S & B Rock the MET Gala Red Carpet

Happy Fashionista Friday!

Since the MET Gala was this week, I think it is fully appropriate to blog about S & B and how fabulous they looked at the event. UGH I love these two!

This dynamic duo knows fashion, both in Gossip Girl and here on the red carpet, these ladies know how to dress to impress and inspire fellow fashionistas.

Blake Lively's dress is gorgeous, so flattering, and perfect. The color works so well with her skin tone, and that hair! The pin-up swoop curls play perfectly with her whole look. And to finish off the outfit, she paired her super-sexy man, Ryan Reynolds, on her hip. How perfect can she be?!

Leighton Meester also looked stunning with her Gatsbyesque long-sleeved dress. The intricacy of the beading and stones all over the dress are so unique, because, lets face it, does Blair Waldorf ever skimp out when it comes to fashion? She will never fail to turn heads in any room, or carpet she arrives to. Paired with a strappy heel, relaxed curled hair, and the sexy slit up the leg, Leighton Meester definitely made the best-dressed list in my book!

As Blair said in the show, and I couldn't have said better myself,  "Fashion is the most powerful art there is. It's movement, design and architecture all in one. It shows the world who we are and who we are supposed to be."

PINK is the New Red

"Pink is the new red."

Happy Fashionista Friday Everyone!

Today's post is all about the "it" color for this summer: PINK!

As you can see in this picture, and probably every store you have passed in the mall with their new spring and summer collections out, you can see that something pink, or in the pink family, has been incorporated into almost every outfit. Whether its the blouse, pants, or statement accessory, adding pink to your wardrobe this spring and summer is a must!

You can make an outfit trendy, or stick with the classics, do a bold print or keep it simple, but I'm telling you, make it pink! 

The above looks are just some guidelines if you need help to match pink with things other than your favorite pair of denim. The first look is a simple hot pink tank tucked into a striped black and white skirt. The pink perfectly compliments the black and white, leaving you with a super cute, classic outfit for wherever you may be going. The rest of the looks all incorporate a pair of pink pants, some more dressy than others. The first look ties in a tucked polka dotted shirt underneath a white blazer, a bulky statement necklace and a little pop of color with the yellow envelope bag. The whole outfit plays well on each other with the different colors and patters, yet they all come together and make the outfit rock! The next look is a bit more simple, including pink pants again, and a navy and creme chevron top. The look is finished off with a sleek hairstyle and a layered chain necklace. This outfit is perfect for something formal, yet fun. And last but not least, and my personal favorite, is the last look. This look, of course, incorporates the pink pants again, but these are skinnies and a bit more casual than the other two. They're paired with a navy and white striped tee, left un-tucked, and a casual navy blazer. The outfit is finished off with sandals and my favorite part, the pink bag! This look is the perfect balance of preppy, cute, casual and dressy all at once, and I love it! 

Pink, Pink, Pink! You can show off your hot pink, or any other pink your heart desires, including salmon, peachy-pinks and light pinks this summer. As you can see in the looks above, navy, black, creme and white are all colors that will never fail to match with your pink. You can stay safe and follow these color guidelines, or go big and color-block or print-mix! I trust your judgement since I've been teaching you so well! 

Stay Girly! xoxo

DIY Lace Trim Shorts

We all have a pair of shorts that we love, but hey just may be a liiiitle too short.. 

I'm here to show you the perfect solution that you can start working on now to make those not-so-appropriate shorts wearable this summer! 

As shown above, all you need is a pair of shorts, some lace from your local fabric or craft store, a needle and thread, scissors and pins. 

To start, pin the lace around the legs of the shorts, making sure it is the length you desire and even on both sides. After that has been done, start sewing your way around (I would recommend twice so that the lace is guaranteed to stay on) and now you have new and improved lace-trim shorts! 

This DIY project will add a little spice to those plain shorts you once owned, and transform them into something fashionable!

Start Popping with Color

Now that spring is here, I know we're all itching to wear our colored denim and pastel colored peices, but with the weather still being cold, I know it's been difficult to do that...

Here's an outfit idea that will allow you to incorporate some of your colorful spring wardrobe, but won't leave you out in the cold to freeze! 

Colored denim are a must for spring. Weather it's light pink like the picture shown above, or something totally different like electric blue, you can pair it with a light sweater and make it work, while staying weather appropriate.

I love the skinny jeans with an oversized sweater look. It's cute, comfy and casual!  For the warmer days you can cuff your jeans, throw on a pair of flats and you're set. 

You can match your favorite bag and accessories to complete the outfit and now you are ready to take on a beautiful spring day in style! 

Hope this helps you dress cute for this werid "change-of-season" weather! Mix, match and master! 

Stay Cute! XOXO 

SMILE!

"A Smile is the prettiest thing you can wear." :)

A smile is the best accessory and should be worn with every fashionable outfit that you wear. It can change a look from drab to fab in minutes.

There is so much in life to smile about. Smile, Smile, Smile and make the world shine.

Stay Smilin'! XOXO

Slip-Be-Gone

Today I'm not posting about fashion trends, but how to store those fashionable clothes you love! 

I saw this and had to share with all my followers. Everyone hates those hangers that you buy, hang all your things on, and then the next time you open your closet they're on the floor because they slid right off the hangers. 

Here's a DIY project to make your cheap hangers as effective as the cloth, huggable hangers which cost much much more. And better yet, all you need is your cheap plastic hangers and a hot glue gun! 

All you have to do is turn on the glue gun and make a zig zag on the end of the hangers, in the same area where the clothing would make contact to hang. Do it to both sides and to all your hangers, wait for it to dry and VOILA! You have grippy hangers which will finally hang your clothes happily! 

Hope this helps!

Stay Girly! XOXO
