Loving the Flowers

Floral is one of my many favorite ways to make winter seem just a little warmer. Wearing flowers makes me feel happier than normal and they are so cute! Headbands or jackets with little flowers on them are adorable. Jason Wu made this amazing shirt, it has little, individual flowers and leaves. Just be sure to wear a tank under it and a jacket over it.
This tank has tons of texture with the material that the shirt is made of. The flowers on it also are sewn on, not painted on it.

Floral prints also make the dark gray skies of winter seem bearable. Winter is such a pretty and delicate season and I love it when we mimic it, but add spring and summer time accents. Warm, fuzzy sweaters with leggings and ankle boots. Winter is also the perfect time to break out your softest, fuzziest blanket, slippers, PJ's or robe. We can all look like fashionable, warm elderly people with a perfect excuse.

So, stay warm, stay pretty, and stay floral!

Try not to blow it

So, you got money and gift cards for Christmas. What could be better? Now how are you going to spent it? My first thought is to spend spend spend, but that is NOT a good idea. Why you may ask. The spring line is coming out, so, yes, maybe you could get something, but it would be best to wait for all the spring lines to come out to pick your favorite. Don't go spending your money now, you just got presents! If you can't resist (I don't think I can) just spend half at one store, go to another and spend half of another gift card.

Lacey Girls

Lace is one of my favorite fabrics, only one problem, I'm not sure if it is a fabric or not. Well, aside from that, lace is amazing. I love that it is so light and airy and delicate, but can also add a little stylish vintage to an extremely boring outfit. There are so many designs that lace comes in; flowery, tablecloth (a design I would highly not recommend), and retro or vintage. This may not seem like a lot, but have you ever tried to make lace, neither have I. I'd rather just buy it from the fabric store nearby instead of weaving it myself, I'm sure you all feel the same way.
Lace is pretty hard to sew with though, it isn't like cotton, it's like a silk but it doesn't slip or slide like silk. You have to sew a couple times over to make sure that you actually got it on the back skirt.

Hoot Hoot

Owls are our new favorite accessory, they are so cute and tiny and we love them. Stores sell owl rings, necklaces, wallets, purses, and shirts. An owl necklace is truly fashionable, they are cute enough for daytime and hip enough at night. Owl peices are vintage and fresh, who knew that was even possible! On one of the very many plus sides of the owl accessory, owls generally have the reputation for wisdom, and who couldn't use wisdom in their daily life? No one, thought so! Ha ha, just kidding, these adorable little trend setters won't make you smarter (but you just never know, right), but they do have the "power" to make a white T-shirt and cute jeans way stylish.

I love these three peices, especially the ring, too cute. The only problem is that it would look kind of funny once it got on my finger. Underneath, is an owl ring and a wallet with the little bird-models. This wallet is to die for, I love it so much, it is so cute! The three little multicolored birds look so sweet! I wish I had it, but I don't. This ring is also very chic and vintage. I love the big gem in the center and the different colored feathers. We can't forget the home of these fantastic accessories, the tree. I love little silver trees, they match anything and everything.

Hollister

Although I hate their name brand shirts and jackets that have hollister written across them I love their sweaters and jeans. The sweaters are very nice and cute. The one to the right has little bows which I adore. The thing I wonder is who came up with the name I mean seriously hammerland! These are bows. I also love the classic floral print, keeping you warm and fashionable! What could be better!

Their jeans have perfect fit. Sometimes too much fit if you get to skinny of jeans, but besides that great jeans! But sometimes way tight on your wallet, so wait for a sale on them (I got some for $12, that's cheaper than Kohl's jeans!)

Top 5 Nail Polish Colors for Winter

SSaSy Chic.com has made their list of the top 5 Nail Polish Colors for Winter list and here it is on FTT:

5. Black

But instead of being their chic little robots, let's make our own trends, how about white to match the snow!

4. Emerald

And instead of emerald, let's go with it's generic cousin green, or even to mess with their bland color scheme, how about neon or really bright green!

3.Navy

As for this fella, let's substitute it with purple or yellow.

2. Dark Ruby

Instead of dark ruby let's wear blood red, regular red works too.

1. Metallics

Now, we all love metallics, but silver and gold are way too normal for you guys, let's all pull together and wear a shiny light blue or bronze, no one has those colors, SSaSy Chic.com says so.

Thank you for going against SSaSy Chic.com's ways and saying no to the boring and bland nail polishs.

Forever21

Forever21 is a fabulous place to get cheap clothes. They have everything and anything a girl can want. Now I sound like an advertisement here but seriously their stuff is sooo cute! I mean look at this Fab Sequin Pocket Top it is just a plain jane top with an awesome fake pocket that is shinny/sequined sooooo cool! Next to it is this dress with little buttons on the shoulder and a thin brown belt. For the winter some black leggings for warmth.

This skirt couldn't be better for a first impression of good fashion. Add some heals and you are good for the night! A Haiti helping bracelet to a white tee and your outfit has just poped without you even trying!

Ruffle it Up

I love ruffles, they are so much fun to wear and to play with when I get bored. These fashion designers totally know what they are doing when they designate a whole line of clothes to ruffles. Ruffles flatter so many body shapes, from petites to pears, you will all love ruffles!

With ruffles, you can have so many different designs and prints and shapes that you don't know what to do with them!

I love the shirt to the right, Malene Birger who designed it is a genius, no one thinks of putting ruffles on the sleeves! I just hate the buttons, though. This shirt is totally different and unique! I also love it when the ruffles are edged with black, it adds texture and originality to the garment.

