<div style="text-align: center;">
Whether it's Christmas or New Year's, there are plenty of parties going on this time of the year. It is the end of the year, and as such, it is a great time to get dressed up for a party. To look, and to feel like a million dollars. But, that doesn't mean you have to spend a fortune, to look like one. </div>

Here are my outfit party ideas for the holiday season. </div>

<h3 style="text-align: center;">
The Beauty of Winter</h3>
<div style="text-align: center;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<a href="http://www.polyvore.com/beauty_winter/set?.embedder=9599477&.src=share_desktop&.svc=blogger&id=183966121" target="_blank"><img alt="The Beauty of Winter" border="0" src="http://cfc.polyvoreimg.com/cgi/img-set/.sig/JWMbWjsIV2wqMWalXI99w/cid/183966121/id/oMiRtB6b5RGk-K5Btfvecw/size/c600x599.jpg" height="599" title="The Beauty of Winter" width="600" /></a><br />

<br />
<br />
You don't have to spend a lot to look like you did for your holiday parties. For this look, the dress </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
does all the talking. It has a beautiful snow and ice crystal look to it, without being over the top. Adding silver accessories in a winter hue complements the look. A nice light grey coat, with a fur accent gives a nice cozy, yet elegant look to the outfit. A snow queen, indeed.<br />
<br />
<br />
<h3>
Mixing Classics </h3>
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<a href="http://www.polyvore.com/mixing_classics/set?.embedder=9599477&.src=share_desktop&.svc=blogger&id=184034892" target="_blank"><img alt="Mixing Classics" border="0" src="http://cfc.polyvoreimg.com/cgi/img-set/.sig/lwuwkqe7mIefrwFF0viw/cid/184034892/id/sPm0CEma5RGMmGvXOjy2dA/size/c600x600.jpg" height="600" title="Mixing Classics" width="600" /></a><br />

<br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: small;"> For something a little different, a beautiful pair of pants may make all the difference. It's easier to stay warm, and comfortable in pants, and with many dress codes not being strict, it's a viable option. By mixing classic pieces together, it's easy to create a cohesive, and elegant look. Classic colours always work well together, as the black, red and camel do here. The combination of feminine details, with an unexpected twist, make this outfit truly chic. </span></div>

<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: small;">This polka dot blouse pairs well with a black skirt, while an embellished belt is a great addition, adding some sparkle. Simple jewelry keeps the focus on the outfit, while enhancing the overall look. The beige cardigan, bag and shoes add a lovely contrast. The cardigan and bag provide a luxurious look to the outfit, while the beige mary jane shoes elongate the legs, and the bow ties in the overall girly and sweet look of the entire outfit.</span></div>

<br />
<br />
Black or white is always a great choice when going to a party, but so is black <i>and</i> white. Together. This beautiful three-quarter length dress is more white from the front. Then, when you turn around, it's more black. The shoes are the same way. The jacket and clutch both have beautiful subtle details that go well with the dress. They add contrast when viewing the front of the dress, and blend well when seen from the back of the dress. White pearls and diamonds go well, without distracting from the dress itself. <br />

<br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: small;">This outfit is all about lady like elegance. The red dress is a bright and festive colour for parties and the holidays, yet modestly cut for a lady. A classic black coat, lady's bag and lace pumps add further refinement to the outfit. Beautiful jewelry adds glamour to the dress, with a long beaded necklace, feminine vintage earrings and watch. The bracelet, makes a beautiful statement, tying in with the multi-coloured beads of the necklace, for something a little more unexpected.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: small;">I love special occasion and party outfits. They are the most fun to create and to style (even if you don't enjoy the party as much as getting ready for the party).

