Fashion 101: Winter Leg Wear

This winter season it is all about what's on thhe bottom of your outfit. Of course printed pants aare still in, but metallic pants, leather pants, darker colors, and shimmer shorts are taking over. These pants looks call for simple statement tops look peplums and graphic tees. You can even play down on your shoes by wearing basic flats, tennis wedges and boots. Metallic pants scream glam and are perfect for everyday and casual holiday parties. Leather pants are a darker, edgier version of metallic pants and give off a biker chick vibe while still being chic and slenderizing. The shimmer shorts are definitely cold weather appropriate, all you need are some amazing printed tights are stockings with colo prints or designs that make your legs look fun and unique while still feeling super warm!

Hair 101: 3 Looks 1 Week

I love a hairstyle that can be transformed all throughout the week! Sarah Hyland's soft bun, beachy waves, and messy ponytail all work together for a week full of switching up your hair look without a lot of difficulty. The bun helps to keep your hair out of your face while creating waves in your hair that will work for the next day and be put up into a ponytail later on. Keep on reading to learn how to recreate each hair look.

 This bun is so soft, pretty, and easy to create. It works for any occasion, all you need is a brush, a ponytail holder, and bobby pins. Brush your hair up into a loose ponytail at any position on your head and secure it with a ponytail holder. You can use the sock bun method or simply wrap your hair around the ponytail holder and secure with bobby pins.

After a day, or night, of rocking the bun your hair will be full of crinkles and waves. All you need is a wide tooth comb to untangle the hair and a curling iron to define some of the waves and curls. The look should stay simple and causal for a more simple and everyday look so you won't look overdone, but chic. it can definitely be however messy or put together aas you would like.



After wearing my hair down for a while I cannot wait to pull it right back up out of my face. The waves will start to fall and become messy after a while if you don't maintain them which definitely will not look good worn down, but looks flirty and fun when pulled into a high ponytail. You can even try out a causal updo since your hair has the ability to hold more.

DIY Nails: Simply Fall, Simply Plaid

It's not winter just yet so I am still rocking fall themed nails. I've noticed the popular nail polish trend of nudes, browns, and other dark shades so I had to try out for this week's mani. However, I can never stick to simple nail polish so I decided to try out a very simple plaid design accented with cheetah print on my ring finger nail. All I used to create this nail look is Schnapps Out Of It by O.P.I., a brown nail polish, a black nail striper, red nail polish, and a nail art brush.

1. Begin with clean nails and coat them with a clear base coat.
2. Add 1-2 coats of Schnapps Out Of It by O.P.I, or any other bright brown color to your nails.
3. Take your second brown nail polish and stripe one line vertically or horizontally across each nail. Skip your ring finger if you want the accent nail!
4. Take your black nail striper and create one vertical line next to the brown stripe as well as one stripe horizontally across the nail.
5. Dip your nail brush into some red nail polish and add a red stripe horizontally or vertically across each nail.
6. Create a cheetah print design on your ring finger by making jagged C-shapes with your black nail striper brush.
7. Let your nails dry, then add a clear top coat on top of your nails.

This look is totally appropriate for the season! Plus you can switch up the stripe and color patterns to make the nail look all your own. Let me know in the comments below if you try out the nail look!

Fashion 101: The Military Jacket

 

The military jacket is becoming a hit fashion trend and makes any look instantly more casual and chic. The military jacket is such a cool style and I love how you can easily place it over any outfit   and you can even accessorize it! The military jacket works into all types of wardrobes even if you're usually a girly girl, chic and trendy, edgy, or a complete boho chick. Keep on reading to see how celebs like Kate Bosworth, Cheryl Cole, and Alexa Chung style the military jacket.


Kate Bosworth

Kate Bosworth uses a military jacket to toughen up an extremely lace-y an girly look with the use of the jacket. Its loose fit and neutral green color allows you to wear the jacket with just about anything and feel comfty and causal at the same time.

Cheryl Cole

If you're not into the loose fit of the jacket, you still have the ability to belt it! A wider sized belt will cinch in your waist and balance out with the entire amount of jacket you have on. You may even have the success of finding a military jacket with a built in drawstring at the waist.



Alexa Chung

 

For the girls who like to make each piece in their wardrobe their own, you can definitely embellish and DIY your military jacket with a variety of fabrics, buttons, and glitter galore!

Fashion 101: The Baggy Pants Look

Skinny jeans have become such a staple in every one's wardrobe, so it's seems like time to try out something new to cover up your bottom half. Sweatpants and baggy pants have been seen on so many celebs lately as well as everyday girls. I am one to only wear more form fitting outfits, but this trend is something I may have to try out. I love how they look so comfy and casual, while still giving off an amazing urban, street style feel. Keep on reading to see how to work them into your wardrobe.

Rihanna knows you have to stay within a color scheme to make it look like a put together look and not like you just threw on sweatpants. Make the baggy pant look styled, but not over done by staying within the same color groups and not going too glam with your upper half. Try a casual look up top such as a fitted hoodie, a rocker tee, or even a cool jacket.

Don't forget about your proportions! You definitely do not want to look like a sack potato in a baggy pants look so try to keep with a fitted top or jacket. You can even try sticking with a loose top in your baggy pants stick more toward your legs than outward.

 

Will you be trying the baggy pants look?

Get The Look: Daytime Edge

Katy Perry

So many people are afraid of adding edge to their beauty looks for the day because they think it may be "too much", but trust me, it won't! All you need is the perfect balance of an everyday hairstyle, the righth amount of liner/mascara, and the right lip color. I especially love Katy Perry's edgy beauty look is a great day to night look because you can easily add on and take off to perfect the look for the occassion. All you need to recreate this look is a brush, a ponytail holder, and bobby pins for the hair and a bold or nude lipstick, mascara, liner, and darker toned eye shadows.

1. Begin by brushing all your hair up into a high ponytail secured by a ponytail holder.
2. Create any type of bun you would like. A topknot can be made by wrapping your hair tightly in circles and securing with bobby pins or a big ballerina bun by using the sock bun method.
3. Now start with a clean face and apply any foundation and concealer if needed.
4. Add a primer to your lids and a apply a highlight color right on your brow bone. Then apply a dark grey smokey color to your lower lids up into the crease. Be sure to blend!
5. Apply black liner to your lashline and smudge lightly with an eyeliner brush or your fingers. Apply liner to your tightline and smudge a bit of the eyeshadow onto the bottom for a more nighttime look.
6. Add a little drama to your brows by filling them in with a bit of eyeshadow. Brush your eyebrows afterwards so it won't be too harsh.
7. Apply a primer to your lips and apply a nude color to keep the look daytime and swap the nude out for a bold color such as red for a night look.

Do not ever be afraid to try out an edgy beauty look for the day, yes it will stand out, but it will definitely be in a good week! Try making the look more you by adding or taking away any of the steps. Let me know in the comments below if you try out the look!

OOTD: Blue Striped Bows

The fall and winter season always seems to make peoples wardrobes 50 shades darker, but not mine. I love adding color, graphics, and patterns to my look all year round no matter the season! For this outfit I decided to you all three of my favorite things, as you can see I used the color in my jeans and the patterns and graphic in my shirt. The blue pants work fot the season because they aren't extremely bright which gives a more understated look. The top also helps to tone down the top and give persoanlity, uniqueness to the look, and overall more fun! The black combat boots are just my go to pair of shoes, they always make me feel edgy and are comfty for my feet. I didn't add too many accesssories because I didn't want anything taking away from my clothes and I kept my hair in a high messy bun.
