Monday Mash-up!

Since we skipped out on the Friday Find & Sunday Style, I am bringing you both to start your week off! After a long weekend of shenanigans & relaxation, we all deserve to take the time and check out the cutest printed blazers & a styling featuring Wildfox Couture. 

First up, we have the oh-so-gorgeous and fun printed blazers. They seem to be everywhere now-a-days and they won't be going anywhere anytime soon. You can turn a plain look into something exciting by just throwing on a floral blazer or something with a little more edge & flair. Check out some of our favorite printed blazers below...

We suggest keeping it low-key & mixing these fun prints with a simple black tank or neutral colored dress. You don't want to take the eye away from these amazing pieces! 

Next up, we have our Sunday Style featuring Wildfox Couture, Naven & Michael Antonio (you can find these pieces at ShopModerne).

Pair the Wildfox Couture cool-relaxed look with the upbeat Naven aesthetic to create a look that you can rock out! Keep the attention on the statement tee by downplaying the shoes in the form of a black pump or bootie. Add a hint of color with a simple necklace in either blue or green. 

Items featured above:

1. Wildfox Couture Hippie Crewneck - $62

2. Naven Sequin Mini-skirt - $154

3. Black Booties from Michael Antonio- price varies (endless.com)

Friday Find: Wide Leg Pants

In the times of flower power & care-free living, the wide leg pant was one of the most worn statement piece. You saw all of the hippies dancing around in them at concerts, celebrities strutting down red carpets and even your occasional fashion-sensible man rocking them on the streets! To pay homage to these timeless trousers, we wanted to to highlight them in our Friday Find this week! 

It is easy to see that you can pair these trousers with a bold top (as seen on the top left) or with a long-sleeve sweater. We even would dare to say you can add a fun knitted crop top! Don't have a crop top? Take a button-up shirt and knot that baby! 

Featured below are some of our pieces that we think would fit perfectly!

Oh, and Happy (almost) New Year!

Friday Find: Statement Tights!

Here we are again and we are bringing you yet another Friday Find that we just can't live without! After watching Fashion Police the other day, I spotted this little duo - statement tights.

Check out some of our favorite tights that you can see RiRi, Selena & Miss Kourt rocking!

Love It or Hate It? Bedazzled Eyelashes, as seen on Anne Hathaway

So, this look isn't for everyday wear but what are our feelings towards the bedazzled fake eyelashes?

Oscars 2011 host, Anne Hathaway, rocked the crystal sprinkled fake eyelashes last night.. for the duration of the show. Seems to be getting more buzz than the 7 dress changes she went through.

So, it might a little intense, but if you can't wear them for the Oscars, when can you? Or are they entirely too tacky? They kind of remind me of when people used to wear crystal clips (or whatever they were..)in their hair.

For those of you who are interested in this trend... you don't have to go bedazzle on your own... Ardell offers a line of lashes called ELEGANT EYES and have all kinds of jewels on them.

What's the verdict? Love it or hate it?