<br /></div>
</div>
<ul>
<li><span style="color: #bf9000;"><b><u>Gloves:</u></b></span> I don't know about you but my hands are always cold, so gloves are a must. </li>
<li><span style="color: #bf9000;"><b><u>Hat:</u></b></span> You lose most of your body heat from your head (heat rises), so hats are great. I like a nice hat, and it nicely completes an outfit. I'm always amazed at how many people never wear them when it's freezing outside. Hats really should make a comeback in fashion. </li>
<li><span style="color: #bf9000;"><b><u>Ear Muffs:</u></b></span> These are great if you want to keep your ears warm, without compromising your hair. </li>
<li><span style="color: #bf9000;"><b><u>Fall Coat:</u></b><span style="color: black;"> A classic coat can take you from spring through the fall. It protects you from the rain, and the chill that's still prevalent whether entering or coming out of winter.</span></span> </li>
<li><span style="color: #bf9000;"><b><u>Scarf:</u> </b><span style="color: black;">A wool, or cashmere scarf in a classic colour, or print is great for keeping the chill out. While effortlessly accessorizing your outfit at the same time.</span></span> </li>
<li><b><span style="color: #bf9000;"><u>Leggings;</u> </span></b><span style="color: #bf9000;"><span style="color: black;">Sometimes one layer is just not enough for our legs. That's where leggings come in. Get them in a warm wool, or any other material that keeps the heat on your legs.</span></span> </li>
<li><b><span style="color: #bf9000;"><u>Winter Coat:</u><span style="color: black;"> </span></span></b><span style="color: #bf9000;"><span style="color: black;">When the fall coat is just not enough. Something with lot's of natural warm materials (such as wool) can make all the difference when the temperatures drop.</span></span> </li>
<li><b><span style="color: #bf9000;"><u>Flat Boots:</u> </span></b><span style="color: #bf9000;"><span style="color: black;">For comfortable, yet stylish boots for walking around, flat boots are an essential. I love equestrian boots. I can wear longer and warmer socks with them, and they keep more of my legs covered. </span></span> </li>
<li><span style="color: #bf9000;"><b><u>Socks:</u></b></span> Warm socks. Really warm socks, because like my hands, my feet are always cold this time of year. Get warm dress socks as well as some cozy, thick socks for hanging out at home.</li>
</ul>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><i>The weather outside may be frightful, </i></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><i>but, that doesn't mean you can't look delightful!</i></span><br />
<br />
<br />
Even if your not a fan of the weather, there is always something you can enjoy about this time of the year. I love the beautiful fall colours and the beauty of the snow sparkling like diamonds under the lights. Of course, I also love the fashion. The colours in autumn, reminding me of the leaves, and the rich, luxurious fabrics, colours, and textures that comes with winter clothing. Who says you can't look like a million dollars and be be wonderfully warm and comfortable at the same time?</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
What are your fall and winter essentials? And what do you enjoy most about fall and winter?</div>

So you're heading to Vegas. But, wait! What do you wear in America's playground? Don't worry, I have the ultimate outfit for the most common activities in a <a href="http://www.vegas.com/resorts/" target="_blank">Vegas hotel and resort</a>.

Even though Valentine's Day is directed at couples, there's no reason that you can't make the day about you and your friends (men included or not). Valentine's Day, is like holiday, in that there is an entire theme and color scheme associated with it. You can use this as a great excuse to create a fun day filled with happiness and fun. <br />
<a name='more'></a><div style="text-align: left;">
<ul>
<li> Have a tea party or go to afternoon tea with friends at a Hotel that does it complete with all the lovely delicacies. If you enjoy tea, why not make it an event to remember? Get dressed up, and bring your best manners for some tea and easy conversation with some good friends. </li>
</ul>
</div>
<ul>
<li>Have a fashion show, by having everyone bring lot's of clothes and accessories and playing dress up with everyone. Makeup and hair are an added bonus. You can easily make a party of this.</li>
</ul>
<ul>
<li>You could also spend some time watching a movie together, or a movie marathon if your all up for it. It doesn't need to be girly a Rom-com, it can be anything you all enjoy; action, intrigue. Bring out some popcorn, or healthier snacks if you are so inclined.</li>
</ul>
<ul>
<li>An activity you enjoy. This could be something for yourself on your own, or with others. It could be shopping, yoga, some time at the spa, baking, DIYs, there are no limits.</li>
</ul>
<br />
Seize the day. Whatever you decide to do, make it something that will give you good memories when you look back. Being independent is something to be proud of, and Valentine's Day is a great excuse to pamper yourself, and feel good about who you are.

Hello
again everyone! I thought with February almost here (already!? Can you
believe it?), that I should do an outfit post for Valentine's Day.
Whether you have a date with that special someone in your life, or a day
planned with friends, it's a great excuse to get a little dressed up
and enjoy yourself. </div>

What
do you think? Is Valentine's Day a great excuse to get a little (or
fully) dressed up for whatever you happen to be doing? I think so, even
though it's not a holiday, it's a day that you can use as an excuse to put in some
extra effort; not for anyone else, just for yourself. To take a little
extra pride in how you feel, by putting a little bit more time into how
you look really does work wonders on how confident we feel on the
inside, which everyone sees on the outside. It's a win-win. So go on,
celebrate a new, more confident you this Valentine's Day. </div>

