Mullet Skirts!

     Summertime is slowly coming to an end so lets make sure that you all get a chance to wear your summer favorites one more time!  My personal favorite is the mullet dress or skirt.  It's stylish, versatile, feminine and keeps you cool on those hot days.  The length of the dress or skirt is a personal preference, some prefer long tails and others short.  This loose simple style looks great with either a plain or patterned top and belts are a great accessory to accent your waist.  Take a look at how these girls have mastered the mullet!






Short or long?

Shorts Time People!

     Well, we all know SUMMER is just around the corner.  That means it is time to start shedding that dull, drab, dark winter wardrobe.  Finally time for shorts...yes, my favorite.  A current fad that seems to be trending are high waisted shorts.  They came in last year and seem to be overpowering for this upcoming season.  They have been spotted in many different styles.  Some appear to be tattered and torn, others dyed and simple.  Oh and how could I forget the ever so trendy...STUDS.  Suggestion, when sizing up for a good pair of high waisted shorts make sure the waistband sits just above your hips, this way tends to be more comfortable and looks better.  Below are a few shorts that are appearing in fashion gurus closets. Take a look...









Nothing is ever too much!

Academy Awards Fashion!

   These actresses began searching for their dresses months before the Academy Awards.  They have private consults with top designers to make sure they get exactly what they are looking for.  Every actress is different and their dresses are how they express it.  Hair and makeup plays a huge role in how the entire outfit looks together.  Some actresses prefer to go with a more modern style and extreme makeup and others prefer a vintage style with a more natural makeup look.  Let's see who did it best!

Exotic Spring Break Fashions!

     I'm sure you are all well aware that SPRING BREAK is coming up quite soon for college kids and it is time to begin planning those exotic outfits.  Whether you are going to Punta Cana, Cancun, Panama City or Acapulco you are going to need to pack your shorts, dresses and tiny bikinis.  This SPRING BREAK is all about color.  We just went through this crazy "winter" (if thats what you call 40 degree weather in the middle of January) and it is time to add some spice to your outfits.


Royal blues seem to be trending this season.  They have been appearing in tops, dresses, pants and shorts; so choose wisely!





Fire engine red is exploding this season.  This color screams attention and if worn properly it can be quite sexy.  Paired with denim this color is hot!





Magenta, my personal favorite and one of the most popular resort colors this season.  This color brings so much excitement to the table.  It's also easy to mix and match with!







All of these colors can be mixed, matched and worn together!  Since these colors are LOUD don't let that discourage you from wearing them.  Go enjoy yourself, have a wonderful SPRING BREAK and wear your colors with pride!

Don't forget sunscreen!

Orange & Tangerines

     According to Pantone Institute one of the most popular colors of spring 2012 is Tangerine Tango.  This was a common trend spotting on the runway from almost every designer from Michael Kors to Max Azria.  If this isn't your lucky color of choice then there is no need to worry because there are plenty more orange hues to go around.  Orange is a loud color and it makes a statement; surely it will set you apart from the rest...so jump out and try it!  Personally, I would wear safety orange out and about as well as to a formal event, I'm fashionably daring...what can I say?  Just be careful how you pair it because Halloween isn't for a while!





Orange you glad I didn't say banana?
