Shooties have been hitting the fall runways like crazy this year. I first noticed the trend last fall and was not too fond of the “shootie” as I am one who takes a while to get assimilated with new trends.
By definition, the shootie is half shoe, half bootie which offers up a variety of styling options. Pair shooties with any outfit you would normally wear with shoes or booties, and you’ve got yourself a fashion-forward ensemble!
These stunning Jimmy Choo 'Kerfield' mesh and suede booties are screaming my name with those zebra-esque stripes and the super high heel. This fierce pair would look extra chic paired with burgundy skinny jeans and a black peplum tee for a mild fall day. I would bring some bold accessories into the mix by adding a black and gold collar necklace and drop earrings. Completing the look, I’d stack a spiky and beaded bracelets for some texture. And Voila!--the perfect recipe for a fabulous fall look.

Mustard yellow and bright pink look so lovely together, who knew? Nancy of Adore to Adorn accessorizes this outfit so beautifully with fun colors, including an INPINK double layer necklace. Pairing aviators with something flirty like an a-line skirt is also among my favorite trends for the season. Visit Adore to Adorn to see Nancy rock more creative and cheeky looks!

Selena Gomez is like that one girl we all went high school with. She dates the most popular boy, goes to the salon at fourteen, and she *always* looks great.
I mean that: always! I've never seen her look awful, and at a BBC 1 Radio visit today the pop songstress’ outfit was undeniably flawless. Every piece was impeccable from her crisp white blazer, to a Dolce&Gabbana bag, and absolutely swoon-worthy Giuseppe Zanotti pumps. Cap that with a long, pendant necklace and plum lips!
Selena was having a “work it girl” moment indeed, but what else is new?

I’m in love with this look by Annie of The Fashion Poet! It demonstrates how impactful graphical pieces can be and the pops of red here are absolutely perfect! I also love this skirt because this is a rare instance where the peplum trend in worn in a youthful way. Check out the Fashion Poet to see Annie working fashion like a form of art!

I love Emmy Rossum in this Zuhair Murad dress, and check out the face she’s giving! She loves it too! Head-to-toe everything about this is beautiful and classic. The cut is flattering and the sex appeal is undeniable but not over stated.
Bejeweled double-drop earrings are the perfect compliment to any sleek dress and I can’t gush about the statement ring enough. All around, it’s a very gorgeous outing for Emmy!

Spring Fashion Trends: Bold Lips Meet Bold Gems

Who hasn’t seen this trend and stared longingly? The bold lip is such a classic fashion staple but also remains somewhat elusive. I’ve heard so many stories about failed attempts at achieving this look, and complaints that certain colors just “don’t look right” with this skin tone or that hair.
I’m here to proclaim: every wasted tubes of lipstick is worth it! The result is so fearless and pretty at the same time. Plus, I always encourage girls to buy their makeup from places like Mac who have color-trained specialists and give makeovers to sample their colors. The products aren’t cheap but the value of the perfect summer shade, and the saved time and frustration is well worth it!
Now, once you’ve got that red, plum, bronze, or pretty pink lip you shouldn’t stop there! Statement jewelry paired with bright makeup remains fresh and right on trend! I especially love a bold mouth worn with pretty rings which is a bit unexpected at first. We think of these body parts as so far away from each other, but consider how often we touch our faces during the day. Now, imagine a candy colored smile gently grazed by a hand sporting an art deco hinged ring!
Adorable, isn’t it?

Jennifer of Just Add Glam looks so comfy and cool in this flirty spring ensemble! I love how this outfit brilliantly combines the floral skirts we’ve all been stockpiling for the spring, and the cute but casual sweaters left over from fall. Then, the real fun comes in when you combine these pieces with punchy accessories like bold heels, shades, or a stud bracelet. Jennifer has done all of the above beautifully!
Visit Just Add Glam and discover an excellent resource for more fun spring styles!

Runway Chic: Zoe Saldana in Rodarte

Zoe Saldana attended the Star Trek: Into Darkness premiere in an edgy, asymmetrical dress from the Rodarte Fall 2013 Collection. Despite what their stylists say, celebrities can't always pull off runway looks, but Zoe definitely has the figure for it and her skin looks fabulous against this beige.
It’s the styling I just can’t get behind completely. The red lip looks a bit salacious against all this sheer fabric, and the cut of this dress with these heels makes Zoe look like a flamenco dancer! The pops of bold red actually compete with the dress instead of contributing to her overall look.
If I were rocking this ensemble I’d wear my hair down with barely-there makeup to embrace the “nude” minimalism this piece embodies. The cuff bracelet worn high looks cute. Let’s keep that!

Who can argue with this perfect springtime look from Kimberly of Penny Pincher Fashion? Again, hard-meets-soft might be my favorite theme for this season. Pairing tough girl aviator shades with florals? Beautiful! Using an INPINK chain bracelet to add spunk to a feminine color palette? Inspired! This outfit proves that if you’re thoughtful about coordinating, you can definitely look great on a budget!

Sidewalk Chic: Kerry Washington in Prabal Gurung
MAY 13, 2013

Some television show characters are known for being impeccably fashionable and I can’t help but apply that same standard to the actors playing them. Is that fair? Usually not, because only in rare cases does the celebrity actually live up to the high bar (Sarah Jessica Parker).
If you watch Scandal you’ll know lead character Olivia Pope always looks perfect: trendy and chic, without a hair out of place. Kerry Washington doesn’t quite hit that mark here. This bag is too large and distracting. Her white accessories compete with an already complicated dress. Also, I appreciate the minimalism, but with her hair pulled back, these large stud earrings look a bit old-fashioned.
Again, this is by her on-screen persona’s high standards. Outside of that, I love the flattering cut on this Prabal Gurung piece from the Fall 2013 collection, and her makeup. Not impeccable, but very pretty indeed.

Spring Fashion Trends: Black and White and Gold

Let’s put a spin on the black and white trend popular this spring!
Try adding accessories that feature gold-tone metals to incorporate a subtle layer of complexity that the eye doesn’t expect. This can also make your look incredibly modern! Rock a wrap bracelet with gold studs if you’re wearing pieces that feature geometric patterns or a punk rock edge. Or try capping a flirty black and white dress with an all black polish to add an extra touch of mystery!
Trends can provide excellent inspiration but don’t follow them as fashion religion! Use them as a base to branch out. The easiest way to experiment is with your accessories first!
