Trend: Sharp Look for A Man or A Woman.

Hats are usually a Summer thing, you need to protect your eyes from the glaring sun. But a hat in the winter can add a certain classic sharpness to any layered outfit.

The great thing about a hat of this style, it can work on a man or woman. So when you are shopping try on a few hats and take a chance on a style that not everyone else is doing.

It's been on my wish list on Winter. I want to see how it changes up my favorite blazer and skinny jean look. 

Will you be wearing one this winter?

Freak Out! How to Style Short Hair at the Beach.

Today I started to freak out. In a few days I will be heading for the beautiful island of Maui - not a reason to freak out. I've ordered two swimsuits that should be here today - still no reason to freak out. But its the first time I've ever beached it with short hair. OK so it may not seem like a reason to freak out, but considering my go to style was always a bun I just don't know what to do with my short hair.  Then I saw this photo and I thought maybe I could do this. It's not really my usual style, but I like it and I'm always willing to push my stylish box to the edge. 


The problem - I had no idea where to even start. Luckily I remembered this video from LeafTV.The fun part is going to be trying this out.
Are you a fan of turbans? Or are they any other beach short hair styles that you recommend?

Trend: Marigold Marigold Consider Me Sold!

I've always been a fan of yellow. The bright beautiful color has brought sunshine into my life when Seattle has let me down. I know there are different shades of yellow, but I didn't see why anyone would want to mute the color from its original brilliance.

This is why I never say never.  Marigold has come into my life in a smack me in between the eyes kind of way. It doesn't matter if you're in a casual mood, heading to work or a fancy affair, marigold works in all cases.

I think my favorite look is the leopard print, but you know I am biased when it comes to anything leopard. 

To note I tried really hard to rhyme the title. I think I could of done better, but marigold doesn't rhyme with a lot of other words.

Showcase Ideas: Shoes Are Made To Be Seen

In a perfect fashionable world I would have a closet filled with shoes. Wait, if this is my perfect fashionable world I would have more than one closet.... I would have CLOSETS filled with shoes. You should always dream big especially when it comes to fashion.

Anyways this isn't a perfect world and I don't have tons of money to splurge on shoes. So shoes that I do buy are for everyday. But when I can't help myself and buy a beautiful pair of shoes, I want to display them in a way that I can enjoy them. Here are few ideas I found on pinterest that I are inspiring me to play with my shoes.

How do you showcase your shoes?

Are you on pinterest?  Leave me your link and let's be friends.

Spring Lipstick Picks: It's All About Color!

I am a red lipstick girl, but when spring comes around I like to branch out to bright fun lipstick shades. 

I started to pin some ideas for colors which then inspired me to look for actual lipsticks. These are on my current wish list and I have to admit the list is growing by the day. 

Nars Valparaiso Rich Raspberry
Illamasqua Mistress
Smashbox Pout
Bite Zinfadel

Chanel Lover

Do you have any favorite shades that you're excited to wear when the sun comes out?

Look Again Fashion: It's All In The Details!

It's all in the details even when it comes to the bottom part of your outfit. I know we can all get distracted by a pretty top and just opt to pair it with some nice jeans. That's not a bad thing, but a detailed pants/shorts  can make just as strong of a statement.

For a petite girl I taught myself to not even look at pants that had detail down to the ankle, you can't hem that. But lately I have been taking a second look because more and more bottoms are adding a detail that will even work for petite girls. 

So even though you may a girl who focuses more on pretty tops, don't forget that the bottom part of  your outfit can make just as strong of a statement.

Bored with Your Same Old Sweater Look? Try This Out!

In 1992 Kriss Kross had kids wearing their clothes inside out. In 2012 fashion bloggers want you to wear you sweaters backwards. Back in the Kriss Kross “do it inside out” phenomenon parents just didn’t understand. They would make you march right back in your room and fix your clothes. The backwards trend is being met with some praise. How do you feel about the “wear it backwards” look?

The deep v-neck.

It's all about the buttons. 

Just a few unbuttoned buttons. 

When it comes to achieving the best backwards look it all comes down to the sweater and the hair. When I used to have long hair I knew that every time I wore a top with a lot of back detail, I had to bun it. So if you’re a girl who loves sweaters, buns or maybe you just like to walk backwards – this look is for you.

Spring Dreaming: Skirts That You Will Want In Your Closet.

 So what does a girl do in a middle of a snow storm? She looks up fun skirts online. I love the snow as much as anyone, if anyone likes to watch snow fall from the comfort of her warm living room. It's not that I don't like snow, I just don't like being cold. That's why I am looking forward to sunny days where fun skirts can come out and play. Last year it was all about color blocking, this spring and summer it will be all about fun prints. 

After coming across a few awesome skirts, I wanted to find a few that I could make my own. The hardest part? Deciding which one to buy. 

Tie Dye Print

Poodle Pocket Skirt

Bright Spot Skirt

Diamond Stripe Skirt

Wild Thing Skirt

For the record its still snowing. It makes it a little hard to picture a time where I won't need to layer, but its fun to plan for it.
