Looking HOT when it's COLD outside!

Just because it’s getting colder out doesn’t mean you need to resort to oversized “college” sweatshirts and sweatpants! Here are some easy tips on how to look fabulous while staying warm this winter. Tips on Dressing for Cold Weather

Wear layers! Many buildings try to overcompensate for cold weather outside by cranking up the heat inside. If you’re not wearing layers, you can end up sweating and being miserable. Layering is easy: begin with a tank or t-shirt (for colder days choose UnderArmour or Cuddle Duds), add a cardigan or sweater, and top it off with another jacket, scarf, and/or hat. You’ll still look cute and will be comfortable no matter where you go.

Pants are not the only option. Dresses and skirts can still be options when the weather is colder. As long as you pair them with tights (wool or sweater tights are particularly warm) you can still show your personal style without freezing. If you wear pants, keep the tights on and throw jeggings or jeans over them for additional warmth.

Make use of scarves, hats and mittens! I think scarves are a necessary part of any girl’s wardrobe. They come in a variety of colors and patterns, and instantly add flair and warmth to any outfit. Hats are another great option to keep your ears warm and are a great cover up for any bad hair day. A cute pair of mittens or gloves keep your fingers toasty and can add a touch of style.

Boots are fabulous and everywhere this season! Boots are especially important when winter bears down on us with lots of snow and ice. A great pair of boots will keep your feet warm and match with a lot of different outfits you already have. Make sure you buy fleece-lined boots for extra warmth. Whether you like heels or flats, ankle length or knee-high boots, find a pair you love and wear them with everything.

Check out stores like LLBean, Land’s End, Scheels and other places that sell clothing for outdoor people. You can look hot this winter even when it’s freezing outside.

Fashion Myths Busted! (Part 2)

To continue on with fashion myths:

#5 Do not wear white after Labor Day

*The truth is white is classy no matter what time of year. When picking out an outfit you do not go to the calendar and make sure it is ok to wear white because it is not past Labor Day. The trick to this myth is to make it seasonally appropriate. If you are considering wearing a white dress in winter for example, making sure it is long sleeved and where closed toed shoes. Just like Diane Kruger did in the middle of winter to the Boren awards.


#6 Never wear denim with denim

*Putting denim with another pair of denim is tricky because putting the wrong two together you could end up looking cheesy. When putting two denims together remember to pair two different shades of denim. A good look for this would either be wearing skinny white jeans with a light-wash belted jacket like Rihanna or simply wearing a faded collared top tucked into high-waisted jeans and some peep-toed wedges will also do the trick.



#7 Save the sequins for dark

*If you love sequins or shiny fabrics, go ahead and wear them during the day too instead of having to wait until nightfall. The sun will catch the shimmer and catch peoples eye. Remember when wearing shiny fabrics to keep it simple. For example try a sparkling mini with an oxford shirt.

#8 Avoid clashing colors

*Sometimes if a good color combination that clashes, it can make a huge statement. A good example would be Reese Witherspoon when she wore a hot pink and red with matching red sandals.

Fashion Myths Busted! (Part 1)

In the world of Fashion and Designing, one can make up anything and people usually believe it because people are always looking for way to look and feel good about themselves.  So many people listen to fashion myths they hear, no matter what it is.  Most of the myths though are not true.

#1 Never mix black with blue

    *Black and blue is said to clash because the contrast in the colors are very similar.  That maybe true, but it does not mean they always clash and you can not wear them together.  When wearing a blue tone with black, try to wear a bolder color such as sky blue.  If you are wanting to stick with the navy blue, try a white shirt under a navy blue blazer with black slacks or skirt.  Also, like any outfit there is a need to accessorize.  For example, if the outfit consists of dark denim jeggings with a black sweater and a white, semi-loose, long sleeve polo under the sweater.  To accessorize the look, add red heels and lipstick to add some bold.

#2 Horizontal stripes make you look heavy

    *People think that horizontal strips make you look heavier because they accent the waist more and the vertical stripes draw a persons eye up and down to make a person appear thinner.  It is true that the way the strips face, are the way the eyes go, but that does not mean it makes a person look heavy.  Try a long, solid colored scarf with the outfit.  If you are not still comfortable with with that, then I would suggest you try blazer or a cardigan over the stripped top.

