Trend Alert: Fashionable Sweats

Sweats are making a super chic,and comfy, statement. The "new" sweatpants come in a more fitted form as well as in many different colors, patterns, and prints. These sweatpants can fit into any style or look, girly, edgy, and more! You also don't have to stick with only pairing sweats with sneakers because heels and boots will work too! Plus, you can offset the look by sporting a fancier top to dress up the look. Above are some of my favorite new ways to rock fashionable sweats worn by Forever 21 models.

Trend Alert: Love of the Crop Top

Crop tops have made their way back from the 90's and are going to be a hit in the summer time! At first I felt that crop tops were just a little too revealing, but now I've learned the many different ways of styling the crop top to make it look perfect for you. Below are some of my favorite crop top looks and why they caught my eye.

Jessica Alba

Jessica Alba is always a fashion fave because of her subtle chicness. I love the sleek sophistication to this look and the peep of skin helps to make this look more interesting instead an ordinary all black ensemble.

Vanessa Hudgens

Vanessa Hudgens has the boho look down pat which means crop tops are a necessity in her closet. What I love about her crop top look is the pretty feminine feel it gives along with the lace. Since it's a crop top you don't have to worry about the lace becoming too "old lady" or childish which is absolutely perfect.

Miley Cyrus

Summertime is all about fun patterns and bright colors which is why I'm really digging Miley's fitted crop top. It really shows off her figure and can be worn for a casual day out with anything from high waisted shorts, a skirt, to skinny jeans. You can also pair a fitted and patterned crop with so many looks from edgy to girly with the right accessories which makes it very versatile.

Selena Gomez

Lastly, Selena Gomez is on my list because I absolutely love this fun. girly look. A bustier crop top can instantly become racy if not paired correctly, but with this high waisted, a line skirt all you can get is girliness. Plus Selena's simple waves and Barbie pink heels keep the look very appropriate.

Trend Alert: The Collar Necklace

Yesterday I did see shopping around the mall and one thing that seemed to stick out on the accessory side and it's collar necklaces! The "collar" is really in right now as you can see on different celebrities, models, and everyday people, but after a while your closet may suffer from the excess amount of collared tops. As a benefit for both you and your closet, it makes so much sense to invest in collar necklaces! The collar necklaces I came across are adjustable for your neck size and length you need the necklace and work for just about any style from girly to edgy. They also came in so many different varieties such as peter pan style and pointed with each decked out in gems, sequins, or a cool print. The necklaces ranged from about $10-$15 which in my opinion is reasonable since you can pair it with about any crew neck top to give the appearance of a real collar, or you can wear it as a regular necklace. Although I did not purchase a collar necklace, (I'd rather have all the bling in on my ears and fingers) I would highly recommend this for anyone who is into the collar shirt look.

Trend Alert: Dark Reds and Oxblood

Deep reds and the latest color trend, oxblood, are this fall and winter. Deep reds and oxblood add a dark and dramatic pop of color to your look, but the colors can also be used as a neutral in your wardrobe. The colors represent the new color scheme of the season and allow you to step outside of the black, brown, and grey color rotation. Keep on reading to find out how to incorporate the colors in your everyday look.

Prince William and Kate Middleton

Kate Middleton always gets it right when it comes to style! Kate is wearing an oxblood colored 2 piece. The color works for sophisticated and classy looks, plus it still looks nice when paired with black tights to keep your legs warm.

Irina Shayk

These oxblood colored leather pants are so chic and super slimming. Since the pants are in a leather style it already screams edge and the color helps to give it extra style cred compared to regular black leather pants. Also, I absolutely love that the color works perfectly with simple colors such as black and grey so that you don't have to think too much about what top to pair the pants with.

Fergie

I am usually totally against wearing an outfit all in one color, but Fergie looks amazing in this all red look. The dark red leather pants fit her perfectly and her grey studded booties make a great contrast colors while adding height. The shirt works because of its change in texture and the help of the patterned throw over. All together this look is an A+ in my books. 

Trend Alert: Working With Leather

Leather has always been in, but it is steadily being incorporated into everyone's wardrobe. Leather is great for keeping you warm while still adding edge and texture to your look. I love wearing my leather pants especially since they go with so many different pieces in my wardrobe. Another plus is that just like jeans, leather pants come in multiple colors such as a red pair that I'll be featuring in an OOTD post very soon. Below I showcased Fergie, Miranda Cosgrove, and Jessica Alba all wearing leather within their outfits and styles. Keep on reading to learn how to add leather into your look. 

Fergie

Fergie goes the all black route by pairing slouchy skinny leather pants with a casual black top and and fierce heels. The leather pants are very understated, but still give the look edge and amp it up much more than a pair of everyday blue jeans would. Fergie's bag is what really stands out, the wrap-around chains are hot!

Miranda Cosgrove

No one understands how much of an amazing celebrity Miranda Cosgrove is nor her amazing style. Miranda is always sporting such a chic edgy age appropriate look which is why I really love her leather skirt. A leather skirt can easily become too sexy, but the pleating and length of Miranda's leather skirt makes it just right and still shows off some leg. Miranda paired the look with a comfortable loose tank and black booties which keep the look young and chic. 

Jessica Alba

Jessica Alba definitely knows how to shake up a classic girly look by adding a dash of leather. Jessica's look went from super classy to amazingly powerful with her leather jacket and top handle bag. Leather jackets are not just for bikers, but also for adding edge and a presence of being big and bad. I don't know if it's just me, but whenever I throw on my leather I feel as though no one can tell me anything, expect my mother of course!

Fall 2012 Beauty Trends

This year's fall beauty trends are so gorgeous, it's all about nudes, browns, deep reds, emerald greens, and regal purples. The colors scream dark princess in my opinion and work for every skin tone. Nail polish is definitely huge this year, every celebrity and fashion brand is beginning to make their own nail line which means everyone's nails are going to painted. A matte black nail color is a great alternative to the everyday shiny black and a nice emerald green, dark red, navy blue, or regal purple are fall ready too. A nude brown is also a trendy nail color that makes your nails appear longer and when it chips, no one can really tell. Not only is a nude brown a trendy nail color, but also a lipstick or gloss. Dark lips in violets and reds are so popular for nighttime looks in fall, while a nude lipstick or nude gloss is great for daytime wear. Don't forget about the hair, Lauren Conrad has switched up her Cali girl blonde hair to brunette which looks amazing and totally embodies fall.

Trend Alert: Plaid, Leather, and Collared



Miranda Cosgrove



Miranda Cosgrove

Miranda Cosgrove looks so cool in this trendy plaid, leather, and collared dress.I love that the entire look is pulled all together in one look complete with flirty peep toe heels and a blue smokey eye look. Plaid, leather, and especially collars are some of this year's top trends that can be worn in so many ways. Leather can be seen as leggings, pants, shorts, skirts, and even dresses. Plaid is a print that can mixed in with other prints and patterns depending on the primary colors and how busy the overall plaid print is. Collars are definitely big this fall, they look so amazing with embellishments like  studs and spikes. Miranda is totally fall ready, all she needs is a cute cardigan when it gets chilly.

Trend Alert: Rock the Turban

Everytime I look around I see people wearing turbans in beautiuful patterns and colors and in various shapes and styles. Turbans originated in places like the Middle East and Africa as customary headware and now they are being worn as chic fashion head gear. Celebs like Kourtnay Kardashian, Solange Knowles, and June Ambrose are just a few to be seen working the turban into everyday street style, vacay wear, and even special events.

Kourtney Kardashian

Kourtney Kardashian keeps it simple by wraping a bright blue turban, that matches her outfit perfectly, around her head. A turban in a solid color that does a full wrap around the head is probably the most simple version of a turban that still makes a statement. Not only does her turban work as a fashion statement, but since she's out near the Miami waters it helps to protect her hair from frizz and an overall bad hair day. 

Solange Knowles

Solange adds a little more length to her turban so that it wraps up with her hair as well as add a little twist for flair. The black and white pattern of her turban adds to her outfit by giving more of a visual and pop to the look. Don't forget if your wearing a turban you can do more with your beauty look since all your hair is pulled back like Solange's soft smokey eyes. 

June Ambrose

Now if your a daring fashionista like June Ambrose you can go the extra mile with your turban look. June kept it basic black, but creates a "turban bun" which takes the place of big earrings and a statement necklace. Youtube has hundreds of turban tying tutorials if you want to style yours like June's or any other style.

Will you be rocking the turban this fall?

Beauty 101: Deep and Dark Lips

Deep and dark colored lips are all the rage for fall. The deep lip shades are perfect for the girl who isn't afraid to take beauty risks and wants to go all out for fall. Deep lip shades go with any skin tone depending upon the lipstick's under tones and darkness. Dark berries, reds, and mocha are fabulous and make your lips appear fuller, luxurious and add to your overall make-up look. Check out some gorgeous celebs rocking these lip colors below:

Jennifer Lopez

Rihanna

Camilla Belle

Trend Alert: Stripes in Action

Stripes are always in and represent so many styles. Stripes an be worn in tops, pants, shoes, acessories, and more! The versatility of the pattern gives you so much range on how to reinvent and style new looks!

Jessie J

Jessie J looks slim and bold with this huge stripe patterned skinny jeans. This look can go great with a punch of bright color and super cute shoes. Striped pants can be found at just about any store which mean anyone can recreate or create a new look. Don't forget about other striped bottoms like skirts and shorts!

Taylor Swift

Taylor Swift keeps up with the classic, original verison of medium sized stripes. Although she is staying classic, she does make a statement with the bright red against the white 

Miley Cyrus

Miley Cyrus gives stripes a cool modern look just by the type of clothing shes wearing her stripes with. The crop and the thiness of the stripes may not seem like much, but they actually make a difference among the world of bold, big stripes.



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?

Trend Alert: Spikes and Studs





Spikes and studs are EVERYWERE! They are so edgy, yet so glam and gives off the coolest look in an outfit. Spikes and studs can work on girly styles too which will help add edge and toughness. The best part about studs and spikes is that you can either buy items that already have the details, or you can DIY them own. Sutds and spikes look best when they are on accessories in your outfit such as shoes, bracelets, bags, and even a vest or jacket, maybe even a hat! Although I did not post the piture of spiked shoes I have been eyeing, I will reveal them on Must Have Friday.

Are you into the spikes and studs trend?
