Evil Queen Dress Inspiration from Cherie Sposa
Wednesday, January 4th, 2012
Fairytales are everywhere, so it’s no longer I saw so much major inspiration from the Cherie Sposa 2012 Evening Collection. I saw the perfect innocent princess dress, and also the perfect evil queen dress. Check it out and tell me I’m wrong!
The black. The ruffles. The tulle layering. The plunging v neck. The sculpting. The sheerness. THE EVERYTHING OF IT! If you wore that you’d strut around and feel powerful and maybe a little bit wicked. Can’t you see just about any evil queen in a fairytale wearing this dress? Like Lana Parrilla on Once Upon a Time, for instance?

And do you want princess dresses for women? Well, I think this particular one is beyond perfect. I could see it in a fabulous movie. These would obviously make for really stylish dresses or stylish halloween costume dresses if you can afford them!

Pretty Little Liars Halloween Episode Costumes – Copy Emily’s Fields Style
Monday, October 24th, 2011
While it’s hard to get around buying a cheesy costume, the accessories you use can be things that you have or buy that can be stylish and worn on days other than Halloween. Native American Jewelry is (almost) always really pretty. And you know we always love to focus on stylish halloween costumes! Why? Because generic, ugly costumes make everyone sad.
The necklace and bracelets I’m showing here are things you can easily wear sans costume.
Emily Fields Style in the Halloween Episode of Pretty Little LiarsDress Like Pretty Little Liars Spencer Hastings for Halloween: Mary Queen of Scots Costume
Saturday, October 22nd, 2011
For Halloween, Spencer Hastings donned a Mary Queen of Scots Costume. To dress like Spencer, look for Elizabethan Costumes. The only Mary Queen of Scots costume examples I see are pretty ugly or have to be custom made and are thusly tres expensive.
Now, about a Mary Queen of Scots Costume wig… This will be hard. I have to be honest! You’ll want to get a short red wig that has curly hair. And that could be a problem. Plus, to be Mary Queen of Scots, it really needs to be red and curly. And since that’s pretty impossible to find… I have a suggestion! Look for a red, curly wig that you like. Now, you could cut it, yes. Maybe Youtube has haircut tutorials… I don’t know. But what I’d suggest is using clips and bobby pins to clip the hair up to make it appear short. If it’s a very long wig, you can even try to do a hairstyle of the time period. Start by parting in the middle (if possible.)

Sequined Dresses Under 100Top row L-R
Calvin Klein Sequin Front Mesh Dress from Zappos, here. This sequin dress is why I love Calvin Klein. It’s so effortless and easy and sexy without looking fussy or overworked. It oozes sex appeal, and yet it’s a semi-long dress! It has a flapper dress kind of feel to it, even though there’s no fringe. But it’s the right shape, cut, and length. This dress is definitely made for a party. The back is plain black, as to not overkill the sequined dress look.

Hart of Dixie Fashion – Zoe’s Black Lace Dress with Sleeves
Friday, October 14th, 2011
Dr. Zoe Hart likes her NYC inspired fashion, and we think it’s (mostly) nice. In a recent episode of Hart of Dixie, Hart wore a Timo Weiland dress with a black lace feel to it. Your LBD (little black dress) can be more creative if you let yourself embrace all the lace options.
Hart of Dixie Fashion Black Lace Dresses with SleevesSequin Hearts Dress, Cap Sleeves Lace Belted Mini – Macys – Here Doesn’t the model look like a blonde Michelle Trachtenberg? I know the sleeves are kind of flimsy, but they count. And the price is nice for this dress. It’s very hippie and/or boho chic.
Juicy Couture Three Quarter Sleeve Lace Dress – Bloomingdales – Here It’s expensive, but can we just love on it for a second? It reminds me of what a doll would wear. Or what Aria Montgomery from Pretty Little Liars would wear.

Gossip Girl Purses – Season 5 – Mulberry – Get the Look for Less
Monday, October 3rd, 2011
Gossip Girl season 5 “Beauty and the Feast” showcases lots of high fashion. And an especially great Mulberry Satchel. But its hefty price makes it out of range for most of us – even though we’re not peasants! So, what can we do? We find something similar. The color is the best part about the bag! Right? So, just search for that color. I did. And I found something pretty sweet…

Copy Cassie Blake Style from The Secret Circle!
Thursday, September 15th, 2011
Want to know how to dress like Cassie Blake from The Secret Circle? Let’s go into one of her featured outfits of the pilot!
Her dress is unbuttoned and layered over a white t-shirt. Look for something like a floral chiffon dress. Mod Cloth has lots of dresses around the $50 mark that might work. And yes, a floral dress may look sweet on its own, but when put together with other elements it toughens up. This particular dress has a built in brown vegan belt, ruffled neckline, and wooden button closed keyhole. I like the way Cassie’s dress is loose but she adds definition with the belt.
For more Cassie Blake style, you’ll want a nice leather jacket. GROAN – I know. They’re expensive! But you can shop around for a sale. This is an investment piece, and if you buy one that’s too cheap it’s likely going to look exactly that – cheap. You might have to save up for this piece. But it’ll be worth it and you’ll keep it literally forever.
Now. her boots almost look like rain boots. I opted for suede, rather than leather. And these have a slight green tone. Boots will be big for 2011, and boots in general are just great. Especially when they’re comfortable.
Accessories for this look include danglin ... Read More
What is a Midi Skirt? And how to Shop 2011 Styles
Monday, September 5th, 2011
Now that it’s a trend, lots of people seem to be asking “okay, what is a midi skirt?” Well, I want you to think about Mad Men. No, not just because it’s an amazing show, but because women in the 60′s wore midi skirts. A Midi skirt is a calf-length that is either flared or more tapered in a pencil cut style. It shows just enough skin that it can be perfect for almost any season. As long as it comes to your knee and stays above your ankles, it’s a midi skirt.
Stylish Daniel J Robson told Telegraph.Co.Uk that, “With this length it is all about whether you’re a Betty or a Joan,Are you wholesome, feminine and full-skirted, or knowing, alluring and wiggling in a fitted pencil shape?”For Midi Skirt inspiration check out pictures of Marilyn Monroe, Audrey Hepburn, Grace Kelly and Jackie Kennedy Onassis.
If we listen to ASOS (and why not!) they say: “Take your midi skirt into the new season with a pair of winter sandals. Full A-line shapes worn with a chunky tan wedge retain a nod to the ‘70s, while a hip-skimming, midi-length pencil skirt looks fresh teamed with ankle socks and platform sandals.”

Mullet Dresses for Sale: From Chic Casual to Fancy Formal
Friday, August 26th, 2011
The mullet dress is a 2011 trend that you might also hear referred to as a “hi lo dress” or a “long and short dress.” Personally, I think calling it a mullet dress is too fun to pass up for any reason.
