What, Where, and Why?
Have you ever done something and wonder what is the purpose of it? What am I going to gain from it? I know I have and for the past few years I neglected something that I love to do. Expressing myself through all forms of art. I stopped styling people, and giving advice and helpful tips to those who are deemed fashion deprived. I stopped expressing my creativity in the way I dress and showcasing it on my blog, or Instagram post. But why? That's the real question isn't it?
I guess I buried myself into my school work and finally got myself a job in the fashion industry. But those would just be excuses. The real reason is because I LOST, lost my way, lost my gift, lost my motivation. But I am back and I am here to stay. I will be updating my blog possibly creating a new one to showcase all the things I've learned in these past two years. I have no goals and visions for what I want fashion to be. YES! What I want fashion to be because after all it is what you make it.
Stay tuned to see what I come up with and I promise you won't be disappointed.

Top 5 Hairstyles: For Fall
Now that the summer is dying down, have you notice what has happened to your hair? I have some tips for you as well as the Top 5 hairstyles for the fall! Enjoy!

Tips: Go and get a full treatment. If your hair is colored- touch it up. I suggest you have your hair deep conditioned to give it a healthier look. And lastly, a nice trim can give it back some body it lost from all those beach wave curls.
Top 5 hairstyle.
Cutting it into layers can be a way to discard any damage hair. This look shapes your face and makes your hair more playful without losing to much of it.
Adding bangs, keeps its sophisticated and well put together. Yet it is a lazy style, very effortless.
Twist, have been almost romantic. Throwing a few twist in an already wavy mane creates a flirtatious flow to the hair.
Hair jewels are not just for little girls. Going back to the Victorian ages braid your hair into two messy braids and throw on a nice jeweled headband is an awesome touch.

DIY: Distressed Studded Shorts
Hey all,
As you know I went on a Do It Yourself free for all. The latest creation I have made is transforming a pair of old jeans into high waisted ripped and studded shorts. If you like this look follow the steps below to accomplish this garment.
Just a heads up so you know you are going to need a pair of old, strong, and thick jeans. As well as stronh scissors, needle & thread, a patch of leather, and studs. FYI: You can find a pair of good old jeans in a thrift store for really cheap. I got mines for like two bucks.
Step 1: Cut the pants to the length you feel most comfortable with.
Step 2: Make tiny insertions on the area you want to represent the rip. Note: You do not want your slots to be too thick or too thin, because this is whats going to determine the size of the ripped patch. If the slots are to tiny then the fabric will break creating a hole. If it is too thick it will leave a section of rip making it look less original/normal.
Step 3: Once all the insertions have been made and you have come to a point where you feel there are enough you can pop it in the washer. Once you wash it, place it in the dryer for 20 minutes. Note: Be sure to keep an eye on your shorts because jeans tend to shrink fast in the dryer. Also dry the jeans on LOW vs high.
Step 4: Your jeans should be ripped and distressed if their are any pieces you don't like you can snip away any parts you want. Now you can cut the back pocket in half. Make sure to cut on a diagonal to mimic the look of my shorts. Note: Make sure to leave the bottom half of the pocket on and cut off the top.
Step 5: Use the reminder of the pocket as a guide to attach the leather too.
Step 6: This step depends on the type of studs you have. I got mines at a fabric store for 10 for $1 I have about 50 studs on these shorts. These studs have little tabs in the back making hammering them into the fabric enough to keep them secure. Once you have all your studs placed in the design of your choice the look is accomplished.
Final thoughts-- I added a layer inside of my the pocket (on the inside) to create a cushion so that you don't hurt your butt when you go to sit down.
Hope you find this helpful and Enjoy.

Alexander McQueen Fall/Winter
Winter wonderland. The show starts off and emerges from small to big. Nothing but feathers and furs. The color scheme of white, red, and silver. The beginning of the collection has silver bow like belts that I believe then they showcase silver flower belts. In the middle some of the white pieces appear to either have some sheer because you do see skin. Towards the end the dresses are full fur or feathers, I enjoyed the really big pieces they were fun and outrages which is always a good combination. Many people feel that this line may be to f eminent,Check it out below!

Peplum
Word on the street is Peplum,
This cute little trend has been seen in so many of the retail stores I shop at but it has also made a great deal of appearances on people. As we all know street fashion is where we can trend hunt. But it is also where we see some things we wished we had not. Lets get down to business. In a perfect world all trends are for everyone and everybody type. But we don't live in a perfect world so I just want to give you guys some advice. If you are busty you have to go about the peplum trend accordingly. If you want to wear it in the shirt look, do get the size a little bigger. This will make the shirt appear a little longer drawing more attention to your hips. Also the peplum skirt vs dress might be a better match for you. Because you can wear a top that gives you a little more room or a showcase some of that sexy cleavage you have.
Secondly if your body type is a bit larger or wider in the hip or thighs area. This trend will draw a whole lot of attention to the bottom area. It will make it appear bigger than it is. If this is something that does not bother you then go for it. But if you want to hide them a little I suggest getting a peplum dress that has a sheer top half and a solid bottom. This will draw attention to your racks and then the eyes will work their way down.
Note: The peplum goes best with a boyish body type and a small bust body type. Mainly because it can create hips/ shape for them.
