On-going Trends

On-going Trends

On-going Trends by fashion-stars1 featuring antique gold jewelry

Hola everyone!

So this is my first Polyvore set post so i really do hope you guys like this! Anyways, so this post is mainly about on-going trends as seen in the title up thur^

Trends of the month!


Trend 1: Colors
I huge trend this month is colors so people aren't really afraid to wear neons or pastels mainly on their bottoms such as shorts, skirts and all. Another thing is through bags like sachele's which is another trend that is popular nowadays- i don't really need to further explain it...

Trend 2: Bracelets
Stacking bracelets is another popular trend because it just look so pretty and there's just something that makes it look nice- not really that explainable but it is nice to look at, sort of like nail polish! Looks pretty thats why you put it on!

Trend 3: Shirts
So there's a huge trend now for sheer, peter pan collars, and lace shirt nowadays and to be honest i find that this trend is the absolute cutest trend, i don't really know but i am not the collar person but when it comes to this- its an exemption! it may seem formal but you can dress it down with shorts and sneakers.

Trend 4: Vintage Necklaces (Or vintage-y ones)
VIntage-y necklaces are another thing especially long necklaces which is what i think will never die, because to be honest i think this trend is to die for, ok i may say 'die' a whole lot but i mean it! You can pair this with almost any outfit you want!

Trend 5: High Low Skirts
So it may be a skirt, dress or shirt but this is another huge trend, personally i don't want the back of the skirt to be floor length but somewhere near the back of your knee most probably, i'd only wear a long one if it was formal or something but it can be for just normal outings and i really like this skirt mostly with shirts you can tuck in tanks, shirts, almost anything goes with it and it comes in different colors as well.

Trend 6: Heels
Now we all know this is a never stopping trend but nowadays platforms are very in, it may seem so high but thats what you think- platforms are actually at least 3 inches and thats a bit cheating because the one that adds an inch that makes it seem tall is the platform which isn't the actual heel since it's on the sole of the foot.

So hope you guys like this post, sorry i haven't posted for awhile and that this post isn't as good as the others! Please follow us and feel free to comment!

Hodge-Podge

By: Daphne
Sweater - Mango
Hey-oh! So let's talk about the sweater/cardigan. I got it on SALE, so don't think I'm rich for shopping at Mango hehe! I usually don't go for sweaters because I feel really hot in them where I live. I couldn't pass this up though because the fabric was so soft and thin. My sister said it looks really 'preppy', I think it's the color. One last note: I got it in XL instead of my size (S) because I wanted it like an oversized sweater. So don't be afraid to try things in different sizes because you never know, it might give off a different look that you like more.

Sandals - Boutique

Earrings - gift.
















My stash of rings that will continue to expand
All - Unknown or in Boutiques
RINGS
Rings. My current obsession. These little things can make any outfit even more special than it already is. Here are some reasons why I love rings:
  • You can STACK them - Stack them as high as you want! On as many fingers as you want! Make sure you can bend your fingers though. XD
  • You can use them as NECKLACES - Just string them onto a chain and you're good to go!
  • They can be really CHEAP - Especially if none of them have gems.
  • They BLEND - Meaning, if you're trying to go for one look, you can wear a ring that doesn't follow that 'look', and it won't clash.



Pants - Esprit
This isn't connected to anything but I just want to show you what I got recently! It was 50% off, and I'm such a sucker for sales, so I couldn't resist. I love it because it's so different from my other pants (I'll show you guys an outfit with these SOON.). Plus, the color was gorgeous!.

So see you guys next time, and look out for our interview with The RaNdOm Girlies! http://therandomgirlies.blogspot.com

Ocean Breathes Salty

By: Daphne

Hey guys! So I went on a vacation before the end of school. I went to....the beach!

Day 1
Top: Boutique
Leggings: Forever 21
Polo: Unknown
Shorts: Unknown
Bathing suit: Arena
A: I wore this on the flight...When on a flight wear something comfortable, you don't want to be fussing on an airplane! My personal favorite thing to wear on flights are leggings and loose/baggy shirts.
B: For the second outfit I wore my tankini top as a shirt. But I covered it up with an open polo shirt. Haha I didn't know I could wear bathing suits as clothes until I read a magazine. :))

Day 2
Top: Boutique
Shorts: Zara
Sandals: Holster
 This part was mostly sightseeing so I wore something I could move around in. :)

Day 3
Bikini: Speedo
Romper: Unknown
Blouse: Unknown
Boardshorts: SM
 A: This day we went snorkeling, and we had to take a boat to the island so I wore this blouse as a cover-up.
B: After snorkeling we headed to the second resort so I changed into a romper cover-up.

 Day 4:
Shorts: Zara
Tank: H&M
Hat: souvenir
This day was all just relaxing...we walked on the beach and I got a henna!!!

Necklace: Souvenir 

Summer Trends:

~ Nautical themed clothing
     a simpler term for this is sailor esque clothing. Nowadays a lot of people like wearing tanks that have stripes and anchors theme which is what i am in to as well nowadays, it perfect for the summer a good thing to pair this up with is a hat may it be a fedora or just a normal beach hat, it also goes well with another popular trend which is colored or printed shorts.

~Printed or Colored Shorts
        this summer and spring a lot of people nowadays love color blocking so people tend to add color through a pair of shorts instead of wearing plain jean shorts. Its a good way to add a pop of color to a plain tank or shirt, you can wear this with prints as well so that the textures may seem interesting.

~ Knitted sweaters
        sweaters nowadays are very in as well as knitted ones, it can be a great cover up for a swimsuit or just as a top to make it look like a layed back comfy outfit you can wear when its cold -which is another good advantage! You can use it as a cover up to when you go to the beach!

