Teen Girls Winter Fashion: Grunge

Hey Girls! This post is for you laid back girls that don't think they have a style and just throw different pieces together. Guess what! That is a style. It's called Grunge and it is personally my favourite fashion style because it's so effortless, but still fashionable.

 

 

PS. None of the products I am going to mention are expensive products. They should be products you already have in your closet or can get at any local store for cheap! Just play around. Also, Grunge is dark. Pick one coloured item and base your dark clothes around it.

I am not going to go through all the pictures! I will give you guys 3 basic grunge looks because there is only so much you can do with grunge.

Outfit 1: This is one of my favourites because it's so easy and looks amazing on anyone. Start with a Graphic T. Don't have one? Go check your brothers closet! Or Value Village, they have them for really cheap. Add skinny black jeans or black leggings. For more of a grunge look add combat boots since it's winter! Throw on any dark winter jacket and that's outfit one. Add a beanie if you want to go all grunged out.

Outfit 2: You want to wear shorts in the winter time? This is for you. Grab your favourite jean shorts, put on some dark tights, grab your biker boots and an oversized plaid shirt. Plaid is a staple piece for grunge as much as the dark look is

Outfit 3: Start with any colour ripped jeans, pair it with those biker boots (another staple piece) Graphic T and a leather jacket.

Hey! As long as you follow 3 simple things: Oversized, plaid, dark 
you should be doing fine! Have fun with this style because it's not a style that needs to be perfect that's why grunge :)
Celebrities that rock the grunge: Taylor Momsen, Kylie Jenner and Mary-Kate Olsen

Hope you enjoyed! Stay Fabulous!

Winter Fashion: Styling Teen Boys for Winter

It's finally the winter season and this is the first post of many to this years winter fashion 2013-2014! The weather is becoming colder depending where you live and for women I think it is a lot easier for them to dress stylish for the warm weather where as, men just throw on a jacket and walk out the door. How about I show you guys that it can take you the same amount of time to put together a fashionable outfit as it does for you to throw on any ugly jacket. Let's get started!

Just a reminder, these pictures are from the runway and are very exaggerated! These tips are to make these looks more wearable for those nonfashionable teens out there!

ALWAYS start with the basics
1. Pick your jeans

Example: Classic in blue

 

 

2. Basic white or black T-Shirt

Example: Black T

3. Depending on how cold it is outside that day add a fancy sweater

Any sweater helps brighten any boring outfit and you just throw it on!

Example: # 2

 

4. Add a pair of winter boots

Example: #1 in Black or #4

5. Finally add any winter jacket that can be viewed in the first photo on top

Example: Jacket first model is wearing

 

See guys! Picking an outfit for winter that keeps you warm, but still looking good is so easy! Just five steps and I put together a pretty stylish everyday outfit. You don't have to look like a man model to wear a fashionable outfit. Fashion it easy when you start with the basics!

 

Stay Fabulous!

5 Day Outfit Look Book for Female Teens

Welcome Back! It's been a couple weeks, but we are right back in it. This will be my last post for Fall trends of 2013 and I will start posting teen fashion for the Winter trends.
This post is for those girls that don't know exactly what they want to wear each day! Now look in your closet and see what you have similar to these images. The style icon here is Vanessa Hudgens. I picked her because she is a HUGE fashion icon for teens all over the world and she has AMAZING style. (Fashion must have for Fall-Winter Knitted Sweaters!)

I did not put days of the week because quite frankly I did not want you to assume that you could only wear the outfit that day! These outfits are ones that Vanessa has been scene in during the time of Fall and they are simple to recreate. (from Left to Right)

Outfit 1: Grab a nice loose shirt, preferably your favourite one with skinny jeans to pair or if you'd like a more casual look grab some long leggings. Pair it with a foe-leather jacket and nice coloured flats. This look works for the days you don't want to think too much about your outfit and you just want to get out of the house, but still look like you put effort into it.

Outfit 2: This outfit is great for those cooler lazy days and one of my go to outfits. Start with a plain camisole any colour because no one will really see it. Grab a warm comfy, oversized, knitted sweaters and pair it with dark wash skinny jeans. Grab your favourite pair of boots, either Ugg style boots or leather boots, your choice!

Outfit 3: This outfit is more fancy for those who want to look a little more done up, but still casual. Your favourite fall dress (nothing with bright colours) pair it with black tights to keep your legs warm. Add any style jacket does not have to be leather, and pair with your boots. (If you're going for a leather jacket like the picture it is better to pair it with leather boots just to keep the outfit flowing sorry V.)

Outfit 4: For the warmer days. Grab a graphic T pair with jeans or leggings and wear a pair of boots or flats. Also if it's a bit cool out, throw on a neutral zip up sweater.

Outfit 5: This is when it starts to become a lot colder out. A simple T-shirt and a cozy knitted sweater, paired with jeans to keep you warm, warm foe-fur boots and a cute hat to go with it. The coffee is optional!

That's the 5 day look book based on Vanessa's style! Hope you enjoyed and blog you next week!