# 3  Tall Women Shouldn't Wear High Heels

   *First problem with this myth is models wear heels most of the time and their average height is five feet nine inches.  Secondly, High heels are not just for adding height, they are also for making your legs look great and add a little strut to your walk.  High heels are becoming on anyone, besides the people who slouch or trip/ stomp with them on.  If you wear heals remember the heal to toe trick, pick up your feet, and stand up straight to look more graceful.  If you are confident about yourself and not have a problem with the height, then no one else will too.

# 4 Always Match Your Shoes With Your Belt, or Your Purse

    *Many people do not listen to this myth anymore, but some do.  Those that do, need to stop.  No one really matches their shoes with a belt or purse anymore.  My personal reason is not because I don't want to do the extra scavenger hunt in the morning, it is simply because I have too many cute shoes that don't match my belts, but my outfits.  When you go shopping, you don't want to miss out on a cute pair of shoes just because you can't find a belt to match.  Yes, accessorizes can make a statement, but don't be so strict about this rule; have a little wiggle room.  For example,  if you have a magenta-colored purse and a print dress with a tiny bit of red or pink in it, red shoes that have a touch of pink in them it would be perfect. 

Equestrian Look Has a New Twist

New style for fall is the Equestrian look.  This is one of my all time favorite looks.  The Equestrian look has been around for many years, but has not been incorporated into fashion until just recently.  The Equestrian look with the fashion twist is very clean and classy.  My favorite outfit would be a cute blouse, with the military and equestrian jacket style, a pair of dark skinnys or jeggings with knee high boots. 

Even though it is just a simple style and not much to say and mix up besides the colors and patterns, it is still a favorite.  Some place to look for this style would be American Eagle, JcPennys, Kohls, and Younkers.  A few particular designers to keep an eye out for this look would be Michael Stars, Magaschoni, and even Gucci for those super cute boots. 

Boyfit 101

Many teenagers have the boyish figure to them. When some become adults, they do not grow out of their teenage figure. To help many adults feel better about themselves and rather than just an adult trapped in a teenage shape body, some tips might help with the self-esteem.

Tops are an essential part to the outfit because most people look at your tops first compared to the rest of your outfit. High neck tops are great because they give the appearance of a fuller bust. Sleeveless tops or halter cuts are a great wear too because it shows off those great shoulders. Also wear straight-cut tops, choose longer tops that reach the hips to make it look wider to create hips Banded tops with a wide hem that end at the hips, and add extra width along the hips as well. A ruffled shirt nipped at the waist creates wider hips and a fuller bust. Avoid tops such as Sweet heart necklines because they will do nothing for you in the bust area so it’s best to avoid them along with baggy tops and tunics.

When shopping for jackets, it is basically the same rules as the tops. A tailored, curvy jacket or smallish cardigans will give you that desired feminine shape. A coat that flares from the hips down gives the illusion of wider hips. Avoid the slouchy and boy cut jackets because they don't give any curve. They would just justify your pencil shape even more.

Dresses for the boyfit shape are perfect. Luckily for you most clothing especially dresses actually hangs better on women with smaller busts! When looking for dresses, look for a dress with a lot of shape however avoid cutesy looks such as puffed sleeves as you will just end up looking little girlish. Be sure to find the right length though just like you would with any other outfit. Maxi dresses are right on trend this season and would look great on your tall slim frame. There are so many accessories that you can use to emphasize your body and gain terrific curves.

Lastly come the bottoms for the boyfit shape. With your slim hips, any kind of jeans look good on you. Low rise jeans with wide waistbands that fall on the fullest part of your hips will add a few centimeters. Detailing on the hips and bum will also help to broaden those slender hips of yours. Skinnys, leggings, and defiantly jeggings are super jeans to wear. These types enhance your hips show and off your long slim legs. Bleaching or fading effects on the thighs and bum can add contour and help create the illusion of curves. Luckily for you, with a slender frame and can get away with wearing any color of jeans teamed up with just about anything. Beware of jeans that sit on your waist they just show off the fact that there is not much of a waist there. In this case, just add a belt to add more bulk to your waist for hips.

