Trend Report: Polka Dots

Rana — Wed, 21 Sep 2011 09:59:35 +0000

We are loving the polka dot trend this season! They’re fun to wear and go with almost everything from brights to neutrals to pastels.

Check out a few tips on styling them & take inspiration from the street style pics above:

Big dots can make you look bigger if they are on flowy style blouse but they would look great on petite frames.

Small dots are less funky and more elegant.

Pair them with brights for a fun casual look.

Pair them with neutrals such as powder pink, beaige and pastel colors to give it a more elegant work appropriate look.

What Makes You Angry?

Sharifa — Sun, 18 Sep 2011 07:08:58 +0000

I want to ask you a question. What makes you really angry?
Smelly people? Rude, arrogant people? Crowded elevators, or when the barista gets your coffee order mixed up because what is so complicated about a skinny, soy milk, double shot, no cream, no foam latte!
Everyone has this one thing that makes them angry, nervous or just makes them ridiculously sad. It is not drama it is just this thing they cannot tolerate. I for instance do not like it when people put me on hold, or tell me something then change their alibi, or when people argue with you because they THINK their always right, or really I could go on….I do not like people shouting, arguing around me or snappy people who for some reason have an attitude problem ….and I must say I do not like people that smell bad it makes me nauseous. (Yes I am aware that comment made me sound like a complete spoiled brat).
Everyone has that pet peeve so embrace it…Yes, embrace other people’s pet peeve. I do not mean encourage it but when they do flip suddenly and you are wondering if you killed their dog or something, do not get mad at them, or give them a hard time about it, it’s a weakness they are working on to hide, but honestly, they cannot help it sometimes. Neither can you, because we all have that one little thing, do not hide it, do not pretend you’re so amazing and you are not a drama queen and you’re as cold as ice ( Men this goes out to you as well ).
If you do something shady or sketchy or if a friend of yours gets angry because they think you did… Just apologize really; it would make life so much simpler. Forget the whole, NO I WILL NOT SAY SORRY, really it does not matter if your mother is the Queen of the Baltic Sea Islands saying sorry does not make you less of a person. Saying sorry would sometimes make life so much easier for all of us!
And if you do this, stop getting mad at people for caring about you, and if you’re rude to them because you occasionally feel like it. It’s not cool. You think their always going to be there for you and they are going to tolerate you. THEIR NOT.
Just love…and be loved
So dear readers tell us what makes you really angry and how do you deal? May teach us a lesson or two …

Hair Trend: Get Bangin’

Rana — Wed, 14 Sep 2011 11:00:52 +0000

The easiest way to change up your hairstyle without playing with the length is to give yourself a bang. This season bangs are thick blunt and fall right above your eye, they’re very 70′s yes but in a good way think Twiggy and Bridgit Bardoux. They’re bold unlike the sweet side swept bang and they intensify your eye.

We have to warn you they’re not the easiest to maintain since your going to have to flat iron them regularly. Make sure to use serum before and a light hair spray after to keep them in place.

How to wear the 70′s Flared Jeans

Rana — Tue, 13 Sep 2011 09:05:32 +0000

For the past year the 70′s have been really trying to make a comeback in fashion specifically the flared jeans (definition: Jeans that are narrow all the way down to the knee with a wider flared out leg). Flared jeans do wonders for your body, they add height and create an instant slim illusion. The only problem with them is that its hard to pull off the look with looking like you stepped out of the 70′s show or makes you a Charlie’s Angel look alike.

Here are a couple of tips to help you rock your flares in a modern stylish way:

Pair it with a silky blouse to add a feminine pulled together look. (avoid peasant tops)
Button ups and a blazer give your flares a perfect polished look to take you anywhere.
A wide belt is a great way to go when you’re tucking a top inside your jeans, it adds a fun addition to your outfit.