Stay Fabulous <3

5 Day Outfit Look Book for Males

Hey all you men out there! Do you guys ever have that "what am I going to wear" problem? I'm sure it's even more difficult when decided it at 7:00 am. Hopefully this blog post will help those guys out there struggling with picking out their outfit during the week. These 5 looks are all casual and easy to put together with stuff you already have in your closet because I know how much you boys love to go shopping.
These outfits are all based on the picture at the top if you are looking for an image to look at when getting an idea. Ps. All shoes will be shown below.

Monday: We want this day to be more casual than the rest because everyone knows how difficult it is to get out of bed early after a nice weekend of sleeping in. I've gone with an easy style that still looks like you could have spent more time than you did. Start with a simple white T and add your favourite pull over sweater on top. On the bottom go for you favourite pair of jeans and you favourite sneakers and that's the look! The reason I say pick your favourite items is because when you feel comfortable and you love what you're wearing, it will make the miserable Monday go by faster!

Tuesday: In the picture, the model has a classic, nice, jean shirt with a thick jacket, but if it's not too cold outside you can wear a light sports jacket instead. For jeans we've got a nice black jean to even out the colours because blue jean on blue jean is just too much, but hey! If you fancy that, go for it. For the shoes I would go for a nice brown oxford shoe, very classy.

Wednesday: This is another hard day because it's the middle of the week and you're almost at the weekend so this look will be simple as well. Like Monday start with a white or black T and top it with a nice Polo sweater. Keeps you warm and still looking good. Go for a simple jean, the model has a light wash jean, but any colour will do and end it with either a Boat Shoe or Desert Boot.

Thursday: This is a more dressy look than the rest, but still casual enough to wear to school. Start with a collard shirt and put on a light cardigan sweater, try to stay away from black and white...those are too plain! Have fun with it. Put on a nice pair of jeans and finish it off with a casual boot.

Friday: Last day of the week and I know you are dying to get to the weekend so another truly simple one! Throw on your favourite T, with a fancy zip up sweater that comfortable, but also looks stylish. End it with a nice blue jean and pick one of the shoes already mentioned! Be creative, I can't dress you all the time! It's Friday make a joke of it. Remember fashion is supposed to be fun and new so go with the flow without looking too out of place!

 Until next time! Stay Fabulous!

Runway Trends for Fall (Women)

Hey all! I've been researching the fashion trends for fall and it's been super exciting! It is amazing seeing all of the new trends coming out this season. I want to get into the trends that I think are going to be very popular for the season of fall, but before I get to that I just want you girls to know that if I post a picture of the runway models please do not think that what they are wearing is the exact style trend that will be in stores. The runways are very exaggerated and made to make a statement. The clothing that will be in stores is a more wearable style for the consumers because obviously no one is going to go out looking like these models and if you do...Good on you! Confidence is a must!

Let's get to it!

 

This pallet has the trendy fall colours that you will be seeing on clothing in the stores for the season of fall! Aren't they gorgeous? All these colours are pretty neutral or wearable with anything in your closet. None of these colours are super bright and they definitely go with any skin tone. Army Green is a very popular colour for this fall as you might see in the below pictures and is probably my favourite colour trend this season! Remember anyone can wear anything, as long as you have the attitude to go with it!

 

Now for the clothes! The first style trend that is very popular on the runways is:

 

1. Suiting and Blazers!



The blazer is very cute and a has a more polished affect when adding it to your outfit. It keeps you looking casual yet put together in an easy way and all it takes is putting it on and walking out the door! The suits a coming back girls! Don't be afraid though, they are becoming a lot more laid back and fashionable so you don't feel like a man while wearing them! Just keep the suit classy, but simple by adding a fun heel and a fitted top!

2. Slits

Slits in dresses are very fun and gives off a sexy, free vibe. Though the leg is showing the dress is still classy and beautiful. It makes the guys look without showing them everything! Keep it a secret, nobody likes trashy!

3. Mixing Textures
There are a lot of mixing textures on the runway like leather mixing with fur or wool. Now this style is a love or hate trend and it depends on how you style it. This will definitely be a hard one to get in your wardrobe, but don't be afraid if this trend is not for you! You don't have to like everything, but try it, that never hurts!

 

 

4. Fur

Number three led into the fourth and final trend which is fur! This trend has been seen everywhere on the runways and is super classy! It is super easy to style fur weather it's a jacket, hat or just mittens and a scarf, but don't go overboard on fur! Having too much might just make you look like the "animal" it came from! (Hopefully none of you are buying real fur...Power to the Animals!)

 

Hope you all loved this week's post and it gave some of you ideas as to how you're going to dress this fall! Tune in next week for more!

Stay Fabulous!

Fall Style for Men (basics)

Fall Style for men: Basics

Hey guys, and when I say guys I mean guys! Let's talk about your fashion now! The one thing about guys fashion is that it's AMAZING! This is mainly because they wear whatever they want and even though it may not flow, they still rock it. I would say men's fashion is a difficult area to write about because it is nothing like women's mainly because, women are very keen on dressing stylish and want to keep up with the trends of the seasons. Men on the other hand would rather just put a T-shirt and jeans on and walk out the door. Hopefully, this post will help some men try to find some style in their wardrobe and impress that special lady! Here we go!

