Lots of Fun!

June 23rd, 2008, 3:18 pm by Carrie Welch

With the beautiful rain we received today comes more fashion opportunities and lots of fun! 

How about some awesome bright rainboots and even brighter umbrella? 

Check it out—-

Aren’t they AWESOME!  You could pair these with jeans and a shirt or be a bit more bold and match them with a cute skirt or dress.

This dress would do a GREAT job!  The blue in the dress would bring out that color in the rainboots and keep the bright yellow umbrella calm.  Stylin’ and lots of fun!

Fur

January 8th, 2008, 5:43 pm by Carrie Welch

I know the Valley doesn’t have enough cold weather to really warrant a fur coat, faux or real, but I love them and think they are a lot of fun.  They are the kind of coat that get you so happy when it’s finally cold enough to wear. 

You can have fun and be daring with the chunky style and a bold skirt to match.  Or emit elagance in the more smooth shiny style with an evening dress. 

Click here for some great examples from celebs….  instyle.com

You could possibly find one at a great price since spring is right around the corner and so is spring fashion.  If you happen to see one that catches your eye, I don’t think it would be a bad idea to buy that fashion fun and save it for a cold day.

Happy Shopping! 

Change It Up

December 3rd, 2007, 12:16 pm by Carrie Welch

When it comes to fashion, a lot of people tend to stick to the same “theme” of clothing.  Your style may be considered preppy, country, punk, etc.  Well, don’t let those stereotypes keep you from expanding your wardrobe repertoire.  If you are out shopping and you see an awesome skirt that looks a little punky, but you normally dress “preppy” don’t let that stop you.  I say get that punky skirt and have fun!  Fashion is like music in this respect.  You can like all kinds of music so why not all kinds of clothes?

Ballet Flats

I’m lovin’ ballet flats!  To be frank, I didn’t think the style would last this long but I’m glad it has.   

There are lots of different styles and colors available which makes them very fun and versatile.  You can use them with jeans, slacks, dresses or skirts. 

Check these out….

Don’t Let The Bed Bugs Bite

November 12th, 2007, 9:27 pm by Carrie Welch

Target has some very comfy and fun looking “pj’s” for fall.

It can be easy to overlook sleepwear when talking about fashion, but there are some quite fashionable “pj’s” in stores today.

Super cute cow jumping over the moon pajamas.

Warm and cuddly panda print pajamas.

The trendy cherry print pajamas are also available. 

Sleepwear is a chance to express your silly side.  So the next time you are out there shopping for some pajama’s, remember they are fashion too.

Happy Shopping!

    

Playing Dress Up

November 8th, 2007, 10:18 pm by Carrie Welch

It’s amazing what designers can do when encouraged to play with fashion.

Today during China Fashion Week in Beijing, designers displayed their brilliant creativity and impressive skill for the Colorful Cosmetic Design Contest.

Take a look….

It’s refreshing to see the fashion industry supporting play.  This can lead to an inspiration that brings the next “Hot” fashion. 

It reminds me of when I would play dress up as a child.  Too much makeup and a big fluffy boa.  There’s not as much skill in sneaking in Mom’s closet, so it’s nice to see grown up skill engaged in grown up play.  I hope to see more of these encouraging contests.

I’m inspired to head to my closet.

Happy Playing!

Chilly

October 23rd, 2007, 7:38 pm by Carrie Welch

This little bit of chilly weather we have been graced with is a welcome surprise. 

Just thinking about the extra wardrobe capabilities makes me smile.  Your long sleeve shirts and boots.   Maybe even a light sweater or jacket you’ve been wanting to wear.  It’s like you have a whole new wardrobe at your fingertips. 

It probably won’t last very long so enjoy it while it’s here and….

What Do I Feel Like Today?

October 17th, 2007, 9:03 pm by Carrie Welch

A wonderful thing about fashion is how it helps express how you’re feeling. 

You may wake up tomorrow morning and feel like wearing a nice dress.  The next day you may feel like wearing jeans and a T-shirt.  Sometimes you may even feel like wearing sweats.  Maybe some skulls with bows sound good to you.  You may even pick out what you want to wear the night before and change your mind because you don’t feel like it that day.

So when you’re standing infront of your closet wondering what to wear and you find yourself  asking  “What do I feel like today?”….

Smile, embrace it and try something new.  Mix and match some outfits and don’t forget to add some accessories for some extra flare.  You just may find you have a bit more bounce in  your step.

Happy Shopping!