If you really want to surprise someone, think a little outside the box than the typical Christmas gift. A great idea is to get tickets to something they will enjoy and want to see or do. There are many possibilities, such as going to the theatre to see a certain play, going to a concert, or sports event. </div>

I always love shopping for gifts for others. My favorite part of opening up presents is seeing the look on everyone's face when I know they will enjoy what they got. It gives me such a good feeling inside, that I brought happiness into their lives. And the feeling is that much stronger when I got a great gift for those hard to buy for people, that I'm sure everyone has had at least one of in their lives. Am I right?<br />

<h3>
For Something a Little Different</h3>
You can stay warm and look glamorous at the holiday parties without the traditional dress or skirt. Try a nice pair of pants and a luxurious looking sweater, or a beautiful top with a stylish blazer to be paired with nice fitting pants.<br />

For Something More Typical</h3>
A beautiful dress, whether it's the classic LBD, or something else, you can't go wrong with a look like this for the holidays (so long as you keep it respectable). A dress with lace, or pale colors are popular this season, although you can never go wrong with black either. <br />

<h3>
For Those That Want to Capture Attention</h3>
For anyone wants to stand out from everyone else, pick a look that is not typical to be copied. Red always captures attention, yet the classic, feminine and delicate detailing of this dress is sure to be different than the styles of other red dresses. Sophisticated accessories complete the look.<br />

For Those That Really Want to Sparkle</h3>
The holidays are the time of the year when everyone can bring out the sparkles, especially in clothing items. You can combine bold sparkling accessories with sparkling clothing for a more dramatic look, or let the clothing make the statement all on its own. If there is a season to indulge in rich looking details it's the Christmas season.<br />

<small><span style="font-size: small;"> There is no time of the year that has that special feeling where everything is as special, festive, sparkling and beautiful as this time of the year. Dress up. Add some extra sparkle to your party outfits, and enjoy this time of the year, because there's just something about it, that makes everything feel a little more special. Getting dressed up always feels extra exciting, there's more options, more glamour, and more sparkle. The options seem to always be limitless. I hope I have given you some inspiration on what to wear this holiday season.</span></small></div>

The essential pieces for fall and winter. Get these pieces in classic styles and neutral tones first, then you can wear them yearly and you will never be out of style. Once you have them in neutrals, pick them up in beautiful colors and patterns that you like for variety.<span style="color: #0000ee;"><span style="font-size: small;"> </span></span><br />

Trench coats and pea coats in wool will keep you warm for many years to come. They are timeless, stylish and look good with any outfit. For best versatility, get a coat or jacket to wear during the fall, and a warmer one for when the temperature really drops.<br />

A warm sweater is perfect for leisure days and nights, or for casual work places. Sweaters and cardigans are great layering pieces, and a nice knit or cashmere sweater is a classic piece to have for anyone that has fall and winter.<br />

<br />
Keep yourself warm with classic leather gloves, warm hats and scarves. A warm hat will prevent the heat from escaping from your head (warm air rises), which keeps you surprisingly warm once you put a hat on. Gloves will keep your hands warm, as they are the first (along with the feet) to get cold. Scarves are great for keeping your neck warm, and keeping the warmth in, while adding texture, and color and interest to your outfit. Always get at least one item of each in a neutral and classic first to get the most use per wear. <br />

<br />
Riding boots are great for a casual dressy look all fall and winter long. Moccasins can be worn inside or out and the sheepskin will keep your feet cozy yet fashionable and comfortable. Rain boots are great for any place that gets lot's of rain, and can be made more winter ready by adding an inner shell. Ankle booties are a classic for this time of the year, and will take you from the office to a party afterward. <br />

<br />
When no amount of layers will keep you warm enough, under clothing warmth is a must. Whether it be leggings under skirts dresses and pants, or long socks that warm the feet as well as the legs, once you have them, you'll wonder how you ever lived without them.<br />
<br />
If you're fortunate you won't need all of these to get you through fall and winter. However, for those of us that do, these are essentials. Now you're ready for winter for any cool weather that comes. What essentials can't you live without for fall and winter?