~ Tribal Accessories
     this is yet another popular trend which i find never ends since you can wear it at any time may it be day or night so this is something that i think can never go out of style! The good thing about this is you can stack these accessories and they'd still look casual, classy or just something fun!

Strike 2


Hola everyone! Sorry you haven't seen any posts like this recently! It's just that summer is almost over and yeah!
So this was Daphne's outfit, and i absolutely loved her pants! They we're a pastel pink- and in jean material of course!

So here's a tip i told Daphne:
If your jeans are to short that it goes up to your ankles you can cut it and turn it into shorts, fray the edges add studs on the pockets whatever you like! As long as they still fit of course! ;)

Her necklaces were adorable as well, there we're 3 and they were all vintage looking, so you can stack necklaces like how you can stack bracelets and rings! ;)


So here's an outfit our friend wore, and jsyk this was when we had Photography Class so yeah!
Another trend now is sheer clothing which is awesome!

So you can put something under of course like a tank or if your brave enough a bandeau! :)


Lastly this was my outfit, I really like the shirt- and it had some embellishments on the top which is why i love this outfit. The shoes- was featured in a previous post and NO they weren't as painful as they were in the first day i wore them which happened to be during our first photography class but it DID cause my 'heeled' blister to peel... well like what Christian Loubitin said his shoes aren't about comfort but how it looks. You gotta sacrifice things ya know...

Anyways, i tucked in the shirt in my shorts just so that it could keep things interesting, i also added on a necklace but its not that seen... And i decided to wear my shoes just to add a pop of color which is an option, but you can use colorful accessories, or a colorful bag, shirt, shorts. You can also put patterns as well.

Tutorial Frenzy!

Hey guys! So i just want to talk about the trends that have been going on this Spring and explain more things about it and what to wear!




SO since color blocking is soooooo in nowadays i decided to share with you guys this little DIY tutorial on how to make old boring jeans into amazing rainbow colored jeans! Now your probably wondering what is color blocking?

~ Wearing just blocks of color!
~  But there's spring color blocking! Which is just the overly done exaggerated version of course!

Spring Color Blocking!

A few tips!

~ the louder the better! Obviously never take this opportunity for granted! Because a pop of color is all you need for a wow factor!

~ DO NOT hesitate on wearing colors that clash! Since its so common to use coordinating colors why not try pink and red? Or if your a bit conscious then just use complementary, and it can never go wrong!

~ Simplicity makes everything better! When accessorizing, try using neutral colors- including grey since it is now considered one why not?

~ ANDDDD use only 3 colors. THREE. If you go above and beyond- you'll look like a christmas tree or a rubix cube. And it is not cute. So no. 2-3 colors only.

~ An easier way to figure out what color goes with what is to use a color wheel and whatever is in it's opposite is for sure the color you should be wearing!


Obviously since it is a spring kind of post we should pair it up with some spring-y nails, and what better then floral print nails! Basically there has to be some floral print somewhere! :)

BUT if you want to go out there neons are now quiet popular so go ahead and put on some neon pink nail polish! That is of course of your not that much of an expert at nail art, but if you are, then i suggest you play around with nail designs and neons, why not try a neon tribal design? Or a neon zebra print? It really is up to you.





Accessories of course is another must have but like what i said earlier they have to be neutrals if your outfit contains color blocking already, but just to keep things interesting you can make this, and this has several accessories such as pearl flower earrings, braided fabric bracelete and a ribbon and chain bracelete, and of course they don't have to be the same color again they can be turned into neutral colors for your outfits sake just so that it doesn't go full on rubix cube!



And last but not least why not finish the look with a DIY spring headband and simple hairstyle? Now if your outfit is already out there and has color blocking (just to remind you guys again :D) then i suggest you go for a neutral colored headband, but if your outfit is toned down then don't be afraid to pizzaz it a bit with some colorful statement accessories!


Soooo hope this helped you guys get an idea on what your spring outfit should look like! So hope you guys enjoyed this and if you did then please subscribe! Feel free to comment down below and enter our ongoing contest - HG Mocking Jay pin!

Talk to you fashionista's soon! Baboosh!

Organizing your closet!


by: DaphneFor my blog


Made on polyvore.com

Does your closet look like a natural disaster just happened? Mine used to be like that, but while I had a free day, I sat down and took everything out of the closet. Here are some tips on how to get it more organized!

  • Before refolding and stacking, look through your clothes and set aside stuff you don't really want anymore, or don't fit. Look through them again and see if they're worth keeping (or worth modifying).

NEXT
  • Pants and leggings is one stack, shorts and skirts in another. This is because they're similar in length. Though I suggest long skirts should be hung.
  • For shirts, keep tank tops, blouses, regular t-shirts, and croptops/ drapey shirts in different stacks. If you don't have that much space, you can combine t-shirts with croptop/drapey shirts.
  • Some people organize their shirts by color. I don't do this because there are to many colors XD, and even if you don't organize it by color, it's still easy to see what colors they are. If it works for you then good job!
  • I suggest keeping 'house clothes', and sleeping clothes in a different place altogether.
  • Keep underwear in a drawer. This is kinda obvious.

Hang jackets/coats/dresses. You can fold FLOWY vests, but hang stiff or big vests.

FINALLY
What do you do with all those clothes you don't want/don't fit?
  • Give it away to charity
  • Give it to someone who's holding a garage sale
  • Give it to your smaller sister/friend/relative
Because I don't have an outfit, here is a Fashion set I made on polyvore.com (this website is AMAZING XD) :
