Girls Get Cozy in Your Boyfriends Sweatshirt









We don't own almost any of our photos, most of them you can find on Pinterest. 

Sweater Weather Inspiration





Sweater Weather

No, I am not about to go off topic to talk about the new, popular song “Sweater Weather,” but I guess it wouldn’t hurt to say the song has helped bring the sweater into the minds of the men who have listened to this popular hit(did I just go off topic?).
In high school a few of my friends and I came up with an unofficial club on campus that we called sweater Thursday.  What started as a few of my friends’ dressing in sweaters every Thursday, grew into about forty to fifty high school boys and girls a week, on Thursdays, wearing sweaters. 
Though I’d like to think my popularity(?) played a large part in this growth, in hindsight it’s clear there were other key elements to this phenomenon. 

Let’s face it, if you live in Southern California, fall can be tricky with what to wear.   Short shirts are too cold, and often jackets are too warm.  Let’s take a look at the options available to us men in the sweater department, as this is the best option when the crisp air changes.



Simple patterns, like this one here, give more of an edge to any normal guy’s closet. Add more of a sophisticated look by adding a collared shirt under it. This is what our women would call the “layered look.”



And, finally, we have the cardigan. This look is so easy it would be a crime not to have one in your closet! Just throw a cardigan over your favorite V-neck and you’re ready for the day. Having good style doesn’t get much simpler than that guys! At the very least add a simple cardigan to your wardrobe, and let the sweater journey grow from there.

Religious Fashion - Low Budget Finds

Lets face it to really rock the religious and royal trends you have to spend quite a lot of money, since expensive fabrics, tayloring, and last but not leaste fabulous decorations are emphasized. So how do you do it if you do not have $1000 to spend on a Dolce & Gabbana dress? It is easier than it seems! Chains like Forever21and Asos are masters at making trends cheap and easy to wear for us normal people. You want proof? Just look at the endless amounts of t-shirts, top and jewelry you can find within the religious trend. There are crosses everywhere! But jewelry seems for this blog post almost too easy so here are some examples of t-shirts and tops from Forever21 that highlights the religious trend perfectly.

 

 

 


How to Wear a Leather Baseball Cap

The Leather Baseball Cap trend:
      A great way to add a little something extra to spice up an outfit is to add a leather baseball cap.

How to incorporate a Leather Baseball Cap:
The key is to tie in the cap with another leather piece. For instance, a leather bag, boots or skirt will seal the outfit together.

Here are some easy ways to try the trend.

Leather Fashion Update: Pretty Little Liars Style


Leather Fashion Update

Little Liars wear Leather

The much-anticipated Pretty Little Liars Halloween episode entertained in fashion as much as suspense. Showing the latest fall trends the little liars way, leather is always involved.



For Leathers Sake
 

Mona brought her "A" game stepping out in killer maroon leather pants in the commercial for preventing texting and driving. She paired sophisticated color leather with a playful blue jean moto jacket and a refreshing yellow top.

We love how this outfit switches it up from the expected jean pants and leather jacket combo. Instead try going opposite with a jean jacket and leather pants.

Colored Cropped leather



To not feel too much like a biker chick go for colored leather.
 Maroons, emeralds, or navies work beautifully for Fall. Of course with leather you always want to make it sexy, so choose a skinny cut that is cropped at the ankle for the perfect everyday stylish but casual look.

-"Find a pair of leather pants that makes your ass look fabulous."- Michael Khors (Popsugar TV Fall fashion interview)

This Season Every Girl Can Feel Like a Princess

The number one head piece this season is without a doubt the crown, or a slightly more discrete crown headband. No matter what you choose it is all about the crown jewels this fall. If you so can afford an original Dolce & Gabbana crown (and if you can find one still available since they seem to be quite popular) or have more of a student’s budget, there is something for everybody.

Dolce & Gabbana Crowns could be found at Net a Porter but are sadly sold out!




         

  
From Urban Outfitters (first one) and ASOS (the other three). Price range: $28-80.


You might wonder what you could possibly wear to a crown, well see it as a statement jewelry, because most of us are probably familiar with those by now since they have been very fashionable for seasons. I would style it just as a statement piece and let it shine alone, which means keep the rest of accessories simple. I wouldn’t wear it to jeans, obviously, but it would be a fun way to spice up the little black dress! Or okey, if you do find a Dolce & Gabbana crown then that one might need a little bit more of dressing up then just the little black dress. If you do not feel bold enough to wear a crown in your everyday life why not just do it for fun during Halloween!
