Ballet Flats

Wednesday, November 28th, 2007 by Carrie Welch

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….

Charming

Monday, October 22nd, 2007 by Carrie Welch

I am seeing an amazing sort of charming necklaces available right now and I’m loving it!   

For instance, this charm necklace would be a beautiful soft touch to a lace blouse and skirt or a t-shirt and some jeans.   

This nautical charm necklace added to a pair of cuff crop jeans and a scoop neck top make for a very stylin’ look. 

Even earings are adding a little charm to thier style. 

How about this antique looking necklace?  I picture it with a chiffon blouse that has a lightly ruffled collar and sleeves with a slim cut pair of jeans and some ankle boots.  Hot!

For more of this charming accessory…..

The Trench Coat

Friday, October 12th, 2007 by Carrie Welch

  What a wonderful thing the trench coat.  Trench coats began as a military raincoat in the early 1900’s and has been a mainstay in fashion consistently throughout the years.  They are very versitile because of the removable lining and the length gives you added protection from wind and rain.  

  Although, the best part is that they are very fashionable!  They were first made in gabardine fabric and now you can find one in anything from fur to satin.  Greta Garbo and Elizabeth Taylor look stunning in these two different styles.       

  They are back in stores this fall and they are beautiful…. 

Wet Seal has a Pewter Rhinestone Buckle Trench Coat

You can find a more traditional looking Twill Double Breasted Trench Coat at rampage.com

How about this red one from Topshop they call We Can’t Live Without?  

This Satin trenchcoat from BananaRepublic.com would be a nice addition to a prom dress on a chilly evening. 

There is a trench coat out there for any occasion. 

So if you enjoy the trench coat like I do….

Happy Shopping!          

           

   

Rain Rain Go Away

Tuesday, October 9th, 2007 by Carrie Welch

Well, that’s how the rhyme goes….

But I beg to differ.

The beautiful rain only brings us more fashion opportunities. 

For example…. 

Start off with a bright pair of citrus city rainboots then add a button detail empire dress.  Next, try donning this diagonal rib beanie.  A yellow gradual bead necklace paired with a green bead necklace and a big yellow ruched tote bag completes the look quite nicely.

That’s just one combination of the multitude of outfits that can come of some rain and a great pair of rainboots

There are lots of styles and colors out there to brighten a rainy day so……

Happy Shopping!

Fun With Hats

Thursday, August 30th, 2007 by Carrie Welch

 I don’t know about you, but……………….

I love to wear hats!!!!  

Like all accessories, they can add that special pop….especially when your having a bad hair day.  We’ve all had those days.  

Although, hats can become more to your wardrobe than just a “bad hair day” savior.   A hat can give instant style to your simple jeans and t-shirt look.  Take these looks for example….

Stlylish and comfy at the same time.  Awesome!                

If you are feeling a little country,  all you need is a cowboy hat and you’re good to go.

Want to dress up your Sunday’s best?

Put on that hat!

There are many ways to dress up your wardrobe with a hat, or any accessory.  That is part of the beauty of fashion.  So go through your closet and let those hats see the light of day.  You’ll be glad you did. 

Have Fun! 

                  

Don’t Despair

Sunday, August 19th, 2007 by Carrie Welch

School uniforms…….yuck!

A lot of you out there may being thinking that exact statement, but don’t despair.  Even if your school has uniforms you can still add your own personal style to them.  How?

Accessories…….Accessories…….Accessories!!!!

You may be thinking…. blue skirt and a white top…..boring.  How about some knee high socks that  have every color under the sun on them?  Those socks look awesome with  baby doll shoes.  A set of pink jewelry would add a sweet touch too.  Picture a long necklace or two, multiple braclets and pair of sparkling earings. 

Not into a bunch of jewelry?  A big green belt and a big yellow and green flower in your hair is a softer way of personalizing any outfit.  Even just a brightly colored purse can add that touch of you.

So, when you head out to the stores for that plain uniform……remember shopping for accessories to make that outfit uniquely yours will be a lot of fun.     

Happy Shopping!

The New Paris

Thursday, July 5th, 2007 by Carrie Welch

paris_hilton.jpg

She says she was mostly reading the Bible while in jail. She says she’s matured and giving up her party days.

Well, I’m not sure if I believe her or not, but she is dressing the part so far.

The outfit Paris is wearing in the picture above is quite a bit more modest than we are used to seeing her strut her stuff in. The nude blouse with lace paried with the soft makeup and smooth, lightly wavy hair give the feeling of comfort and sweetness. Which is a major difference from the pitures you’ll find when you do a search on her name.

Wether she is dressed to kill, showing more than I’d like to see, or she is stylin’ with class, she definetly has great fashion sence.

I will give her that.
Although, I do hope we continue to see her sport some class.
