Fashion 101: Black On White, White On Black

I am obsessed with the updated look of black and white outfits! It is so much more than just black pants and white shirt, there's stripes, polka dots, blazers, and more that make it so much more interesting! The black and white trend creates a lot of visual interest because of the contrast between white and black. Below are some of my favorite black and white looks rocked by Beyonce, Nicole Richie, and Emma Watson!

How do you rock black and white?

People's Choice Award 2013 Fashion Faves

I have to be honest, I did not watch the People's Choice Award 2013, but I did watch the fashions on the red carpet. I saw an array of gowns, mini dresses, and of course the suit jacket with jeans on the male celebrities. Although there were so many beautiful looks being seen, what stuck out to me were the bright dresses and geometric patterns that I instantly fell in love with.. It may be winter, but it's still perfectly fine to break out your bright colors and bring the shine to everyone's day.

Lea Michele

Lea's dress is the perfect amount of pink and gives the ultimate girly vibe without being too sweet. The shape fits her body creating a tiny waist and curves while the sparkle pattern adds to defining a curvier shape to her body as well. The sparkles add a sexiness while not being too provocative since her actual body parts are not exposed. Lea has got the sweet and sexy look down! 

Emma Watson

Emma Watson has always been a style favorite of mine, especially because of her quirky yet fashionable look. Her People's Choice Award 2013 dress is a great length and with the cut outs it shows the perfect amount of skin. The colors and geometric patterns of her dress give off a great visual appeal and an arrtistic vibe. Emma's shoes also add major length to her legs because of the straps giving her an A+ in my books.

Chloe Moretz

Chloe Moretz has a styke that I absolutely love because I would gladly wear anything from her closet. Her dress makes me long for summertime even more than I already do as well as a bright yellow a-line dress. The flower pattern is quirky while girly but it stays teen appropriate with the sheer addition that takes the dress to a whole new level.

What are your People's Choice Award 2013 fashion faves?

6 Ways To Make Outerwear Look Good

Emma Watson

Emma Stone

Fall and winter weather call for sweaters, jackets, layers, and overall bulkiness which can make you feel like a complete frump. Now there is no  way you can go out without at least a jacket, but you can make your outerwear and sweater more fitted. Try out these tips to make sure you look good while staying warm and cozy in your outerwear.

1. Fitted Jackets! Fitted jackets work like blazers, they help to keep with and define our frame. Fitted jackets are perfect for the fall because they are not too heavy, but will still keep you warm.
2. Stand Out Color! Outerwear in dark colors can get old, try it in a vibrant grey, bright whites, or even be bold and go for reds or purples. The colors take away from all the extra layers and make your look shine.
3. Try It On! You're always supposed to try clothing on before making the purchase, but you especially need to follow this rule with sweaters and jackets. A too big sweater will look super baggy on you and not fit under your jacket and a too small jacket will not go over your outfit.
4. Thin Sweaters! A thin sweater may seem like a contradiction of the whole point of a sweater, but it actually works better. A thin sweater is easy to layer with, it can go underneath leather and fur vests, jackets, and more.
5. Belt it! The best thing you can ever do is define your waist which can be done with wide or medium belt. The belt will showcase the tiniest part of your body and even give you an hourglass shape effect.
6. Bows, Studs, and Details! Accessories will always lighten up our outfit and make it come to life instead of a dud. Adding clip on bows to neckline, studs to color, using print/pattern, anything to add detail to your overall look will make your sweaters and outwear more fun.

Get The Look: Sleek and Chic Emma Watson

Emma Watson is sleek and chic in this drop dead gorgeous look. The back cut-ou and sparkle in her dress maintain her youth while still staying fashionable. Emma's make-up simple yet bold, all you need to recreate it is rosy blush, red lipstick, silver eyeshadow, and a few other basic make-up materials.

1. Begin with a clean face and  use concealer for any needed ares. Put on foundation and set it with powder for a matte look.
2. Prime your eyes with primer. Take the silver shadow and brush only along your lower lid. A shimmery flesh tone shadow should be use as highlight along the brow bone.
3. Lightly line your upper eyelid with black eyeliner and coat your lashes with mascara.
4. Define your brows by using either an eyebrow kit or a dark shadow and filling in them in with light strokes. Brush your brows afterwards.
5. Take the rosy blush  and apply on the apples of your cheeks up to your temples. Make sure to blend!
6. Prime your lips and line them with a light red lip liner. Apply a red lipstick such as the Lancome lipstick Emma Watson uses.
7. If you go outside the lines with lipstick, fix it by applying concealer over it.

Try out this look for a night out or when you have a need to be sleek and chic. Remember practice and patience makes perfect for getting the look just right. Modify any steps if needed.

Hair 101: Emma Watson

Look #1

Look #2

Emma Watson rocks short hair and looks absolutely beautiful. I am a huge fan of short hair, it allows all features of the face stand out and makes room to take risks everywhere else. Emma's haircut reminds me of Mia Farrow's pixie cut in the movie Rosemary's Baby. Some girls may be deathly afraid to make the big chop, but short hair is actually very versatile. Emma's hair can be worn in the style it is cut in or she can easily slick it back for a more sleek look. She can even dress up her hair with clips, headbands, or any types of hair decos. And the best thing is that hair is always growing and there are such things as hair extensions in case you really do not like it. Switch it up and try out short hair ladies!
