Are Leggings Still in Style?

2016-11-20T13:33:00.000-08:00

As you've likely noticed, leggings have been around for awhile now, but are you wondering if leggings are still in style now that it's almost 2017? Well, the answer is yes! Leggings are actually more popular than ever, because those who jumped on this trend early now think of the legging as a regular wardrobe staple. While, those who thought the trend would fade away are finally testing it out. Either way, leggings are not only comfortable, but they are so versatile, why would anyone want to give it up? I know I don't!

The trick is to buy leggings that are incredibly high quality that you can actually wear them as pants. When leggings first became popular, if you searched How to Wear Leggings, you probably would've been warned to not wear them as pants. I disagree! You really just need to find leggings that are made out of a thicker, non see-through fabric. Leggings are my ultimate go-to Pant Choice for Travelling, so I always look ones that hold their shape and hold me together. With that said, another important trick is to look for a pair that have a wide waistband, because not only is it slimming on the tummy, but it won't cut you off.

The leggings, featured on the right are incredibly high-quality leggings from HUE. They feature a wide flat waistband, as recommended, which is smoothing on the mid-section. Further, they are made from a stretch, shape-holding and non see-through fabric, so they will hold up as an actual pant. The best part though? They are extremely affordable at around $35.00.

What is the best watch for fitness?

2016-11-02T15:21:00.001-07:00

Recently I've taken a lot more interest in my physical and emotional health...as in I'm eating healthier, taking my vitamins, drinking more water, getting more sleep, walking more and I recently even took up yoga classes (which I love). I think once you get on to the healthy train, you just kinda want to keep going. For me, maybe this sounds weird, but it sorta makes me want to go for my annual (typically dreaded) physical to gauge how well I'm doing. In the meantime though, I've been thinking about getting a Fitbit Watch to not only track my real-time heart rate, but to get a better idea of my quality of sleep. After reading some reviews, it appears as though the Fitbit Watch automatically starts monitoring activities like walking or running and logs them based on both your movement and heart rate. For me, I really do walk a lot, so I would love to know how well I'm doing based on my heart rate. I was thinking about asking for one for Christmas, but I'm not sure I can wait that long...lol!

Spring Trend Alert - Faux Fur Vest

2015-03-03T11:33:00.000-08:00

If you're going to update your 2015 wardrobe with just one new Spring Fashion Trend item, make sure it's a luxurious Faux Fur Vest.

Not only is it unbelievably versatile, but it's practical, so it will keep you toasty warm, yet ethically stylish all winter long. They come in all different lengths and textures, so you can wear them short and sassy or long and glamorous.

If you're wondering how to pull the Faux Fur Vest look, the key really is to balance it off with slimmer fitting bottoms like skinny jeans, leggings or skirt.

Are you Looking for a Planet Ocean Omega Watch?

2015-03-03T09:30:00.000-08:00

I posted about the Planet Ocean Omega Watch online awhile ago, but I've noticed lately there seems to be a renewed interest in it. I went to Amazon.com and also noticed that stock is currently quite limited. I do agree that the Planet Ocean Omega is an exquisite sport timepiece, yet classy enough for formal events. My Husband is a "watch guy" and absolutely loves this watch. I've listed a few that are still available on Amazon.com below...

Ouch, I just woke up to some cold Fall, almost Winter weather this morning! I was looking at all my flats wondering if they'd be warm enough to wear to work. I'm currently at work and am surviving...lol, but I really wish I had a pair of her Emu Stinger Boots on instead. In fact, I kinda wish I had her entire outfit!

Blomus Wine Rack

2014-10-05T14:34:00.000-07:00

I've been looking everywhere for this Blomus Wine Rack. My Husband and I had one in our previous home and because it's wall-mounted, we had to leave it behind. We went back to the store where we bought it, but they no longer carry it. I searched for it previously online, but had no luck. Well, I must not have searched long enough, because I finally found it on Amazon!

Are Leg Warmers a Trend for 2014?

2014-09-06T15:35:00.000-07:00

Prada's Spring 2014 Ready-to-Wear Collection featured an array of legwarmers, yet with a different twist than we've seen in the past. The main difference is that they were not bunched-up, but rather pulled flush to the calves. As well the leg-warmers hit just below the knees and end at the ankles. As well, Prada's take on the leg warmer trend included a slightly more sporty feel with the addition of stripes. The fact that leg warmers have been shown in so many different ways, not only tells me they are a Top Fashion Trend for 2014, but that a very versatile trend.

I know it's just early September and I'm not trying to rush through the seasons, but I have to admit, I'm already thinking about boots for winter!

I was in Calgary, Alberta this past weekend for work and was surprised how many Calgarian girls are already wearing boots. Actually, I was with my mom and she wanted to check out Holt Renfrew (in-between the work part;) and almost every girl there was wearing a pair of boots.

So, what type of boots were the Calgarians sporting? Well, everything from the high & low Emu Stinger Boot to just-below-the-knee brown leather boots.

Halloween is truly just around the corner! Do you have your Halloween costume yet or are you still searching for some ideas? If you are, you might want to consider going as Katy Perry.

I think one of Katy Perry's best all-time looks has to be her California Girl costume from her hit song and music video "Califonia Gurls," featuring Snoop Dog.

You can actually replicate her look with the following one-piece dress, which is extremely colorful and eye-catching. Simply pair with a Katy Perry Purple Wig and some fun, affordable accessories like a lollipop and candy necklace.

Thought of your Halloween Costume yet?

2014-09-05T15:50:00.000-07:00

Normally I'm more last minute than this, but I've already started thinking about what I want to be this Halloween. After searching the internet for the Top Halloween Costumes for 2014, I can across the idea of going with some type of Superstar Halloween Costume. There are some really great female superstar costumes available right now from Katy Perry, Lady Gaga, Nicki Minaj and even KISS.

Seems like a great idea for any fashionista, because you can truly tailor her look to your style and, of course, comfort level! Maybe I'll post pictures!

Top Hair Trend Right Now?

2014-08-14T14:32:00.000-07:00

Are you looking for the top hair trend right now? If so you should know it's the return of the basic ponytail! I know the recent trend has been towards short hair, yet I've actually been growing my hair out (for what seems like so long). Now that it's finally grown out, I'm actually really loving just throwing it back into a (full texture) ponytail, with out straightening or curling it first. I guess I kinda like the wild ponytail, because it's fun & super easy. If you're in the midst of growing your hair out, my favorite tip is to buy some clip-in hair extentions, such as the following...love this look!

Have you Heard about No Tangle Earbuds?

2014-06-19T15:41:00.001-07:00
