Good Morning lovelies!!~*
It's a beautiful tuesday morning despite repeated reports of rain...boo on you weatherman! lol.
I once read this article that in order to maintain a healthy balance between your bank account and your closet, you must eventually choose your fashion style as you get older.
valid point i guess.
It's like finding a career, once you get older, you must choose a path in which you want to continue on. It makes sense, right!?
I think that partially that's true. When you're young you go through stages, much like I, in order to find your true style. Half the fun of discovering the person you are is through trials and errors, much like your fashion style. Afterall, didn't someone say 'You are what you wear'..lol. Obviously someone is lacking some self-esteem there...
Like i previously mentioned, I tried different styles in my younger days, from the cowboy boots to the preppy look and even the 90s grunge look that just made me look somewhat homeless lol. I know, what was i thinking!? I explored the many fashion fads and classic looks of my youth, which is essentially when you should experiment anyways! So now I've started to settle into my look, abit more polished and feminine. The only problem with me is that I still bounce around from time to time, and that can be costly! There is more than one way to change your fashion, not only in the pieces you wear but also in how you accessorize...It's amazing how accessories like jewelry, handbags or even shoes can change a whole outfit like it's brand new again!
I am still in the process of figuring out what works for me, as I haven't quite given up on the process! lol. Maybe once I hit 30, I will have a look that's comfortable for me. My only advice when finding your look or even shopping is to try and find more classic pieces that will last for more than one season or trend. It will end up saving you lots of $$$!!
as always, Happy Shopping!~*

trend alert! weaves on a shoppers' budget!~*

outfit of the day::
fave fashion accessory of the day/moment::
Happy Easter lovely dollies!~*
Spring has been upon us for about two weeks now! Once the rain dissepates, the sun is sure to bring out the beauties with the fashion trends for spring and summer 2010! I have yet to see a change into warmer weather but I'm sure it'll come soon! <3
One trend that I have definitely fallen head over heels for is the woven accessories. It goes oh-so-well with the crisp white babydoll lace and cotton dresses that are sure to pop up everywhere during summer!
* luvs it! * ~*
Okay so here is a woven belt that just came out now on the Marciano website:
Ellisiana Braided Belt $88.00 (cdn)
This darling belt is a perfect spring/summer accessory to any neutral/crisp white outfit that you rock this upcoming season! It gives off that earthy contrast to the light colours of spring! I luv luv luv the braided effect of the belt itself, sort of like one of those wicker bags that do look so adorable during the summer months!
For the thrifty shopper, fear not! Not everything will cost an arm and a leg this spring/summer! If you're one to accessorize on a budget, here are 3 options that I have found courtesy of Forever 21 that are at fabulous prices that won't break the bank!

The first is the double buckle belt $7.80(CDN) - It has sort of a crochet style band that goes around the waist with a deeper coloured buckle. The crochet is reminiscent of the crochet style bags and shoes of spring!
The second, which I recently bought but in the brown (which for some reason isn't available online anymore) Jennie Woven belt $10.80(CDN). This is a super cute belt (which I have yet to wear) that I think would pair perfectly with my spring wardrobe an transition into summer. It is so rustic, not polish or clean, it's earthy toned and also has the braided band around the belt that is similar to the woven accessories for this season.
The next one is more if you want a pop of colour. Since most of the colours I have shown are in earthy browns and blacks and cream colours, I thought I'd show one with a pop of a bright tone to set a beautiful contrast that can transition wonderfully from daytime dress to nightime wear! I love the chic casualness of the braided belt mixed in with the two toned laces.
The Woven Laces belt $9.80(CDN) - interwoven two colours, comes in red and cream or blue and cream. Luv luv! It gives off the unusual pop of colour that sets it apart from the usual pastels and neutrals.
These belts that I have chosen (courtesy of Forever 21 Canada website) are eye pleasers that don't break the budget! In the fashion world, the trends are ever-changing. It doesn't hurt to invest once in awhile in some timeless classic pieces, but there's nothing wrong with a trendy yet inexpensive item to accessorize the season's look!
Happy shopping!~*

A big DASH of insipiration in my life of fashion!~*
beats:: Nothin' on you - B.O.B. ft. bruno mars
outfit of the day:: Bluenotes Plaid BF rollup shirt (crazy about 'em!), AE Jeans and Aldo 'ugg' type boots =)
fave fashion accessory of the day/moment:: my old navy fleece zip up =) cooooozy!
Cloud and gloom...ugh.
Gotta look at the brighter side of things....it's only thursday BUT, it's a long weekend! *YAY!* It's the first in a long 3 months of winter with no long weekend breaks. I am just thankful we finally get a stat day =)
Moving on from the weather report...lol.
In recent months I've been going through celebrities that I admire for their great fashion sense for some fashion inspiration. No one is in the public eye more than a celebrity, no matter for what reason, and therefore no one works harder to look good everyday, all day! I find that instead of always looking at fashion mags like Vogue and Harper's, if I want to find fashion that I can relate to and is more the everyday look to inspire me, where better than pics of celebs doing the everyday stuff, like errands and going to and fro sets. Even mags like People or US Weekly can show celebs in the most unflattering light, but in some instances, even the most ridiculous stories have pictures of celebrities in their most fashionable everday selves.
Today however, I am proud to name a first of few ladies that inspire my fashion sense, Ms. Kim Kardashian.
From her rise to fame with her scandalous tape, to her reality show and her retail stores 'DASH' in Calabasas and Miami, she is one fashion pro! In every pic she's in, whether it's news about her breakup with her bf Reggie Bush or the paparazzi snapping pics of her entering her Miami store 'DASH' she's always looked her best and nothing less. Great job, Kim! I luv luv lulv her fashion style, but Kim Kardashian is one truly unique lady.
I am proud to be inspired by not only her keen sense of fashion but also just by being proud of herself and who she is. Instead of dyeing her hair in all sorts of crazy blonde and brown colours (except for the one momentary lapse when she dyed it blonde..what were you thinking!?), instad opting to stay true to her natural hair, black. I too, have dyed my hair lots of different colours, but in the end au naturel has always been the way to go. I also admire her for the fact that she refuses to be a skinny waif in the midst of all the supermodels on the cover of magazines. As she has mentioned in one interview, that she likes to eat and just wants to get toned. Me too! She inspires women to be proud and happy for their curves and that stick thin is just not healthy.
I always consider myself a blank canvas for fashion, I like soaking up new inspiration for my own road to discovery of my fashion sense. I am always a work in progress =) Kim Kardashian is just another muse to add to my fashion inspirations!
