A Perfect Ten


Brighten up this summer with neon fingertips!
One of the trends to try this season is bright neons, so with that said, painting your fingertips with an eye-popping color is a great way to start off. It is a subtle way for those who do not want to do "too much" and it also shows off your perky personality at the same time. I absolutely love bright nail polish no matter what season it is. So when it is in, I go all out! Some great colors to try out are neon green, hot pink, bright orange, and a loud yellow. What's so good about bright nail polish is that they go so well with any skin tone. You don't have to worry about making a fool out of yourself, instead you'll be making a bold statement!
A cool summer trick to try out is to mix and match colors. For example, paint your ring finger a different color to add more spunk your manicure.

I Like Your Boyfriend...Shirt!


Want to get stylish in under 5 minutes?


The boyfriend shirt is the perfect alternative to glam up for those in a rush. It is simple to throw on and can be dressed up with your favorite accessories. This style is mixed with a masculine silhouette with a touch of chic femininity.

There are many ways to wear this buttoned-down shirt. You can wear it alone, along with a chunky belt to cinch the waist to flatter your shape. This way is great for this season because it can be used as a summer dress. Pair this look with stylish strappy sandals for head-to-toe glam. Another way to wear it is to layer it over dark denim skinnys. This is more of a tomboy-ish style but can be very chic at the same time. Add jeweled bracelets, a long necklace, and a fedora to top this trend off.


Hopefully the boys wont mind that we're borrowing this trend and making it look so much better!

The Pack is Back!


When you think of a fanny pack, you immediately envision a tourist wearing it and filling it up with traveler's information and digital cameras. Not too many people are fond of such an accessory but it has finally made its comeback and it is more chic-er than ever! Gucci has created this fann-, excuse me, this waist bag which is just like a fanny pack but much cuter. I can actually picture myself wearing this out in public without shame. What makes this waist bag so perfect is the fact that the colors are pretty versatile and would go with most of your wardrobe. It also doesn't have such a bulky look: each pack is pretty small and lies flat on your waist. Last but not least, it's GUCCI! I wouldn't turn it down for nothing. So if you're looking for a small bag to take out without worrying about bulkiness or annoying straps, this waist bag will be a great investment. The standard retail price for this is $425.00


I want one!!

Release Your Inhibitions


For some, there's nothing more daring than to walk out wearing an eye catching piece with bold prints. If that pertains to you, get ready to take a fashion leap of faith and put on the most captivating piece you can possibly think of!
Bold prints are a MUST HAVE this season. They are literally "popping" out of every store you walk into. With a wide range of selections starting from geometric to animal and even floral, these prints are bound to liven up your wardrobe this summer. What makes this trend so popular is that it makes such a big impression which we all wont mind, right? It'll take just one bold item to make your whole outfit stand out from a distance. It shows off your sense of style and also lets everyone know you're not afraid to make a scene.
If you are a little hesitant to wear such prints, you can always start off with subtle items such as scarves or tops with patterned hems, instead of going all out with a top completely covered with the print. Just a tiny bit of it will be enough to turn heads!

Here's a dress I found on Lulus.com that I fell in love with. The tribal print (my absolute fave) stands out and could be dressed up with bright accessories.
