There's nothing wrong with being a "Maxx-inista"
Every girl knows that horrible feeling - it’s comparably worse than any form of clinical depression, SADD or any anxiety in the books. It’s that sweeping feeling when you tear through your overflowing closet and think, “I have nothing to wear!” At any point in the season every girl is prone to popping out of their avalanche of clothes and exclaiming that they have no...

Ugly Sweater "Swag"?
The best time to wear a striped sweater, is all the time….
Courtesy PacSun
Well, the SpongeBob reference above is most definitely accurate for this winter! Ugly Christmas Sweaters have been the misfits of holiday style for a while, unless you’re over forty and are rocking the Mom jeans along with it. Even over the past few years they have fizzled out with this demographic. However...

Who's that Pocahontas girl?
Mocassins have been around for years on end, but recently in the past few years they have been popping up everywhere. In the past two years, many variations of this typical “mocassin” shoe have been in every store from Target to Neiman Marcus. However this shoe has been interpreted as more of a slipper than a fashion statement. Nevertheless from summer 2011 to now (fall/winter 2011)...

J. Crew reaching new ground: From Russia with...
The school year has sprung upon us like a chick hatchng out of its shell, and there are many sights and smells with it. The sight of your old friends and new teachers; the smell of your new shoes and jeans and cracking open a new J.Crew catalog is ten times for rewarding then cracking open your AP Chemistry book. (that’s just my opinion.) Like the cliche’s in 90s shows where kids...

Summer night out OOTD!
The summertime is nearing an end like a withering sunset on a misty august night, but there is still time for one big hurrah! As the cold drinks and warm smiles may have a terminal feel, the style and fashion does not cease with the season. What’s next is yet another season! That’s nothing new though, fall 2010 lines have been out for months. I got my J.Crew one in the mail today!

DIY is easier and Now more popular than ever!
Dip-deyed, studded, bedazzled, beaded, cut. All of these adjectives are very commonly used for in-style teens this summer. Have you ever seen an item of clothing and thought to yourself, “Wow I really want that, but I don’t see that at any stores!” Don’t worry, you’re not alone. If it looks so edgy and cool that the stylish person wearing the shirt made it, there...

Hair we Are!
Other than the dozens of bangles, pearls, ear cuffs, earrings, necklaces, bracelets, leg warmers or a plethora of more accessories a girl could ask for, our hair is definitely our favorite. Besides the actual clothes we put on our body our hair is the most flexible and versatile element of our daily outfit. Can you twist and braid your platform shoes to your heart’s desire? No.
As you...

Sperry Spree?

Smart, stylish, and versatile. Not only am I describing my friend Andrew up there, but I am describing the shoes he is wearing. Why is he so smart and stylish? He’s wearing Sperry’s Top-Siders! These types of shoes have recently become immensely popular for the spring and summer time. They lightly elegant and...
4th of July OOTD!
Everyone has that one special day a year, their birthday! Today is a huge birthday for our whole country, because it is in fact our country’s birthday: better known as the 4th of July. What are you guys doing to celebrate this thirsty monday? I’m off to a party and fireworks and a sleepover on my friends lake. Yet just like everything, we must party it up in style! Obviously, the...

Feeling thrifty?
Do these clothes above look fairly new? If so, don’t let the eye decieve you. The shorts are 80’s Levi’s, the crop top is estimated from 2002 or 2003, and my best guess guess is the Charlotte Russe shoes are from probably 2004 or 2005. From this information you can probably assume where I found all of these, a thrift store! Stores as such and community donation centers are the...
Mix or Match?
Mix n Match may sound like a corner candy store filled with sweets and treats but it also can apply to sweet fashion. As you probably have noticed, everything this season is laden with patterns. Whole tops, lining on clothes, bags, cute dresses, belts on khaki high wasited shorts, and especially bathing suits are print-happy. The most popular print this season is obviously floral. Floral prints...

Watch Hey all! After my multiple min shopping sprees here and there at the outlets and such, I thought I’d make a haul. When most people hear that word they think of makeup gurus on youtube such as juicystar and fafinettex3, but nope, it’s just little old me. All of the clothes purchased are from either Beyond Vintage (sold at Panache), Delias, American Eagle, or Forever 21. Crop tops, floral shorts...
Two in one OOTD!
Hey everyone… it’s been too long. I’d say i’ve been really busy, but though it’s true i’d sound like a broken record. Through this crazy life i’m still trying to find time for this. Of course i haven’t stopped thinking style, reading magazines and shopping. Here are a few pecies and outfits I have come across and love recently.
First of all, my...
Etsy, Etsy hear all about it!
Have you ever had this problem? You go into a store looking for something or have something specific in mind, but you can’t find it? This leads to an agonizing mall trip rummaging through every rack of every store to find the perfect piece of clothing in the perfect size, fit and price? To eliminate the stress, many turn to online shopping. I love online shopping, it’s like window...

Fashion Gives Back
With many natural distasters occuring the world recently, ie: Japan, Haiti, and more, everyone has been attempting to give back. The Council of Fashion Designers of America including Diane Von Furstenburg and more held an auction for their initiative for Fashion and Friends for Japan Charity. The auction was held online and all proceeds were forwarded to Japan Society’s Japan Earthquake...
Why is it that some things never get old?
A little black dress, a good reality TV show fight, and of course your favorite denim jacket. Some things just never get old, like a denim jacket or vest. “Since deninm was invented, it has been an icon,” Corey Urbina, Lookville.com. Like all aspects of fashion, they have their stages of being in and out. About a year ago, denim rompers were really popular, and now distressed,...
Do you want that for here or to go?
My apologies for not writing in so long, softball and musical rehearsals are eating my life, but that’s all excuses, there should always be time for fashion. It’s a part of our everyday life, it’s who we are. Where would we be without it? Not only is fashion a aprt of you but it can help you. For example, where do you keep the essentials such as your coach wallet and victorias...

