Fall/Winter SNEAK PEEK

Alright, I am sure you probably don't want to be thinking about winter right now, but I just thought hey, why not update you on the newest fashion trends? Anyway, we are back to the classics with Michael Kors' Fall/Winter collection. There are a lot of camel and grey tones for the chilling months. Also there are army greens, and creams to go along as well. And instead of doing classic black, why not do charcoal? It's a smoky colour sure to impress with just as much impact. 

P.S Michael Kors has that best handbags in my opinion. So if you're looking for a designer bag that will last for years to come, think Michael Kors.

Back 2 School Picks

This is a floral accent shoulder top from forever21.com. I think it's especially cute, since it's a nice white colour, it's very light, and would also be a cute shirt to hit the town with. It's $22.80, and you can go here to look at it. (By the way, I am using the US site, so the price will be different here)

There is a new pant making it's way on the scene, and I can guarantee you that they will be all over the place come September. It's the jegging. Have no clue what I am talking about? Well then Urban Dictionary will clear that up for you. The jegging is A piece of clothing which is a cross between jeans and leggings. Usually made from polyester, cotton and spandex. These are basically like skinny jeans, but more flexible, and skinnier. I remember seeing the jegging last year or so going for $80. It was made by a person who wanted to have a flexible but fashionable pant for doing yoga. It was by Second denim Co. They were on Global TV, and that was when I first heard of the multitasking pant. So now, you can get similar versions from all over. At my workplace even!
So would I recommend these to anyone, Well yeah I would, but you just have to make sure YOU are comfortable in them. Don't just buy things because they are in style. 

Accessories I feel just can bring a look together. If you have one or two great pieces they can double as a conversation starter. May I suggest this amazing garden chunky bracelet from forever21.com. It is beautiful and can really bring an outfit together. 
You can go look at other pictures here. The bracelet is $6.80.
Chunky rings are really cool too! 

A lot of fashion now is focused on a vintage look. And of course in order to achieve this you need to shop vintage. So go to a second hand clothing store. You are bound to fund a great item for really cheap. And plus there are so many advantages to shopping vintage. You can save money, save the environment, and basically look great! I really like this old canvas bag from forever21.com. I know it's not vintage, but it does have that older look. And it would be really cute for back to school. The leather detailing just adds to it's great look. It is $29.80 at forever21. A little costy for my budget but I am pretty sure I can find something like it somewhere else.
Going on the vintage feel, look at this wallet. Isn't cute? I think this would be a great piece to have. It's timeless and gives a sense of luxery, but really you spent like 10 bucks for it!
And of course, graphic tees are always perfect for those days you have no idea what to wear. The one below is cute and fun, and would go great with jeans, or legging, or JEGGINGS! 
Have fun shopping. And remember shop for yourself. If you ever need some inspiration, I will put some links of my favourite fashion places to look. Remember, we can all be fashion bredd.

LOOKBOOK.nu: "Simple Shades" by Liz Sampson


LOOKBOOK.nu: "Simple Shades" by Liz Sampson: "Riller & Foust Mako Dress from tobi.com, Jeffrey Campbell Wedge, Modcloth Sweater"
Okay, so this is such a cute outfit. I love the neutral colours. Recently there is this trend where you pair socks with heels, and other heeled shoes. I was totally against the look. It requires too much for the everyday woman to pull off. However, the model in the picture does manage to pull it off, and I commend her for it. But remember folks, this "socks with sandals" look can look bad really easily.

LOOKBOOK.nu: "little vanilla" by Perventina Ols
I think I have an obsession with cream coloured girly dresses. Well anyway, I really love how light the dress looks, and the rich warm vanilla is perfect for it.
