Colorblocking is a very attention demanding style. It must be worn proud, as this is a definite loud trend. I played with a few colors below to create a few cute colorblocking outfits. A great plus in having a fashion blog is that even when it’s too cold outside to wear cute dresses, I can still create and share them with you!

My favorite outfit has to be the one with the royal blue dress. The style is very vintage and I’m a huge fan of that. Which is your favorite out of the three below?!

Then you have come to the right place! This list includes dresses adequate for a wedding in any season. Styles vary from short, long, halter, strapless and an array of colors. Feel free to let me know which you like best, or what style you prefer wearing to weddings in the comments below.

1. Purple is the color of royalty. This dress is a nice choice if you prefer going short. A classy single-shoulder flutter top and ruched look make it truly fashionable.

2. Shimmer in this satin blue dress with a matching bolero included. This dress is appropriate for a woman looking to feel classy yet fashionable. The tier design and v-neck style make it far from simple, and the bolero is great for outdoor weddings.

3. Pretty in silk. This peachy-pink dress has a romantic touch with the shoulder ruffle and A-line design. The cinched waist and v-neck add to it’s great design. In my opinion, just lovely!

More Ann Taylor…

4. Keep it classy in black. Can’t ever go wrong with a nice black dress. This chiffon, off-the-shoulder dress looks sensual, yet keeps a classic look with the form-fitting design and sweetheart neckline.

5. Another long one. This burgundy one-shoulder dress flatters your body with a ruched design across the waist and hips. Perfect color for a winter wedding, or a goth one.

6. Cute cut in an array of colors. This strapless dress is comfortable and flattering on most shapes due to the sweetheart neckline and A-line cut. Another great thing about this little dress… It’s price! $69.99 @ Target.

7. Simple style with a splash of color. A nice option for a fall wedding. The pleated strapless design give it a nice look, and the empire cut make it a flattering option for most bodies.

More Lauren Ralph Lauren…

9. Teal elegance. The pretty color in itself make this a great dress for a wedding. Perfect for a spring or summer dress. The cut and length make it a flattering fit for all bodies, and the crystal and sequin embellishment give it a hint of elegance. Perfectly paired with silver heels.

10. Another LBD option. As mentioned earlier, if you are completely clueless on what to wear opt for a little black dress. The v-front design on this one make it a cute look, with a form-fitting cut. Another plus when it comes to wearing a LBD… You can add color with heels or accessories!

What’s your favorite style to wear at a wedding?!

Check out a few pieces below which are embellished in glitz, and great for making a fashion statement. Sequined fashion looks very glam due to the fact that you’ll sparkle and definitely be seen when wearing. I don’t wear this trend too often, but would love to own any of the pieces below!

Is this a trend you love, or just can’t stand?!

Putting together outfits doesn’t have to be a long and tedious routine. Especially when you fill your wardrobe with pieces that can be used to create more than one outfit. For instance, you have a black pencil skirt. You can easily make three different outfits by accessorizing correctly. Keep it bussiness-like by wearing it with black  pumps, sheer nylons, a white button-up shirt, and a blazer. Add some color with a bright shirt, metallic accessories, and your favorite wedges. Or keep it simple and feminine by wearing a black top and emphasize your curves with a pretty belt around your waist. The same skirt is dressed up in different styles! This trick works best when you use a neutral piece and dress it up differently with each wear.

Here are 10 pieces which you must have in your wardrobe to make the best of your outfits!

1. neutral trousers- trousers are appropriate attire for most jobs, and work well when you’d rather not wear a dress/skirt to an event. They can easily be dressed up with a nice blouse and jewelry, or dressed down with a polo and flats.

2. white button down shirt- can’t go wrong with a crisp white button-up shirt. Perfect for work, looks great with jeans. Toss on a blazer and some accesories and you got yourself a pretty stylish outfit.

3. neutral blazer- a blazer is a great option to dress up an outfit. Can be worn with slacks, skirts, dresses and even jeans to add a chic look. Can’t go wrong with a classic black blazer, or try a khaki or olive green one!

4. black or dark grey skirt-  a pencil skirt is a great piece to creating versatile looks. As mentioned earlier you can take a skirt and play with colors or accessories to create many different looks.

5. LBD- A classic staple, which must be in your wardrobe! You can’t ever go wrong with wearing a little black dress to a formal or casual event. Can be dressed up with glamourous jewelry and heels, or dressed down with a comfy cardigan and flats.

6. darkwash jeans- they don’t just look great on most body types, they also make your thighs appear slimmer :0 Darkwash jeans look great with tees and a hoody, and can be dressed up for a more formal occasion with heels/boots and a nice top.

7. black peacoat/trench- Every woman needs an elegant coat! It won’t just keep you warm in cold seasons, it will also never go out of style if you look for classic cuts and shop for a every-body flattering color like black.

8. black heels- everyone needs a great pair of black heels in their closet. Heels are versatile as they can work with jeans, skirts, shorts, dresses… If you are a shoe addict add color to an outfit with brights, but be sure to own at least one pair of black to wear for pretty much any occassion. Another plus, you can’t tell if they get a little dirty. Be sure to try on your heels prior to buying them, to ensure they are the right and a comfortable fit!

9.cute pair of flats- heels are great , especially with their added benefits of lenghtening and lifting! But once in a while give your feet a break and try a cute pair of flats. They work well with slacks, jeans, skirts and dresses. Buy a pair that fits your style, whether you like classic neutrals or want to add some color with bright flats.

flats

10. camel  cardigan- a cardi comes in handy when weather is unexpected. They are also great for summer, because they are usually in a light fabric.  Very versatile when chosen in neutral shades. Try a nice camel colored one to avoid wearing as much black, but still having many outfit options.

