Style Icon: Audrey Hepburn

noreply@blogger.com (karyn) — Thu, 02 Aug 2012 02:59:00 +0000

...and that is why we love Audrey as our style icon.

Classic and simple, her style remains timeless to this day. By just doing her thing, Audrey reminded us that you don't have to try hard to look good. She took simple clothing items like the little black dress, black skinny trousers, and turtleneck sweaters, and turned them into wardrobe staples. She glamorized her simple style by accessorizing with ballet flats, silky neck scarfs, and big sunglasses.

Sounds too comfy to be true, but these styles have stuck around since the last Breakfast at Tiffany's and now we'd like to re-introduce them in our own strut savvy way.

Look One : Breakfast at Tiffany's

"Like, I literally just rolled out of bed and threw on these sunnies to hide my face!"

1. Let out your inner girly side with a little black dress. Wear with flats and you're a classy lookin' lady!

2. New York, New York! Get that Uptown city girl who only shops vintage look with - oh, so, trendy - pearls. Vintage jewels are a dime!

3. Brunch is usually an occasion spent mingling with randoms from last night so you're either not looking too good or you're hiding from that guy you didn't mean to flirt with! Add a little edge or go incognito with a pair of oversized black sunnies.

4. Never second guess a girl with pointy toes... she usually means business, or just knows how kick-ass pointy toe shoes can be! Try the Regina Ballet Flats.

Look Two: Funny Face

"Let's drink coffee and listen to vinyl..."

1. For classic feminine flare wrap your neck around a light silk printed scarf and don your larger than life shades!

2. Get comfy with a cashmere oversized sweater to get the "I just threw this on and don't I look awesome" effect.

3. Wear the cropped black pants to let the boys know you're cool to hang. That's right, boys! You're groovy. You dig music.

4. You don't need heels to look amazing.. Your Carson Ballet Flats from Frye say that you are laid back and trendy... and you're either a tiny dancer or black swan! Oooo, mysterious!

Denim Do's

noreply@blogger.com (karyn) — Wed, 18 Jul 2012 17:38:00 +0000

Picking an outfit can get a little crazy sometimes... If I'm rushing to get ready and don't know what to where, the last thing I need is to get OCD on fashion and tear my closet inside out! This is when I turn to my internet fashion friends, the style blogging gurus, for some outfit inspiration...

If you're struggling in the closet today, here is a little help:

Three ways to strut your denim, along with three places to wear it.

1. BOYFRIEND + BLAZER

boyfriend + blazer by strutaddict

What to Do: Work and Play, Happy Hour with Sushi!

What to Wear: Get business cas chic with the boyfriend and blazer look! Boyfriend jeans have a little more edge than your basic skinny or flare jeans, because you can roll them up and pair with heels! Add any colored blazer over a neutral colored tank and the look is complete!

boyfriend + blazer featuring Jovita Sandals and Mohawk Clutch

2. DENIM + LEATHER

denim + leather by strutaddict

What to Do: Concert, Coffee Shop, or Art Gallery!

What to Wear: Make an artsy fashionista statement with denim and leather! Pair a leather jacket with a denim dress or jeans. Switch it up and pair a denim top with leather pants or shorts! Complete the look with booties or flats and a leather handbag or clutch.

denim + leather by strutaddict featuring Dylan Zip Wallet, Karly Bootie, and Sunburst Pendant Necklace

3. DONE-UP DENIM + TEE

What to Do: Late-Night Movie, or Bowling!

What to Wear: Go for an edgy-rocker look with done-up denim and a tee! Pair any printed or colored denim with a casual, comfy tee (try an oversized rock n' roll band tee for kicks). Dress it up with some heels or booties and fun jewelry.

Denim + Tee featuring Ndakkina Booties and Clingy Wallet

Zodiac Necklaces - What's Your Sign?

noreply@blogger.com (karyn) — Tue, 26 Jun 2012 00:43:00 +0000

Looking at another person’s jewelry is like reading a map to their personality. My favorite jewelry pieces are the ones that tell a story, such as my zodiac necklace. When people ask, “What is that?” I can say, “This is my zodiac sign: it means that I am loving, courageous, special, and awesome!” They won't know what it really means, but at least I can walk away believing that I am really loving, courageous, special and awesome... **wink wink**

This month, we love the Zodiac Collection by IJA Designs. All of their jewelry is handcrafted in a 100% renewable energy run studio and made with recycled metals.

