Uniquely Loving Yourself in Red

If you haven't been introduced to Wanelo yet, I invite you to set up your own account like I just have. Wanelo is full of a variety of brands that you can add to an assortment of your own collections. You can even add items to your collections when shopping online so everyone can see your lovely new purchases...or most wanted gifts. I started out my Wanelo collections with ModCloth clothing and accessories to create a story of an outfit for the perfect summer night out. While browsing the great selection of dresses that ModCloth has to offer, I came across the Summer Night Stroll Dress in Red. From there I found all the right accessories and beauty items that would make the dress even more lovely. 

With spring here, so are many parties, weddings, and events. As I adore fashion, but like every girl on a budget, I found that this ModCloth Summer Night Stroll Dress in Red lends itself to many occasions. This dress can be easily taken from day to night. As any outfit, a girl must start with her foundation, ModCloth's Lovely Be a Lady Demi Bra and Lovely Be a Lady Undies makes you feel pretty underneath and gives you the support you need.

ModCloth's To Thee I Web Heel in Red are the next best thing to ruby slippers. They are comfortable and won't have you miss a step when you dance the night away.

Every girl needs some sparkle so ModCloth has me covered with these fabulous First Dance Together Earrings, A Sparkling Occasion New Heirloom Bracelet and Play the Party Clutch. 

For the final touches, a girl must always look perky and bright (no matter how late she's been up), so I make sure and tuck my little secrets touches in my handbag of the blush and Lip Stain in Red Velvet to give me my rosy accents.

Visit ModCloth and create your own spring story,  plus everything ships for free on all orders $50+!

The Don'ts Of Spring Fashion

We've all seen first hand a major fashion don't while in public...and there might have been a moment where we had been sporting a fashion don't. Since spring has excitedly approached, I thought it'd be helpful to give a little insight on what not to do this season. I've been seeing more and more of these five major don'ts lately - and I just can't stand it anymore. It's time for some of us to get on track and be remembered for what we do well in our outfits rather than what we don't.

1. Bronzer and Blending

 It's spring or summer and you didn't have the fortunate opportunity of soaking up the sun on a sandy beach, so you eye the bronzer in the aisle and think, "No one will ever know." WRONG. When your face doesn't match the rest of your body's natural color you know you've gone too far. If you absolutely need bronzer, know how to correctly apply it. Nothing is worse than have a big orange line trailing on your jawline. This isn't the time to color inside the lines, so DO blend your make up outwards so it nicely blends into your natural tone. 

2. The Root Of The Problem

It's important to always stay in touch with your roots in life - and that means your hair roots too. All I've seen lately is bleach blondes that need to get in touch with their dark roots. It may look artistic in a magazine, but once you venture out into the real world it's hard to drag your eyes away from - and not in a pleasant way. So DO skip the shopping and take a seat at the salon instead.

3. Muffin Tops

 Love handles, muffin tops, coin slots, whatever you wanna call it - it's time to put it away. With crop tops and jean shorts barreling back into our lives, muffin tops are coming back into view. No one body is the same, we don't all have the luxury of slappin' on some low rise jeans without a little spillage over the sides, just because you can button it doesn't mean it fits. There are ways to hide it. High waisted shorts or jeans, flowy tops, and intriguing patterns are all lovely little things for spring - and to hide your little bakery delicacy.

4. Wear for the Weather 

It's forty - fifty degrees out, you see the short shorts in your closet, do not pick them up. No matter how tempting the increasing temperature outside may be, wearing your shorts or sundresses too soon can make you look incredibly out of the ordinary. Would you wear a swim suit out in the snow? No. So don't skimp on the material until you sense the time is absolutely perfect. 

5. We all hate cliff hangers

Nope, this cliff hanger doesn't leave me in suspense and wanting more - toe hangers have me back tracking to get away from the sight. Spring brings open toed shoes (which I cannot wait to wear out again) but seeing someone's toes hit the pavement before their shoes do can make you rethink your shoe choice. No matter how pretty your spring shoes are from last season - if they don't fit, get rid of them as fast as you wanted to get rid of all that cold weather. Oh, and don't forget to get a pedi before you debut your toes. Nobody wants to see what's been hibernating in those boots all winter.

What are some of your fashion pet peeves that you're hoping to avoid this spring? Let me know in the comments below.

App Of The Month: Walk In My Closet

Step Inside My Closet, meet Walk In My Closet, and app that literally lets you venture into the closets of the most to the least well know fashionistas out there. 

I discovered this app from getting an account on Walk In My Closet's actual website which allows you to further engage in the fashion world. From posting your outfit of the day, a few faves from your own closet, showing off your inspiration on your mood board, and checking out others closets and mood boards you can also shop designer consignment pieces from all over the world that are in immaculate condition. So really this app is any fashion fan's cup of tea. Go to their website and you too can sell your own luxury pieces that just don't bring a sparkle to your eye anymore.

Not only the app is fun, but the website has got me glued to my computer reading interviews from fashion icons and trends that are making their debut, which is pretty nice considering New York fashion week just coming to a dizzying end and London Fashion week still bringing on the endless ooo's and awwww's.

But it's time to go make your closet, and while you're at it, step inside my closet by clicking here!

Wild Heart

Happy Valentine's Day, everyone! Love is in the air - especially for fashion. I wore my heart on my dress today in my Wildfox pink heart dress that had me swooning. 

The army green color of the dress gravitated me toward my Timberland combat boots. Unfortunately since the groundhog saw it's shadow - it's just too cold not to put on some solid black leg warmers. 

Adding a touch of cuteness and most importantly warmth, leg warmers have become my very best friend during this cold drought. 

For jewelry I kept it minimal and put on this "Sealed With A Kiss" Envelope Pendant from Style Yourself In Chloe + Isabel. 

I thought that a love note type of necklace like this was perfect for the month of love. 

Tell me what you're loving this month!
For me, it's definitely the slow arrival of new spring colors and fashions.

Dress: Wildfox 

Shoes: Timberland 

Necklace: Style Yourself In Chloe + Isabel

Leg Warmers: Steve Madden