When it rains, it pours. But, that doesn't mean you can't look great in the rain. Sometimes it's cold, sometimes it's not, but no matter what the temperature is, there are a few things to keep in mind when dressing for a rainy day.<br />
<a name='more'></a>Rainy days usually require:<br />
<ul>
<li>Rain boots, or waterproof shoes. You can always bring another pair of shoes and change into them once you're out of the rain. </li>
</ul>
<ul>
<li>Waterproof coat. This isn't such a necessity, if you have an umbrella with you, because you won't get you're clothes wet, but it;s always a good idea, unless you live in a desert to get a coat or jacket that sheds rain. </li>
</ul>
<ul>
<li>An umbrella. Avoid ruining your hair, clothes and bag by having an umbrella with you when the forecast expects rain. When you have this, you don't often need the other two above.</li>
</ul>
<ul>
</ul>
Keeping that in mind, here are some outfit ideas:<br />

Having rain boots and carrying another pair of shoes once you get to your indoor destination is a great way to dress your best no matter if it's rain or shine, rain or dry. A classic and rain repellent trench coat are a go-to during this time of the year, although any rain repellant material will do. A canvas bag can handle rain better, and won't get water spots the way a nice leather bag would. If you carry an umbrella, this won't matter so much. Of course, if it is cold, bring some gloves for those hands, they are after all, one of the first areas (including the feet) to get cold first. And since your hands will be outside to hold the umbrella, gloves really are that important.<br />
<br />
What suggestions do you have for dressing on rainy days?

When the weather drops nothing feels quite like being warm and comfortable with some warm tea to relax and enjoy yourself. Whether you're on the couch or hair with your computer warming up your legs, or drinking a cup of tea, and curled up in a warm blanket reading a book. Or, maybe you're more ambitious than that, and are organizing the house. Whatever you choose to do, doesn't mean you can't look and feel stylish, while remaining comfortable at the same time. After all, this is the twenty-first century.<br />

Wearing some cozy loafers to keep the feet warm is an essential when one is without heated floors. Since you're not going out anywhere special (or anywhere at all) it's great to keep accessories to a minimum. Sometimes a little gives you a sense of completeness to your outfit, without over doing it when you won;t be leaving your house. Wearing your favorite, or sentimental pieces is a great time, because you have the time to reflect and take notice that you;re wearing them. A watch is always great, that way you can stay on track no matter where you are, or what you're doing.<br />

Some slippers are always welcome in the cold weather. If you don't have a pair of moccasins, then grab your slippers. When lounging around at home, comfort is usually the most important thing when deciding what to wear. Some loose fitting pants don't constrict you anywhere, making them perfect leisure pants. While dark neutrals go with everything, you can brighten up your look with some color. Pale colors are great because they provide color and make the outfit more cheerful, without being too much. </div>

Many people love to wear their yoga pants, or any work out pants all day long, and around the house. Some put them on as soon as they get home. They are great for lounging about at home. They are comfortable, they are flattering on the body, and they mean you don't have to buy a separate pair of pants to lounge in, therefore saving you money. </div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
When dressing comfortably and stylishly even at home, minimal accessories are best, unless of course you feel wearing them boosts your mood, and motivates you to get things done. In that case, do it. What do you wear when you're relaxing at home? </div>

<a href="http://www.polyvore.com/zella/set?.embedder=9599477&.svc=blogger&id=137191811" target="_blank"><img alt="Zella" border="0" src="http://cfc.polyvoreimg.com/cgi/img-set/.sig/OlUeXTYe6uPaL336LWZbQ/cid/137191811/id/rGKHfI1R5BGit-PZZFZllw/size/c600x749.jpg" force="1" height="640" title="Zella" width="512" /></a></div>
<br />
I don't think it can be said enough just how useful leggings are during the fall and winter months. So much so, that they are a must have. If you don't have them then you don't know what you're missing. <br />
<a name='more'></a>Leggings are so versatile, and I truly believe a fall and winter staple. Leggings are such a versatile fashion piece, that they can even be worn as pants (provided your top covers your butt). Although, because they aren't pants they can be worn many other ways as well. They can always be worn underneath other pants to provide an extra liner to keep your legs warm. They can be used under skirts and dresses, to keep your legs warm, and prevent your skin from drying out due to the harsh elements of the weather. You can also wear them to simply lounge around at home. In fact, many people do just that once they get home, they change into leggings to relax.<br />
<br />
Leggings come in a wide array of colors, fabrics, and patterns. They come in more classic shades and patterns, and even more fun and wild assortments to fit every interest. I personally prefer the neutral tones, for maximum flexibility when creating outfits, but feel free to experiment for yourself.<br />
<br />

<br />
<br />
You can also wear workout leggings such as these Zella ones pictured above. These are great, because sometimes a girl needs that boost of confidence of looking good in her work out clothes in order to exercise, or just for general self-confidence. This is really important when working out in public places, and not the privacy of your own home. Now, if all you have is workout leggings then you can wear them while lounging around at home. You can be comfortable, and maybe, just maybe, because you are already wearing them you will feel motivated to work out. A Win-win.<br />
<br />
If you don't already have some, now is the time to get some. Even if you only start off with a couple basic black pairs that provide warmth. Once the cold weather hits, you will be happy you did, and your legs will be too.<br />
<br />
Do you enjoy wearing leggings? Do you find them a wonderful luxury for your legs once the weather drops?

