Over the Knee Boots

Over the knee high boots is currently one of the biggest shoe trends. People love them because of their ability to make your leg seem substantially longer than it truly is, and it slims your figure. There is a thin line between classy and trashy when wearing these boots, and many people seem to confuse the two. These boots attract a lot of attention to the legs. This means that your top half must be calm and modest. Dresses in my opinion look the best with over the knee boots and give a sense of class and self confidence. Another master tip to rocking over the knee boots is not allowing more then five inches between the edge of your boots and your hemline. Follow these simple tips and you will be able to dominate the streets in your over the knee boots.

Oscars 2017 Fashion

Chrissy Teigen

Emma Roberts

Emma Stone, Jessica Biel, Charlize Theron

One of the biggest trends I noticed on the red carpet this year were gold and shimmering detailing. Gleaming dresses are perfect for the Oscars, and especially for photographs. The light reflects off of the gown well and is very attention grabbing, which is what most people look for in a big event like this. Some women were able to pull off the gold while others could not. Gold is a very difficult color to wear, especially if you are fair skinned. The tanner the girl, the greater the contrast is. Therefore, the dress will appear more flattering. They took older fashions, and made them modern. Such as, Emma Stone's fringe dress. Most of the outfits worn were very stylish, classy, and complementary to the women on the red carpet.

Grammy's 2017 After Party

The outfits that were worn at the Grammy after parties made up for the lack of beautiful clothes at the Grammy's themselves. The rich and famous took these events to express themselves through expensive brand name clothing. Halsey (left) expressed her unique and attention grabbing personality with a mixed pattern outfit. The outfit had a lot of red detailing which is very flattering on her skin tone. Halsey's outfit was very unique and distinctive, just like her alternative music. Jhene Aiko (right) stays up to date with the current trends, wearing her thigh high boots and a slip dress with a shimmering effect. Jhene's outfit was alluring which is alined with her singing and performing style. Both Halsey and Jhene stayed authentic to who they are and what they stand for as musicians.

Grammy's 2017 Fashion

I could say that the outfits of the red carpet this year were interesting. But that would be a total understatement. This was the first year that I watched the Grammy's and didn't fall in love with any outfit. I was underwhelmed, but hey thats just me. I believe the most talked about outfit was CeeLo Green and that was only for the memes. I truly only liked two outfits, and they were: Skylar Grey (Left) and Paris Jackson (Right). Skylar is wearing a classy blouse dress with a slit in the front. This is very unique and shows a sophistication. Paris is wearing very earthy tones that really bring out her eyes. The sparkles on her dress were done in a very tasteful way that made it look expensive rather than painstakingly bling. The shape also complimented her figure, especially with the high waist to make her legs look longer. Looking forward to see what the Oscar's Red Carpet will bring!

Fishnet Tights

Fishnet tights sound scary to people at first. They sound grunge and goth to most people initially. But, now this idea is becoming increasingly mainstream and more "tumblr." Fishnet tights are mainly worn under distressed boyfriend jeans, it is styled this way so you can see the fishnet under the holes. If or when you wear a cropped shirt you can catch a glimpse of the fishnet tights above the waistline, and at the bottom of the jeans above the shoes. They add another layer of complexity to your wardrobe. Some may be intimidated by this trend, and you have the right to be, but don't let this intimidation stop you from slaying the city streets. 

Bodysuits

Bodysuits are coming back from the 70s and are taking this season by storm. The Kardashians wear them with almost every outfit and women all over are following right along. Especially for the winter, bodysuits are so perfect because they tuck into your pants and stay in place so it keeps you warm. There are so many different types of body suits that can be worn for many different occasions. Bodysuits are also perfect for low rise jeans. Now, when your jeans fall, you don't need to worry about what people might see. With a body suit it stays tucked in to your pants for a nice, classy, and sleek look. If you don't have a bodysuit yet you should totally try it and see how life changing it is.

What Has Fashion Become?