For Diamonds and Gold
From stealing the nation’s heart at a young age in National Velvet, to walking down the red carpet in velvet, Elizabeth Taylor has always been fabulous. It is said that she could be the most fabulous star ever. However, it is no surprise of this, everyone loved her, including her good friend Micheal Jackson.
Not only was she a fabulous and influential star, she had a timeless...

As I was watching Jessie J perform this week on the weekly comedy spectacle Satuday Night Live, after being introduced by her hilarious costar Zach Galafanakis, the first thing I noticed was her outfit. It was a what I beleive a jumpsuit with leather on the top, net or opaque grey around the abdomen and high waisted pants that had a design with light and dark green. her platform heels were...
Outfits On Display.
Have you mastered the art of “hint-dropping” yet? Accoring to my mother, I have. I was in the car and meekly mentioned “It would be nice to have a mannequin in my room, you know to try out outfits and such on.” The same day I come back in from shoveling to my overexcited mother looking like she has something to tell me. The thing was that she ordered me five...
Panache
Sorry I haven’t written in a while guys! Last weekend I went away for a couple days, and I came back with two new awesome peices for spring.
They were in a store called Panache, which has basically everything from Juicy to Free People. I was literally in awe when I walked in - beautiful designs for the decor and even more beautiful on the shelves. I couldn’t help it with the amount...

70s style - not so retro?
We can all identenity these leading ladies of the 70’s as Charlie’s Angles, including Jaclyn Smith, Farrah Fawcett, Kate Jackson. Most of you may know the remake, including Lucy, Liu, Cameron Diaz, and Drew Barrymore. All of these ladies have amazing style, I could wrie a whole blog on just thier style.
Why would I do that, when there is going to be a whole spring season just based...

Ah, spring.
It’s the time of year when your boots are full of slush and the sky is full of snow. Our eyes may be looking at the blizzard ahead but in our minds we are imagining the warm spring even more ahead of us. I know I am. Lately I have been anxiously thinking about spring and all the good it brings us, even though it’s only January…
So have our designers! The new spring trends have...

Does glamour really kill?
Do you listen to the bands All Time Low, Mayday Parade, Hey Monday, or more? Even if you don’t I’m sure you’ll love clothes from the company Glamour Kills. The name may sound a little unkind, but the clothes are loud and fabulous. Many artist have their own lines or sponsor this brand, such as the boys from All Time Low, who have the line JAGK. This name is a combination of...

The next Byzantine Empire
In sixth grade, we studied ancient cultures from Mesopotamia to Egypt to more, and I was always very interested. So, I was instantly fell in love with Chanel’s new bold trend - Byzantine inspired clothing. Above is a picture from the Chanel pre-fall/spring 2011 show in Paris at the Grand Palais. Even the venue reflected the clothes with an Ottoman Empire vibe. The salon was decked out in...

Listen to her! Jackets are making a statement everywhere. They are in perfect harmony with the “biker chic” trend this season. Everywhere I have seen denimn or leather jackets. I own this denimn one from American Eagle, and it was only about $32!
I have a certain fetish for leather jackets however, well, I will when I get my hands on one. They’re sold at H&M, thrift...

Cardigan Craziness!
The perfect cardigan can literally make any outfit. Whether you throw it over some leggings and a v-neck, skinny jeans a band t shirt or a small one with a cute dress or skirt. Cardigans and sweaters are now a staple in society today, and off-the shoulder sweaters are seen everywhere. I purchased two recently.
I bought that at zumies, but it was from Glamour Kills. If you don’t know what...
What's old is new.
I’m sure you all recognize this leading lady of the the 1950’s movie scene. This is Audrey Hepburn, a British actress and humanitarian that many girls, including me look up to. There is something about the time period ladies like Audrey came from that fascinates me. If I had a time machine and could go back to any point in time, it would definitely be the 1940s-1950s. There is just a...

fur trapper or fur disaster?
Seen last year as a foreshadowing at one of my favorite designers, Michael Kors, 2009 RTW show, these fur accessories have made their way to their peak. Like many things, there are two sides to every story. Some people think these are adorable yet have no idea how to wear them, some are all in for them, and others think they are hideous. In a world like fashion with so much variety of taste, you...
Department stores - your new best friend.
No, I don’t mean department stores such as Neiman Marcus, and Nordstrom, either. There is a certain myth that outlaws stores such as JC Penny, Macy’s, Sears, and more. I am here to say to no longer panic when the sales clerk says, “you could try sears.” (Anyone get the Mean Girls reference?) No.. okay. Anyways, this weekend I found a perfect pair of Steve Madden Cardigan...
Tis the to accessorize.
Here, ladies is your all-access pass to unlimited jewelry and accessories: bracelets, earrings, rings, necklaces, and more. The necklaces this season are particularly charming. The chunkier the better. The best thing about these accessories is they can spice up just about any outfit. So before you think you’ll have another lazy day - just throw on some jeans or leggings with a simple shirt...

Ugg Frenzy
002: There’s no doubt about it. Whether you live in California or Alaska, you’re going to see Ugg-clad women (..and some men) from the ages of pre-teen to Grandparents sporting Ugg Boots. When people hear that term, they often think of the basic ugg boots, beige colored and jeans tucked in. There are many ways to wear them, and other styles.
This is one example. This style is...