The artist behind IJA Designs, Erin, is pretty amazing herself! Her inspiration comes from everything in life - her family, Oregon’s beautiful scenery, tattoo art, and “any and all music” rocking in her studio. Her motto: “Beauty radiates within, but a pair of fabulous earrings can’t hurt!” Neither can a fabulous Zodiac necklace! We will definitely be rocking our zodiac sign around all summer long!

Find your Zodiac Necklace here!

DIY: Ombre Cutoffs with Studs

noreply@blogger.com (karyn) — Thu, 14 Jun 2012 04:06:00 +0000

Denim cutoffs are a must have staple item for Summer. With all of the variations of prints, textures, and colors, we are constantly day dreaming about denim. Maybe you've got some old denim that could use a makeover or just want to make your cutoffs stand out... If so, we've got a fun and easy DIY project for you to try.

All you need is love and... scissors, bleach, water, studs, pliers, and denim.

Start with finding the right pair of denim. Either recycle your old cutoffs or start from scratch - I wanted some high-rise mom jeans for a vintage look so I went to Goodwill. They were out of mom jeans so I left with classic black Levi's (only $5!)

Try on the jeans and mark where you want them to be cut. Cut about 1.5"-2" below where you marked - this allows room for error and extra fray. If you're not too savvy with scissors, try using your favorite pair of cutoffs as a guide.

(my cat wanted to help...)

Mix 1:1 bleach and water (I used 2 cups of each). Place the shorts halfway into mixture and walk away for a few hours - I actually forgot about mine all day! When it fades to the color you desire, remove and rinse with water. To neutralize bleach, wash shorts with 1/2 c baking soda (no detergent!) Dry and proceed.

For an edgy rocker look use real metal studs. Metal studs can be hard to find... Lucky me, I had some leftover from my wannabe punk years. Using pliers, I pried some studs off an old belt and it was actually really easy!

Lay the studs on the jeans wherever you want them to go. Poke the prongs on the back of the stud through the denim. Use the pliers again to flatten and secure... and you are done!!!

POLL: Flatforms

noreply@blogger.com (karyn) — Wed, 13 Jun 2012 18:06:00 +0000

Flatforms are this season's new "trend" shoe. What are flatforms? Flatforms are a hybrid of platforms and flats, giving you the best of both worlds! It's like wearing heels without the cripple factor, but you still get that "high" factor. We want to know which flatform style is your favorite.

Which style do you like the best?

Trippin' In Style

noreply@blogger.com (karyn) — Wed, 16 May 2012 20:21:00 +0000

Coachella may have kicked off the summer festival frenzy, but we still have a forest full of mushrooms to pick and an entire season left to tribal dance. Before you go frolicking through the forest, here is some festival footwear advice to help you get your two-step on with Mr. Mojo Risin over there!!

Festival Go-To Shoe #1: The Strappy Sandal
Strappy sandals are my ultimate go-to shoe for summer music festivals, because they are the closest thing to being barefoot! These gladiator style shoes are very jam-dance friendly and also give off that gypsy-nomad look so you will fit right in! Pair with a flowy maxi skirt and a braided hair-do!

Festival Go-To Shoe #2: The Basic Boot

If you prefer to be in the middle of the crowd, jumping around with the rest of the trippin' trolls, you should probably opt for boots... They will protect your dancing toes from getting stomped on and keep your feet clean... or less of a sweaty mess! Keep in mind, showing a little skin is always trendy at festivals... So, show off those stems and pair your boots with cutoffs or a patterned mini dress to get that edgy, rocker look!

Pretty in Pastel

noreply@blogger.com (karyn) — Wed, 09 May 2012 18:43:00 +0000

Mila Kunis in Harper's Bazaar 2012

Light and airy, pastels breathe that pretty, good girl look...

Clash pastels together and give off that edgy, bad girl look...

Pair pastels with platforms, add shiny metal jewelry, and you've got the "good, bad girl" look.