What in the world happened to fashion? Online shopping and sweatpants, that's what happened! Have you noticed that every decade people tend to get lazier and lazier? People stopped going to the mall to buy clothes because they rather sit in their beds and be lazy. Don't deny the fact that online shopping is a struggle. You need to buy clothes before you try them on. Online shopping is more expensive (shipping price), more inefficient (shipping time, may have to return if it doesn't fit), and your missing out of the joy of physically touching and finding clothes (many clothes don't look the same online). Everyone is so worried about being comfortable, and they think the only way to achieve this is by wearing sweatpants and sweatshirts. People have this idea in their head that jeans are tight and restrictive, and therefore people stray away from wearing them. But hello wake up people we're in the 21st  century! Why do you think they invented jeggings anyway? You're as comfortable as if you are wearing leggings, but you look as stylish as if you were wearing jeans. Dressing lazy makes you feel tired and unproductive. Do society and yourself a favor and wear your jeggings and a cute t-shirt and see how much more confident and energetic you really can be.

NYFW The Shows

Liberatore

Dugi

PM Waterlily

New York Fashion Week The Shows are famous all around the world. New York Fashion Week, held in February and September of each year, is a semi-annual series of events (generally lasting 7–9 days) when international fashion collections are shown to buyers, the press, and the general public. It is one of four major fashion weeks in the world, collectively known as the "Big 4", along with those in Paris, London and Milan. It is every fashionistas dream to go inside and view these exclusive shows. It has always been my dream, and somehow with crazy luck, my dream came true. I went to see 3 shows; Francesca Liberatore, Orlando Dugi, and PM Waterlily (Patricia Michaels). The energy and excitement in the room is contagious and you wish it to never end. Each show was different and distinct in its own way and that's what made it so special. Liberatore's collection was very flowy and simplistic with a clear inspiration of the NYC skyline. Dugi's collection was very structured with attention to form and fit, it felt Chinese Dynasty inspired. Michaels' collection was very different from all the rest because she payed close attention to how the outfits would move on the body and catch air while walking. She had many small details which made it very intriguing. When I saw PM Waterlily it felt like I was seeing a water goddess show. I had so much fun and every show was amazing and unique. I can't wait to go hopefully next year again.

Lately I have been very busy with college applications and haven't had much time to blog. This weekend I was fortunate enough to go to NYFW. I got to see Francesca Liberatore's show because I was invited through Marist College, PA. The show was amazing and I saw Kelley Osbourne! When I was in the hotel elevator I saw a man wearing a Style Fashion Week pass. I asked him if there was any way he can get me to see a show. He said, "I'm actually leaving tomorrow morning so you can have my pass and see shows tomorrow. Fashion Police was recording an episode at one of the shows and it was unbelievable seeing Tim Gunn just a couple feet away from me. I saw two shows, Dugi and PM Waterlilly, they were both stunning and I got the opportunity to meet many people from the fashion industry. I will be writing posts for each show individually and describe them more detailed. I will also be posting pictures from the shows. NYFW is obviously about the amazing fashion shows but a big part of it is also what goes on outside of the show doors. The street style in NYC is so creative and unique during the week because the most fashion forward people are in the city. They are not afraid to be different. I took many streetsyle pictures along with pictures of the shows. I will be posting the pictures and trends that I noticed later on. I will be posting a lot more often so I hope you like what's coming up and feel free to subscribe to my blog so you will get notified when I post a new blog post.

Socks

Socks are essential this season. They are so comfortable and can be a great accessory to add something interesting to your outfit. Crew socks are awesome for when you are wearing booties, they add a little pop of interest to even the most simple outfits. Knee high socks are also great under your fall boots, they tend to add a fall/wintery feel to your outfit and bring the whole look together. My favorite is the thigh high socks. Since no one wears tights anymore under dresses or skirts this is the best and most stylish alternative. It can go with so many different looks and can keep you warm while adding an edge to your ensemble. Thigh high socks are comfortable, sexy, fashionable and ideal for layering or to show off. So go out, buy yourself any type of sock and show it off!!!

