Fashion 101

Fashionistas on the go. Who are they and where can they be found? Best place to look? The mirror. Us girls, want to look good not just for our boyfriends, crush or the guy in the office you've been eyeing for the last one and a half year, but mainly for ourselves. It cannot be denied that to feel good is to look good. A good pair of sandals can give us a boost of confidence like a warm up speech from a friend. If you like unique heels, designer Stuart Weitzman shows a lot footwear designs from your daily walk to the park to an evening affair. He also uses different materials from cork to wallpaper!

Gypsy top over faded jeans, your favorite 4th grade shirt and slip-ons- fashion for me is being able to wear anything and still look and feel good. The main key to Fashion is knowing what works for your body type, skin tone and the season or occasion. Think: classic. It works anywhere, anytime. Think of solid colors, monocromatic, pearls, and ribbons. You can check online stores with designers such as Michael Kors. Who’s not familiar with Michael Kors? From dresses, tops, skirts and pants to bags, bracelets, necklaces and earrings to glasses and hats – his designs scream luxury and class.
  
Reward yourself.
A fashion wardrobe is a mixture of old, new, cheap and expensive clothes, jewelry and footwear. If you want an accessory or footwear that will still be good after 5-6 years, you have to check for the craftsmanship: leather, metal and glass. Think: investment. Designers such as Cole Haan offer style without sacrificing quality. You’ll be assured that what you see is what you get.

Think: laid back. Jeans, shirts, flats and slip-ons. A stroll in the mall or just hanging out with your friends where your main aim is to have fun requires wearing something comfortable without sacrificing your fashion sense.

Regardless if you are in your bedroom, outside eating ice cream, or at a premier movie night, rest assured that fashion is as present as the very air that you breathe.
