Prom Inspiration: Daring Dakota Fanning

Nothing is better than a daring, bold girl! Dakota Fanning shows that you can show skin while maintaining an element of class. A little hint of skin will give off a sexy look for prom, however it can be downplayed with simpler hair and make, like Dakota's. 

Not all prom dresses have to be strapless! Sleeved dress are definitely unique and more practical f your prom is in the colder months. If you go with a sleeved dress, you don't have to pile on lots of accessories and can leave your beauty look simpler to let your dress do more of the talking. 

I will admit that I do not usually like poofy dresses, however, if they're like Dakota's, I just might. Dakota goes for a plunging neckline and dark sparkles with this dress. It is the definition of dark glam. This look can be accessorized with bracelets, necklaces, anything since there is so much bare skin. The beauty look can even be all out to match the daring dress. 

How do you share your daring side?

Trend Alert: Sneaker Wedges

Sneaker wedges are the latest trend in shoe wear and perfectly for the girl who loves heels or wants height while still being casual and comfty. Sneaker weddges come in so many styles and heights, you can go from basic black to a wild cheetah print to match your style or outfit. Don't forget you can even change the shoe laces to go with anything!

Alessandra Ambrosio

Alessandra Ambrosio shows how you can wear the sneaker wedges with a super casual outfit and still look chic and comfortable. The sneaker wedges she is wearing are a sleek black which means they can be worn with casual, chic, sleek, and edgy looks very easily. For the girls who just like the easiness of the shoe, a good bit of sneaker wedges come with just a Velcro strap which means they are very easy to get on and off.

Beyonce
 

Beyonce is sporting a very similar, if not the same exact pair of sneaker wedges as Alessandra Ambrosio. However, Beyonce shows the edgier side of the show even though she is still looking casual with the addition of her oversized coat. Besides the cute, chic fashion aspects of the show, Beyonce must think the shoes are pretty comfortable for the day. She's carrying around a baby and that gets heavy! As of right now I am all over the sneaker wedge, they are cute, chic, comfortable, and trendy!



Dakota Fanning

Dakota Fanning brings out the more young side of the shoe which is great for teens and young adults like myself. I love that she choose a softer more neutral color, especially since most people go for the darker colors. Like Beyonce, Dakota paired the sneaker wedges with leather pants although Dakota has made the look completely different and ultra chic. The bag and shoes definitely make her outfit.

How are you feeling about the sneaker wedge?

How To Style: Combat Boots

 I recently picked up a pair of studded combat boots that be rolled down or pulled all the way up. I know exactly what I want to wear them with, but I still like to go through and see what different bloggers and celebrities paired them with as well. I found a lot of great looks from people such as Kendal and Kylie Jenner, Miley Cyrus, Rihanna, Dakota Fanning, and more! Here are my top picks on how to style combat boots.

Miley Cyrus

Miley Cyrus has been wearing combat boots since she was a young teen! Miley is known for having a rebel edge in all of her outfits and combat boots do just that. She keeps from being too cute and girly with her floral body-con dress by styling it with a pair of loose combat boots. Try doing the same with any super feminine dress or skirt to make it more casual or add edge. An extra perk is that it shows off your gorgeous legs!

Dakota Fanning

Dakota Fanning is showing the chic side of combat boots since she pairs them with printed jeans, a white tee, and a black blazer. This is perfect for a day when you want to look put together, but still want to show your style. You can pair your combat boots with any colored or printed jeans  and tie it in with your top and accessories for a whole new look.

Miley Cyrus

Don't think that combat boots only look good on some people, because they can easily be a casual shoe. Just throw on some jeans and tee like Miley and be ready for a day on the go while still looking cool and stylish! Combat boots are a great shoe for all seasons since they can be worn with shorts, dresses, and jeans. Most combat boots even have the option of being worn all the way up or rolled down, you can even add studs and spikes! It works for any style and fits into every wardrobe.

Confidence Booster #10

Everyone has a time when they are feeling down on themselves or just not very confident. The best way to fix the problem is by making a list or telling yourself all the positive, good, and exciting things about yourself. Wether it's that you have breathtaking eyes, are the captain of the basketball team, or passed your driving test, it doesn't matter unless the fact is happy and good. Talking to yourself or thinking about positive things in your life is not concieted or arrogant, unless it is a constant situation, it helps to remind you how great you really are. Sometimes it takes the things we already know about ourselves, but tend to not think about that really make us happy and confidence.

Here's a list of positive things about myself:  

1. I have 215 followeers on my blog who always give great feedback and comments.
2. My skin is beginning to get clearer and my hair is almost the length I would like.
3. I am finally developing my own personal style that I love.
4. I am the president of my class.
5. I  feel genuinely confident about myself.

Fashion 101: Dakota and Elle Fanning

Dakota and Elle Fanning for W Magazine

Dakota and Elle Fanning are two sisters taking the fashion world by storm. I love them both, they have great style, are great actresses, and they are very confident. I am in love with the above picture of the sister duo, they look so elegant and are very photogenic. The accessories in the photograph are amazing and gives off so much class. Their flower earrings are to die for as well as Elle's pearl ring. The neck wear is very beautiful, but nothing can take away from their beauty look. I have always admired how they never cake on heavy amounts of make-up and keep it very classic and simple. Dakota's make-up consist of a little dark eyeshadow on the lower lid, liner and mascara, and some gloss on the lips. Elle appears to have a gorgeous smokey eye and a defined brow. I had to share this photo with everyone, I love it!