Fall Style

This upcoming fall, plaid and flannels are back. In a big way. Different shapes, styles and colors are appearing in many stores. Big brand companies are taking the basic plaid flannel and making it big. A flannel is sometimes as comfortable as a big sweater but is a lot more stylish and anyone can pull it off. Plaid skirts have always been paired with the idea of private schools and preppy girls. But lately brands like Brandy Melville and American Apparel are bringing it back for the modern girl with an edge. Also flannel dresses are a new, but still yet to become, famous trend. Flannel dresses are so cool and comfortable and really makes you stand out of the crowd (in a good way). Normally when people think of plaid they associate it with private school uniforms, and when they think of flannels they think of cowboys. I want you to get this stereotype basic thinking out of your head. Plaid and flannel is the upcoming trend for the girl who likes to dress cool and a little different from everyone else. Do me a favor and this fall go buy yourself a flannel and wear it on a casual day paired with some jeans. Pair a plaid skirt with some stockings, a cute sweater and some tall boots, wear this, and I promise you will feel and look like you are ready to take on fall.

Black is the New Black continued...

You know how I said in an earlier post that "black is the new black"? Well this girl that I met in New York City proves my point even more. She shows us just how cool and different black can really be. You can start to get a sense of the type of person she is just by the way she styled this outfit. I challenge you to go put on some black clothes and then make your personality scream out from underneath.

Accesories

Distinct, exponential, and noteworthy necklaces and shoes is what you should be looking for when assembling an outfit for this season. These two elements can make your outfit different, special, and standout from others. You can convey a great deal about yourself through the accessories you choose to wear. Don't be afraid to try big, bulky, and bright statement jewelry. It transmits a sense of confidence. And about shoes.... seriously wear whatever you slide into and immediately give you a feeling of superiority. If your accessories don't make you feel great about yourself then it is not doing it's job.

Sunglasses

Keep your eyes protected this summer, sunglasses are all the new rave. Sunglasses are functional and funky and they are a great way to express yourself. I have no clue why but every type of shade that you can possibly think of is all coming back. 60's thick frame, 70's circles, 80's crazy colors, 90's huge lenses, 2000's aviators. Somehow oddly enough even heart shapped sunglasses found their way into today's style. Whatever type of sunglasses you pick, be crazy and be you. 

Short Hair

The weather is getting warmer so  your hair should be getting shorter. This season its all about hair to your shoulders, if not shorter. It's enough with the long hair, now is the time to make a change. Be bold, be different! I recently cut my hair short and I love it, something about it just makes me feel upbeat and easy going. Shorter hair makes you look thinner and allows people to focus on your face, not just on your long hair which is dragging you down. Cutting your hair also makes it look much healthier and tends to give it a certain shine. Short hair is very easy to control and doesn't involve too much work. I believe you cant go wrong with having hair of the length between your shoulders and your chin . Of course there's always the fear that chopping your long locks off will make you look like a mom, tired and lazy. I have a few tips to do the non-mom bob. First, texture, texture, texture, make sure your hair isn't flat and lifeless. There are many creams and shampoos you can use to create this effortless texture. With short hair its very easy and quick to curl. If your like me and you struggle with curling hair, you should try the flat iron waves. Twist your hair and straighten, its that quick and easy. So if you were wondering whats next for your hair, chop it off! Go the short way, it's effortless, beautiful, and looks great on everyone. If you decided to chop off your hair or have any questions, comment below I would love to reply ;)

The New Year - 2015

2015 is about to start. Now is the time to make a new years resolution and follow through. Now is the time to start over, change and be the person you want to be. Promise yourself that this year, will be a better year... well at least for your wardrobe ;) Start putting in some effort into your appearance. Maybe change things up a little, get a haircut, buy a nice watch, start working out. Make a small change that will make you feel good about yourself. This is the perfect time to start experimenting with your own style. Don't dress like everybody else, be different and I assure you, you will get many compliments. Feeling good starts with looking good. If you put on an outfit which is a little bold, with your amazing heels, and your gorgeous new haircut, I'm sure you will feel confident. This confidence resonates to other people. People will notice you more and approach you much faster. Wear what you always dreamed of wearing, that's the perfect way to start the new year.
Thank you for reading my blog, hopefully this year I will have more time to post. May 2015 be a great year for all of you!

