Let It Snow? Hell to the No

It's snowing. Yupp, last week I was stylin in my skirt and crop top and today I piled on a sweater. Come on mother nature! With the weather pmsing, helloooo chicago, i've had to adjust my wardrobe for this week. The easiest answer: layers! I can still wear my skirt but I throw it over patterned tights, grab a blazer, and slip on a scarf!
Checkk out an adorale scarf and blazer from Urban below to give you some inspiration!

Online Shopping, Beware?

After spending hours online shopping I've come to the conclusion that my view on it is split. While the convenience that it offers, and hours I spend online, the dangers of return policies, wrong sizes, and completely incorrect merchandise, sway my positive thinking. Since I'm split down the middle, I've decided to make a pros and cons list to offer some opposing views:

Pros:

1. Convenience

--Online shopping is extremely convenient and easy to do anywhere you are. Whether your on a home computer, laptop, phone, or school computer (aka my English periods), online shopping is constantly lurking in every advertising email beckoning you to take a peak and spend some moolah. It's easy to pa rouse through the endless clothes and see many things you normally wouldn't. Online shopping helps display many items that are hard to find in stores or are out of stock in stores. Convenience? So easy.

2. Variety

--Again, the variety is key. I eyed so many things I wouldn't normally pick up when shopping. When I'm shopping I usually have my eye set on one thing and tend to ignore other options. Online shopping offers all merchandise and gives you a fresh approach.

3. Fun
--Let's get down to it, its fun! It's entertaining to create outfits online and to spend hours, days for me, checking out adorable outfits. A lot of websites create look books and that inspires fashion creations for my wardrobe.

Cons:
1. Addictive
--The Internet is already extremely addictive and online shopping is just part of that horrible habit. It's easy to put down your homework and open an email containing an ad. Then, you click on that ad and click on the featured outfit, then the featured accessory, then the matching shoe, and the process repeats. Don't get dragged in.

2. Return Policies
--Many online stores have iffy return policies. Check to see if you can return the item in the store, how much time you have, and what you need to return it. They'll get you if you don't take precautions.

3. Merchandise
--I've had a few incidences where I didn't receive the correct merchandise or it took weeks to come. Check to see how long it will take and if you don't get the right item be sure to complain, you deserve great service!

So, overall I've offered you both sides to online shopping. Make your choice but be careful! Happy shopping!

Circle Up: It's scarf time

Think scarves are only for winter? You thought wrong. Time to re-evaluate your fashion knowledge. I, for one, adore light fabric circle scarves in the spring. I throw them over a plain, large, white tee and tight patterned mini. Slip into a pair of slinky blacks heels and your fabu look is complete. Over, throw the scarf over a sundress, simple and stylish. Still, we are stuck in a bit cooler weather (although I'm ignoring it as much as possible), so if a sundress isn't right for you just quite yet take a look at Jessica Alba for some cooler inspiration.

Pattern Party

Alright so after a trip to rehab at least Demi Lovato learned one thing, patterned tights are totally in. Here's Demi shopping, healthy and looking stylish, after a trip to rehab. Good for you darling, not only are you healthy but you're bursting with total chic. Lovin in. Grab a pair of pattern tights at Urban, Forever, or H&M. I just snatched a pair for $5, now that's smart shopping.

These adorable and comfy shoes are perfect for the beach, with shorts, or paired with a cute sundress. Oof I'm loving em!

This classic brand was popular last summer and has been showing up again. These deck shoes are perfect for leggings or shorts!

The Clog Makes a Comeback

Can it be? Clogs have come back and I'm loving it! While I hate the fact that heels kill my feet after an hour of use, the height is a major benefit. A way to get the height without the pain? Clogs! These babies are comfy and cute and will add the right amount of height, sass, and confidence. I've posted a few of my faves to give you an idea of where to start. Some clogs are made with a fabric material giving them a more casual feel. Others are made with an animal skin look making them edgy and sophisticated. Some are covered in jean and studs, my favorite for pairing with any outfit.

Big Buddha

While Big Buddha is currently my favorite handbag brand, I've seriously been loving their shoes! This clog has a high, dark, wood heel and black cover fabric. The fluff at the top gives the look a bit of uumph and comfort. These clogs deserve a standing ovation.


Ugg

While these Ugg clogs are plain and simple, they get the job done. Adding a bit of height and sophistication to your look these classic black clogs are a necessity in any closet

Those are just two examples of some great clogs. Don't be afraid to search around and go all out with your clogs. The more the merrier!

Double the Chic, Double the Style

Katy Perry: Style Icon

I wanna see your peacock. No Katy, I want to see your newest outfit. Katy not only has controversial music but takes daring risks when choosing her daily ensemble. I commend her for her bravery to step outside the box with her bright, edgy, fun clothing. I think her style is young and fresh but brings in enough sex appeal to keep people entertained. Basically, I heart it. Oodles. Let's follow Katy down her funky fashion path.


The Grammys-2009
Looking absolutely stunning in Basil Soda Katy Perry shines at The 2009 Grammys. The dimension of the dress and the color suits her fair skin perfectly. What I adore about this look is how sophisticated yet fun it is. Katy looks STUNNING. The big jewelry adds the sparkle to the dress but doesn't overdue it. Katy, you're a firework.
 



The MTV Music Awards-2010

Only Katy Perry can pull off a look like this. Katy cleverly shows off skin but keeps it classy with a decorative top. The bottom of her dress, white and poofy, gives the look a classic and sophisticated feel. It also brings in a element of fun. Katy knows how to accessorize. With shiny heels and a stripe of color in her hair her look becomes truly Katy.








Katy Perry- Rockin the Mod

Sticking to a more appropriate outfit, Katy still shines will doing daily activities. While perusing the streets she makes heads turn in her mod inspired ensemble. Her chic black bob and vintage sunglasses add the perfect touch to her croped jacket, bright t shirt, and black legging. Loving the bag Katy
