3 Thankful Things

November 24, 2010 Michelle fashion, inspiration, Shoes

Happy Thanksgiving, loves! Time to name things we are thankful for. Last year, It was about body image. This year its not gonna be so deep. Here are 3 things I’m thankful for about fashion/style/my closet. Lame, but I’ve been obsessing for 3 days over what I’m wearing on turkey day.

1. I’m thankful comfy is cute. I heart leggings and oversize tops. This equals the perfect fall/winter ensemble. At my work, girls come in all the time wearing this and look adorable. While it depends on the width of the top, it might not look good on my shape but overall its a pretty flattering look on everyone.

2. I’m thankful for other fashion blogs, especially Outfit of the Day bloggers! Miss Vinyl Ahoy, Kendi Everyday, and my all time/check everyday Love Maegan give me tons of inspiration.

3. I’m thankful for my collecton of shoes. I <3 every single pair I have! I have a lot of heels that I wish I could wear on more occasions but I LOVE them. I can’t wait to wear them all with tights when it gets colder here! Curse you 80 degree weather on NOVEMBER 24th. Not a happy camper today. Anyway, I hope to add a few more boots this Xmas.

What are you thankful for this year?

Trend Alert: Clogs are in, but I maybe out.

August 17, 2010 Michelle fashion

NEWSFLASH:

Let’s talk about one of this fall’s biggest trends: clogs

I must warn you I’m slightly horrified. I think they are *gasp* ugly, and hard to wear! Chanel brought’em back and now they are everywhere! They’ve become mainstream, and exactly on trend for the fall. Target and Aldo have CLOG categories on their websites!

I have a few problems with these shoes

A) I’m short, when I wear them, I look like I have hooves and even shorter legs.

B) I’m confused how to wear these, I guess with pants only right?

C) I get horrific flashbacks to when I was 10 and had a pair of patent leather black glitter clogs. Oh Yes, I did. While I loved them at the time, looking back that was a bad fashion moment!

D) I’m clumsy, I need a strap on the back or I’m gonna fall flat on my face.

I’m not completely sold on this trend and probably won’t participate!

What I really want to know is, what do you think? Are you going to wear clogs this fall/winter season? How will you rock yours?

P.S. I like the look of these “clogs” from Target though they don’t seem so “clog-like” to me.

Hhm…I see a visit to target in my future and at least 2 pairs of shoes!

Quick Style Guide: Mens Casual stepped up!

March 9, 2010 Michelle fashion

A few days a go I had a twitter follower ask for a few tips on how to dress up a casual wardrobe. Pretty easy right? Well this follower happens to be male! Men’s fashion is an area that I usually don’t do, but let’s try it out.

Just to be clear, I judge Men’s fashion on if my boyfriend would wear it or not. I love some of the runway looks, admire them, and then think “he would never wear that” So these tips come as if my boyfriend asked me.

Quick Tips for dressing up a Causal Wardrobe

Throw on a big metal watch!

Never underestimate the power of a watch. The bigger the better. I have a friend who is a t-shirt, jeans, boots wearing guy (its Texas, they all wear boots). But when he puts on a gold watch, I always find myself commenting on how good it looks. It instantly adds a sleek “man-with-things-to-do, must- have-watch-to keep-track” vibe.

Try a darker wash jean!

Darker denim is just sleeker. That’s just the fact. Women can get away with dressing up darker jeans for a more put together look. It works the same way for men. A darker wash of denim will seem more formal.

Try a different pair of shoes!

Always wear tennis shoes with your button down shirts? That instantly makes an “outfit” more casual. Trade for a nice pair of loafers or slip on shoes. Another way to instantly add a touch of dress, wear the same color shoes and belt. Makes you looks incredibly well put together, thus dressier.

Go graphic, but not logo!

Take your t-shirt to a new level. Try a graphic print. AVOID logo tees, phrases tees, and certain brands. (These are the brands I recommend avoiding and why….you however are allowed to make your own decisions. —Ed Hardy, Christian Audiger, Affliction, Tapout) These brands sometimes make the wearer look like a wannabe UFC fighter or just a plain d-bag.

There ya go! How to dress up a causal wardrobe-Men’s edition! Maybe I’ll try Men tips more often…..

Got any more tips? Let me know I’ll add them!

Dead Winter Days= Dreaming of Spring Feet!

January 13, 2010 Michelle fashion, Shoes

We are now in the dark days of winter, where the fun and anticipation of holidays is over, and now we anxiously wait for spring. I love my boots and tights; I really and truly do. My collection is perfect and I wear either, or both almost everyday. But deep down inside, my feet are already itching for spring and summer shoes!

Pretty painted toe nails, sumptuous sandals, cute flip-flops, killer wedges! *sigh* I’m especially looking forward to wedges. I happen to be getting married and honeymooning this spring. My mind is wandering with all the pretty wedges I want to wear to wander around some tropical locale!

I’m slowly thinking of a check list to the kind I need:

White cork
Black Wood
Brown/bronzy
A fun colorful pair

Shoes and packing are a painful topic for me, since I usually want to take all of them and should probably only take 3 at most. I like wedges the best. Since I’m pretty short, the height is always the biggest plus, and the solid base doesn’t make my feet hurt. Here a few pair I’m lusting after for spring/summer:
