Get The Look For Less

 

one | two | three | four | five | six | seven | eight 

Hey everyone. So I don't know about you, but after this fashion week I am feeling more inspired than ever with my own personal style. The only problem is I have the taste of a bagillionaire and the budget of a broke college student. 

So here is a "Get The Look For Less" post. Basically, it's an outfit I love but I also put the more affordable (and realistic) for my budget.

Enjoy.

Banana & Milly

 

One. | Two. | Three. | Four. | Five. | Six. | Seven. | Eight. | Nine. | Ten. | Eleven.

So, I've always been a fan of Milly and Banana Republic and they have done a collaboration together.

This collection is inspired by summertime in the Hamptons. I love it. My personal favorite is the navy and white elephant shorts, and the maxi dress.

How do you feel about the Milly Banana Republic collaboration?

My Evolving Style

Hey everyone, 

So everyone's style is constantly changing and evolving, just as their lives are are doing so. 

I was always interested in fashion and loved changing up my style. Now I feel like I'm finally in a style that I will stay with for awhile. Not sure what to really call it, but who really needs a name for it? This just shows how since I was eight to nine years old until now my style progressed. 

It's not even just clothes, you can see it in hair and accessories.

Enjoy your Memorial Weekend everyone!

Old Stripes

Shirt: American Eagle | Jeans: Old Navy |  Wedges: Old Navy | Necklace: Juicy Couture | 

Watch: Unknown | Glasses: Unknown | Hat: Unknown

So these pictures were taken actually quite a while ago while I was out with my family for a night of shopping and dinner at Peddlers Village. So because it was so long ago, I am not positive about all the places or brands some of the things I am wearing are... hence the unknown. Haha so forgive me.

Spring 2013 Trends

Here are just a few trends for spring 2013. 
I know it might seem a bit early to go over this, but trust me, spring will be here before you know it. All of these were found on Polyvore for under $50.

First: Is the mixture of strips, and having them big and bold. Don't be afraid to mix two different patterned stripes together in the same outfit.

Second: Is the peekaboo elements in any piece of clothing. I have seen this element showing a little pop of skin on shirts, dresses, skirts, and pants.

Third: Beading. It's a gorgeous element to a anything simple. Very eye catching and fun.

Fourth: Kitten heels and flats are becoming sexier than ever. Lately the shorter the heel, the more class is can add and it's more comfortable.

New Year, New Start.

 

I made a few New Years Resolutions for 2013.

My first Resolution is to get back to blogging! I have missed it so much. For this time getting back into blogging I have a bunch of new ideas I want to start. So here we go, a fresh new start.

Second, is more personal, but I am going to try and start to try and stop worrying about the things I can not control as much as I used to. 

Here's to a more worry free, and fashionable 2013!

Spring Must Haves

These are just a couple of my favorite things that I will be shortly starting to look for, in my spring wardrobe.  Check out my polyvore for more of the detailed information on what I have shown above and to check out any other of my posts on their.

-Stripes are defiantly a must. Think nautical. I think every spring this is a style always repeated but always looked forward to by everyone. I just love wearing stripes with blue shorts and flats, something very simplistic and Americana about it.

-Knee Length Skirts are getting big. Now they don't have to be exactly knee length in my opinion. I think ones that come a little above the knee or a little below are perfect! And so easy to pair with a simple shirt. Also if you get a nice big flowing skirt it will keep you cool.

-Crochet has become very big. It's on everything now! Shorts, shirts, heels, flats, bags, jewelry. I say run with this trend. I don't think it's going to be something big and trendy for very long but for now, why not use it? And I bet in a few years time the crochet style will be back again.

-Kitten Heels, are sooo much more comfortable to wear than regular heels! I'm actually really happy that these are back in style. I love getting that little extra boost in height without having to kill my feet! They still look sexy and classic. My professor quoted Karl Lagerfeld  a couple weeks ago about kitten heels being the next big thing in shoes.

-Now obviously you will always need your rain boots and umbrella for the spring. Come on it's always raining.

-Patterns and the mixing of patterns. Don't be afraid to wear patterns on your shorts like the ones I have shown above and then wearing a small pin stripe blouse with it. The type to keep in mind when using two different patterns it make sure the colors are around the same and the print sizes aren't the same. (I will be doing a post on how to mix patterns shortly, keep posted.)
