FASHION FRENZY FRIDAY: Tumblr Inspired Fashion

hello all :)
I have not done a #FFF in a while! I am back full force in blogging now! So I have been really inspired by demin, shoes and jeffrey campbell lately. So that is pretty much all thanks to tumblr. (http://ladygagaobsessed.tumblr.com) These trends are not only showing up in the internet, but also almost everywhere. sorry this is just a quick post, but I hope it satisfies your fashion fix for now :)

Fashion Frenzy Friday #2

Hello :)

So here are some trends for spring I am in love with! Even though where I live, snowed all day today :( and I just bought new sandals! What a disappointment... oh well.

I love love love bright colored shoes! Especially the ones from Aldo, they are a reasonable price too! I am too tall for heels though... And I also love shoes that have peek a boos holes in it, they are so cute and girly. Gladiators have been a really big summer trend for the past three+ seasons, and are still going strong! They are great for anyone's style.

Second would have to be big floppy hats! I feel like hats are an accessory that isn't really used that often, but when it is, it is awesome! They have a vintage feel to them, which makes them even more trendy!

Next, is cat eye sunglasses. Not much to say about these because they speak for themselves! Vintage, trendy, perfect for everyday.

Last, is big beach bags. Now me being me, I really dislike beaches, so having a beach bag and using it for the beach is not practical. But I feel that more and more people are using bigger tote-like bags for everyday. Like using it instead of a backpack and a purse. It's cute and huge! and excellent for the summer because of the general look and history of them.

I hope you enjoyed, and see you Monday :)

FASHION FRENZY FRIDAY #1

What is FFF?

Well, it is going to be a weekly segment on beautybydallas. I will be sharing lots of fashionable ideas and trends, including outfits of the day, my favorite trends, celebrity looks, piece of the week, and even fashion hauls. I will be doing it in video and blog form.

Okay, so this week I picked a few trends I love:

#1: KIMONO JACKETS

• inspired by the traditional japanese kimonos, these lightweight, baggy jackets are perfect for throwing on over any summer/spring outfit.
• floral is especially in right now since it is spring
• they are best worn over a simple tank, and shorts
• I actually saw some cute ones at wal-mart today for 16$!

I love how Fergie wore it, I would definitely wear one like that.

#2: CUTOUT/KEYHOLE DRESSES

• these are such cute dresses you can literally wear anywhere, to work, school, a party, formal dinner, or even just the grocery store!
• the cutout pieces add its own little accessory, which I think you wouldn't have to even wear any necklaces or bracelets
• many different styles ranging from edgy to girly, makes it uniques for everyone

I really fell in love when I saw Katy Perry wearing one awhile ago:

Perfect Date Night Looks

So it's date night, don't know what to wear?! Well here's some inspiration!

The first one is a girly look, it would be perfect if your stye inspiration is Taylor Swift, or Selena Gomez, this would be great for you.

Second, is a colourful style, this would be great if you like celebrity styles like Katy Perry or Nicki Minaj. It's almost colour blocking, but not quite. It's fun and happy.

Next would be an edgier option. This would be for the ladies who adore celebs like Kat Von D, Rihanna, or even a little bit of Snooki's style. Leather and animal print will make your date's eyes glue to you!

Next, would be a more boho-ish look. The dress is a bit short, and looks like a tee-shirt, which I love. If your style icons include people like Mary Kate and Ashley Olsen, or Miley Cyrus, this is for you!

Finally, would be a simple casual look. Pretty much this is for anyone who isn't really fashion forward. It includes basic pieces that you either already have, or are found at most stores.

Hope you enjoyed :)

Spring Trend Alert!

Where do I start? I LOVE MAXI SKIRTS!! I have been to at leads 5 malls and shopping plazas, looking for the perfect maxi skirt. This sounds easy right? Wrong. Firstly, it's hard because I am on the border of being 6ft tall, so finding a maxi that is actually a maxi, is impossible. Also, I really want a white chiffon high low elastic waist skirt. Once again, impossible. Anyways, I did though, through my searching, find out that they are pretty much sold at ever other store out there. So it's safe to assume that they are an obvious trend. I feel like they can be a hit or miss item. You can either wear it, and let it wear you, or you can wear it and make it one awesome statement piece.

I didn't really categorize these as I normally would, I just used inspiration from other fashion sites, everyday life, tv, etc, blah blah blah! So on with it, here it is...

I love how stylish this looks. Red is such a fabulous colour, it's sexy, so is this high waisted maxi skirt. The slit itself is a statement. I kept the accessories more simple because of the red and the slit.

This look is very boho, and casual. This maxi is so perfect, but has to be worn with a simple top.

This one os really simple, but perfect for a winter spring transition! and isn't the purple great!

This one is definitely my favourite! This is how I would wear it, it is casual yet classy.

I made this one ESPECIALLY for you bargain hunters! the whole outfit here is only 93$! And I thought it was so cute and girly!

Hope you enjoyed, have a great weekend :)

OOTD: 02-14-2012

I know I've been m.i.a the last week, but you can blame tests on that!

But I'm back in action this week! I have exciting posts to share and maybe a tutorial?

So anyways, I had a huge shopping trip on Saturday, 6 whole hours, 3 malls, and a few downtown shops. I got this great orange knit sweater from Forever21. It's a huge step for me because I am known for wearing black head to toe every day of the year (with occasional greys and navies).

I paired it with a bandage dark plum high waist skirt, also from Forever21.

As for accessories, I chose a infinity scarf (or circle scarf) from H&M, and a Kenneth Cole Reaction clutch from Winners.

And the boots are from Payless Shoes, they are soooo comfy!

Jeffery Campbell Litas

Oh maa gawd. I love these shoes. I feel like they are popping up more and more everyday. They are very unique heels, something that I have not ever seen before. They are structured like a platform, where there is a heel and a platform on the ball of your foot so it isn't bent like a ballerina. The heel on these are wooden, which is a statement shoe wise. I made a set according to my style, to show you how I would wear these. I think these are really a more causal dressy shoe. That made no sense, but basically they make your dressier outfit look a little more casual, and also, I wouldn't recommend wearing these with like yoga pants or sweats.

How I Would Wear it:

what id wear litas by holladall

As you can tell I dont like colour. I love cross body bags though, I own at least 10.

You can pretty much buy litas anywhere online, here are a few sites to buy the real Jeffery Campbell's:

Nasty Gal - 162$ (huge selection)

Urban Outfitters - 160$

Sole Struck - 160$

If you aren't willing to dish out almost 200$ for the real deal, then I found a site where they have replicas:

Make Me Chic - 30-40$ (if you click on 'ankle boots' they have more colours/patterns)

Hope you enjoyed!

Different Ways to Wear a LBD

The classic little black dress. There are many ways you can style this. You don't eve have to style it really, but if you want to make it your own, theres different ways to make it work. I found this LBD from TopShop, its 87$, I think it's a good price for a staple piece that you can wear anywhere, to any event. It's strapless, which normally I would say not to go for, but I love how it cinches in the middle, making anyone look slimmer and accentuate your waist. But, you wouldn't even have to get this exact piece, or anything I've paired it with, it is just inspiration.
