Accessories: The Classic Traditional Look

Hello Fashion viewers!

Today's Topic is specifically about accessories, because as women, we simply cannot live without them! They are really what makes your outfit "pop', so to speak, and they show the originality that you put in to get (your ) look. A lot of times we can overdo what we choose to have as our accessories. Simple is always better! Your accessories should do nothing more than accent your look, not take away from it. I am going to express some of the "Dos and Don'ts" on accessories and what may look the best depending on your hairstyle choices and attire.

Of course, we all love putting our hair up sometimes. Maybe a classy ponytail, high bun, or even the trendy new french braids that are becoming very popular! Whatever your choice of updo, the chandelier earring or drop earring are the perfect style to wear with this. These particular styles tend to accent your face very well, and they give your outfit the additional “glam” it may be lacking. They can make even the simplest dress look gorgeous!

Now the absolute best look, when it comes to long, gorgeous, flowing hair, is the classic hoop earring or classic stud. Thick hoops are always a great option, possibly outlined with diamonds, or a cute design. In my opinion, simple and thin hoops give a flimsy and cheap look, especially the really large ones. These should not be worn when trying to achieve a chic and glamorous look. As for studs, these are the most amazing and versatile style of earring! They can be worn with anything and there are so many different styles.

One of the most important things you need to pay close attention to when choosing accessories, is which look will accent your outfit the best. It could be the traditional set of the “necklace & earring” or the more modern look of your choice in bracelets and earrings, whatever you prefer is up to you, but you absolutely should never wear all three together. This is when “overdoing” it comes into play.

I know it can be a little tough when deciding what jewelry looks best, but try some of these tips and I'm sure they will help out a lot! Remember simple is always better when it comes to your options. Comment and tell me how it works for you!

Hello my weekly Fashion readers!

Having issues with damaged or complicated hair? Maybe trouble with not having enough time to get ready in the mornings? Are you becoming fed up with your hair? If any of these questions apply to you, I have the perfect solution! In this weeks blog I am going to talk to you about the hottest trend currently in today’s fashion: the Sock Bun.

Recently the “Sock Bun” has become a very trendy and innovative styling technique among women of all ages, not just soccer moms and ballerinas, looking for a quick and easy way to have a classy and clean look, or even gorgeous curls! It works well in all lengths of hair as well as any texture, and can be done in a matter of minutes. For me personally, I am not a person that loves washing their hair everyday, so I may choose to wash my hair one day, wear the sock bun allowing it to air dry, sleep in it overnight as well, then take it out and rock the glorious curls the next morning!  An eHow Contributor tells us:

Hair buns are beautiful, classic and easy hairstyles that have a long and distinct history. Buns are as beautiful today as they were when it was considered socially correct for only matrons to wear them, and they've lost much of the prim stigma they used to have. A bun can be worn for any occasion. (eHow Style)

Buns are a perfect style for a nice outing, a professional conference, or even going to work out with friends! Place your hair in a high ponytail, slip the hair through the center of the rolled sock, then roll down until the bun meets the crown of the head. The instructions are simple and it looks  flawless. This look is suitable for anyone who chooses to wear it.

Here is a tutorial showing the instructions further in depth. Good Luck!

Heels, Heels, and More Heels!

Hello my fellow Fashionistas!    

I’m talking to you this week about the latest trends on heels ladies, and which are the most comfortable! We all love to get a little dressed up when going out for a night in the town with the girls or clubbing, maybe even a nice date with the [hubby], but we can never decide what shoes to wear that won't [hinder] us from enjoying our outings. We all love our gorgeous heels for making our legs look good but Christian Louboutin said it best, “high heels are pleasure with pain!”.

In today's blog I'm going to tell you a little about which choices are best when deciding what heels you are going to wear. If you plan on wearing something cute and Chic for a formal gathering that involves a lot of movement, try the Platform Heel. Studies have shown that, because the heel and toe are both elevated, it causes less stress and tension on the arch of your foot! This also goes for the Wedge heel. The Wedge Heel has become a trendy choice of shoe worn by many, because it's style is a great accent to any attire: formal or casual.

To conclude, if you are the type of lady that loves to rock the Stiletto/Pump regardless of the pain here's how you can make your walk a lot easier, try insoles and the split toe socks! These are a great way to give your feet a more comfortable feel while elevated. Slip toe socks will stop your feet from rubbing against the insides of your shoes, saving your feet from horrible blisters! These can be found at any retail stores near you and they come at very low price, but if you are not the heel wearing type, there are always other options for cute shoes you can wear with your outfit. I hope that the information I've given to you will help you in your future outfit choices! I want you all to try these tips out and comment how they worked for you!
