Tribal Clothing

So I originally didn't think I liked this whole Indian/African inspired look that is happening "on the scene" right now, but what do you know, I love it now. It was so unexpected to me at first, but then once I learned how to wear it correctly, I was inspired. Right down to the jewelry, the theme is very catchy. It has a sorta boho feel to it that is care free and can be a little edgy believe it or not. Nicole Richie-Queen of this look (in my opinion)- is edgy, yet carries a whole I don't care hippie look. As a style icon of our century, people should take notes on fashion from her. Well with that said, I am going to buy a pair of frilly, suede sandals to add to my collection of shoes. Ta Ta!

Sunglasses

Sunglasses. What a practical yet wonderful accessory. I mean the bigger they get, the better they get right? I mean that seems to be the common liking throughout history. Well, I guess we can thank Jackie-O for them. I mean I just LOVE sunglasses. I wish I could wear them all the time. However, I would be one of those people who are walking around INSIDE and still have their sunglasses on. Oh did I mention that may be my worst pet peeve. I think that it is so dumb AND RUDE to wear sunglasses inside where you are likely to make eye contact with people. Anywho, enough said on that topic. I really don't have much to say about the actual sunglasses except that I think they are wonderful. I just bought a pair from Boris and Natasha the other day I LOVE them. They are huge, white sunglasses. I feel so out of the sixties when I wear them. I love it! And since sixties mod is my favorite fashion times, it makes me love them even more. Now for those reading, if you don't have the face for huge sunglasses, make sure you know it. There isn't anything worse then looking like an idiot in a pair of sunglasses that look hideous on you. There are so many different types for all face frames, and the good new is...they all look good! That's the fabulous thing about them-there are some for everyone, and you can bet they jazz up an outfit pretty effectively. OK so if there is one thing I hoped to get across, I hope it was that I love sunglasses and I think that they are one (if not THE) best accessory around.

My Epiphany!!

So I have always thought of my style as eclectic. Therefore, when I was asked who my favorite designer was I often found myself not having an answer for the question. I was more or less forced to do a presentation on my "favorite" designer and as I racked my brain of who I wanted to do...it suddenly came to me! MARC JACOBS. The epitome of everything I love. In fact i have never not liked anything by Marc Jacobs. The use of colors that uses-colorful but yet subtle and toned down- is so me. I mean I guess of you were to name most worn colors you would find a lot of black, gray, brown and navy. Not to say I don't love color, it's just that bright, poppy colors aren't for me. However, Marc Jacobs somehow always makes colors inviting to me. He has a way of taking street styles and giving then a high fashion feel to them. If there is one way to sum up my style at all, it would be compfy chic...EXACTLY what I feel embodies Marc Jacobs-Proud to say...my favorite designer.

Christian Siriano for Payless

OMG OMG OMG!!! I never really pay that much attention to Project Runway ( I know I know, shame on me). However, I think that is going to have to change because after seeing what Season 4's winner has produced I am speechless. In Fall 2009 Christian Siriano will open a new, affordable shoe line for Payless. I am so excited because as a victim of this poor economy I am finding myself in a hard place-meaning I can't afford my favorite shoes anymore!! ahhhhh. Well thanks to Christian I moght be able to after all. His shoes are beautiful, with a rocker edge. So my stlyle. And what's best is, he makes them for the poor folk such as myself. Oh Fall 2009 couldn't come any sooner (except I LOVE the summer hehe).

I looooooove HUGE rings!

When it comes to rings, I say "the bigger, the better!" There is nothing more funky and expressive than a huge cocktail ring on well, any finger. They have been around for ages and will continue to do so. I don't know if this is just an opinion that I got from my 92 year old grandma (who still wears big, chunky cocktail rings). If you have a plain outfit that you may want to keep simple, but-like me, you just can't be all the way simple, adding a cocktail ring can be just the right amount of "umf" you need to jazz up your outfit. One lady I think always has beautiful rings is Kate Hudson. Next time you see her in an interview, check out her fingers! I'm serious, my guess is she'll have a huge, chunky ring on one of them, and of course I want ALL of them.
I know everyone is not into huge rings, and they like simple, elegant jewelry, but those who are can share my love for these gigantic rings. I just got a new one the other day, and I love it! It is a huge cream colored stud with gold clasps. If I find a pic on the internet like it I will post it.

nailpolish

If you are able to keep up with polishing your nails every other day then I say do it! I love the way nails look when they freshly painted. They can add so much to your personality. Just by using a certain color you can express your mood at the time. personally right now I am into the black nail polish. However, spring is coming and I am looking forward to tapping in to the fun, bright colors of the season. Pink, yellow and a neutral beige or white are just a few colors that will be big this spring. Also-on a side note, nail length is so important. I think that right above or at the tip of your finger is perfect. It's practical and looks neat. OPI has great nailpolish and if you're looking for quality with a descent price I suggest going to Sally's. Sally's has so many different colors all of which are affordable and durable.
Oh, and as for your toenails, be as crazy as you want. I may never wear an electric green or purple on my finger nails, but with your toenails, feel free to do whatever you want!

Clutch Wallets

I just recently bought a new clutch wallet and I love it! It's exactly what I have wanting. it is thin, compact and available in so many different styles. The best thing about these is that if you are going out with your friends, you don't have to take out a huge purse, because these can be used as an accessory! Now, you can't expect to use this as your full times wallet if you usually keep a check book in your wallet. These aren't meant for loading up a bunch of "junk" however, it is good for your basic credit cards, id and some change. SO if you are a person that likes to go out and hates to carry a big, bulky purse I highly recommend you get a clutch wallet. Seriously, they are a huge convenience.
