Sweater Weather

September 18. 2013
                                              long, cropped, fuzzy, wool, knit and warm!

 

 

 

what am I talking about?! sweaters of course! the days are getting shorter and the weather much cooler but what is there to keep us warm besides hot chocolate?! Sweaters! I love love love sweater weather! I have an entire drawer full of sweaters waiting to be worn, I get so excited when I can finally put that drawer to use each year ! I have few cropped sweaters as I feel they are much better worn oversized and long! I adore when they are long enough to wear with leggings and a trusty pair of riding boots. I honestly believe that that is the classic look for fall that I always gravitate towards for sure! for instance here are some prime examples:

 

 

 

  This particular style is impeccable and exactly what I was talking about, see ladies? that's how its done ! But you don't always have to do that type of look ! In fact there are a couple other ways to style sweaters , like so :

 

The left photo is such an adorable and chic way to class up a sweater/ legging look and although I'm very against bright colors in the fall I've got to say that the left option is pretty cute and a great alternative for anyone who doesn't want to follow the rules! total BA;)

 

 

But if you want to follow the color rule but still want to spice up the look go ahead and have some fun with printed leggings! I mean, how cute!? a perfect mix between wild yet tame lol !

A Nail of a Good Time !

September 18, 2013

Nails can say so much!!

what kind of colors you like or what type of person you are!

Painting your nails is a great way to spice up a look or to pull together an outfit, but you must know that there are certain colors for every season that are key.

In the summer people are more likely to wear bright colors such as neon yellows, pinks, blues and oranges or more glitter.

In the spring you'll find people gravitate more towards pastels like greens yellows or purples.

But in the fall and winter (my personal fav seasons) we get to go bold & daring with a good ole classic ox blood or deep plum. As I am typing this I am wearing Essie's wicked on my nails, its a lovely deep reddish purple that makes me feel bold yet cozy

So.. why is it so important to wear the right colors for each season? and believe me it is . well, because like I said earlier it helps to complete an outfit, research shows that more people tend to wear darker more rustic or deep colors during the winter a fall months so why would you wear a burgundy sweater with bright yellow or blue nails? you wouldn't. it is important so that you don't look like an uncoordinated mess. honestly though anyone who doesn't really care much for fashion (outrageous) probably wouldn't notice much less care. but if you don't want to have to paint your nails a different color for each outfit go with something neutral like a beige or taupe that way you don't don't have to change your nails so often, but what fun is that ? ;) none! And if you feel that these colors are just ever so boring feel free to add a sparkly or patterned accent nail (ring finger) to spice up the look ! so, have fun playing with these colors this coming season!