• Ruched trech coat- a baby pink trench with ruched style on the sides is a nice option if you have been looking for a pink coat. Looks like a very fitted coat with princess seams to flatter your shape.

Which is your favorite coat?! Do you like bright colors or stick to neutrals?

You want to ensure you are purchasing a piece you can add to your wardrobe, that will be worth your cash and last you longer than a year. Though there’s nothing wrong with buying a cheaper coat, you will definitely notice the quality once the texture feels different or the stitching comes undone within a few months. You can afford quality coats at a fraction of their worth if you keep your eye on sales. Especially around warmer seasons, when nobody is looking to purchase a heavy trench or peacoat. But how much is too much?

Here are 5 insanely pricey coats. Which could pretty much buy you a whole new wardrobe or be a very generous downpayment on a new car. Not to mention what they are made of…

1. Dappled jaguar mink officer coat – look at that little cute mink below. Would you really want to kill dozens of those little fellas just to wear them? Seriously, this coat is priced at $21995.00 and i don’t see in any way how it could look flattering on any woman out there. (Not even Cruella Deville) Reasons why i hate this coat #1 it looks like a hot mess, no shape, and you pretty much look like a cow. #2 That much money could go into much much more. #3 The starting material looks much more cuter than the final project. Save the minks, drop that coat.

2. Zebra print ponyskin trench coat- animal print is in, but this is a little too much. Zebra print out of ponyskin?… If i had $7200.00 to drop on a coat, i’d much rather opt for buying the pony rather than wearing it on my back. Yuck

3. Azzedine Alaia double-breasted coat- this little coat is priced at $16529.00 and made of sheep skin. Sure most clothes use a sheep’s wool, which grows back on the animal. But sheepskin…

4. Altuzzara maple coat- this piece of coyote fur is valued at $21375.00. As i previously mentioned, killing animals to wear a coat is definitely not something i admire… Thoughts anyone?

5. Missoni pale rose python maxi coat- a little over the top wouldn’t you say? Especially when you stop to think you’re wearing a python…

If you like fur opt for faux and let animals keep theirs!

It was an hour long event of Vic’s Secret Angels including: Miranda Kerr, Adriana Lima and Candice Swanepoel strutting their stuff on the catwalk and flaunting the new line of bras and panties. As always the line exudes sexy, fun and flirty. The angels walked down the catwalk with musical appearances by Kanye West, Jay-Z, Maroon 5, and Nicki Minaj who donned a neon-bright outfit which perfectly matched the PINK line!

image credit

Miranda Kerr modeled a 2.5 million dollar bra! Can you believe that?! 2.5 million on such a small piece of fabric. The Fantasy bra was encrusted with white and yellow diamonds and thousands of stones. The show had a few themes including superheroes (which perfectly matched Kanye’s performance of “Stronger”), aquatic angels, passion, I put a spell on you, and ballet. The show closed with Nicky Minaj’s performance and the angels showing off the PINK line.

This show brought you behind the scenes as the models were beautified with makeup, and dressed for each change required. It also welcomed a new angel and showed her casting as well as overly-joyed thoughts on becoming an angel and walking the catwalk. Said to be “the sexiest night” on television, this years Victoria’s Secret fashion show definitely showcased some sexy pieces and accessories.

Betsey is a popular fashionista due to her eccentric styles and love for funky prints. The first Betsey Johnson purse i boutght was by far my favorite of her line. It was a fuschia shade hobo with black lace print embroidered throughout the silky texture. I  loved  that purse so much, i had to retire it after a short year since i wore it out. Betsey’s fashion screams fun, just by looking at her purses you can see her personality through her work. I mean she does do a cartwheel at the end of each of her fashion shows!

Colors, fun prints, skulls and roses…

Just to name a few of the traits she adds to her purses. Check out a few favotites below…

Barbie is now available with tattoos, and many parents are very unhappy about this. The Tokidoki Barbie doll includes leopard print leggings, pink hair, her little cactus-buddy Bastardino, glitter heels and chest and arm tattoos. Though it specifically says for adult collectors, most agree Barbie is and has always been targeted to young girls. Check out the tattooed chick who’s causing controversies below…

image credit 

People are responding with this new addition to the Barbie family as a bad image to portray to young girls, and very irresponsible on Mattel’s part. So she is a bit edgy for a Barbie, but honestly speaking when has Barbie ever been a great role model for kids??? She’s a little plastic doll with an unrealistic body image, which that in itself might give girls the wrong idea. But add some tattoos and eyebrows are raised. In my opinion the tattoos shouldn’t be the issue, perhaps the heels and skin-tight leggings, and most definitely the extra slimmer look. Check out a video below on what Mattel has to say on tatted Barbie and various reactions. A great quote from the video = “If you don’t like it, don’t buy it!”

Rather than being worried about a toy portraying a bad image to kids, parents should be more worried about being there for their kids so they can have an influence on their  lives. Because Barbie most definitely should not be gifted to a kid as some sort of role model…

As the image above shows, a woman considered to be a “plus size” model pretty much needs to have her whole body and face redone to attain a Barbie-like physique. Her freakishly skinny neck and face are definitely not proportioned to the rest of her body, and people are freaking out over a couple pieces of art on her arms…

So what do you think… Is tattooed Barbie such a horrible influence on kids, or should people just deal with the fact some little girls actually have mommies with pink hair and tats?!
