Spring Trend: One Shoulder Dresses

posted by:

I always try to keep you up to date with the newest trends and the one shoulder dress is HUGE for the spring/summer. These dresses are very classy. The key is balance once again and with the one shoulder dress you are leaving things to the imagination because you are not wearing something too revealing. Here are a few dresses I found at LuLus. All of these dresses are great for all occasions and under $50!

LaLa Love Dress $33

Divine Approval Dress $33

Festival de Cannes $40

Heart Stopper Dress $37

She’s All That $33

The next two dresses are not under$50 but they just look so cute, comfy, and casual

Anna Pauqin by Theme $56

Anna Paquin Dess by Theme $56

All of these items can be purchased at www.lulus.com

Style Files: Forever21 Beauty and the Beach

posted by:

Summer is near and Forever 21 recently showcased the lookbook for their 2010 Swim Collection. The collection became available in stores and online Monday March 1, 2010. I love the name “Beauty and the Beach” clever.

I like the black and white one piece with the leather jacket. Of course I would not wear it with a leather but it’s still cute.

Style Files: Suit Me Softly

posted by:

I know you are probably like, what I mean by “suit me softly” well I didn’t come up with the phrase (you’ll find out later in the post). There is a trend called “soft suiting” where you would generally take pieces that would normally be part of a suit or have suit like qualities and create a look. So I can take a blazer, pair of cuffed city shorts, and a tank  or maybe a loose fitting t-shirt, vest, and shorts or a skirt and that would make a “soft suit.”

Here are some looks

  1. Drawstring waist cuffed city short $25
  2. Linen Stretch Shorts $22
  3. Kulotte Short $14
  4. Linen Roll-Up Blazer $32
  5. Open Front Menswear Vest $26
  6. Striped Linen Blazer $32

Aren’t the prices fantastic! Well that’s because these items come from Charlotte Russe. Extremely affordable and fashionable. You can’t go wrong. You don’t have to be rich to be fashionable!

I purchased the vest and the kulotte shorts in black.

Kiss It Good Bye: Arden B. Sale

posted by:

So the end of Winter and the end of Summer are probably two of my favorite times to shop. This is when all of your favorite stores have the best sales ever! They have buy one get one 50% off or even better, buy one and get the other for $5. Yes I said $5! That is the latest promotion from Arden B.

Here is what I recently purchased online

Exposed Zipper Floral Skirt for $24.99

I love skirts like these because they are so fun and easy to wear. So if the girls call last minute and say they want to do brunch, just throw in this skirt with a tank, so flats, a necklace and 1 or 2 big bangles and call it a day.

Military Front Tube for $5 (original sale price $14.99)

I have a few things to pair with this military/nautical stripe tube top. I’ll most likely wear it with some dark denim or white shorts or some skinny jeans (you can’t go wrong with those) I think I may even pair them with some white khaki style pants. Of course with a red wedge heel! Lol

Once you are done with your purchase they will offer you $100 value in merchandis which is pretty much just magazines lol. They give you up to 4 selections. I already subscribe to a few so I chose Harper’s Bazaar because my subscription recently ended. It was only $2 to activate the subscription also. Not bad in my opinion.

Everything else I wanted was out of stock for my size or I just wasn’t interested. I’m learning not just to buy things because they are on sale. So I spent $37.43 including the $5 shipping and handling and taxes and the 1-yr magazine subscription. Not bad. A great start for my spring/summer wardrobe. I’ll  continue to post my future purchases.

Ok Angela has really been on her A game lately! You all know that she is my favorite Simmons’ kid and this is why. I posted a pic of Angela and Vanessa on Friday, but here is Angela alone (I’ll do Vanessa’s post later this week) at the Tarin Tarantino Beauty Party in flower print leggings, black booties, boyfriend shirt, black bustier. She makes looking good effortless. Here is Angela’s look for less.

Korto Momolu of Project Runway

posted by:

Korto from Project Runway is clearly showing that she should have taken the title. I think she was underestimated as a designer and her show at NYFW proves this to be true. Her line is vibrant, innovative, and functional. REAL WOMEN can be seen in her pieces. Some designers create looks that people try wear as RTW and they just end up looking a mess. Korto, on the other hand, has an eye for sophistication and elegance. You will not look ordinary in her pieces and that is what’s needed in fashion today.

Spring Trend: Jumpsuits (Revamped)

posted by:

So even though jumpsuits are not “new” to the fashion world nad re-emerged within the past few seasons, they are brighter, bolder and funkier this Spring. You will see more bolder patterns, assymetrical structure (one shoulder), mesh, deep Vs, sequins and bright colors. Pair these jumpsuits with boyfriend blazers, bold necklaces and a killer shoe.