Peal a Pear

Pear figures are one of the most unforgiving shapes. Many women just hate their bodies that have a pear shape because they have bigger hips and thighs. Do not be discouraged because some of the most beautiful stars have pear shaped bodies such as Tyra Banks, Beyonce, and Hayden Panettiere. The main goal for a pear shape body is to be balanced.

Focusing on the tops in one of the more important details because having the wrong kind of top will not be flattering. The tops that are not for giving on a pear shaped body are tops that have narrow v-necks, dolman sleeves, raglan sleeves and heavily gathered necklines. These types of tops can reduce the width of your shoulders creating an unbalance. Tops that one might want to consider are

Puffed sleeves on tops, Gathered/ruched sleeves on tops, Fluted/flared sleeves that end just below your bust, wide necklines, When looking for types of fabrics, look for ones that drape softly over your curves without clinging, but aren't too light of fabrics otherwise it will show every lump and bumb in your body. You want fabrics with at least a little weight. To make an outfit interesting and trendy, choose a bold, bright color such as red or pink on top with a dark skirt in black or navy. Shoulder pads with blazers are also a good fit because balancing the shoulders with shoulder pads help. When dealing with blazers or even jackets in general, be sure to only buy ones that end right above the waist so it does not draw attention to your hips. Do not be afraid to accessorize with your outfits either. Use a lot of belts for example. Pear shapes tend to have a smaller waist so having belts to accent the small waist looks good. Some other good accessorizes would be scarves and necklaces. Funky earrings can also make any outfit stand out and as well as many bracelets, such as chunky ones or bangles. Like most, don't overdo it otherwise you just look ridicules and too busy.

As for bottoms, the best way is to fit your booty and thighs, rather than your waist; it's a simple alteration to take in the waist band. Look for a darker color in pants and invest in a fabric that has some weight, but not thin or floppy. The best styles for bottoms would be flare or boot cut and be sure to buy them mid-rise or high rise, but not over your waist. A few other not to do's for a pear shape is don't wear loud prints or light colors on bottom, don't wear short skirts that fit tightly around your lower half, and don't wear pants that narrow at the bottom.

Footwear can make a difference for pear shapes. Heels and knee-high boots help balance out the curves of your body by creating an elongated silhouette. Comfort should always be a consideration, so unless this is comfortable for you, do not wear them everyday. Instead try wearing flats or shoes with extra detailing, especially at the toes.

For the summer time, just like the apple shaped ladies, tankinis are the way to go. Tankinis offer the coverage of a one-piece suit with the advantage of purchasing two pieces in different sizes to accommodate your body shape. Pear shapes need to look more for a bold color on top and a darker color on the bottom. This will create attention upward and away from your hips.

For those special occasions where one wants to wear a dress, try a wrap dress. It drapes over the body in a way that the lower portion is hidden, allowing the best curves to show. Avoid busy patterns for the dress. Instead go for a solid-colored dress, and let your accessories be the accent. While darker colors usually look best to de-emphasize the lower half of a pear shaped body, you can go lighter with a wrap dress because of its A-line design. Another good dress style would be halter top dresses because it nips in at the waist, and flares out into a wider skirt. A wide, flowing skirt hides the hips and thighs. Also try a sleeveless dress if you’re feeling bold and daring. This shows off the pear shaped woman’s attractive shoulders and bust. Choose a sleeveless that is form fitting at the top, with a wider, flared skirt that hides the lower body.

Apples to Apples

Like most women wish to be a different size or shape. Most feel bad about themselves because they feel heavy or look bad in their clothes.  One of the harder shapes to feel comfortable with is the apple or O figured body.  Most do not wear the most approprate clothing items to fit their body. 

When chosing bottoms, chose ones that have more flare at the bottom, such as Bootcut.  The slim fit in the thighs help show off your small legs with a flare to help balance it out.  When choosing more formal bottoms, go with a loose trouser fit.  The tight will not firgure your body as where the little more looser fit , but not baggy, will create a smoother look to your body and define your outfit a little more.  Also, go with the darker colors for jeans because then the color look more clean and sophisticated. It helps create a nice stright line from the hips to the ankles. 