Dat's Tights

I love fall/winter styles because all ton of stores sell leggings, not only to keep your legs warm (because they usually don't) but to add a little style to your outfits. They used to only sell black, white, biege, gray, and brown, with very little difference in anything about them. Well, now they have lace for those who like to rock the vintage look.

And neon colors for everyone who wants to let their inner child run loose for the day! So when you get up in the morning, don't waste time debating on whether you should or shouldn't wear those bright green leggings with your little black dress, just make sure your shoes match the leggings!

Emma Watson

Emma Watson started out as the frizzy-haired Hermione in the first of the Harry Potter series, which she has just finished filming. Now she is off at the Brown University in Rhode Island starting her second year, recently she celebrated her nineteenth birthday on the campus. What she was most excited about was that the party didn’t get out to the public until after it happened. After she finished the Harry Potter series she chopped off most of her hair. We were shocked at first, but after we got over that, it’s a really cute cut for her. She has started her own clothes line, although she is very good at designing, she doesn’t want to keep it as a career. We want to know how the business is going, what it is called, and how long she has been designing for. Her parents are lawyers and got a divorced when she was just ten years old. Although they were separated, they still pushed her to go out of her comfort zone, something most girls her age didn’t do. Emma has been the cover story for Marie-Claire magazine recently. She has also become one of the highest paid teenage actresses. That is Emma Watson for you!

One Gift Not to Give

When you ask a relative or a friend what they want for Christmas, you don't usually hear them raving over a Peekaru. That's right, take one look at the picture below and try to convince me that that lady didn't cut a hole in her blue shirt and stuff her child in it.Who doesn't want their baby wearing the same shirt as them, or with them? It's the Snuggie for infants and a torture contraption for mom. Why go on a walk with your child stuck in a stroller, just stick your baby in your shirt. Let's face it, moms want to be closer with their babies. But this is a little overboard.

Well, happy chirstmas or hannaka or kwanza (I hope I spelled right), and a merry new year!

Unwearable Fashion

This is a sort of cool poncho, what makes it even cooler is that the model wearing it is smiling. Look at the model grin on her face that improves the whole outfit! Love to the heels, but how did she get those ten foot legs. Oh right, she's a model. The only problem with this outfit is that no one would actually wear it in real life. Runways are just like algebra, no one uses the stuff in real life.

Same thing goes with this outfit. Jacket: cute

Dress: I found something like that in my grandma's bag that made it's way to Goodwill Hat: Looks like a UFO Shoes: Love them!

I would only wear parts of this outfit, and other parts I would use to as test fabric to see if my sewing machine could handle the uglieness.

Bye for now! ♥☺☺☺♥

Women of the 50's and 60's

In school this week we had to do a presentation about anything that happened in the '50s and '60s. Naturally, I did a presentation on fashion and then changed it to fashion trend setters of the '50s and '60s.

The first woman: Audrey Hepburn. Audrey was an iconic Academy Award-winning actress, fashion model and humanitarian. With her boyish body, pixie haircut and swan neck she complemented everything she wore.

A talented performer, Audrey Hepburn was known for her beauty, elegance, and grace. She remains one of Hollywood's greatest style icons.

I did Coco Chanel even though she was before that time I still made it count. In 1954 her comeback restored her to the first ranks of haute couture. Her natural, casual clothing including the Chanel suit and purses once again caught the eye of women.

Jackie Kennedy was American royalty, charming the world during the early '60s as the young, glamorous, dignified, style-setting wife of President John F. Kennedy.

She didn't wear her jewelry every day, only when the occasion really called for it. She was known for her Black turtlenecks, Jack Rogers sandals, and big oversized sunglasses.

In the mid '60s at 16, Twiggy became internationally known as the world's first supermodel, her photographic modeling success amazed everyone. Twiggy became the idol for millions of teenage girls of the sixties revolution.

By the age of 17, Twiggy was one of the most famous faces on the planet. With her skinny figure, boyish haircut and striking eyelashes, she would be the figure of the '60s.

Men of the 50's and 60's

Pierre Cardin along with Courreges, was known for his "space age" styling. Born in Italy but relocated to Paris, he was also famous for hoop dresses, asymmetrical styles and collarless jackets for men.










In 1967 Ralph started a tie store, which grew to a now thriving Ralph Lauren clothes company.





Because of the immense popularity of the Beatles, there haircut was widely imitated worldwide between 1964 and 1966. Mikhail Safonov wrote in 2003 that in the Brezhnev-dominated Soviet Union, mimicking the Beatles hairstyle was seen as extremely rebellious. Young people were called "hairies" by their elders, and some were arrested and forced to have their hair cut in police stations.




In the early Beatle years, the Beatles would occasionally wear black, and then later grey, Edwardian collarless suits. This style of suit was adopted from the Mod youth cult, then at its peak in the UK. These suits became extremely common for new bands to wear after 1964.




James Dean was an actor who showed the restless spirit of American youth in the 1950s and quickly became a fashion icon. He wore the T-shirt and jeans that would become fashion icons for young people.

The Runway

Today, I discovered that the runway exaggerates the newest trends, they aren't saying,"Hey, people of the earth, this is what you should were all the time." So that's why there are women strutting down the catwalk in so many vintage clothes that you'ld think they were playing dress up in grandma's closet with the clothes she'd wore when she was fifteen just before they were shoved into the lime light of the runway during Fashion Week.

Runway shows are mostly to show off the designers latest trend and to give others inspiration to create a new trend. Because I've certainly never seen anything like these. ---> ---> ---> ---> --->

Sorry, their eyes are way messed up in this picture, they don't really look like zombies (or do they? O_O(kidding)).
