Ways to Wear: Printed Shorts
Hi there blogosphere! One of the major trends of this summer is shorts. Not just any kind of shorts though, printed shorts, and really more along the lines of interesting shorts in general. There are spiked shorts, leather shorts, glitter shorts, striped shorts, etc. To me it just seems like fashion decided that, "Hey! Why should shirts have all the fun?!" and I totally agree with that! Printed shorts can bring some excitement to a summer wardrobe, and definitely spice it up from the usual plain jean shorts. One thing I must say though, is that pulling off printed shorts can be difficult; with the more complex the print is, usually the harder it is to find something to wear with it. But have no fear my friend, this is where I come in to help! :) Today I decided to put together a set with six different looks utilizing the printed shorts trend. I hope this gives you inspiration to try this trend out on your own!

Long Time, No See & Cold-Weather Accessories (Ways to Wear/My Obsessions Post)
Hi guys, I know it's been forever and a day(which equates to seven months) since I've last posted, but I am finally here again! Man how I have missed blogging, and it feels good to be back! How have you guys been?? This feels so much like one of those moments when you're in the grocery store and you see an old friend that you haven't talked to in ages. :)
Well anyway, enough with the chit-chat. Today's post is about something I would like to consider myself somewhat of an expert on, or at least an educated fan of: scarves. I love scarves and I feel like they can be some of the greatest accessories to add to almost any outfit! And with so many different colors and patterns, scarves are a sure way to express yourself and add a personal touch. Scarves can add a pop of interesting to a bland outfit or be the item to bring the whole outfit together.
A lot of people consider scarves to be a cold-weather accessory, but that my friend, is where they are mistaken! For me scarves aren't something you just throw-on when your neck might be a little chilly, they're something you can where ANYTIME, including in the summer! The trick is to make sure to wear a light-weight scarf so that your chic outfit addition is not making you anymore sweaty than need-be. Another trick for rocking a scarf in the heat is all in the way you wear it. Trust me, if your neck looks like it's being choked by fabric. . .then it probably is! Instead, the scarf should be worn in a way that drapes the clothing nicely, and doesn't have so much of a snug vibe to it.
I thought it be nice to do a little show-and-tell now, so here's a quick snapshot of my collection of scarves. :)
To get everyone started(if you are new to the whole summer scarf idea) here is a set of some more scarves, that I love, and would be perfect to wear, even in the summer's heat! Also, further down below I've chosen three of those scarves and put outfits together with them, to give you some ideas on how to rock this type of look. :)

My Obsessions: Glitter Shoes
Today I have a "My Obessions" post for you guys, on glitter shoes. If any of you have been looking around stores lately, you'll see that glitter heels are EVERYWHERE! In fact, seeing a pair of pinkish glitter booties at Charlotte Russe a few weeks ago, is kind of what sparked this whole thing. I mean, they are just so chic and can add a little glam to any outfit, and plus, what girl doesn't want a little sparkle in her life?!?! :)
So first, here's a couple of pics of the shoes from Charlotte Russe:

| Aren't they just perfect?? Obviously, that was a rhetorical question, because OF COURSE they are!! When I saw them I died and went to glitter heaven! :) |
 |
| Here's a shot of them on a high self. It's like if rainbows and fairies had a baby, then they would only ALMOST produce something this amazing! |
If you would like to purchase these shoes or just look at them some more :) , than you can click the link here and it'll take you to Charlotte Russe's site and straight to the shoes.
Moving on- since this is an obsessions post, I couldn't just leave at that! I've also made a little set showing different ways to wear glittered shoes. The first look is cute and casual, the second, edgy and glam, and the third is girly and chic.