Some of my favorite designers, including Oscar de la Renta, and Ralph Lauren never disappoint. They always have such elegance and beautiful clothes. I love some of the old Hollywood elegance of Christian Siriano, and I love the way Lela Rose made geometric shapes look on clothes, so beautiful. Not to mention Ralph Lauren's yellow gown reminds me of Belle's dress from Beauty and the Beast. I cannot wait for spring! I love them all!

Head to toe neutrals are always a good option, and are a significant trend for the fall and winter seasons. In this look, navy blue is used as is gold toned jewelry and shearling; all big trends that work excellent for anyone's wardrobe. Shearling is warm and can be found in many different pieces, from coats and jackets to scarfs, gloves, ear muffs, hats and shoes. With some shearling in your outfit you will be warm and right on trend. </div>

If you're willing to indulge in some brighter colors, try combining complementary colors (opposite on the color wheel). These looks were all over the runways and added a nice splash of color that many people miss during the later seasons. Here I used yellow and blue, combining that with some grey (another great neutral). Mixing gold and silver jewelry blends the trends of grey and silver with brighter yellow and gold nicely together.The entire look is professional, yet the colors and individual pieces make the look more fun and relaxed.<br />

For those with a very casual workplace can wear a nice sweater and some jeans. Here wearing a nice neutral color matches your choice of heeled or flat shoes, while the blue jeans, bag, and accessories bring out the vibrant color trend and some liveliness to the outfit, without shouting it. <br />

<small><span style="font-size: small;">A great khaki green blouse with gold jewelry looks rich, while the leather pants incorporate an edgy style to the look. Leather is a classic, and big again for fall and winter, so go ahead and wear a leather dress, or pants if you have the freedom to in your workplace. </span></small><br />
<br />

<small><span style="font-size: small;">Grey is an under utilized shade and neutral, that works wonderfully for spring and summer in addition to fall and winter. Adding some texture with the exotic skin bag adds interest to the single shade palette. By keeping the shade the same through the entire outfit, you create a uniform ,and professional look. Silver jewelry looks best with light grey, and white pearl necklace adds an elegant statement. Although nothing in this outfit stands out much from anything else, you yourself will standout from the crowd, despite wearing head to toe neutrals. </span></small><br />

Sticking to black and white is the go to work wear staple for a reason, it always looks good, and goes with everything. When you decide to incorporate some color into your accessories you can rest assured any color you add will go with the rest of your black and white outfit. Adding some vivid colors with jewelry, or scarves is a great way to add trends and personality to your look. The earrings are simple studs to keep the attention on this amazing necklace. Adding a statement earrings and a necklace would be too much, especially in a more restrictive environment. <br />

Wearing classic black with rich gold accessories always look great on their own. To add a little more interest, add a pattern or vivid color. Leopard is a big trend this year, but it is also a classic pattern, so having an odd piece or two in this print is never a bad idea. If you don't feel comfortable with this much print, start with a shoe, or belt. With the blouse being a heavy pattern and a focal point near the face, a necklace is not necessary. Some lovely gold jewelery compliments the outfit. The beige coat is a nice deviation form a black coat, and still goes effortlessly with the rest of the ensemble.<br />

