beamer benz or bentley.. i mean demin tees and scarves

ahhh the coveted denim tee and scarf combo.. its a great look for anytime of year. especially now with barbecue season coming up and the denim jacket hotter then ever.
the best money i spent this year was on loads of victoriassecret vnecks 2 for $24.. however you can find these essentials at any of your favorite stores. remember fit and sheerness are essential to the choice you make. remember with fit: tight enough to see your curves but loose enough tht you can breath.
as far as denim selection goes,, i bought a denim jacket from AE 8 years ago and i still wear it today. this is this seasons denim jacket from American Eagle for $49.50
denim jackets are best worn open so i usually buy a size down.
scarves are a dime a dozen. luckily there is a method to the madness of choosing a scarf. remember to look for a gauzy cotton material that gives your scarf fullness when you wrap it around your neck. also in the summer time this gauzy material is less heavy and wont make you hotter then you already are. also a fringed end makes for a great finish on a scarf. among the basic color choices dont forget to mix in prints to your scarf selection. This scarf from charlotte russe is $9.50

Happy Shopping!

your highness

so we all love sky high platform. i'm a fan cus im only 5'5 so it really elongates my legs when im on a date with my boyfriend who is 6" something or with my friends who are 5'7. but theres a fine line between glamourous platforms and tranny hooker platapussies. 
These platforms from jessica simpson collection are a signature look. you can get these shoes from DSW and use a coupon from retailmenot.com to get a % off and free shipping. these shoes will elongate you leg and you can look very chic instead of a hot mess.

happy shopping.

Designer Trends

This dress is from Dior Winter 2010 line. Dior has managed to bring the girly floral chiffons of spring to the winter by adding over the knee boots and tailor jackets.
This show featured the best of English 1800s style with a modern twist.
Personally I think chiffons and florals should stay in the spring
So if you want that tailored English look for less go to forever 21, they have great separates that make perfection if paired with the proper pieces.
normally you would see this and its kinda ugly. no hanger appeal, no nothing.
but if you pair this sleeveless shirt dress with lace tights, ankle booted oxfords a button up underneath and an oversized open front sweater over it with cute dark framed glasses you have the perfect english look with a modern twist and more weather appropriate i would say.
