July Favorites: Gold & Statement Pieces

2012-08-01T13:23:00.001-07:00

These couple of months have seem to pass by quick. Its already August and there are only four more months left in this year! We are loving some of the fashion trends for the summer. We wanted to share some of our favorites for the month of July. We always like to be fashionable at a budget and try to look for sales. Often we find great buys at a reduced price or on sale. Also, buying dupes for other name brand products are great alternatives for staying in style at an affordable price. For this month we are loving jewlery and accessories. These are great pieces that can dress up any outfits to make them look classy, elegant, and sophisticated. It good to step out of your comfort zone and try styles and jewlery that you might not have thought of. It is all about having fun and creating your own unique style! I hope that you all like our July favorites and get inspired!

I love adding color to any outfit I style. One of the ways to achieve this is by selecting bright bold nail polish colors. Two of my favorite colors this month have been the Gold Jewel FX nail polish from Milani and this gorgeous Pink nail polish from Nabi.

For the month of July, I added several jewelry pieces in my wardrobe. Two of my favorite jewelries are from H&M. I love the versatility of the gold chain necklace and the assorted gold and pearl bracelet. These are great statement pieces that are modern and trendy.

One of my favorite hair products that I always rely on for styling my hair is this hair serum from John Frida. This frizz-ease formula is perfect for taming my hair on frizzy days and leaving it smooth and manageable. I love this product!

One of my favorite beauty products this month has been this Lash Blast Volume mascara from Covergirl. I love the volume it adds to my lashed and the brush is the perfect tool for transforming my lashes into voluminous lashes for all-day wear.

My favorite jewelry item that I added to my wardrobe this month is this Golden Lion Medallion Necklace from H&M. This is my favorite piece this month. This piece is trendy, fashionable, and adds a retro feel to any look. This is a great statement fashion-forward piece.

One of my favorite purchases for this past month has been this white Aldo bag. It looks classy and dresses up any outfit. The bag came with this scarf wrapped around which gives it such an elegant look. I like to pair the bag with tan or brown shoes and it is a perfect match. The best part is that this bag was on sale!

Lately, I have been loving hoop earrings. One of my favorite additions to my jewlery have been hoop earings. I got these pair of earrings on sale in Sears on sale and I am really loving them. The are great statement pieces to any outfit. I love the detailing of these earrings.

These have become one of my favorite earrings in my jewlery collection. I love the shapes and style of these earrings. To make these earrings stand out, I like to pair them with a neutral color top. I got these pair of earrings along with other hoops on sale which have become great additions to my collection at an affordable price.

As soon as I saw this necklace, I knew it was a great investment piece to add to my collection. I got this necklace at Khols. I love that it was at a reasonable price but it does not look cheap. It is chuncky and nice but not heavy. It dresses up an outfit nicely. I wore this necklace to a wedding and I loved how it complemented my outfit. I love that I will be able to wear this necklace with many outfits.

I want to add more clutches to my bag collection and this is a perfect addition. It is girly and classy. I love the sparkle at the end and the color is perfect with wear with nude pumps to dress up any outfit. I love the size of the clutch and it does not feel too overwhelming.

These nude pair of Aldo shoes have become one of my favorite pairs of shoes. They are comfortable to walk around and a nice fit. These have high heels so I wouldn't recommend walking in these shoes all day. I love that these are nude and I can pair them with any outfit, especially pattern pieces.

thanks, xoxo!

Outfit of the Day: Revamping Thrifted Items

2012-06-27T01:35:00.002-07:00

Japanese Gardens

While enjoying a quiet afternoon at the Japanese Garden sat Fort Bliss at El Paso, Texas, I chose an outfit where I can showcase the ways I revamp thrifted or old items in my wardrobe to style them with new items to create trendy outfits. In this outfit of the day, I styled a polka dot dress that I transformed into a skirt. The detailing at the waist allowed me to transform the dress into a skirt by cutting the top part and leaving the bottom section. I styled this revamped dress/skirt with a casual black shirt with ruffled sleeves that I got from TJ MAXX. To complement the theme of the outfit, I kept the accessories simple by adding a black purse from Target and a black pendant necklace and bracelet from Forever 21. I finished the look by adding a pair of black dress sandals from Nine West. Visiting a replica of a Japanese Garden in a desert environment is the perfect representation of how things can adapt to new setting. The old items and thrifted pieces in my wardrobe have adapted to new fashion trends.

I hope you get inspired!

With warm weather finally here, it is the perfect time to wear feminine spring dresses. Pastel colors are popular this season. For this outfit of the day, I focused on a pastel pink color. While enjoying a sunny day at the Fort Bliss Old Ironsides Museum, I opted for a monochromatic look with this pastel pink dress from Forever 21. I styled the dress with a nude vintage handbag. To follow the monochromatic look of the outfit, I also added a pair of nude snake textured shoes from Franco Sarto. I accessorized the outfit with a pink layered necklace from Forever 21, a rose style and company watch, and a pair of pink studded earrings also from Forever 21. While visiting a military museum, this pastel color is perfect to showcase the feminine silhouette of a trendy spring dress.