This look is all about neutrals, without being plain and ordinary. You won't be dressed like everyone else, if you wear something like this, with different patterns and textures, which create lot's of interest. Neutrals are always good in a work environment, and gold is classic, elegant, and always adds a richness to an outfit, while perfectly complimenting the colors of the outfit. Even though the outfit consist entirely of neutrals, they are all slightly different from each other which helps the outfit stand out, while still blending in when need be.<br />
<br />
Looking professional while indulging in trends, and versatile pieces can be an enjoyable and creative experience, so long as you know the rules of what is appropriate and acceptable and what is not. So make sure you know what you can get away with before you wear it to work. For that reason, I would suggest if you're apprehensive to start with accessories, that way you can always remove a scarf, earrings a necklace during the day, instead of feeling uncomfortable wearing a particular piece of clothing all day long. <br />
<br />
I hope this gives you some ideas and inspires you to dress to kill, but more importantly, dress to make yourself feel good while heading out to work. How lenient is your workplace when it comes to what you're allowed to wear? Do you find dressing for work confusing? Are you able to enjoy lot's of leeway when it comes to dressing for work? Or, is your work place slow in adapting a more flexible work attire?Ashara Valehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00493123912743107292noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-98875692149641552.post-82303874319287042242014-09-10T15:03:00.002-07:002014-09-10T15:04:04.464-07:00Back to School Outfits: Heading to Class <a href="http://www.polyvore.com/neutal_normcore/set?.embedder=9599477&.svc=blogger&id=134540351" target="_blank"><img alt="Neutal Normcore" border="0" src="http://cfc.polyvoreimg.com/cgi/img-set/.sig/ighmAgvRnIbebdOB36BVg/cid/134540351/id/kF6NdCw55BG6FY_xtfvecw/size/c600x607.jpg" force="1" height="607" title="Neutal Normcore" width="600" /></a><br />

Neutrals are always a great way to look stylish and put together, not to mention comfortable clothes always come in neutral colors. A leather jacket in your choice of neutrals is a classic go-to piece, that is always in style, and can last a long time. Just put it on over a simple top and jeans and you're ready for class. Keeping accessories to a smaller number, and always wearing a watch will ensure you make it to class on time, without fussing over what else to wear. <br />

Wearing black look s polished and dressy even when you aren't trying to be. It is a very professional. Adding some ballet flats that are comfortable, feminine and easy to walk in. This pair is in a leopard print, which is a big trend for this season. They add a pop of interest, without being too much, as the bag is the standout piece of this outfit. A classic coat keeps the look elegant and will take you from day to night, and from casual to a dressy occasion. <br />

Grey is big for 2014 and it is a great neutral that, while a neutral and goes with many other things, it isn't as over used as other neutrals, so you will standout wearing grey, especially if you wear lot's of it. In this outfit, I added some contrast with black accessories, and by mixing various shades of grey.<br />

For a ultra feminine yet still a perfectly versatile and comfortable look for class, try something with lot's of classics, and feminine details. Stripes, bows, black and white, pearls and Mary Jane pumps, will look great without looking too try hard for something as casual as going to class. </div>

But, at the end of the day, you have to fell good in what you're wearing, so you can be your best possible self, and concentrate on learning the material,so you can do great. I believe that if you dress well, you feel good, then you're ready to take on anything. So please, no sweat pants or pajamas in class.</span></small><br />

Knits are a staple for fall and winter, nonetheless they are a hot trend, so don't resit getting warm and cozy knits this season. Being warm and cozy is in! Always start off with some classic colors, then go from there when you have those covered. Grey, black, white, brown, beige and any similar shade are essentials. Designers always show knits in the classic colors, often paired with other neutrals. <br />

Keeping in line with warmth, try shearling fur. Unlike other types of fur, shearling doesn't involve killing animals, only shaving them to get the fur. A shearling coat, and gloves will help keep you warm this fall and winter. Beautiful browns and beige go great together with gold. For a pop of color, red goes beautifully with these colors. Gold is also a huge trend this fall and winter, as you will it accessorized with multiple outfits in this post. <br />

For something more adventurous, try an animal print, leopard is an especially hot trend this year. Keep it minimal with the animal print. Wear one item at once of an animal print looks best, whether it's a coat, dress, top, shoes, bag, or something else. Wearing only 1, maybe 2 small items in animal print looks the most elegant and chic, because too much starts to look like a costume.</div>

Wearing colors together in vibrant hues is all the rage this season: perfect for those that want to stand out, and carry on wearing bright colors even when the weather is not. It was common to see either all one or similar colors all paired together, such as red from head to toe (accessories included), while it was also common to see opposite colors, such as blue and yellow. When trying to achieve this trend, look for vibrant and bright colors, such as the look above.</div>

Now if you prefer to standout by not trying to standout, then wear something as neutral and classic as you can.With everyone trying to standout by wearing large accessories, and bold and statement pieces, you may end up standing out best, by dressing as subtle and neutral as possible. Think of all the classic and neutral colors, and create a similar color scheme, such as black, white, navy, or beige and khaki, or brown and caramel. This look is known as normcore to designers. <br />
<br />
These were some of my favorite trends for fall and winter 2014. I love the fact that being neutral has become a standout, as more and more people want to standout and wear different colors, and bold pieces. At the same time I love the idea of carrying over wearing head to toe in vibrant colors into the fall and winter. Let's face it people should feel encouraged to wear lot;s of color no matter what season it is, especially if it makes them feel good.<br />
<br />
What are your favorites trends for fall and winter? Are there any you're eager to try?

