How to Style Yourself in Winter

By Amra B.

I love getting dressed up in winter: I can finally layer my clothes, pull out all my beautiful statement jackets and scarves, and wear all the trendy boots I can handle. In a way, my style really comes alive during winter. I also love the idea of wearing classic monotone wardrobe with just a pop of color on my lips. My choice for lipstick is a classic red; however, bright pinks and oranges can be equally fun (and refreshingly unexpected). 

Below are some quick tips on how to achieve great style this winter: 


1. Go for a faux fur jacket: throwing on a fun faux fur jacket can make any jeans and t-shirt outfit look glamorous! For an every day look, I love to wear a monotone black or beige faux fur jacket; they are versatile and work well with my many colorful scarves and hats. 


2. Add a pair of pleather pants: I have been a huge fan of pleather pants for some time now. They are timeless, edgy, and chic, and can make any outfit instantly trendy and modern. 


3. Add a white shirt: An oversized white shirt adds a touch of freshness and makes any outfit look just a little more polished. A white shirt is one of the most versatile pieces and works well with almost everything in my wardrobe. 


4. Add chunky statement jewelry: In winter, chunky jewelry stands out the most against the layered look. I often find that any delicate jewelry can easily get lost when paired up with chunky sweaters and jackets. 


5. Choose fun boots with medium heel: As much as I love an amazing pair of high heel boots, the ones I get to wear the most are the boots with a medium to small heel. I suggest investing in a pair of black boots you can easily incorporate into your wardrobe. I also prefer a medium heel to flat boots; they work well with dresses and skirts.  


6. Go for a statement bag: As winter wardrobe often gets to be monotone, adding a statement bag is the easiest way to make your outfit “POP.” I am really into silver and gold purses (and clutches) right now; however, red, yellow, and blue can be equally fun!

How to Rock Your Sneakers Outside the Gym

By Kati Miller Unless you have been living under a rock, you know that sportswear is the new “it” trend this season. But pairing sneakers with our everyday outfits can seem like quite a daunting task, especially when we’re not wearing just jeans and a tee. Here is a list of suggestions on how to wear this fashion trend and stay stylish while keeping comfortable with this new style... 1. Ditch the chunky shoe for cult trainers. Don’t be afraid to wear a nice pair of cult trainers or saddle shoes as a light alternative to a chunky shoe. Hogan makes an adorable pair of wing tips and Nike makes a much more affordable version of the mesh cults as well. This style works especially well with dresses, skirts, and skinnies! The Lovely Pepa (Spanish fashion blogger) 2. Clashing Colors. Dark and light hues now go together!  Contrary to what you have been taught in the past, clashing colors is not only in but it’s the must have look.  Try to incorporate a color from your outfit into the ...

How to Decorate Your Home For Fall

By Avery Carruthers Who here is sad that summer is quickly coming to an end? I don't know about you, but as the days come to a close, I become more and more excited for fall! In Seattle, fall is an amazing time of year that I often welcome with open arms. The air is crisp, the leaves turn brown, and the pumpkin spice lattes are in full effect (even though they came early this year).  However, I understand that not everyone is as eager for fall as I am. For some, fall represents the beginning of a new school year, or the transitioning of one job to another. Nonetheless, I am here to challenge all of YOU to stop dreading autumn and to EMBRACE it! Through these helpful home interior design pieces, hopefully they will help you look forward to the new season.  How to Decorate Your Home For Fall: 1.) Pumpkins  I could go on and on about my love for pumpkins. You name it, from the pumpkin patch to carving a pumpkin for Halloween, I go all out. Thanks to Pinterest, there are some...

Charlie Chaplin: My Style Icon

Image
By Elma B. I have always been a huge fan of the the Charlie Chaplin era, particularly the style from his iconic films  The Tramp (1915) and The Modern Times (1936). The legendary films were dominated by wide legged pants and bowler hats. I added my own modern twist to the look by including these wide legged overalls with polkadots; white sneakers, all the rage this season; and a simple white tank top. (Outfit details below...) My Style Inspiration: Charlie Chaplin While the classics, like the Charlie Chaplin films, remain a definite influence and an inspiration on my style choices, I always throw-in the everyday modern pieces. Who inspires your everyday style? Leave a comment below, I love hearing from you! Until next time, xoxo from the Upper West Side of Manhattan!
