SPRING MUST-HAVE: STATEMENT NECKLACE

Say Hello To Spring's Must-Have Statement Necklaces !!!

Statement necklaces have been a huge trend for a while now, and it doesn’t seem like they’re going anywhere any time soon. For good reason, too: the right statement necklace can bring any outfit to the next level. A really glam one can transform a plain outfit into something special, and a particularly large one might be the only accessory you need with a certain dress.

My personal favorite way to wear statement necklaces is to pair them with something that is otherwise boring, like a plain dress or a t-shirt and jeans. They’re such an easy way to dress up something simple, and can be worn in so many different ways. But because they make such a, well, statement, these pieces of jewelry can sometimes feel a little intimidating. And that’s why these style tips are here – to give you new ideas you never thought of, or inspiration to come up with your own awesome outfit.

Trendguide: How To Pull Off Suede

Suede isn’t something that’s very easy to wear but if you know how to wear it and what to wear it with, you can pull it off. These past few months, suede has been on trend and if you’re looking for something new to add to your wardrobe and change things up a little, why not try adding something suede? Not sure how? Check out these chic ways to wear suede.

MIX AND MATCH – one really easy way to sneak some suede into your look is to mix and match it with other pieces that have other textures. This is a great styling trick to do when you’re doing a monochromatic look to keep the outfit from being boring or just when you want something more interesting and detailed for the day.

SUEDE SHOES – suede has always been a popular fabric for shoes, especially boots, so if you don’t already have one, go ahead and get a pair. Suede shoes are great for keeping your feet dry and warm during a cold winter day. If you already have enough boots in your wardrobe, you can always get suede shoes in other styles. Suede is great on loafers and a bunch of other styles, too. 

SUEDE SKIRT – we all love a good skirt on days when we want to look extra girly and ultra chic but have you ever considered wearing a suede one? It’s a great alternative to your usual skirt as it adds more interesting texture to the outfit. Suede also makes great material if you’re looking for a little more structure in your skirt as it tends to hold its shape better than softer fabric like cotton.

SUEDE OUTERWEAR – if you’re looking for an alternative to your everyday denim jacket, why not try a suede one? It gives the same casual look and feel to your look but still looks really stylish and feels amply warm, too. You can also go for a suede jacket if you want something a little less casual. 

SUEDE ACCESSORIES – you know what else suede is great for? Accessories. And, if you’re a crafty gal, you can even make your own accessories with a yard or two of the thing. Tassel earrings, bracelets, statement bib necklaces – these are just some of the things you can do with a little bit of suede and some crafting supplies. Of course, you can also try perusing the racks at your favorite boutique for other pretty accessories made of suede.

How To Wear A White Button Down

If there’s one thing that no girl should be without, no matter how basic and simple her style is and no matter how limited her closet space is, it’s a white button down shirt. It’s a timeless piece that you’re sure to get a lot of use out of. Aside from pairing it with jeans for the ultimate lazy day go-to look, there are a thousand and one more looks you can do with it. Here are 5 gorgeous ways to style a white button down shirt that you can try the next time you run out of outfit ideas.

THE HALF TUCK – another easy way to give your white button down shirt a more street style look and feel is to do the half tuck. Now, there are two ways you can do the half tuck. One way would be to leave one flap / side tucked in and the other out and the other one would be to have the front of your button down tucked loosely and the sides and back out.

LAYERED WITH A CROP TOP – you know how crop tops are so hot and on trend right now? Well, all that skin-baring could get your tummy real cold now that it’s winter so why not layer it up with a white button down? White button down shirts are ideal for layering because they’re versatile so it’s pretty much like a blank canvass waiting for colors, prints and patterns.

UNDER A DRESS – want to give your dress the slightest bit of that pretty preppy touch? Wear it with a white button down shirt underneath and make sure to leave the collar out. This look should be done with a dress that hugs the body like a shift dress or a mini dress so you can get the best effect.

Jewelry Styling Tips

A statement accessory or a few bangles here and there can greatly influence your look. Jewelry, whether real or fancy, can transform your casual outfit to a blog-worthy attire. Make the most out of the power of accessories with these styling tips:

CASUAL OUTFIT + STATEMENT NECKLACE = SCENE STEALER

A classic outfit, such as a white shirt and denim jeans, can look better with a statement necklace. While the classic silver and golden tones are safe choices, it is best if you broke all fashion convention with a bright necklace.

PRINTED ATTIRE + BOLD, COORDINATED JEWELRY = FASHION MAVEN

Accessories don’t only go with simple outfits, they go well with printed attires as well. Should you decide to wear printed garb, you can look better with a bold statement accessory. Whether it’s a bangle, necklace or big earrings, what is important is that it bears a color that is found in your get-up.

KEEP YOUR STACK COORDINATED

A bangle stack is one of the hottest accessorizing trends of today. Should you decide to try this, make sure that the bangles are color-coordinated. They need not necessarily be in the same color field, but they should have elements that tie them together with your outfit.

Mix Edgy with Sparkly

Sparkly and glitzy accessories are no longer just reserved for dressy occasions. In fact, you can wear them with your punk or rock chic looks as well. These flirty items can add the feminizing balance to your edgy, menswear-inspired attire.

Cardigan Styling Guide

Cardigans – considered fashion staples – come in numerous shapes and sizes. Lately, one that has taken the fashion center stage is the long cardigan. Because of its extended length, it affords more coverage – and flair! Take hold of this trend with these hot ways to style a long cardigan.

GO CLASSICAL WITH DENIMS

Denims look great with virtually anything, so it’s bound to look mod with a long cardigan. When styling a long cardigan, think about contrast. If you have a frilly, feminine cardi, then wear it with ‘boyish’ jeans, such as distressed denim or boyfriend pants.

Look Luxurious in leggins 

If you are tired of the usual sweater and leggings look, then consider trading your top for a long cardigan. This stylish combination can make you look hot – even in this nail-biting weather.

GO LONG – AND SHORT

Fashion is all about contrast. So if you want to rock a long cardigan, then wear it with shorts. But since it is winter, make sure to hide your glamorous gams underneath thick tights or leggings. Still on the long and short of things, another great piece that looks stunning with a long cardigan is the mini skirt. This sexy item, like the shorts, adds contrast to your attire. Again, to keep your legs from freezing, wear tights or leggings underneath. The high and low of these items can create a style that’s worthy of a runway.

BE A DARLING IN A DRESS

There are so many dress styles out there, so there’s bound to be a cardigan-and-dress pairing that will suit your taste. Keeping true with the long and short tradition is a mini dress. Again, the long cardigan adds a creative layer, which is vital for the winter season. Another dress to wear with a long cardigan is a maxi dress. This flowy attire is not only for the spring and summer, it is meant for winter as well. Its long length covers your legs, so leave it to the long cardigan to cover your arms. Create a shapely silhouette by accessorizing with a waist-cinching belt. xo