Black is the New Black

This summer I traveled in Europe, in some of the biggest fashion cities. I realized that most of the time when outfits really popped out to me, was when the girls were wearing black. I love the color black because it can be casual and cool yet fancy. Black can literally be worn whenever, and wherever you want. Its versatility and simplicity intrigues me. Many times wearing black is very slimming and can also hide your unwanted curves. Personally, when I wear black, I like to keep a calm palate throughout the rest of my outfit. I almost feel that black is a color which should be  admired, rather then distracted by another bold color. Don't take me wrong, I love pairing up black with other colors. My three favorite colors to pair up black with are; olive green, maroon, and white. If you decide to just wear black then you have to always remember to accessorize. A bold necklace and a nice purse are great things to add to a simple black outfit. Try it out and play with your outfit. Black is a great color to personalize and be creative with. Don't be afraid to take risks and express yourself.

Summer Styles

Depending on where you live, summer is a difficult season to dress cute because it's hot and humid and you don't feel like having your clothes cling onto you. When I'm picking out what to wear I normally revert to my high waisted shorts and a crop top. High waisted shorts are extremely figure flattering to any body type. High waisted shorts make you look like you have long legs, a toned stomach, and a cute butt. There are so many different styles to choose from. There are basic jeans, to flower print, to galaxy themed. There are more classy ones that you can dress up with a nicer, more simple top and a bold necklace. It is very much in style at the moment to wear high waisted shorts with a graphic tee crop top. It makes you look cool and fashion forward. You can give off many different vibes depending on how you dress it up. I really enjoy the look of high waisted shorts and a crop top because crop tops are perfect for the summer. They have a lot of air circulation and in general keeps you much cooler than a regular tee or tank.  Have a cool and sweatless summer ;)

Leather

Leather has become a major material in clothing recently. I do not mean the heavy real leather, like leather jackets that you would normally
picture, they are very expensive. I mean fo-leather; it is very affordable and extremely modern. This season the rocker look is trending! You will be seeing a lot of black and white, and interesting materials. I think leather shirts are probably one of the coolest things out there at the moment. Not necessarily a shirt all covered in leather, but more a shirt that has clever placings of leather on it. It can look almost innocent but add some rocking gray jeans, and black combat boots, and you can look like a bad-ass. This look can totally boost your self-esteem, and make you feel confident and cool. Leather dresses are so amazingly genius. Even to a fancier event or a causal party, leather dresses could add personality and give you the extra attention you are looking for! I think if you add leather to any part of your outfit it will make you be noticed and give you an edge.

Ombré

 The problem with me is I get bored of my hair very quickly. So I decided to let it grow and try this new summer trend that I love so much. I recently dyed my hair ombré, and I love it! If you are worried about ruining your hair but love ombré and want to try this, don't worry. If an experienced person is bleaching your hair and paying attention while they are doing it, your hair should not get destroyed. Depending on how dark your hair is that is what decides how much bleach you need. They have to use bleach and use two different shades of dye. This didn't necessarily hurt my hair it just changed it a bit. Now my hair is a bit more dry and wavy-ish. I don't think this is only from my ombré though, my hair was already changing a little before I dyed it. Hair changes every five to seven years because of hormonal change. Ombré is colors that shade into each other graduated from dark to light. Generally ombré is done on brunettes. It doesn't normally show up very clear on blondes because then it would just be light to lighter. When you come to your colorist to dye your hair be prepared and have done the research. Come with pictures to show because there are many different ways ombré can be done. If your hair is all dried and done but you are not happy with the color, either its too dark or too light, don't be afraid to tell them. They should understand and try to fix it. This is what happened to me but now I am very happy with it. I know many people also try doing their own ombré. I do not recommend this because everyone I know who tried it was not 100% satisfied.  I also personally wouldn't trust myself with this. I hope if you do decided to ombré your hair, you end up loving it as much as I love mine.
