Tuesday: Trend: Bright Bold Spring!

Hey there, enjoying the lovely weather and sunny days, Fashionista’s? I know I am because o love getting dressed for fabulous weather days. From dresses, shorts, skirts, Capri’s, jeans, tees, tanks, button-ups, khaki, spring jackets, sandals, scarves, swim suits and sunglasses and all of the other spring and summer must-haves I have absolutely no doubt in saying warm weather is my favorite kind.

What’s better to start off a warm and sunny day than with a bright printed or plaid top with jeans, Capri’s, shorts (depending on the length you prefer). Or try pairing a tank with a bright button-up and your choice of JCS. Add a cute pair of sandals, scarf and bag to complete the look. Of if girlie is more your style, pair a plaid or print dress with leggings/tights, heals/wedges, and a crop jacket.

Remember when wearing bright colors don’t forget the sunglasses, Fashionista’s!

Monday: Accessory: Bold Nails!

Hello Fashionista’s! The start of anew week brings more people to impress with your A+ fashion skills, Fashionista’s. Lately, I’ve been obsessed with bold nail colors. Coral, blue, teal, bright green, yellow, orange, lilac and so many other colors are out there to choose from. How do we choose just one? Simple answer, we don’t have to! Mixing nail colors can be a fabulous twist on nail trends, an amazing accessory and a great conversation-starter. Teal and yellow for a summer-beach-y look or lilac and pale green for a peaceful-boho vibe. Right now I’m into a bold, stormy blue with a sparkly top coat.

Get creative with your nails, Fashionista’s!

Wednesday: Fashion News: Zac Posen at Target!

Here's a preview >>>> http://nymag.com/daily/fashion/2010/03/preview_zac_posens_target_line.html

Hey Fashionista’s! We all love designer’s styles and looks, but not many of us can afford them. So what has Target been doing lately? Getting designer lines in for less! Now we can be able to live like true Fashionista’s in designer style! The newest designer to design a line for Target is Zac Posen. Check out some of the Jean Paul Gaultier collection below. Instead of spending $600 for a dress, find one for $40!


Designers are going cheap-chic, Fashionista’s!

Tuesday: Trend: Zip-Leg Jeans?!

Hey there, Fashionista’s! I found this from Seventeen and I had to share it. OMG; is this really what fashion is coming to? I don’t know about you, but this isn’t fashion, this is tacky and kind of trashy! Who would wear a pair of these jeans out? Especially the zipper ones (on left) and lace-up the entire leg (on right). The middle ones are somewhat okay, but still not a trend that I or anyone else for that matter should support. I do admit that I wear some crazy and creative clothes sometimes, but I do it tastefully and appropriately. If this is a new trend, I definitely nominate it for the worst dress and worst trend lists of the decade! Who agrees?

Wow, what is fashion coming to, Fashionista’s!

Monday: Accessory: Step It Up!

Hey there, Fashionista’s! Do you need a way to freshen up your look for spring and summer without buying a whole new wardrobe? Well guess what you can! Something I’ve been seeing a lot of lately in magazines and on TV is shoe accessories. Now you may be asking, “What is that?” At first I didn’t really understand them much either. I mean if you want to change the look of your shoes, buy a new pair. But with these shoe accessories you can re-create designer-inspired shoes for less. For example take a chic pair of black heals you have in your closet and with a little magic from Dekkori get a pair of pull-on boot accessories for $156 to turn your old heels into boots. Now, I think $156 is a little pricey for my budget, and many others. I mean my shoes didn’t even cost half of that. If I was going to spend $156, I actually want a new pair of shoes!!

Thursday: Highlights: KCAs!

Hey there, you might not have known this, but this past weekend the Kid’s Choice Awards graced Nickelodeon with their presence for a fun night of awards and slime. I think the KCAs are actually getting routine and boring, lately. I know that it is an awards show for kids, but most of the shows, actors and movies are the ones that I watch and like; so that’s why I like watching. I mean technically I watch mostly all of the awards shows, just because I like to see what everyone wears, but I haven’t heard of most of the nominees. Like the Oscars’ for example I never heard of any of the top movies of the year. My favorite movie in 2009 was Hannah Montana: The Movie because Miley Cyrus is a great actress, singer, designer, writer, etc. My advice for the KCAs next year would be to mix it up a little with something new and exciting and maybe even have a separate awards show for the Disney channel!

Some of the winners were:
Movie Actress: Miley Cyrus :)
Movie Actor: Taylor Lautner (?)
TV Actress: Selena Gomez :)
TV Actor: Dylan Spouse
TV Show: I-Carly :)
Movie: Alvin and the Chipmunks: The Squeakual


KCAs are not just for kids anymore, Fashionista’s!

Wednesday: Fashion News: The Near Future, Brings Back the Past!

Hey Fashionista’s! Spring just arrived, it’s not yet summer, but fall looks are starting to grace us with their presence. I for one don’t like this time of year because I wish we could stay in spring/summer mode all year long, but I guess we have to switch seasons. But maybe if we can make summer longer and shorten fall/winter, we could have the best of both worlds! Breaking news, this just in from Women’s Wear Daily, this fall designers are using a architectural eye to tailor their looks with sharp lines, bold construction, strong shoulders and hard angles. So this means that fall runway looks will be sharp, polished and ensure confidence. While we are all having fun in the sun with colors this summer, we can be motivated to look forward to a polished fall with new beginnings and bright futures!


Look forward to a confident and polished fall, Fashionista’s!