With the September almost here, it's a reminder summer is just about over for most, and fall is on its way. Fall fashions and trends are already in stores, they have been for awhile, but that doesn't mean we have to go strait into fall fashion. Usually the change in the weather determines when we bring out the fall clothing, but for now it's great to wear summer clothes, that transition seamlessly into fall. Grey is all the rage this fall, so for those that want to start incorporating some fall trends into the mix now, grey is a great for that. Grey is a neutral that is light enough to be a neutral in the summer if you so choose, while a classic in the fall. Grey is a great color for work clothing along with a classic grey bag. A little contrast always helps make the look pop, which is what the black and blue accessories do here, without overshadowing the grey. </div>
<div style="text-align: left;">

Are you ready already transitioning to fall colors and trends? What do you think of grey as a neutral for fall? Do you prefer black? What rends are you looking forward to wearing this fall?</div>

Back and white are always classic and sophisticated no matter the occasion, even when the occasion is beachwear. A cut-out swimsuit is glamorous and sophisticated, and sexy at the same time, while not showing too much. It puts a great new take on the classic black swimsuit, and adds another element, with it’s unique shape and cut outs to create lot’s of interest, making you a standout on the beach. White accessories and beige add a pop of contrast to this black outfit. When accessorizing this outfit, all the essential outfit accessories were included: sunglasses, hat, scarf, and sandals. If you love to listen to music when at the beach, then some great headphones are a must to get the most out of your music.<br />

What do you love to do at the beach? What do you bring with you to the beach? Music? A book?

It's almost time to go back to school. But before you do, make sure you get all the school essentials that will help get you through everyday life. These are essentials everyone could use, and likely does use if they want to stay organized, and productive during the school year (and even outside of it).<br />

<br />
In order to get a great start, and a confident start to a great new
school year, it's important to be prepared before the year starts, so
you don't have to worry about not having something you need. These are the essentials everyone could use on an everyday basis when back in school:<br />
<br />
<ul>
<li>A large bag that is made well to carry everything you need without falling apart</li>
</ul>
<ul>
<li>An agenda </li>
</ul>
<ul>
<li>Notebooks (or, buy paper separately and use a binder)</li>
</ul>
<ul>
<li>Pens </li>
</ul>
<ul>
<li>Sticky notes</li>
</ul>
<ul>
<li>Highlighters </li>
</ul>
<ul>
<li>USB flash drive</li>
</ul>
<ul>
<li>Water bottle</li>
</ul>
<ul>
<li> Laptop </li>
</ul>
<br />
Depending on what you're taking this essentials list might look a little different, but for many these are the basics school day-to-day life that will keep you organized. Now is the time to get what you need, while prices, and supplies are still available. Believe me, there is nothing like needing to get something once school has started and being really limited, and paying too much for something that should have been bought before hand.<br />
<br />
Do you have all the essential school supplies already? What are you most looking forward to with the start of a new school year?

<br />
Often times when school starts it is still hot as summer outside, which means you will need to dress accordingly and not jump too quickly into wearing all your new fall clothing. Everyone wants to make a good first impression at the start of a new year, and perhaps a new school where you will meet new people. Whatever your situation is, it's always a good idea to get the most important things your need first, then go from there. Without further ado,Let's get to some ideas that I hope will inspire you when putting your own looks together for back to school.<br />

When it's still quite hot outside, wearing a nice sleeveless top, and shorts are great along with a nice pair of open- toed sandals (not flip flops). The sleeveless blouse is great because it's perfect for hot weather, while it is a more respectable than a typical sleeveless top. A bright color that ties in well with this outfit are some warm, bright orange accessories, and a floral necklace. Gold accessories compliment the color palette and add a unity to the colors. Be sure to keep it comfortable and respectable, you are at school after all. <br />

A Change in the Air</h3>

<br />
<br />
Once that change in the air happens, you know summer has left, and fall has taken it's place. This means a transition in your outfit choices. You can still keep wearing some summer things mixed together with your fall items, just be sure to fress for the weather. In many places once the weather changes, you want more layers, and some warmth, so keep that in mind when your picking things out. Layering becomes important at this point, so while you may get away with sleeveless tops later in the day, wear a jacket for when the temperature is not as favorable, and some shoes that cover your toes, as those are likely the first are to get cold.<br />

