Floral And Plaid
This season seems to still be about prints. Although you saw a lot of floral in the summer it is in dead making its way to the fall. Brands and Labels such as Urban outfitters, base their signature garments with flowery prints with a wide variety of color combinations.
As usual plaid is making a splash for fall. You will see it in coats as lining, as design, and attachments. By attachments I mean little "pockets" of plaid on a garment. It gives the garment a more DIY feel and look. Be on the lookout for plaid accessories this fall!
After all who knows what Burberry will do next!

DIY: Cut out dresses
This is the best thing old fashion that i love. Doing it yourself!
My mother always asked me "why do people by things that looks like they've been through hell?" She would always say "why not just do it yourself and save the money."
She was on to something I tell you. So lets get down to business. Cut out dresses have made a splash this season. No matter what length or color or even style. Just grab an old dress, some scissors, and a little creativity. If you have a particular shape feel free to turn the dress inside out and use a chalk marker to trace the shape and cut it out. If you have to draw the shape make sure you use a marker or writing utensil that will not leave a mark and if washer friendly. Something without scent would also be smart. Once you have the shape traced the choice of where to stop or where to put it next it up to you, and your own sense of style and creativity. This step is optional but i suggest that you place the garment under a sewing machine( or sew it by hand) and run a few stitches on the area that has been cut out. This will strengthen the garment and will allow the shape to be durable while going through the rumbles of the washing machine. Once the stitches are secure, you should now wash it and dry it and then you will have your very own DYI cut out dress.
Good Luck,

RiRi on the cover of HB
I recently received my air tight cover of Harper's Bazar and thought this magazine was AMAZING. I don't see what the big issue was. The outfit was sexy, shiny, and conservative. Her make up was so light it look natural. An the edgy sheek straight black hair with the buzzed side was a typical Riri statement.
Why is it that her being apart of something that she lives everyday is wrong? Yes she talked about Chris and their hit song Birthday Cake, but It was most certainly the result of a certain question being asked. The rest of her 3 page section talked about her life in Barbados, her family, and her FASHION influence and her own inspirations.
We all will never forget the whole Chris Brown scandal, but is that really a reason to judge everything they do now? "Life goes on, somethings cannot be taken away, somethings will never be forgotten, but life will go on"

Dressing your age
Being stylish is at times hard to do. Knowing what looks good and what looks good on you are completely different things. Some might like a garment and purchase it but many times it is in fact a nice garment, just not for someone of their age.
Just because you grow older doesn't mean you shouldn't keep track of fashionable things or trend forecasting. People watching is the best thing to do when looking to see what is in style and what people of all age are wearing. I mean after all someone who is 20 should not be wearing something that is for a 70 year old. Dressing your age is what helps you stay fresh and interesting. So if you believe dressing younger or even older you are mistaken. Don't you want to look good?
Yeah know just because you dress it doesn't mean you look it.

Turn down the heat
The summer is the best time to wear your hear natural, wavy, braided, or in ponytails. The one thing that you need to do is protect yourself from the rays of the sun as well as the rays from your flat iron. If you choose to flat iron your hair turn down the heat. As well as decrease the number of times a week and days you flat iron it. Regardless of what kind of hair you have you don't want it to get heat damaged and have to cut it all off.
An are you guys not tired of the smell of burning hair?
If you can't live without your bone straight hair I suggest a perm. Or using heat protectors before you fry your hair.

This summer
The summer is about to things color and hipster. We all are aware of the vibrant pop colors that have been seen on lips. Well also apply those to your nails, toes, and eyes.Also the summer brings beach bombshells and late night walks by the river. The hipster," natural colors that are similar to you skin tone"look is the whats what at the moment. So try some shimmer, use products such as foundation that have a little bit of sunscreen in them. Not only will you have a nice glow, you will be protecting your skin from the rays from the sun.
Fashion Advice: Sandals
Ok we have all seen this, those god awful toes that look like they are suffocating in shoes. Women, you have a problem, especially the ones who love a good shoe at a good price.
Here is my advice, stop lying to yourself and saying your a certain size that you are not. If they do not have the shoe in your size it is not meant to be. Also do you know the dangerous of wearing shoes the wrong size? Not only with you get bunions, it can alter the appearance of your foot, lead to discoloration, and possibly cut off all circulation and lead to fainting. Now that you know please take care off your feet and buy the right size.

What is on that boy's feet?
Now not all men are blessed with great sense of fashion. An the summer prevents them from hiding out in big hoodies, sweats, and smelly boots. So you start to notice a few things--Like their feet!
Note: Having Good Hygiene does not make you "Gay." (Not that there is anything wrong with being homosexual.) And dude it's way more attractive than you might think. I am not telling you to go to the nail salon and get your nails painted, but I am telling you to go get them scrubs, soaked, and those long discolored toe nails cut and filed. (And if you have discoloring checked-- Fungus is not attractive. It worth it for so many reasons, such as chicks dig it, you won't disgust some people when you decide to wear flip flops, and plus they give you a nice foot massage.
Now if you follow my advice you won't regret it. Here's some more advice:

Prom
Alright ladies prom season is over. You've spent tons of hours and lots of money to look your best on that one special night. Now that it is over and school has been out for a while, where is that "one in the million dress you just had to get because it spoke to you in the department store? Hanging up somewhere, tucked away in your closet i bet? well did you ever think about wearing it again? Of course not as if or maybe if that's your thing as is?
Deconstruct Reconstruct....yup grab some scissors and change it up. The top of the dress could make a cute halter or tube. or how about the bottom? depending on the type of dress it could make a poofy 50's skirt or a long maxi skirt.. With a little alterations your prom dress could even become some satin shorts. Maybe even a couple of different things. But your creative side to the challenge and make good use of all the money and time spent on that dress.

So you think you want to be...
Good Morning all,
I wanted to touch base on some fashion tips. This is something I really want people to do-- be themselves. Homework find someone to inspire your fashion. The top people are Marilyn and Jagger for myself. And when i am feeling all vintage I go to Aubrey. I don't want you to necessarily copy their style, but find looks that you can recreate with your own twist. After all that is what fashion is all about...Dare to Be Bold!

The New an Improved Work Shirt
Summer time is the worst time for a man. Now I say this because unlike females they don't have the luxury of summer breezy work appropriate clothing. They have to deal with those long shirts in the heat. An no matter what brand of deodorant they use they still can't seem to keep perspiration from happening. So what is the solution?
It turns out that four MIT student may have the problem solved. They have created a dress shirt out of synthetic knits that are the same materials used in NASA space suits. They used this material because it allows the moisture to be pull into the fabric, making evaporation easier.
The shirts retail price are $100- $130, looking for a gift for your son, father, or man..this might be it and it is so worth every penny.

Studded Shorts
Color Splash
Designers have been juicy this year, especially when it comes to men's wear. They must be tired of those "I'm scared of color" guys. Well I don't know about you but I for one hate speedo's. OMG especially one the wrong type of guy. But trunks are always perfect. It can hide or display your junk, yet allow you to be fashion forward and safe. Now here are a few things i've seen on the runway that I'd very much love to see vs those average joe trunks and terrible speedos. Check them out guys--- Dare To Be Bold!