March Favorites: Sparkle and Glamour!

2012-04-02T23:19:00.002-07:00

Hello ladies, we hope that February was a great month for everyone. As we begin this new month, we want to share some of our March favorites that you might love as well! During the month of March we attempted to showcase our favorite upcoming spring trends. Whether its following trends or creating your own style, add items to your wordrobe that highlight your unique style and make you feel glamorous and confident!

One of my favorite items this month is a pair of nude snake textured shoes from Franco Sarto. The style, comfort and versatility of the shoes allowed me to style it with spring dresses that showcase the feminine silhouette of the outfits. Nude shoes are great pieces to have in your closet. These nude shoes are especially great due to their unique and classic style.

Another great pair of shoes I added to my shoe collection are metallic grey pumps from BCBGeneration. The unconventional color of the pumps highlight the modern feel of the shoes that can easily be incorporated into the new spring fashion trends. The pumps add a flirty twist to any outfit.

Clutches are timeless pieces that are always trendy and in fashion. They are perfect for any occasion. While some clutches add a pop of color to an outfit, they can also add a pop of sophistication and elegance to any outfit. This metallic silver clutch from Aldo is the perfect item to add glamour and beauty to an outfit on a special occasion.

Darkened metal statement necklaces are popular this season. My favorite jewelery for the month of March is this gorgeous silver choker from Zara. The elegant simplicity of the silver choker adds an edgy yet feminine silhouette to any outfit.

The fragrance of the Dolce & Gabbana The One has captivated my sense of smell for a long time. For the month of March, I was finally able to add the delicate scent of this perfume to my everyday wear. This item is especially significant item-- and my favorite addition this month-- as it was a gift from a loved one. It has become one of my favorite perfumes that I am grateful to own.

The fragrance "Eva" by Eva Longoria is one of my favorite fragrances. This is a flirty yet fresh fragrance that accentuates the sophisticated and glamorous feel of this scent. This is a great fragrance for this spring to add a touch of elegance.

One of my favorite accessory for this month was my new Fossil rose gold watch. This is a great statement piece to add that pop of color to an outfit. This watch helps add character to any outfit. I love how the color of this watch is a great alternative to the gold watch.

This intensive hair and skin treatment oil has been one of my favorite products for a few months now. It has been great in improving my hair while making my hair smooth and silky.

This red bag by Aldo is one of my favorite handbags to dress up an outfit. This is a classy bag that adds a hint of sophistication. I love the color and style of this bag.

Thank you and I hope you get inspired by some of our favorite products and accessories!

Spring Fashion Lookbook: Trends featuring Forever 21

2012-03-31T00:06:00.000-07:00

University of Texas at El Paso

From pleated skirts to color blocking outfits, these are two major trends this spring season. Vibrant colors and patterns are in style and while it can be costly to keep up with the new trends, you can still be trendy and in style with affordable prices. Here are some flirty pleated pieces and color blocking ideas to add to your wardrobe this season inspired by clothes from Forever 21. One of the most popular trends this season is pleats. Maxi pleated skirts are classic and chic items that come in different colors and textures. Pleated dresses are also popular this season. I styled two different outfits that embrace the pleated trend. Another popular trend this season is color blocking. There are multiple ways of color blocking. In this video, I color blocked a skirt and showcased how color blocking dresses are also very trendy this season. With spring finally here, the warmer temperatures are perfect for wearing ultra feminine pieces and incorporate the popular trends that make us feel beautiful and confident. Walking through the contemplative gardens and unique architectural landscape of the University of Texas at El Paso, I am reminded of how nature plays a central role in fashion. Drawing from the colors, textures, palettes, and silhouettes that create nature, I immerse myself into the juxtaposing yet in sync worlds of fashion and nature to highlight how a change in season can bring a world of opportunities to style flirty, feminine outfits that are both flattering and trendy. With the gardens and spectacular architectural designs of the University of Texas at El Paso, I find tranquility in an urban, flower-filled oasis.

Griffith Park Observatory

While styles and trends may change with the changing season, there are certain pieces in your wardrobe you wear again and again. The style, color, and silhouette of any favorite item in your wardrobe will allow you to be creative in the ways you style and accessorize it. Southern California is well known for its exquisite locations with beautiful sceneries and breathtaking views. Visiting Griffith Park Observatory near Los Angeles on a sunny afternoon is a great opportunity to wear your favorite piece of clothing to wear a casual yet chic outfit. My favorite item in my wardrobe is a pink H&M blouse with button detailing in the back. The versatility of the silk blouse has allowed me to style this item in a myriad of ways that include styling with jeans for a casual look or an elegant faux leather skirt for a sophisticated look. As one of the largest urban park and its close proximity to Hollywood, Griffith Park is a popular tourist attraction. The Griffith Observatory is a popular site for its science related activities and beautiful dome that encloses its many telescopes. While visiting the Griffith Observatory, I wanted to wear a casual outfit and my favorite pink H&M blouse was flexible enough to be casual yet stylish at the same time. While exploring all of the activities the observatory has to offer, I paired the beautiful silk blouse with a comfortable Charlotte Russe denim jeans pants. I accessorized the outfit with a trendy Forever 21 gold chain necklace and a gold Style & Co. watch. To complement the colors and accessories, I added a brown handbag and brown H&M boots. With the incredible views from the Griffith Park Observatory in the backdrop, the beauty of the scenery showcases the colors of the outfit and highlights how a favorite piece of item in your wardrobe can make you feel beautiful and confident.