Let's start with the jeans:
Baggy Jeans- The baggy look for men is long gone! Get a belt and make sure it doesn't look like you took a dump in them and now you're trying to hold them up...It's not a good look and no one wants to see the undergarments you've got going on there! NOT CUTE
Skinny Jeans- Looking around and doing a lot of research I have found that skinny jeans are now a man's best friend. Now, just because they are called skinny jeans, does not mean they need to be all up in your business! A nice loose skinny jean is the way to go, making it still masculine and comfortable.

 

 

 

 

As for shirts:

T-Shirts- These will always be in, but it's the way you style them that wont be. Just wearing a t-shirt with jeans will not be acceptable anymore boys! Layer it up it since it is fall! for example, put a nice grey cardigan sweater over top of a plan white T and automatically you look very classy! So easy!

For another look, the trench coat is definitely making it's way into men's fashion creating the sophisticated look. Now, this is a style of love or hate. Some men might love it and some might hate it! It's all depending on what you feel comfortable wearing! There are the long trench coats, but to keep it wearable wherever you are, keep the trench short. A short black trench coat still gives off the sophisticated look, but is still comfortable and doesn't make such a big statement!

For the casual skater boy, I will keep it simple, a nice fitted sweater over top of a t-shirt is still in and very stylish. Just stay away from the bagginess because it's sooo long gone!

 

Formal:

Keep it classy! A nice fitted blazer with loose skinny dress pants is the way to go this fall! Also, for a bit of spunk, add a bow tie instead of a long tie. To make a small statement put some colour underneath the blazer, like a blue shirt or get a coloured tie! SIMPLE

 

 

 

Shoes:

Shoes are more of a preference thing, and really what ever style you choose to wear, match the shoes to it! For example,

Casual style- Try some converses, super in style and go with just about anything. Also, another choice, if you're feeling edgy, go for the combat boot or just plain boots!

Formal Style- Stick with the dressy shoes, it just doesn't make sense without them! 

 

 

Thanks for reading this weeks addition! Stay Fabulous!

Do's and Don'ts for the Fall

Styles for Females

It's fall which means new trends are coming in and old trends are going out. A lot of people can probably agree that moving from summer to fall can be difficult when trying to pick out the first fall outfit and how to wear your hair in order to get noticed by the hot guy. No one wants to go to the mall and buy a whole new fall wardrobe especially if you're a student and have no money! What if there was a way to bring your summer clothing into fall? Yeah? Well, there is a way! There are summer trends that are moving right into fall so, bring out the staple summer pieces that are hiding in your closest and find out which old fall trends are sticking around! 

 



Do's

•  Braided hair (this cute classic hairstyle may never go out of style because well, it's a simple look that can be worn with anything)
• Bold Eyebrows (This style is being seen everywhere from Actress Lily Collins to famous model Cara Delevingne. They are funky and they make a great statement !)
• Naturally Tousled Hair (Who doesn't like the Victoria's Secret model hair look? Yeah that's what I thought! Beautiful, big, curly hair is the way to go when trying to get that boy's attention)
• Classic Prints (Always look classy with the right prints when picking out that nice top! Just remember not to go too overboard on the print, keep it simple but classy)
• Nude Polish (Another classic choice and something that also will never go out of style. Nude prints make a simple statement, but also keep the attention on the outfit rather than the bright colour on your nails!)
• Crimped Hair (If you don't want to do for the big curly hair, stick to something simple, but still styling! Crimping your hair can add that spunk into an outfit and it looks like you spent a lot of time planning yourself for the day)
• Crop Tops (Crop tops are super cute! Glad they're transitioning into fall! These are very nice staple piece that can bring out the best parts of you if worn right!)
• Layering (Always layer! This has been a pretty staple trend all year and it doesn't stop with summer! Layer those cute sweaters onto the crop tops and an army jacket on top! so cute)

Those are just some of the in trends that are making their way from summer to fall! Now lets talk about those out trends that no one wants to see because they're sooo last season! There aren't a lot, but some worth mentioning:

Don'ts

• Big Blowouts (Thank goodness this is not a trend anymore! People actually did this on purpose...)
• Super Plucked Eyebrows (Girl! Put those tweezers away and fill in those eyebrows! We want to see them beautiful thick eyebrows)
• Reversed Ombre hair (This was never a good decision, just look at that picture...Who thought of that?) 
• Bright Nail Polish (This is still a great look so don't throw out those pretty colours yet, but summer is gone and we are getting into the cooler times, keep those nails nude!)
• Candy Coloured Hair Extensions (Uhmm...Do I have to say something about this or can we just forget it ever happened? Done.)

Those are the do's and don'ts when bringing those summer trends into fall! Hope you all enjoyed it and keep being Fabulous! Mauh!
