Trend Report 18: Boho Glam

Happy Memorial Day, everyone! :) Here's a little trend report for you all! :)

Enjoy! :)

Just because you're trying out a boho style doesn't mean you have to go full-out hemp and hippie. Boho chic is one of my favorite styles. To rock this look, wear your favorite boho dress or outfit (if you're new at the boho look, try a patterned dress like in my example) and dress it up with chic a chic bag and glittery earrings and heels, or cute wedges.

Trend Report 17: Jeggings

When I first heard of the 'jegging' trend in mid '09, when the only jeggins avalable were super overpriced, and slightly poorly-made. So, I waited a bit, and purchased a pair before they became mainstream and everyone and thier mother (litterally) were wearing them.

Here are some of my tips for rocking Jeggings without looking like you forgot your pants.

• ALWAYS wear a long top with jeggings, or else you will get a severe case of crotch-staring.
• Please, don't wear flip-flops.
• Even though I put flats in this example, it is best to wear boots with jeggings, because it IS leggings fabric, it can look awkward at the feet.
• Try to get jeggings with faux-jean accessories. Ex. Pockets, a zipper, ect.
• Jeggings were made for comfort, so stay comfy!
• If you wouldn't wear leggings normally, don't.
• Don't treat them like blue leggings. They are made to be faux jeans. Treat them as such. Don't wear them under a dress. Please.
• Balance the straight-legged look with a top with a touch of flare, and classic pieces.
• When picking out a top, remember: If it doesn't cover your crotch area, don't wear it.
• Remember, most of all: They may LOOK like jeans, but they are still leggings. Don't wear them everyday like you would your jeans. It's gross.

I love the kind of ‘hippie headbands’ that go with the 70’s style dresses.

Quick Mothers Day Post

Happy Belated Mothers Day, everyone!

For Mothers Day, my Dad and I took my Mom to a little flea market in Soho.

It was not fun.

The day was kind of a bust, my camera wasn't charged, the flea market sucked, everything was WAY overpriced (almost $200 for a poorly-made fedora? No thanks.), the restaurant we went to had awful service and food, and it was way too hot. The only good part what that I found the place where I want to get married... Old St. Patricks Church. :D

So, here's the single decent picture that I got from yesterday on my phone.

Me and my Mommy! <3

I wore a little boho dress and a shruken denim jacket with wedges.

Hope you had a lovely Mothers Day! <3

Clogs Are For Lovers

I have absolutely been loving the 70s comeback that's been happening lately, and the clogs are no exception. When Chanel and other top couture designers started showing clogs on the runway a year ago in their Fall 2010, I was less than impressed. But like any other trend, as it trickled from the runway and started in everyday wear, I started loving them. Here are some of the clogs that I've been loving lately. Plus, a few Wedges and just plain awesome vintage throwback shoes.

*links are under pictures :)

Urban Outfitters, $249

Saks, $770