I hope you get inspired!

Thank you and I hope that you get inspired to be creative with your favorite pieces of clothing and style them for a variety of looks!

Splash of Color: Styling Colored Jeans

2012-03-14T21:05:00.005-07:00

Seal Beach, California

Colored pants are in style this season. From red to hot pink, colored pants are available in all spectrums of the rainbow colors and beyond. While colored denim pants are not a new trend, they have made a great comeback in today’s fashion community with an updated flare. Inspired by the modern and fashionable ways of styling colored pants, I immersed myself into the colored denim trend and added vivid colors into my wardrobe. Inspired by the warm sunny days of Seal Beach, California, this is the perfect location to showcase the vibrancy of colored denim pants. Famous for its beautiful beach shorelines and the second largest wooden pier, Seal Beach, California has the perfect atmosphere to highlight why the colored denim pants has become one of the most popular fashion trends this season. On this beautiful sunny day and the beaches of Seal Beach in the background, I style three colored denim pants with complimentary colors, harmonizing patterns and statement accessory pieces. Colored denim pants are perfect wardrobe items to display your personal fashion style.

Fashion Lookbook: Styling Skirts for Spring

2012-03-13T14:40:00.001-07:00

Downtown El Paso

The revitalization of the old downtown area of El Paso is visible in the restoration of historical buildings with exquisite Spanish-influenced architecture. As a border town, El Paso’s rich history links two countries— Mexico and the United States. The revitalization of downtown El Paso and its rich architecture served as a source of inspiration for “revitalizing” the styling of skirts and transitioning them from a warmer wear to a more casual, chic style appropriate for warmer weather. Spring season is approaching. With a new season comes warmer weather. A skirt is a perfect staple wardrobe piece that can easily be transitioned into warmer weather. I styled four different skirts that can be worn for a more casual and chic look for all occasions. Skirts can be dressed for a casual day out while having a lunch date in the town or for a more formal wear appropriate for a day at the office. Downtown El Paso, Texas served as the inspiration for styling outfits highlighting the versatility of skirts in an urban atmosphere.

Outfit 1: H&M White Tank Top; Forever 21 Printed Silk Shirt; Forever 21 Beige Cardign; Forever 21 Pink Pearl Necklace; Forever 21 Embellished Bangel Set; Style & Co. Rose Gold Watch; Forever 21 Nude pumps.

Outfit 2: H&M Brown High-waisted Skirt; White Short Sleeved Tank Top; Red Patterned Scarf; Vintage Brown Bag; Style & Co. Gold Watch; Nine West Brown Platform Sandals.

Some trends that will be great for the spring include bright colors, stripes, and pastel colors. A great color to showcase this spring will be orange.

Adding Sassiness: Styling Animal Prints

2012-03-02T02:55:00.003-08:00

Downtown Fullerton

The mixture of cultures, vibrancy, and urbanity of downtown Fullerton is the perfect setting to showcase the enduring feminine look of animal print attire. The blend of the historical and modern landscape of downtown Fullerton complements the styling and accessorizing of animal print dresses to accentuate their casual yet chic silhouette. Embarking on an urban safari with animal print dresses, fusing subtle colors to the wardrobe with the accessories create an elegant feel with a splash of sassiness to animal print outfits for any occasion. Adding nude tone accessories is a great way to town down animal prints without overwhelming the look. In styling three different animal print dresses, I highlight the different ways to style different types of animal prints – in this case, snake, python, and tiger prints. The historical and modern panorama of downtown Fullerton exhibits how animal print garments navigated through the fashion trenches of the past and how they continue to blend within the realm of contemporary fashion trends. Animal print clothing and accessories are great staple pieces to a wardrobe that never go out of fashion, and in fact, are always in style.

A Timeless Classic: the little black dress

Mckelligon Canyon

Situated inside on the eastern side of the Franklin Mountains, Mckelligon Canyon is not only a destination for popular rock-climbing and outdoor recreational adventures; it is also an area imbued with Indigenous roots with Spanish colonial history connecting Mexico and the United States via the border town of El Paso. The desert canyon walls and scenic views of Mckelligon Canyon are sources of inspiration and the perfect setting for styling and accessorizing a timeless classic wardrobe piece: the little black dress. From casual to chic and vintage to elegance, the scenery of the trails, the historical features of the canyon and the outdoors amphitheater accentuate the versatility of the little black dress. The popularity of the little black dress stemming from the simple albeit elegant designs of Coco Chanel served as an inspiration to style four distinct black dresses with different patterns, fabrics, and lengths. From a casual wear on a sunny afternoon to an elegant look for evening date at an outdoor amphitheater, the little black dress is a versatile, timeless, and an accessible piece that is essential to complete a woman’s wardrobe.