<br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: small;">With fall in full force, now you get to layer even more for maximum effect. A classic trench coat is a great option, as it is a wardrobe staple, as are riding boots in black or brown. To keep warm, add more layers with a sweater, gloves, and a warm scarf. With this outfit I kept with the neutrals of fall with browns, beige, black, gold, and a deep red. When shopping it's always a good idea to stock up on the classics, and classic colors. You can never go wrong, just mix and match and you will look effortlessly chic and put together. </span></div>
<br />
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: small;"> As with all the outfits, I great big bag will work wonders so you can carry everything you need for the day. This may include just your notebook, laptop, and books, but it may also include your lunch, water bottle, work clothes, work out clothes, or anything else you need to take with you for the day. Keep in mind, you only need one bag for all your outfits, since it's such a large bag, so get one that is built sturdy enough to carry everything, and that has strong enough straps so it will endure lot's of use. </span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: small;"> I hope this helped, and gave you some ideas. Always remember, wear what makes you feel good, and will portray to others the image you want to portray. </span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: small;">Which outfit do you like the best? What are you most excited to wear this fall? What are you looking forward to the most about going back to school?</span></div>

<br />
<br />
<small><span style="font-size: small;">If you want a change from black and white at the office, then this outfit is a great alternative without being too radical from the traditional. By wearing light grey you are still wearing a classic shade to the office, while brightening your look from the typical dark shades popular throughout the cooler seasons. Taking this outfit a step further than a white top, by wearing a light pink one instead. This shade is on trend, feminine, yet subtle enough to work well in a corporate environment. You can decide, how far to take this by adding accessories that match, yet remain neutral and professional in a light pink or beige. Gold jewelry is forever a classic, so I kept the jewelry itself simple, because of the environment, but also because the outfit only needs a small dose of jewelry to compliment it, so as not to over power it.</span></small><br />
<br />
<small><span style="font-size: small;">Is this a look you would try? Have you been wearing pink or grey in your work outfits? If not, than what trends have you been incorporating into your work wardrobe? </span></small></div>

Keeping it comfortable and very casual for a weekend trip is the best way to do it. A shirt, such as this one, is nice and airy to keep you cool. Wear it tucked in, partly tucked in, or loose, depending on how casual you want your look. Pair this with some comfortable jean shorts, and some flat and comfortable shoes. Keeping accessories minimal and practical, with a watch, a hat, sunglasses, and some simple and subtle jewelry. By the way don't forget to pack smartly with your weekender bag to fit everything you need, and nothing you don't. Whatever you're doing this weekend, have a great one!<br />

White, floral, and lighter shades are timeless during summer. You can never go wrong when wearing one, two, or all of them together. Meanwhile, mid heels have made a strong comeback, perfect for when you want to look and feel more dressed up, without the discomfort and pain that comes along with high heels.They are elegant, and great for work and casual outfits. The pink shades that are popular this year help bring out the pink in these gorgeous floral shorts. Gold and beige accessories are great for summer days, bringing a fresh yet classical rich look, while tortoise shell sunglasses, instead of black perfectly compliment this light outfit.<br />
<br />
What do you think of this look? What do you think about mid heels being back in style? Are you fan? Or, do you prefer high heels?</div>

Everyone knows pink and purple go well together, but not many people think of putting either color with the neutral grey. This color combination looks great, and is different from what most people put together, so if you want to try something different, give this a try. Since it's summer a bright color pink works well to give this outfit a summer look. The use of black helps add some contrast to the look, but feel free to add more grey in place of black for the summer. The light grey bag is great for the warmer weather months, and a large tote will make it easy for getting in and out of, when you're out and about. </div>

What do you think about pink and purple paired with grey? Is it something you often see? Would you ever try it?<br />

I hope you all have a great weekend! </div>

Running errands around town? Why not be comfortable and look chic while doing it? A great go-to are jeans and a casual style blouse that can be tucked in, or left long over the jeans. Rolling up the sleeves on a blouse give a relaxed, casual feel when it is hot outside,while a pair of flats make the entire outfit practical for wherever you're running off to. Simple jewelry, with a great scarf keep the outfit fuss free, let utterly stylish. A handbag that can be worn multiple ways will give you lot's of flexibility, and the beauty of a bag like this makes your entire outfit look more expensive.<br />
<br />
Always feel good in what you're wearing, no mater where you're going, or what you're doing. I hope you all enjoy your day! </div>