When choosing tops, be very cautious on what you are choosing.  Do not go for the more busy tops, even if they are really cute!  Stay clear of tops that have ruffles, bunching, or a lot of detail.  Also, no tight or clingy shirts.  Those types of tops will draw a persons eye to where people with O shapes try to hid.  Insted choose more loose fitting fitting shirts with simple designs that flatter and just settles over your midsection curves.  Apple shapes look great in ribbed fabrics, wrap tops and v-necks for sure.   All of those tops elongate the upper part of the body, creating a slimming effect.  Also, be sure not to wear anything with shoulder pads.  Even though all the other figures are encouraged to wear shoulder pads, it is only to create a balance.  Apples who wear shoulder pads throw off the balance creating a heavier look on top.  Lucky, most clothing items with shoulder pads are removeable these days. 

As for the Summer times, the best swimwear to get a hold of is tankini.  One pieces can make your look more bulky as where tankini defines your hips.  If you are also worried because you have thicker legs, try tankini with a skirted design.  Tankini come in many cute styles and colors.  The darker colors are more slimmer looking as welll as attracting the sun more for a tan.  The only pattern to stear clear of is Horizontal strips. 

Loveing your Curves

When a girl has an hourglass figure, they think they are fat and look heavy in clothes.  That is only because they are not stick thin like the media pressures them to be and they simply do not know how to show off their lucky curves.  Most girls do not have an hourglass figure, so those who do need to be proud of it and know how to show it off.  Five pieces of advice should help you love your hourglass firgure!

First, find  yourself a good tailor.  Having that little less or more does make a big difference.  You want your clothes porpotional to your body shape.  Secondly, never wear oversizes dresses or tops.  It can make you look heavier and possibly even pregnet!  The loose clothing just settles where where ever there is room so it would lay on your shoulder and then your hips next.  Insted try a maxidress which is still loose and comfortable, but fits and accents your waist line a little more.  Third, be sure and embrace the shape wear designers offer.   Every woman from a size 0-14 should own Spanx.  It helps your body look smoother and slimmer under the tight and wrap dresses.  Stars use them as secert weapons all the time, such as Kim Kardashian and Kristen Stewart.  Fourth, be sure to accent your hips with belts.  Belts thick or thin help you show off your hips and make your waist look tinier.  It looks good and polished.  Lastly, just be confident!  Looking the part is one thing, but show off with your confidence and how you love who you are.  Being confiednt so that most sexiest thing you can do!

Heels Conquer New York!

Recently coming back from New York, one of the fashion capitals of the world, it was surprising how many heels and stilettos there were.  It should have been expected, but with all the walking one must do in New York it is questionable why someone would wear uncomfortable shoes for miles.  Like any pair of shoes there was the good and the ugly.  A few of the uglies were the kind someone might buy at a circus tent or a psycho designer.  One pair reminded me of Tinker Bell.  The heels were green with leaves that were suppose to be the straps.  Not only were the shoes green, but the shoes looked cheap paper cut outs someone placed on a pair of stilettos.  A second pair were the base of a stiletto, but the rest of the shoes looked liked maid tights sewn up at the base and ties up around at the knee.  Not classy at all, or appropriate for day time walking.  Lastly, the fashion trend that seemed to pop up often in New York was long stalkings with strappy heels.  Not pretty or attractive at all.  Two really cute ones that were pretty in a good way was a pair of heels covered in white pearls and some golden lace and classy stilettos with fabric covering the feet in a nude shade.  Not boring, but classy and would go with any ensemble. 

How do you spell the latest in clothing trends? V-a-r-s-i-t-y

Do you have your game face on? This isn't just about sports anymore, although that's exactly where the inspiration for this trend has come from. Varsity letterman jackets, which were once popular in the 1950's, are flying off the racks once again. Everyone wants a piece of the action in the styles that were once reserved for athletes. With football season upon us, varsity jackets are all the rage. Even if you weren’t a star athlete in high school, you can now look like one, thanks to the latest trend in fall outerwear. Varsity jackets are the hot new thing. I noticed these jackets in stores, then saw them popping up in magazines and internet sites. Even designers have sent their models down the runway wearing their versions of these jackets. I think that these jackets can look fantastic on the right person, like a girl wanting to rock the street style. I also love seeing them styled in unexpected ways, like with a skirt and tights, or with colored denim. These jackets can take you through the winter months by simply adding a hoodie underneath.

