Back to School: Kickin' Into Fall

Back to School: Kickin' Into Fall by lyndseycamille featuring high heel shoes

Whenever back to school season comes back around, I love to get a pair of new shoes. However, I make sure not to purchase anymore summer shoes: sandals, flip flops, etc. Instead, I like to get a cute pair of shoes that will work for a lot of walking, match a majority of my outfits, and make me feel like I'm walking a catwalk. Below are descriptions of my favorite back to school shoe styles and why they work!

1. Slip-ons! Slip-ons are a simple version of sneakers that mimic flats with a whole lot of comfort. Slip-ons come in a variety of prints and colors that will go with any outfit and fit into any style. 
2. Oxfords! Oxfords are my favorite shoe style! Oxfords now have a feminine take on menswear, especially because of the new prints, lace additions, and other features now being added to them. Also, your feet will thank you for the comfort.
3. Booties! Booties are the perfect transition shoe as it gets closer to fall. Booties can work with shorts, dresses, and, of course, future fall and winter outfits. 
4. Wedges! Heels are fabulous, but don't always work for a school day. However, wedges, especially with rubber on the bottom, can work for a school. Wedges give height and add ultimate chicness to any look without taking away too much comfort.

Fashion 101: Spring Footwear

Spring Footwear by lyndseycamille featuring g by guess shoes

Springtime is all about the shoe! However, it can get pretty repetitive if you only wear the same pair of strappy sandals everyday. So, swap your sandals for printed flats and wedges, colorful heels, and cutout booties. Printed flats are perfect for pairing with a casual outfit because they can pull the look together and keep up with comfort. Wedges will make any girls legs appear lean and long, so they look perfect paired with dresses, skirts, and jeans. Colorful heels are great to pair with a more dressed up, formal look because they add a great pop of color. Cutout booties help to keep in mind that spring can still have its chilly days and we need something to keep our feet warm.

Fashion 101: Take Home the Booties!

Booties are the cutest cold weather! They can even be worn throughout spring depending upon the fabric they're made of. Buckles, laces, and cutouts add so much character and style to an entire look! Plus, you can add colorful and printed socks for extra warmth and chicness. I love seeing booties style with rolled up jeans, tights and skirts, and of course with nice pair of socks. Whether you booties are flats, a high heel, or a lot of bedazzle, booties are definitely a great addition to anyone's shoe collection.

Trend 101: Out with the Platform?

Trend 101: Out with the Platform? by lyndseycamille featuring red heel shoes

Have platforms been deemed out? Heels have finally made their way back closer to the ground! The shoes above allude so much class and of course major chicness. Heels without the platform are not as kick-punch and allow the outfit more room to stand out. However, don't think a shoe can't still make an impact without a platform because they still totally can. 

Will you still be rocking platforms? 

My Spring 2013 Wants

Spring Wishlist by lyndseycamille featuring pull & bear

Spring is one of my favorite seasons because of the bright colors, florals, and of course the warm weather. This spring patterns such as houndstooth and floral are going to be top trends as well flatforms, dainty accessories, bright lips, and so much more. However, on my own spring want list is just a couple things which include flatforms, cutout shoes, rings, a pretty spring dress, and to find a new everyday make-up look.

• Flatforms! Flatforms are cute twist on wedge shoes and still add some height to your leg because of the consistent heel. However, I need flatforms with a bit of a curve so I will actually be able to walk in them since I have a deep arch in my feet.
• Cutout Shoes! Cutouts look so good on dresses and tops, so why not try them out on shoes? I actually have gotten a pair of flat oxfords with cutout on the side that I cannot wait to wear when the weather warms up.
• Rings! After a while rings start to rust and look cheap and dirty which is not a cute look to me. I really would like to invest in a couple of dainty as well as statement rings to add to my jewelry collection and keep my hands looking sparkly.
• Pretty Spring Dress! I just love the look of a flirty neon dress for spring paired with a pair of flats and curly. You have to admit that a girly a-line dress is the epitome of spring. 
• New Make-Up Look! My biggest want is actually a new everyday natural make-up look which I can only achieve through experimenting. I am so tired of mascara and winged liner and feel that since I am young I should try something new every once in a while.

What are your Spring wants? Any ideas for a new everyday make-up look?

Birthday/Christmas 2012 Haul

 I am so extremely grateful for everything I have received throughout all of 2012 from every view and comment on my blog to each gift I have been given. Of course we all know Christmas was just two days ago, but since my birthday was not too far behind on November 17 so I've decided to do a collective haul. Below I have pictured some of the items I received so be sure to let me know what you have given or received over the holiday season as well!



