Pantone Color Of The Year: 2012

UM....I'm wildly obsessed with Pantone's color of the year: Tangerine!! This is a great tone because it can vary so far into the peach tone, orange tone, and pink tone. It's actually one of my favorite colors that I have been wearing for a while because a light shade of tangerine is a great compliment to us fair-skinned chicks. Just last weekend I went out and purchased too many items to count in different shades of tangerine and I just could not be more thrilled. So get out there people, and get with it!

P.S- While you're out shopping because my lovely self has brainwashed you into retail therapy, look for metallic items, chiffon tops, bandeaus, and BOLD prints since these are all trends exploding all over the place for 2012.

P.P.S- You're welcome ;).

THIS ISN'T FASHION

STOP THIS. STOP IT NOW.
Okay, everyone. I think it's necessary that I make a point of this. These stupid animal hats are THE worst thing to ever become a trend in the past decade. This is actually worse than neon colored leggings. Just because something is a popular trend does not mean it creates style. I repeat, a TREND and STYLE are very, VERY different things. Please people, take off these atrocities and buy some real winter wear, dammit. That is all.

NEW OBSESSION

Sabo Skirt!


Seriously all of you need to hop on this bandwagon. I'm obsessed, I'm obsessed, I'm obsessed. Every single thing they have is adorable. Only issue is their selection is a little limited and their prices are a tad high for broke college students like ourselves. I try to wait for something to go on sale but check them out and see what you think!

Hair Tutorial

The Sock Bun!


Check out this Hair Tutorial on how to make your hair super curly without any heat or hairspray! I haven't tried this method yet but you can bet tonight I definitely will. For chickadees with super super long, healthy hair like me, this is perfect. There's no breakage and no damage! All you need is a sock to spare and some water! Enjoy :)

Spring 2012

Is anybody else totally out of control excited for the spring collections. Such bright, fun colors! I am loving the trend in color and fabric contrast as well :).

Tip for Fall 2011

Bellbottoms. I don't know how, I don't know why but they are back in a big way! Make sure you pick up a pair with a nice long hem and big bell. Mine will probably be studded and ripped, so spice it up anyway that seems perfect for your personal style :)

Fall 2011 Collection Shoutout!

MULBERRY!

Welp, I just found my new favorite designer. Ladies and gentlemen, a designer who only made it big just a short two years ago, has taken my breath away.