Cute New Coats to Check

Fall is in the air, which brings with it a chill that makes us head for our closets in search of the perfect coat. This fall there are six styles you will want to make sure are in your closet. The first is plaid. Just looking at a plaid coat will make you feel warm. Choose a short jacket to top off a pair of jeans, or a thigh-length jacket to ward off those breezy chills. Second, I would recommend a motorcycle jacket. You don't need a crotch rocket to look cool in one of these. Add boyfriend jeans and rocker booties for that amazing look! My third choice is a puffer jacket. The brighter the better, and don't forget that layering is an option. Layer two thin puffers for double the look, and double the warmth. A trench coat comes in fourth because it is always a classic piece to any wardrobe. You can choose to update the look with a funky animal pattern or keep it traditional so you always have a coat that will go with just about anything. Fifth is a faux fur coat. Adding glam to your wardrobe is necessary and this coat will do just that! Keep it simple and clean or add a belt to give it shape. Lastly, show your support for our troops with a military jacket. You can find them in stores like Macy's more fitted and tailored so they have a more feminine quality.

Checks Accepted Here

Houndstooth has been around for many years. It is a pattern that originated in Scotland and gained popularity in the 1930's as part of a men's suit collection. It has been given life again and has been spotted being worn by stars. Some stars have chosen to wear it as a simple accent, such as Ashley Greene carrying a clutch to accent her white dress. Other stars have indulged in it from head to toe.  Lady Gaga was recently photographed in an ensemble which included a bold houndstooth dress with matching hat, shoes, clutch. The outfit was completed with matching sunglasses. Others have incorporated an item into their wardrobe to create a little drama. Cameron Diaz has been spotted with a houndstooth jacket topping off a simple look of black leggings and a white shirt, and Selena Gomez wore checked shorts with a black top and mid-calf black boots. Whether you choose to add a little or a lot of this pattern to your collection this fall, at least one item containing a houndstooth pattern should be included.

Leather Pleather

Black leather pants are not just being rocked out this fall by sexy rockers. Leather is considered chic, edgy and even elegant today. With so many options available, including faux alternatives, it is no wonder that we will be seeing a lot of black covering the legs this fall. The runways are showcasing liquid leggings in this fall's line-up which will shimmer as they hold you in, nearly as well as a pair of tights would. Denim has also entered this market with a leather-like texture, slick fabric, and is breathable. To keep costs down, pleather has created faux leather pants which look like the real thing. Both Bebe and Guess by Marciano carry the faux leather pants. Pair these pants with a classic white shirt for a clean look, or layer a flirty top with a chunky cardigan and high-heeled boots for day-time. If you want that edgy feel, simply toss on a tough jacket and you'll be rockin' the night away.

Accessorize for Winter and Cold Fall Evenings!

As Autumn nights and a snowy winter are approaching, it is time to not only think about a cute and warm outfit, but also the accessorises people most often forget.  The hats, scarfs, and even gloves are going to be part of an outfit as it starts to get colder out.  Like to any theme or style of outfits or accessories there are do's and dont's.  Some winter hats just state an obvious no such as the cap with pompon and hat with ear flops.  Even though the earflops cap it popular, it still does not look good on anyone.  An iffy selection for a winter hat would be the stocking and knitted cap.  The knitted cap is only a caution because sometimes the hats end up like the ugly Christmas your family makes you wear when you go caroling.  The stocking cap is super cute, but not the longer ones look as if they don't fit a persons head.  The shorter stocking caps or beanies actually look cute and look like they fit.  The cutest look for the girl is defiantly the mink caps.  They are cute, classy, and feminine and always look good for winter and have many years dating back to the 50's.  Gloves are not too hard to be picky about.  The only pair I would steer away from are the mittens that are fingerless with cover ups on the end.  The most popular trend, that even I love and have a pair myself, are the leather gloves.  Most popular color are Carmel and black which are perfect and classy unlike the bold red and bright fuchsia.  Lastly are the scarfs are not too bad because there are only a few.  My suggestion would be knit one because it is classy and popular this year. 

Bold Red!

