Make The Summery Side Braid Last Through Fall

I’ll admit the side braid is a summery hairstyle. I’ve been rocking it all summer. Well I live in Florida so I can still get away with it. ;) Sorry to rub it in. Anyways, you can make this fuss free, cute hairstyle work for the Fall by adding a hot fall trend to it.

Feathers have gone from hair extensions to earrings and now made their way to the top of the head onto headbands. You can get these anywhere. Target has a bunch.

Don’t have time to get ready for school in the morning? Just loosely braid your hair to rest over one shoulder and add a cool feather headband to match your outfit and add instant style without taking an hour to do your hair. Let some bangs or pieces hang out and frame your face. Slightly messy is cool.

Beyonce rocks a side braid at her launch party for her new fragrance Pulse. She doesn’t even look pregnant, damn, she looks good! P.S. Notice how a simple side braid be done dressy for a special event such as this. It’s all about accessories which dress up any look!

Jessica Alba looks carefree and gorgeous in her side braid.

Snooki Goes to Jail in Style in Italy

Surprise surprise.. Snooki gets into trouble and goes to jail again by crashing into a cop car in Italy. At least she went lookin’ like a lil G! I searched high and low to find studded chain sunglasses like Snooki’s but the closest I could find was plain old chained shades. Good enough! These shades are a hot trend seen on celebs like Rihanna, Lady Gaga and Amber Rose. I got my own pair from Ebay. You can get them at Lady Gaga’s awesome sunglasses site: House of Sunglasses. They come in many colors like red, blue, pink and more.

House of Sunglasses only $9.99!!

The Hottest Trends Right Now

Mismatched Nails


There’s so many ways to go with this one, like having different designs on each nail or animal print decals and what not, but I kept it simple by painting every other nail pink and black. I kept my toenails plain pink though; didn’t want to go overboard. Send in photos of your mismatched nails to FashionFeenster@aol.com.

Leopard Print Shoes

Such a sexy print on a shoe! I was at the mall the other day and there was nothing but leopard print shoes in platforms, flats, and stilettos. These I tried on from Express. Oh how I wanted them. They are $69.90 at Express.com. They also come in a stiletto. Tip: Red toenails look HOT with leopard print shoes!

Feather Earrings

Especially peacock feathered earrings! Peacock colors are just beautiful! Forget the feather hair extensions and throw on some fun, big feathered earrings and just look like you have feathered hair extensions.

Glittered Converse Kicks

Totally diggin’ the sparkly Converse sneakers that are taking over shelves everywhere. They come in many colors such as glittery pink, black, blue, gold and more to spice up your casual look!

Skinny Belts

Out with the chunky belts worn at the waist and in with dainty, skinny belts in neutral colors placed around the belly button to add a feminine, tousled touch to blouses. I’ve seen a lot with a flower at the center but I like it more offset and small or else it looks silly having a big flower on ur belly button.

Stripes

Fairly thick, bold stripes are everywhere: on tops, skirts, even shoes. They look hot in a metallic blue pattern or even in a sexy lacy pattern as seen here on the model from Forever21.com. It works well when you combine the two as long as the stripes are going in the same direction. You don’t want people to get dizzy looking at you.

Jumpsuits

Long pant jumpsuits replace long dresses for nice evenings out on the town. Go as short as the ankle but no rompers..leave that for the summer time. Both wide legged and skinny legged jumpsuits are in. Add pretty pieces, a skinny belt, heels and a clutch to dress it up.

How to Spice Up a Little Black Dress

Ahh, the timeless little black dress. Every girl owns at least one of these, if not 2 or 3. I have like, 7. Black always works. You can get away with wearing a black dress to any single event on the planet, honestly, and it will be appropriate, I guarantee it. Black is slimming and flattering for every body type. That being said, another fun thing about little black dresses is that there’s a million different possibilities for accessorizing because everything matches black! You can go for an incredibly bold statement by wearing bright red pumps, keep it classy by sticking with fine silver jewelry, or make it edgy by throwing on a leather motorcycle jacket and some ankle boots.

Now, say you have an event coming up or you are heading out for a night on the town with the girls and you own nothing but a boring simple black dress. You still want to stand out and look different without breaking the bank and buying an entirely new dress.

It IS possible! I took one of my simple black dresses and went through all of my accessories and put together a few entirely different looks. See below to see my examples. Note: I am by no means rich and do not own brand named jewelry and accessories…I buy stylish stuff at affordable prices and almost all of my jewelry is costume jewelry. So if I can spice up a LBD with a budget so can you!

The little black dress:

LBD Look #1: Rocker Chic

Add a motorcycle jacket, studded belt, bad ass dominatrix looking shoes, some hot red lips, and you’re little black dress just got edgy.

LBD Look #2: Classic Cocktail Cutie

Add a colorful but tasteful necklace as a focal point, a bold yet dainty ring, and some pretty pink heels and you’re LBD is appropriate for any upscale event without being boring.

LBD Look #3: Glam Shabam! Diva

 

Whip out your shiniest gold shoes, dangly earrings and sparkly purse and add instant diva status to your LBD. Add va-va-voom volume to your hair or pull your hair back into a slick pony and people will mistake you for Beyonce all night.

LBD Look #4: Tough Chic/Casual Chic

Throw on a boyfriend tee under your LBD, hair in a pony, some bangles and your coolest snooties aka sneaker boots (see earlier post Bootie + Sneaker = Snootie) and people will know not to mess with you. If your LBD is snug enough, with not too much fabric that can be seen through a shirt, put the shirt over your dress so it becomes a skirt and the look becomes more casual.

LBD Look #5: Business Chic

 

Cover those sexy shoulders with a nice button up top, add a chunky or thin belt, (either will do), put the hair up in a ballerina bun, wrap a long pearl or beaded necklace around your neck 2 or 3 times (be careful it doesn’t choke you!) and add tasteful fishnet or tattoo stockings (or go without) for a stylish yet appropriate office look. No one will know this look started with just a LBD!

LBD Look #6: La Romantica

Got a cute rosy printed sweater? Try to find one that is off the shoulder or doesn’t have fully long sleeves for a sexier look that’s not too bulky. Add those pretty pink shoes & some pink lips and the boys will fall in love.

This was way too much fun playing dress up in my apartment. I could go on forever with different looks but I decided to let you guys come up with your own creative looks. Got another LBD idea? Take a picture of yourself in your LBD look & e-mail it to Fashionfeenster@aol.com and I just might feature you on Fashion Feen!
