Style Influences

Style is something magnificent. Something that is different for each and every person. I love that getting dressed every morning is just like it was when I was little. I loved playing dress up then, and I guess you could still call it dress up now, but I still enjoy it just as much. The way someone dresses and portrays their outer appearance shows a lot about them. Wearing certain clothes is a way of expressing yourself. That is my favorite thing about clothes. I see getting dressed every day as more than just getting dressed. I see it as almost an artwork? I guess you could say. Here are a few of my favorite fashion influences.

Lauren Conrad is probably one of my favorite people as far as style goes. She is always so effortless and chic. She knows how to nail a casual outfit with the perfect amount of accessories. I love her style because she wears a lot of bohemian inspired outfits, but keeps it all classic.

Kourtney Kardashian is another one of my favorite style icons. I love all of the Kardashian's style, but I love Kourtney's in particular. She always have an effortless, easy-going style, but she always manages to amp up her style in some sort of way, whether it be killer stilettos or an amazing handbag.

Last, but definitely not least, I have recently stumbled upon an extremely stylish blogger Mariannan - she is from the UK, so I think that automatically gives her an advantage of being high in style. Every outfit that she posts on her blog I am absolutely obsessed with, and I always immediately Google search the stores in which she purchased them from. I imagine her closet to be every girls dream haha.

These girls all hold their own in style. They are all different and unique, but are similar with their chic and classic styles. 

Who are your favorite style icons?

Colors of Fall

So I have been doing my research for the up and coming fall colors for this year, (I know I am a little too excited about fall to come as you may have read in my previous post.) I find that fall fashion can be the most fun. It’s the in-between season of summer and fall so you have many different options. You don’t want to dress in super bright hues, but you don’t want to pull the boring trend of all dark colors of navy and black. (Although all black and navy are great sometimes, don’t be afraid to add other colors to the mix of your wardrobe!)

On to the color trends of Fall 2011..

            Mustard – not everyone will be able to pull this look off, unfortunately, but if  you have the skin tone and complexion to pull this off, do not hesitate!

            

            Rust- A darker shade of what was last year’s It color, (Camel), this more “fall-like” color has been seen all over the runways for the upcoming season!

Camo-inspired – I am sure most southerners will love this trend, but Cameo-inspired patterns have been seen gracing the runway for the upcoming fall 2011 season!

Jade Green – Another popular color seen on the runway was this bold green. This has been stated to be the “go-to party outfit” for this season. (It’s also a great way to stand out in a room of LBDs!)

Bright pants- Although most people get in a rut of wearing only dark colors in the fall and winter months, this trend is a great way to spice your every day outfit up!

I know most of us are still holding on to summer as long as we can, but let’s embrace the fresh and upcoming trends of this fall season!
