Wear your Hair

This new cutesy trend has been featured on the runways and trend blogs all over. This video is brought to us by free people and is available on YouTube. This was important to me because it gives a fresh take to what people would normally do, a french braid. the incorporation of colors is young and fresh. This strands of hair are relatively cheap and can be found at claires or spencer stores and sell for $7. However for those of us who love the look but want a more subdued version, i have some simple suggestions. choose colors that highlight you natural tones. 

for example if you are blonde choose different shades of blonde to incorporate into you hair and for other colors do the same. The trickiest color to blend is red heads. if you are a darker red i suggest blending in shades of a lighter or darker blonde depending how dark your shade is. 

Look to celebrity highlights for inspiration on trying your new braid style.

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

dont give ur boots a boot.

so its march and of course we are all thinking of buying new flats new sandals. but hold it just a minute. you need to know that this is the perfect time to buy boots. they are all discounted and marked down to ridiculously low prices because retailers need to make room for spring stuff. if you are on the east coast like me then you know that its still cold and a good pair of boots may still come in handy for this season. 

so check out all your favorite boot places for marked down boots. i saw great mark downs at DSW

and my favorite site for shoes... AMAZON had these amazing steve maddens for $35. can you believe it?

70s style has boomeranged back around and now we are seeing many of these retro prints making a come back. Tommy Hilfiger Spring 2011 line had a great mix of retro americana with a modern feel. this casual eyelet dress his the perfect sex appeal for a vacation look. Macys has alot of retro patterned dresses for under a $100 and they also have Tommy Hilfiger clothing.

i stole my boyfriends wardrobe

so as i work to perfect my summer intern style I am now looking to sportwear influencers like dsquared. this is from their spring 2011 line and it is the perfect use of androgyny. I often steal my boyfriends jeans because i hate to wear sweat pants when im feeling lazy and his pants just fit right in every way. Now i have an excuse to wear them all the time. 

Charlotte russe has this great fedora for under $15. paired with these rose colored glasses from forever 21 for $6 make for great boyish accessories. The shorts below are the perfect addition to be boyish look for $18 at forever 21.

Happy Shopping.

all thats fit to glitz

ahhh this is like a refreshing glass of water, i love glittery gowns and cocktail dresses. quality glitter dresses are a hott commodity. sometimes you get lucky and find a great dress with sequins for cheap but sometimes you see an amazing sequin dress at Nordstroms for $200. 

Luckily you have me to find all the deals for you

This sequined dress is from nordstroms: $58. that is an amazing find and it passes all of the sequined dress tests like sequins all around to the back and not just sequins on the front. well sewn and sequined wont be falling off and a great price.

happy shopping!