I am so excited to wear my new pairs of pajamas! If you ever come to my house for a sleep over you would probably find me only wearing tank tops and cheer shorts, but now I can let out my love for print even in my beauty sleep. Also, the bottoms are super warm and cozy which is great for the winter while the thinner tank top allows my body to still feel cool at night.

 I have really been needing some sweaters since the weather is continuing to get colder and colder. The sweater to left is very sparkly and glam, while the center sweater is perfect for a preppy look, and the sweater to the right having a fun and casual feel. The pants are actually a metallic rose blush color in a skinny jean style that will definitely make you feel like a glam diva.

I also received three pairs of Nine West shoes from Santa. *Hint, hint Nine West was/is having a nice sale!* The pairs of flat are the same style, but different color schemes made up of compacted sequins. They will work great for a casual or dressed up look, the bonus is that they are very comfortable to walk in. I normally do not like Uggs at all, but this metallic rose blush color complete with a wedge heel was to amazing not to like! I am totally in love with this new style of Uggs and cannot wait to rock them!

 Now I have Christmas gifts from all of my family members which include accessories, candles, and a gift card. The gift card can be used at any store to purchase whatever my hear desires while the owl candles will be used as a cute display in my room. The key necklace is perfect since it is small and delicate, but still makes a statement. The earrings are a nice brass color which will match with anything and the headbands are great since I am trying out new hairstyles that won't go in my face.

 If you really know me, you would definitely notice I am always carrying around some type of style book whether it's from Seventeen or Teen Vogue. That's why with my birthday money I purchased the Lauren Conrad Style book which I reccommend for any girl even if you're not really into the wo;d of fashion, it's that good! The Celebrity Style Guide by Teen People is a really great refrence for learning how to dress forr your body and find out your style.

 My best friend gave me my favorite scent, sweet pea, in a lotion/body glitter form as well as a little picture frame which I will be putting a great friendship picture inside. The gift even goes with one of our BFF insiders! The cute container filled of japanese cherry blossom is actually from a secret santa gift and I am so excited to try out this scent.

Lastly I now have nice lighting in my room thanks to a new floor lamp and a cute little owl perched between the bulbs. Not only is the light good for seeing, but it will be amazing when I am filming on my new Nikon! My new camera is the best and will definitely help to take my blog to another level as well as allow me to show more original, candid photos.

I am so thankful, grateful, and excited about each of my gifts! Let me know in the comments below the gifts you have received and what all your grateful for.

What Im Loving: Early Fall

I am currently loving early fall, the weather is breezy, cool, and peaceful. The weather calls for light jackets and sweaters, booties, and even cute pairs of printed tights. Lately I have been seeing so many leather skirts in magazines and they are amazing! Leather skirts add a great amount of edge while still having a soft feel because of their variety of cuts and shapes. Letterman jackets are preppy and fun, I finally got one for myself. Lettermans are lightweight so if it's just a little windy you can throw it on and not burn up. Booties are too cute to me because they allow you to show off your outfit and not be overpowered by long zippers and tall. Booties work with skirts, dresses, jeans, just about everything. The purse adds flair because of the cool print and is small enough to not way you down, but still has enough room for all your must haves. Lastly the two tops are both graphic and slouchy which adds a unqiue image to your look as well as comfort.

Fashion 101: Loafers and Pointed Toe Flats

Loafers and pointed toe flats are taking the world of comfortable yet cute shoes by storm. Loafers and pointed toe flats are replacing the ballet flat and can be worn with any outfit, style, and occasion!

Alexa Chung

Lala Anthony

Alexa Chung and Lala Anthony are both rocking loafers. Alexa is all dressed up in a floral skirt and casual sweater and the loafers help to keep the look chic and classy while still being casual. Lala gets super chic and edgy by pairing a crisp white blazer with studded rocker loafers. As you can see loafers come in so many styles with the same amount comfort that anybody will love them.





Miranda Kerr

Jessica Alba

Miranda Kerr and Jessica Alba are both wearing pointed toe loafers that make their outfits super chic. Pointed toe loafers are an easy way out of wearing pointed toe heels and great for making an outfit chic. Miranda Kerr looks so gorgeous and casual in a slouchy sweater, floral capris, and of course a nude pointed toe flat which adds class to the look. Jessica Alba makes her look edgy chic with pointed toe flats with gold stud accents. Just like loafers pointed toe flats are comfortable, casual, and add on to your outfit's fashion power.
