Militant Beauty

Attention all women! If you don’t own anything in your closet that is military inspired, you must fall in line! Although every photo posted here is from the Marc Jacobs Spring Ready-to-wear collection, you can also find this trend at Forever 21, Zara, H&M and more. Gold buttons, short blazers with exaggerated collars, long  form fitting trench coats with embellishments are all pieces that will help you accomplish the look of a glamorous military fashion fairy. Does every piece have to be army green? No, not at all. In fact creating this look can be created with one special piece. Cinch your waist with a bold double breasted blazer and baggy jeans or trousers. We all have our own battles in life, we may as well kill the negative vibes in style.

Clean and Chic

Clean,chic,pretty business is a great representation of the Marissa Webb Pre Fall 2015 collection. Not only should styling yourself become a lot easier, your pockets should also become a lot heavier.  Well that’s if you’re a cash carrying gal but you get what I’m trying to say. Looking forward when it comes to fashion will always save you money. There’s no need to invest in 5-second trends when you’re looking to have a style with a lasting impression. Cropped blazers have become my new “thing’. They’re easier to use as a layering piece without making yourself feel or look puffy or tight. A sheer blouse is a finishing touch, you can even choose to wear one with a pussybow, whatever fits your style is great. The vest in the picture above is darling and perfect to wear during the transitional time. You know like a warm day with a bit of a breeze? Trousers are a staple that can be styled in several ways. You can find an affordable pair at Walmart, Forever 21, Express, Zara, H&M, and a few other stores. Since black trousers are easy to come by, its great to make them apart of your daily wardrobe, you can style them up or down. Marissa Webb styled them up in this instance. You can also find stylish coats like those in her collection by racking up during the winter sale this season and holding onto them until next fall. Shop for hues that can be used for several seasons like great, black, army green, and ox blood. Here’s more photos of my favorite looks from the Marissa Webb Pre-Fall Collection. Enjoy.

In My Dungarees

Are you in search of something new? Original? Far from safe and fashion all at once? Well my friends, the answer to ones wonders are simply a pair of denim overalls. Yes, I’m sure the last time I wore a pair was 5th or 6th grade. We all know that things come back from our past in fashion. The only rule is to avoid the force. The force would be considered as garments that you won’t loosen your grip of. This look could go wrong if you try to squeeze into a old pair of overalls from your childhood. The idea is to reuse the great things from out fashion past while adding details that would make them “now”. For example, these particular overalls are different in the back. The straps are lower than the original pair. I didn’t want to look like I needed a ride for grade school so I added one of my favorite blazers and of course my white wedges and a turban to make my hair day easy.

Switch that, Mix it Up, and Wear it Again

Hi there! Have you ever found your self in a phase when you wear your favorite piece again and again? Well that was definitely me last week. I kept pairing thing up with my polka dot blazer. Most people say you shouldn’t wear things with such a noticeable print or pattern again and again or people would say “ugh she has that on again!” But if they had such cool pieces, they would do the same. So don’t be ashamed to wear things again! Just make sure the second round is better than the first 😉
