upcoming season MUST HAVES

essentials.


To keep chic, EVERY girl must have these in stock for summer.


1) Flowy high-waisted skirts
     -- belts are your best friend
     -- you can NEVER have too many skirts. buy them in different styles, colors, and patterns, and you'll never not have anything to wear







2) Pastel Blazers
    -- the "boy" look is in.
    -- pair them with a flowy, scoop-neck white tee, cropped kahkis, some killer nude heels, and a statement necklace for a sweet but fierce look.

   -- wear it with basically anything
   -- perfect for carrying on a summer picnic or an afternoon date at the mall

Bohemian Rapsody?

Boho is sooooo last year. Though I still see it heavily advertised, including in the infamous Teen Vogue and Seventeen magazines, I, frankly, just never caught on. Fashion is supposed to be NEW. The boho style is just a coverup for those designers who couldn't come up with anything else clever enough. Designers are running out of ideas these days, so it seems. You see it on the runways. But how many people do you know that actually wear this style in its most extreme form out in public? ....
But then again, it IS all personal opinion. All I know is that this is one style I will not be wearing this summer.

Introduction.

fifth avenue. glory. I first went to new York city when I was 15. once I first stepped onto that street, as many will say, I fell in love. this just made me want to upgrade my fashion sense. don't get me wrong, I never dressed BAD, just never... interesting. visiting fifth avenue made me want to do something better. this is where it all started. my fashion obsession. if I'm not always the first one at my school to access the latest trend, I fall apart. i need to feel that I'm always just a step ahead of everyone else.

fashion. fashion is what gives me confidence.

I've broadened my accepted designers from then to now. I REALLY like Michael kors, Oscar de la renta, Marc Jacobs, and Donna Karan. I've learned that I have expensive taste, therefore I settle for designers that won't break the bank. I'm not one who has to have a huge name brand plastered on my clothes; I just want to be fashionable, yet sensible, which now is where I'd like to share my advice. many of us, including myself, read teen vogue. that magazine depresses me. they assume every reader is a multi-millionaire. news flash, but I'M not. you don't need to spend $583 on a new tee and $789 on a new necklace. fashion isn't always about name brands.actually, it's not at all. wear what YOU say is chic- not what your so-called 'favorite' designer tells you to. you can quote me.
ROUGE COCO SHINE. It's here. The newest lip color collection by Chanel. Personally, I can't wait to get my hands on this little piece of happiness!
Each new shade is unique from anything else, and it's perfect for spring/ summer.The reviews for this are outrageously amazing.
This is a MUST HAVE.
