3 Fall Necessary Accessories!

     Adorn your wrist with a flashy two toned watch this season.  As we are well aware, the stacking of bracelets and watches has become a statement in modern day fashion.  The more the better!  It's easy to mix and match when you have a watch that's in both the silver and gold family.  Watches are no longer made just to tell time.  Pshh, that's old school.  Michael Kors watches are one of my favorites because they are affordable and very fashion forward.  There are so many different shapes and sizes of two toned watches out there so, take your pick.  These pieces are timeless, no pun intended, they have been in style for ages and have yet to timeout, yes pun intended.



















     On those bitter Fall mornings wrap yourself up with a knit scarf.  Scarves have been a trend for a while, especially the knit ones.  To be honest, it's quite simple why they are worn by so many women.  Because they are versatile and almost always appropriate.  I know, I know, I'm not telling you something you don't already know, especially if you are fashion savvy.  But, I do want to tell you that the graphic scarves will be in this Fall, in full swing.  But so will those solid colorful ones.

   


















     OK, so my mom hates them and I love them...head ties.  I don't know if they are taking place of a hat, probably not because there is nothing warm about them, but they are being hated by some and loved by many.  As I was strolling down the streets of the Big Apple, I noticed that these head ties are worn in such a variety of ways.  Generally, with your hair down, they create a nest like shape on top of your head and it's kinda fabulous, when worn right.  I've seen thick ones, thin ones, beaded ones and more.  Depending on the shape of your head, I feel like they can be pretty fun to play with.  Try it out!





















Go get em'!

Faith In Fashion!

     Be proud to show your faith!  A popular trend that is on the rise consists of wearing accessories and/or garments with religious symbols on them.  Designers have taken this trend to the next level by decorating each and every item with a fashionable twist.  For example, I have seen cross necklaces with rhinestones, beading, spikes, feathers and more creative eye attracting decorations.  Forever 21 has a wide variety of all different religious items, check them out online or in your local store!

Be proud of your faith!

Fly Away!


        Feather extensions are a huge craze this summer.  Everyone from Selena Gomez to Steven Tyler have a few bird feathers in their hair.  These extensions come in multiple colors, shapes and sizes.  You can buy single feathers, allowing you to group them as you please or you can buy clusters of predesigned feathers.  Feather extensions can be easily applied and easily removed, you can blow dry, curl, and straighten them and you can wash and brush them with no problems.  These funky feathers are a great way to add a little burst of color to your summer style!






Spread your wings!

Cuffed!

        Armbands are totally cool this summer.  The great thing about this accessory is that you can wear it as a casual item or a dressy one.  For instance, if you are at the beach throw one on and complete the California girl look or if you are going out to dinner wear one that matches your maxi dress and side clipped curled hair.  Armbands come in many shapes, sizes and materials.  Below are just a few examples of in style armbands.



Don’t get caught!

Get With It!

       Summer is finally here and it is time to start dressing like it.  Here are some great fashion tips, feel free to mix and match!

Giddy Up
            Saddle up because country western is back.  Graphic tees, leather goods, metal charms, feathered accessories, native patterns they are all popular this season.  Think simplicity with a spark!

Funky Fringe
            Talk about statement piece.  Let your hair down, your wild side out and flow loosely in the wind with your funky fringe.  Front, back and side-to-side.














Tangled Knit
            Although torn up sweaters don’t seem to make much sense they are thriving in the fashion world.  Layering is the best way to use these garments.  Whether you are covering up your bathing suit or heading out on the town, tattered knits are the way to go.  Vintage, easy and eye catching.













Let your colors show!
