The Dont's Of Summer Fashion

Leave a Comment
I've given my fair share of major don'ts for spring fashion, but now that summer has come into full effect...so have some summer fashion don'ts. From head to toe, beauty and fashion, it's time to indulge in the unglamorous sights that sneak out into public.

1. Daring To Show Your Delicates

I see London, I see France, I don't want to see your underpants! Backless dresses, tank tops, white clothing, and so much more skin start coming out to play during the summer time heat - but lets keep our undies to ourselves, yes? No matter how pretty, patterned, or bright your panties maybe, I'd rather not see what's giving you a wedgie. If you're wearing daring short shorts or even cute white shorts or skirt, turn the color volume down and keep with the basic nude or white color tones.

...but lets not forget about the upstairs. It's like a fashion horror film playing out before my eyes when I see girls wearing backless tanks or dresses...and decide to leave their bra in open view for the world to see. If nobody wants to catch a glimpse of a side-boob, no one wants to see what's covering it up either. There are millions of strapless, backless, you name it, bras out there that you can wear when your go-to bra isn't doing you justice.


2. Hair...down there?

It's time for a trim...downstairs. This don't was hard to find an example of...and I think that's because everyone pretty much agrees about it. There is no way of sugar coating this, no one wants to see whispys coming out of your bikini bottoms. Pickin' up what I'm puttin' down? Good. Trim it up, wax it off, frankly, I don't care as long as it's not in my view. That itsy bitsy teenie weenie whatever bikini is called itsby bitsy for a teenie weenie reason - it's not going to cover those overgrown wild ones trying to catch a glimpse of the summer sun.


3. Leave the buns in the bread basket
So we've talked about not showing your undies, but obviously people don't know the difference between shorts and wearing denim underwear. If your shorts are short enough to show that crescent moon of your butt cheek, it's time to invest in another pair. Do what you want with the cheeky look on the beach where you're trying to get your tan on, but out in public is not the place to see how little fabric you can get away with. Leave those baker buns and crescent rolls in the bread basket where they rightfully belong.


4. And this little piggy was a hot mess


I was glad that my toes got to see the light of day after being stuffed into boot after boot this winter, but that was before I saw the chipped winter polished toes squishing around in summer flip flops. I can understand chipped nails, whether it's a habit you can't kick or a rough day, but toe nails? It's bad enough seeing toes hanging over the edge of shoes, but to see a fully painted piggy besides a hot mess of a toe nail is nothing to prance around in the public eye.

Have a few don'ts that you want to rid the public of this summer? Instagram it, Tweet it, Facebook it, Pinterest it, whatever you like and tag me so I can see! Happy summer!

App Of The Month: Duolingo

Leave a Comment
 Bonjour mes beaux amis, Hello my beautiful friends! I can't believe June has finally graced us with it's presence! I'm unbelievably excited for summer and cannot wait to show you this month's favorite app. Like always it's free, which is surprising since it literally teaches you a whole foreign language just there on your device. Yep, no going out and buying a whole foreign language lesson that you probably won't remember, Duolingo offers courses in a variety of different languages for free. 

I decided to go with French since I already attain a little background knowledge on the language, and plus to me French is a very pretty language and used a lot in fashion - so why not become fashion fluent in two languages? Duolingo goes step by step teaching you the basics of the language first and then down to the nitty gritty. You can set goals for yourself to measure your success and duel against others to see who's come farther in their fluency. 
So go download your language buddy and then tell me what language you decided to take up. 

Au revoir!

Inspirations of Audrey

13 comments

"For beautiful eyes, look for the good in others. For beautiful lips, speak only words of kindness, and for poise, walk with the knowledge that you are never alone." - Audrey Hepburn

I begin this post with a quote from the impeccable Audrey Hepburn as I let her Breakfast At Tiffany's style guide me in this outfit. I would usually start with speaking about the clothing of my outfit, but honestly the shoes took center stage in this one. All a girl dreams about is that one pair of heels. You know the one - with the red bottoms? Ah yes, gracing my feet are a sleek pair of black Christian Louboutins. Each step I took in these was only filled with confidence and pure bliss. 

To keep everything else minimal as to focus on the shoes, I found that this black dress from Le Tote was the perfect fit. Le Tote is literally a box full of clothes and jewelry arriving at your doorstep every month. Keep what you want, send back what you don't. Simple as that. 

Instead of a donut bag as in Breakfast At Tiffany's, I hold a Kate Spade black clutch. This is very spacious, zipping at the top and opening in the middle. Plus, inside is a silver chain incase you decide you want a shoulder bag. Lovely. 

How could I not slip on some Tiffany & Co. black sunglasses for this outfit? Not only does the designer name the look I was going for, but the rhinestones on the sides of the shades gave the perfect amount of sparkle that every outfit needs. 

What fashion icon do you dream of channeling in your next outfit? 

Dress: Le Tote 


Clutch: Kate  Spade

A Night Colored Rosé

6 comments

What better way to spend a formal spring night dance than with a dress colored rosé? Simple and light, this spring time spirited Reem Acra gown had me feeling like a complete princess all night. To make this dress even more lovely and unique, I decided to add a precious rhinestone ribbon belt around my waist to give this princess some sparkle. The way the bow in the back seamlessly trailed down the back along with the tule as I walked made each step even more elegant. My Badgley Mischka Taylar Embellished Evening Shoes hidden underneath all the glamour had just the perfect fit and height to make the dress skim the dance floor.

Sparkling under the lights was my Tom Binns crystal bib necklace that made my heart skip a beat at first sight. I love necklaces that are on the heavier side since they keep themselves in place for the whole night. Last worn in my Little Black Dress post, these timeless teardrop Ciner earrings were the perfect drop of crystal to go with the necklace. Speaking of the perfect type of crystal, my Courtney Lee ring was a delightful splash of sparkle to show off while holding my blush Serpui Marie clutch. The clutch was the perfect side to hold all the girly essentials for touch ups throughout the night.

I decided to go with a simple bun for my hair, but added a bit more sparkle (I couldn't resist!) with The Shopping Bag's Crystal Bow Brooch. I find some look over pins and brooches to put in hair, when actually I think they're much easier to slip in to whatever lovely 'do you've put your hair in.

The fun of the night and the sparkle of the whole outfit left me tickled...rosé.
