Blazers & Shades

Hey Dolls :), 

It's getting warmer so I hope you are all starting to find the perfect crop tops for your bodies. Until we actually reach  summer weather, lets talk a little about blazers. Which is the absolute GO TO JACKET for this spring. 
Statement Blazers are in full effect for spring 2013.

There is the statement blazer, which is very bold and would be the main part of your outfit, and should be paired with a very simple top,pant,skirt, short or even dress. This blazer can be a bright color, a tuxedo style, full of sequence or a floral print.

Your statement Blazer can range anywhere from something similar to this 
Alice by Temperley Blake Jacket, which i absolutely love by the way. This style of jacket would add such a pop to a A.B.E or All Black Everything type of day. 



















Or for those dolls who love to be bold and daring you can go for a sequence or floral prints. Something like this 

Stella McCartney- Citrus Floral Kacquard Roman Blazer. Now dolls this blazer isn't for anyone you have to have impeccable bold taste to pull this risky blazer off!!!





















Rebecca Taylor Hawaii Zip Jacket- this jacket is a bit more safe, compared to the Stella McCartney one, but still very very bold. 



















If your not a floral type of girl, but still want to try the bold blazer you can go with a entire sequence one, I personally LOVE LOVE LOVE SEQUENCE. This Joliet Sequence blazer is simply FAB hope you dolls like. 


















My next item is a MUST HAVE all of my fabulous dolls must run out and buy yourselves one of these Tuxedo Blazers for this spring if you don't already have one of course. 

I do not know the designer, who is responsible for this lovely jacket, but I found a picture of it on polyvore and fell in love, this is a white blazer with a faux leather black trim and is simply BEAUTIFUL! 


If you do want something similar I do know the following designers make similar blazers. BCBG, Express, Armani Exchange. 











Some other MUST HAVE'S for spring 2013 are the bright color blazers, and the all black with power shoulders. 

 An all black blazer is a definite must have, it can save you in any situation, whether out to play or in the office, the power shoulder effect is simply my preference you can go for a simple black blazer if the power shoulder is too much for you. I say take the risk and go for it. 



Some of this Springs colors are Lilac, Blue and Red below are two very simple yet very bold colored blazers.





















It is also Sunglasses weather... some trending Shades for spring 2013 are.......

The Cat-eye:
We have two pair of Tom Ford's cat eye sunglasses. The first are the Bardot Sharp Cat-eye Sunglasses & the Nastasya Cat-eye. 




































The Rounded Square- 

I personally love the rounded square they are perfect for those days you need to run errands and you are not in the mood to apply your face before doing so.... 

Below you will find the Celine Rounded Square. 



















The Oval- 
Tom Ford Candice





















The Aviator- 

The Aviator is another one of my favorite shape of Sunglasses, i love the Motorcycle feel you automatically get when putting a pair of these on. 

Below you will find two pair of Aviator Sunglasses. The first pair are Michael Kors Jemma Plastic Studded Aviators, and the second pair are by Tom Ford open temple Aviators. 























Last but not least, the new shape out this spring are the Audrey's.

If you know the beautiful Audrey Hepburn you know she was infamous for these classy style of sunglasses,the shades below are by Celine and are called the Audrey.





I'm going to leave you dolls today off with a classic Audrey Hepburn Picture with her signature sunglasses on. She is another one of my Idols. Absolutely love love love her. hope you guys enjoy... catch ya next week :)

Crop Top Nation

Hey there my fabulous dolls, 

Last week I promised that today would be all about the Crop Top. As promised today's blog will be all about Length, Style, Material, what to look for when making a purchase, what to pair your crop top with, and even where you can find some and don't worry dolls, I will be providing pictures a little bit later so you can get a visual for when it is time to go SHOPPING!

So lets get right into it, some of you may be wondering what exactly is a crop top, well a crop top is a short blouse and or t-shirt that is made to expose some of the stomach region. 
Crop Tops can be paired with many different outfits and are very versatile it’s one of those looks that can be turned from day to night or even for late nights to early mornings. They can be worn as Sports Wear, Casual day wear and even night wear. A little bit later I will show you some different looks, from straight off the runway, to everyday girls and how they rock there crop top looks. 

What to look for when buying a crop top:

Length- Crop tops come in a variety of lengths the have the very short which should be worn by those with very tight midriff section and the longer which is made to cover up to right above the belly button. Dolls, lets always try and remember fashion is about keeping it classy and fabulous not trashy so always keep that in mind when picking out the length of your crop top. 

Style- Long Sleeve & Short Sleeve- form fitting or loose
            Sleeveless - form fitting
            Box Crop Top- these tend to come loose, and in    different fabrics and textures. 

Bottoms- Pairing the right bottoms with the right crop top is the most important part of your outfit. 

Material- Short Sleeve & Long Sleeve- If you want a tight fit look for one with a bit of a stretch in the material.
Box Crop Tops/ Loose fitting - Go for Crop tops made out of Thinner Fabric or even a lovely lace. 

Short Crop Top (Long / Short / Sleeveless) - should be worn with low-rise pants, it gives the appeal of a sexier look. 

Longer Crop Top (Long / Short/ Sleeveless) - should be worn with high waist-ed pants/skirts or even high waist-ed shorts. The high waist and crop top gives the illusion of sex appeal with out being overly sexy. 

Box/ Looser Crop Tops- Should are worn with body-con pencil skirts, form fitting pants or shorts. 

Form Fitting Crop Tops (Long-sleeve, ,short-sleeve,sleeveless) - Look FAB when paired with pants, shorts, skirts which contain volume. 


Now on to some pictures

Below you will find some Runway Crop Top looks the first group of three pictures show the shorter crop tops for those Dolls with a lovely midriff section.


Below you will see some pictures from New York Fashion Week 2013 showing off the Fabulous Box Loose fitting Crop Tops out.


















Now for some Every Day Looks from two very beautiful young ladies.....


















Above , Julia paired American Apparel Disco Pants - which are basically high-waist-ed pants made with a glossy finish to give a more GLAMOROUS effect, she paired these high waist-ed pants with a nice long sleeve form fitting crop top, and doesn't she look simply FABULOUS.


Or for a different look , below Julia paired a nice pair of black high-waist-ed pants, with a nice sleeveless form fitting crop top, and to give it a classier touch she added a nice sleek black blazer, and a nice simple pair of black ankle booties, great for a day at school, a simple day out with friends, or even a nice dinner and some drinks.



















Below you will find my beautiful friend Shawnia at her dance performance also wearing the sleek sleeveless form fitting crop top look, she paired hers with a sexy pair of shiny/lace black leggings.
