Green is Back...I Think

Hi everyone, I'm back from my quick little vacay to D.C. , so I'm here and happy to blog again! So guys, I just wanna make note, that you heard this here first: the color green seems to be back, after it's long hiatus in Fashion-Faux-Pas-Land. Honestly, I think many of us swore out green, after the whole army fatigues trend, of the early 2000's, was over, but now I think green has finally gotten another chance into our closets! I have recently noticed a few more green items, than usual, popping up around stores and in some fashion designers' collections. And, although, I wouldn't say green is just showing up everywhere, and becoming a huge trend, it seems to me, that to even see green at all(except on enviormental t-shirts, on St. Patrick's Day, and last year when the military trend was in, and olive green was showing up), is a big jump from what it's been in recent years. So, the point of this post is to say, that, although green has been almost non-existent for a while, I expect, that within in the next few fashion seasons, green will make a come back.

In lieu of the color green, here's a pic of Kate Middleton sporting a green Diane Von Furstenberg dress.

Smooches, My Dear ;)

Hi, guys! Today, I have a little Polyvore set for you all. I thought of the outfits last night(well, really, last morning) when I was about to go to sleep, and today I had the mission of finding the right pieces on Polyvore, so that I would have something to show you guys. I really do love these two outfits and I would definitely wear them both. Hope this will inspire your wardrobe! Enjoy!

Blushing for Bodycon: How to Wear a Bodycon Skirt

Today's post is all about bodycon skirts. I just love the bodycon trend, which is becoming extremely popular, and I feel like a bodycon skirt is a great piece to add to your wardrobe. They are perfect for parties, or for a night out, and always add a little fun to an outfit.

I made a Polyvore set showing three different outfits with three different bodycon skirts, so you all can get some ideas on how to rock this trend.

Hello, Classic, It's Time to Have a Little Fun-OOTD

Today I have an outfit post. I wore this outfit a few days ago. I just put on the top, and I looked over to my chair(Yeah, I'm kinda messy, and by kinda-I mean very. Most of the clothes I wear are sitting around somewhere in my room.) and then saw the skirt, and I instantly realized how perfect they would look together. It was great, because I had been trying to think of different ways to wear the skirt, so I could incorporate it into my wardrobe more often. This outfit was just a one of those wonderful things, that just fall into place on their own, almost like it was fate. :)

Top- Ross, Skirt-JcPenney's, Shoes(Not Shown in This Picture)- Rack Room Shoes??(not a 100% sure, but I think so)

I just love how I look in all of these pictures, I feel so girly and pretty.  :)

The skirt is actually a little longer than this, but I had to stand up on my tip-toes, so that the sink wasn't blocking the bottom of the skirt.


Excuse my ugly feet, and that amazingly cool gadget of an automatic hand-soap dispenser.  ;)

These are my trusty shoes, I practically live in them.

These last few photos my shirt is tucked in. I just tried it out to see how it looked, and it turns out, I like it that way much better. It helps to cinch in my waist to create an hourglass shape.

I love this pic of me, definitely a favorite.  :D





On a final note, I'd just like to say, rest in peace, to the great British singer Amy Winehouse. It's unfortunate that she died so young. She will be greatly missed. In her memory, Vevo has a play-list of some of her songs, the link is here. Also, if you want more information on her death here's a link, the last six or so posts are about her death. And here, is another good article to read on her.
