close we all need to get into the mood for fall. Brake out those sweaters from that last cloudy day. Many people look outside and think clouds equal a hoodie and jeans. But here is your stop to gloomy hobo fashion this season. Switch out your pullover for a cute colorful sweater dress like this one ...

This dress with help you keep warm without bringing down your day. The sweater fabric will keep you warm but its length keeps you looking fresh. Paired with the correct boots and tights you will be looking the best out of your friends.