Colors extend as far as the rainbow. Colors can stay or go with fashion and seasons. One big color that seems to be popping out is red. Red is defiantly a bright and vibrant color. Some would even think of red as hot and bold. Even the most famous people are trying to bring into the fashion. A few starts that actually know how to make it work are Rihanna, Cameron Diaz, and Anne Hathaway. Red has been some kind of fashion icon for years, but the one problem with the color red is clashing. If you mix red with the wrong color or have too much of it, your whole outfit or look is completely ruined. One way to make it stand out with also being subtle is wearing black and white with maybe a red scarf, necklace, or even shoes. If someone wants to go all out red, the best would be just wear one big thing of red such as a dress or a blouse. Do not wear red lipstick with a red dress and red stilettos. That is when you will get someone’s attention, but not anywhere close to a good attention getter. According to Glamour magazine, "The little black dress is not the only popular little dress anymore." Red is bold and daring. If you are looking to stand out in a crowd, red would defiantly be your best bet; just do not over do it!

Stripes .vs Plaid

Stripes and plaids are the two biggest patterns that will be coming up for this fall.   Thicker stripes are more fashionable than thinner stripes.  Depending on the person wearing them, thin stripes can ruin an outfit, compared to thick stripes.  There tends to be a greater variety of options regarding skirts, pants, etc. that go with thicker stripes, than thinner stripes.  Most colors work well with stripes.
Plaid in general is not a flattering design.  Unless you are wearing a kilt in Scotland, plaid just comes across generally as frumpy, and not very fashionable.  My Grandpa wears plaid, and he is definitely not a fashion conscious person!   Plaid has been around for years, but is predominantly looked upon as being old fashioned and not very chic.   For guys, plaid sport coats were popular in the '70s, and when you see a commercial or an ad with a guy wearing a plaid sport coat, you have to laugh, because it looks so ridiculous.    Tartan is also another version of plaid.  Generally, these are skirts are referred to as tartan, and while some may be somewhat classy, generally, they are not very pretty.
If you can avoid wearing plaid this fall, please do.

Crop Tops

Crop tops are one fashion trend that should have never been discovered.  Crop tops have been around for decades, and were really popular in the 80s, thanks to a lot of teen movies in those days.  Crop tops in the movies have generally been very revealing, and so they tend to come across as trashy or more of a tramp look.
The type of Crop Top will have a lot to do with how a person is perceived.  If its too revealing, they'll be looked on as trashy.  If its too tight in the wrong places, they will be looked upon as not very fashion conscious.  Many crop tops today have the east-west should look, which is off both shoulders.  Some that have a scoop neckline, tend to look better, but really need to be worn with a tank top or slim shirt underneath.  Crop tops have to be worn a certain way.  If they are too tight, then they can be very revealing, and sometimes in an unflattering way.  Depending on a persons size and physical stature, Crop Tops may not be the right shirt to wear.  Looser fitting Crop Tops, with tank tops underneath, are a better and more casual look.
Someone with a slimmer mid section can make a Crop Top look better, but again, depending on the look a person wants, they need to be careful how that Crop Top is worn.

Off the shoulder shirts

One trend that seems to be picking up steam in the fashion world is the off the shoulder shirt.  These types of shirts have been around for a long time, but they are making a big come back.  A few of the more popular types are the ones that are slightly off both shoulders, the type that is tight off one shoulder that drapes like a sash, and the other is the off the shoulder looser fitting shirt that comes around the back around the shoulder blade  The latter style is more for a casual look, when someone is out shopping or meeting friends for lunch.  The first type (off both shoulders) tends to be more formal, and is perfect for attending evening or late night events, as well as for fancy dinners.  The middle type, with the sash look, is best for a casual evening, such as going to a movie or a concert.
My personal favorite is the off both shoulder look.  It is classy with just enough of a look to make people take notice as you pass them by.  Adding a short skirt, or a pair of dress slacks, completes the look.  This look is nottoo revealing, but yet has enough appeal to make a man notice.
The off the shoulder look that goes around the back shoulder blade, goes great with a pair of yoga pants and flats.  The best look is a long shirt that goes to the hips.  This is a trendy look especially around college campuses.  Its very casual, but yet very fashionable as well.
The off the shoulder look that appears to look like a sash works well with a pair of jeans, or shorts.  Its tighter around the shoulders than the other two looks, but is not very revealing.
