I Spy: Burn Out Tops

If you have walked into a store lately, then you know how big burn out tops are. They come in a variety of styles and colors. There are the traditional burn out tees, and Bohemian styles. No matter what kind you buy, it’s guaranteed to go with everything in your closet. Burn out tops look great with leggings and skinny jeans. Even if you hate the Bohemian trend (like I do), you’ll still want to get your hands on these.

Ask the Guru: Western One-Piece

Dear Guru:

I have a farewell coming up this month and dress code is Western one-piece. The problem is that tone-pieces doen’t look too good on me, and if they do, they are a little out of my budget. Can suggest a decent and stylish Western outfit within my budget?

-Reeta

Dear Reeta:

Try a denim jumpsuit. It’s an affordable way to pull off the Western look, plus it looks good on anyone. Besides, who’s been told that they don’t look good in denim? Just pair it with turquoise jewelry, cowboy boots, and a cowboy hat. If you want, add a plaid shirt or denim jacket. Just don’t pile it all on at once! Have fun with the look. Below, you’ll find some jumpsuits. Hope this helps!

Wearing Your Bow on Your Sleeve

Bows were supposed to go into your hair…Until now. Pixie Market has created a silver and black bow cuff. The punk rock cuffs of the past get a much needed feminime touch. Kate Spade and Gemma Lister have joined the fashion bandwagon with their sweet cuffs. There’s no denying that this trend isn’t hitting an accessory store near you. We totally see Lady GaGa wearing something like that.

Project Runway: Campbell’s Soup Challenge

This week, the designers had to design red dresses for heart survivors. I’m still having a hard time remembering these contestants’ names! Amy won with her flowy red dress. It was pretty, but it wasn’t my fave.

Best:

Jesus – I can’t believe the judges hated it! I loved that little short dress. There was NOTHING tacky about that dress and he shouldn’t have left. But when you’re in the bottom two so many times…

Anthony – His dress fit his model well.

Emilio – He has a great sense of style.

Worst:

Jeaneane – I confuse her with the other girl. Maybe because I find both of them to be boring? I don’t really like their designs either.

Mila – I don’t think her dress fit her model well. And the material looked tacky to me.

Maya – I thought her dress was odd, but that’s just me I guess.

Bubble Gum Watches

The Nooka Spring 2010 Brings an Insane Amount of Color

Nooka’s new line for spring 2010 brings fun back to watches. They have a color that will suit every person. These “Zub Zirc” watches have rubber bands. You’ll feel like you’re 7-years-old again. But these rubber watches won’t break. These are the sturdiest rubber watches you will ever have. They even include an all new display and mineral crystal lens for better clarity. The Zub Zirc watches also are more scratch resistant, which makes them even more durable.

Ask the Guru: Grey Dress with Black Tights

Dear Guru:

I have an event coming up and I’ll be wearing a grey dress with grey sandals (heels) and black tights. Is it okay if I wear the black tights with the sandals? Or will it look odd? Thank you.

-Anna

Dear Anna:

I’m sorry but a grey dress and grey shoes wouldn’t look good with black tights. It will clash miserably. Wearing two different colors stunts your height.

Wear grey tights intead. You’ll elongate the look of your legs. If you can’t find any grey tights, then try panty hose.

Hope this helps!
