Long Summer Dresses

Hey Ya'll!

We are still in the casual phase of fashion trends. This is a great thing because of this heat wave going on. I'm taking it hard. Loose, lightweight, long dresses are perfect for the hot evenings. They are comfortable and flowy. Some of them are a little 'bohemianesque,' but still cute. I really like Beyonce's casual summer fashions. Peace Out!

More Denim Trends

¡Hola!

The fashion stylists are always trying to find something new to do with denim. Embellishments, rips, or different washes. Make 'em skinny or wide. Wide pockets, cropped, shorts, cuffed, jackets, everything! The newest denim trend is ripped denim. I don't really know what to call it, but the hem is unfinished or released on denim pieces like mini skirts, shorts, and jackets. It won't last forever because we are in a very casual clothing phase. As soon al the trends go back to classic and elegant, we'll probably look down on this trend in disgust.




















Product of the Week:

I know that this is so random, but I am a beauty product junkie (I'm also a food junkie, but we'll discuss that much later). I'm starting a new section that will talk about my favorite products once a week.

The beauty product of the week that I'm loving right now is Johnson's Softcream: Extra Care Body Cream. I have never used anything like it. On Johnson's site it claims: 'Within one week of continued use, it can help skin retain significantly more moisture to actually improve the condition of your skin.' We've all heard this before with other creams and lotions, but it is absolutely true. It lasts 24 hours and comes in a hand cream too. Wonderful!

Plaid: Modernized Grunge?

Happy Birthday Mom!

Hey Everyone!

For some reason, I've always associated plaid with bad fashion. Many years ago, I remember plaid being used in big flannel shirts tied around the waist and looking terrible. Which was part of the 1990's Grunge style. For awhile now, I've seen a lot of cute plaid fashions. My favorite for summer is Madras. It's light weight cotton in bright colors woven into plaid design. Plaid is supposed to be one of the hottest trends for Fall. I'm happy about that and I won't be ashamed to wear plaid this season!

The Empire Waist Is Still Here

Hey!

The empire waist is still here! I think and hope that it will stay for many more seasons to come. I don't care what anyone says, it is so flattering for my body shape, which is in between hour glass and pear. (If that makes any sense). It's so comfortable to wear too. Doesn't Ashanti look comfy? I can eat a big meal and don't have to hold in my stomach, and it's still flattering. It can also be a few trends in one. The empire waist and bold prints, tiers, or stripes. Peace.

Forehead headband

¡Hola!

We're slowly moving away from the 1980's (thank goodness) and we're going back to the 1950's and 1960's. But, some 80's trends are still to come like oversized clothes and men's pieces cut to fit women. I'm a little worried about 60's fashions because the designers aren't going for classic or elegant 60's fashion, they are going with the hippie look. I don't think the forehead headband is a good look, but it's here and I hope it's not a lasting trend. I understand that it's a dressed down look, but it's not flattering to the face or hair. Oh, well. Tell me what you think.

Hey Everybody!

I've never bought anything with animal print and I've never had an interest in it before. Until now. The safari trend was popular this past spring, but now I guess the safari trip is over and now they're bringing home souvenirs. Animal prints are a huge trend for the summer and they will be for fall too. (Especially leopard print). I've seen the cutest bags, dresses, shoes, and belts. The fashion marketers are really doing their job because they have convinced me to add some african animal to my wardrobe.

Throw Them All Together

¿Comó Están?

A huge spring trend was bold prints. Florals, stripes, and polka dots are very popular and trendy styles. So guess what it's time to do now? Mix them! Asymetrical shapes mixed with stripes! That sounds so cool! (sarcastic) The 'garden in fashion' look is a good one when it comes to mixing prints, but everything else would like a mess. To keep it very safe, I would choose to mix different floral prints. If you know how this look can be pulled off, send your pics here!

Heart Accents

Hey Ya'll!

It's been a long time, but I'm getting settled in a new city. My husband starts law school in a few weeks and we're excited. So anyways, I've been peepin' out some trends and I'm finding a lot of heart jewelry around. I would put this in a subcategory under Charm Jewelry because they can be small enough to be a trinket. The heart charm bracelet above is from Hilary Duff's 'Stuff' line. It's a line of miscellaneous items like clocks, watches, and jewelry boxes.

The heart accent trend looks simple and goes with everything. Show off that heart necklace with your hair pulled back into the trendy wispy bun. Check out cosmogirl.com on how to achieve this style.

Floppy Hats

¡Hola!

A big trend this season was floppy hats at the beach. Some of you know I'm not a hat wearing type of person, but they're sort of cute and it's safe. These big hats protect your face and hair from UV rays and gives your sunscreen some extra help. Floppy beach hats are casual and fit any type of swimsuit. See ya'll soon!

Peter Pan Collar

Hey Everyone!

Sometimes certain fashion trends of the season confuse me. The Peter Pan Collar is a strange thing to me. It reminds me of school uniforms and little girls' clothes, which are not usually fashionable. According to 'The American Heritage Dictionary,' the definition of a Peter Pan collar is: A small, close-fitting, usually flat collar with rounded ends meeting in front. That just sounds weird. Anyways, there's an extremely wrong way to wear this trend and a very correct stylish way to wear the Peter Pan Collar. The black dress above is a wrong way and I'm unsure about the pink blouse.


This Nanette Lepore jacket is cute though, and I like the shape and placement of the pockets. They sort of match the collar. Well, that's all I got to say for today. I'm out.
