Out with the old, in with the new!

helloo readers! How are you all doing on this beautiful saturday afternoon?! I am really behind with my blogposts and its making meeh really sad that I don't have enough time for my blog anymore :( school kicked off and its going to be a hectic semester and so im hoping I can find writers for my blog to keep it alive since I will not have too much time anymore! But I will keep writing as much as I can b/c I do enjoy blogging! hehe


Anywaysss I know I am a little late, but seriously out with the old and in with the new for 2012!! So whats the best way to do this?? HAIR! Changing your hair can do sooo much and honestly make you feel like a whole new person sometimes.. whether you chop it off or simply just change the color! For those of you who have been following my blog from day 1-- i blogged about the ombre-- if you still have it, its time to get rid of it! Try something new.. it is the perfect time to go light if thats what you have been wanting to do. I personally love black hair so ive had black hair for a reallly long time now. I did do the ombre over the summer but I got bored n came back to my dark hair! <3 haha.  What about highlights?? Try something new. Freshen up you flavor! Its a new year-- new YOU!
'For fashionisers in 2012, hair is all about revivals and evolution' !

Still see the gradient effect-- but its a lot more subtle!

Or stick to the Dark hair! =D

Browns. =)

Boys-- You guys too! Don't go dying your hair or anything haha, but change up your hairstyle. I know soo many guys that have had the same hair style for YEARS. come on its finally time to try something new please!!

The 20's with a modern twist!

Helllooo Readers! How are you all on this wonderful Rainy day?! I hope all of you are doing well and Welcome back to school for those of you starting up the spring semester!! Now that school is starting—there's no more time to be bums and you all need to get your closets all reorganized for the spring time! Wooohooo.

Spring fashion??

How many of you have a closet with floral overload?? Well lucky for all of you that do, you can keep those items in your closet because Florals will continue to be a trend this spring, but of course with a twist.  Now wats the twist?? Well how many of you remember the elegance of the 20’s?? That’s the twist in this springs trends.. everything will somehow relate to the 20’s.

So lets take a look at the 20’s.

1920's Silhouette 

The key was feminine grace, but without curves.—So loose clothing.  We have already seen a lot of loose clothing. 

Knee length dresses—which are totally back in.  The knee length skirts and dresses are seen everywhere nowadays!

‘Oodles of Beading, furs, feathers, flowers, and lace ! especially when going out at night. Popular fabrics were chiffon,taffeta, satin, velvet and brocade! beading, furs, feathers, flowers, and lace. Floral dress colours, as can be seen in our archive film below, were hugely popular.’ – we have def been seeing all of this! 

1920's-- Look a little familiarr??? =)

A modern twist to the 20's!

Prada 2012.

Proenza- Schouler 2012-- Floral is still in! =)

We are really going to be seeing a lot the 20's this spring so i hope this helps! Enjoy and have funn, but dont forget to be CLASSY bc thts what the 20's was all about!! =)

hello!

Hiii Readerss! Happy 2012 to all of you! I hope you all had a great holiday season-- so sad that the holiday season is over, but it is a new year and we have so much to look forward to within this year! Ive missed blogging, but since I was on vacation I did not get much time to write! Soo has LA really even had a winter yet?? are we going to have a late winter or just jump into spring?!  Well it doesn't matter because we'll jump right into Spring fashion :D

Ok soo I must say we all really need to appreciate everything we have b/c we are so fortunate.  After visiting a country like Pakistan, you really learn to realize how fortunate we really are! try taking cols showers and not having electricity all the time!! -- but the crazy thing about all of this is that even though the country is not so fortunate--fashion is still a big part of their lives.  I mean i Saw Hermes billboards all around and for those of you that know how expensive Hemes is you understand what I mean!! 

Also,  its crazy how fashion in different countries varies sooo much! As I was traveling this holiday season I noticed that fashion is a big part of every country, but its so different from country to country.  I had soo many pics for my blog, but unfortunately I lost my camera in my travels back home :( so I don't have any pics to post anymore! But I must say no matter what the economy looks like anywhere around the world, people are concerned about fashion and what they are wearing.  

Pastels, colors, and more colors! That is what spring is going to all be about, colored jeans are still out there?? I wonder how long they will last--they are def going to go into the spring season but I feel like if you don't already have  pair of colored skinnys don't even bother because you are just a little too late!


Just for a start here are Spring 2012 Color charts for Guys and Gals! 

I love all these colors. Sooo springy! a mix of brights and pastels.  

Guys!-- you guys can wear colors too, don't be afraid to do so! =D

Okay I will be writing a lot more very soon so stay tuned!
