Studded Cutoff Jean Shorts


Source: thefancy.com via Jen on Pinterest



I absolutely love when someone transforms a fashion item in order to make it suit their unique style. It speaks to a certain personality of the individual and brings me back to my rocker days in the 90's when I attempted to personalize everything, but that's grunge style for yah! I still try and do this, and love to get ideas from others. Especially because I like to get an idea and see how it would look before I potentially ruin my fashion item. These studs might be placed in a place that would pinch you when you sit down, but you get the point! I absolutely LOVE them!

Long Skirts, Why? I ask...Why NOT? YAY!!!

A Jil Sander runway look. Colors can pop because of the simple design and perfect cuts. This will suit any body type. Food for thought: What a comfortable travel outfit! Perfect for anywhere!

Or you can pick a black that has a little more of a design element to it with an interesting cut/bunching. This would also actually be a relatively easy DIY project if you wanted to alter with a needle and thread.

The more fabric the more edgy it seems,which might seem a bit counter intuitive for some. This is a piece that you will be able to dress up for a ball ("Because every pretty girl deserves to go to a ball." -Yes Man Quote) Or you can keep it simple. This piece has a very international feel to me, and is a great design to accentuate a skinny torso too as the bulk of your ensemble will be at the bottom.

Dress it up, dress it down, dress it funky and spunky and pretty and nice!

Maybe items more tailored pull at your fashion heart strings. Worry not my fine friend. This is a piece than can provide diversity, but I would like to most dress it up with a little fitted polo shirt, some kick-ass stilettos and some red lipstick for a very simple, vintage look. As this is a pencil skirt that falls a little longer than most, giving you the possibility to rock the vintage flair we all know and love so well!

Always a good idea to keep something fitted up top and then match the flow of the skirt with some chunky accessories. That can be a chunky bag, some chunky bangles or you can wear an over sized bun on your head by adding some extensions paired with some chunky black winged eye liner, chunky clogs, over sized earrings.Surprise us! I double-dog-dear you! HE HE HE!

This piece isn't floor kissing, but is a piece that I couldn't resist as it is a cool piece to add to maybe a work wardrobe! Fun! Fun! (Note of warning: Maybe stay away from shinny fabrics like in the picture with this cut, as it might make items look larger than they actually are).

Absolutely love these cuts! Playful and serious seemingly at the same time!

Bohemian Chic. Comfy, cozy and fun all at the same time! YAY for Skirts, the new baggy pant!

Ca-rayze for Stilettos

When thinking about a nude pump, think soft pink with some spunk, this color goes great with all skin tones and acts as a great neutral to lengthen the leg and match any ensemble. Plus, the cut and design keeps this shoe from being anything but ordinary!
These are Nicholas Kirkwood shoes and are made in Italy. $1,330

These are some Taylor Reeve Stilettos: Feast your eyes Fashion freaks : )

 This is inspires a DIY idea for me. You could paint your shoes yourself, put decals or have a friend who is especially art savvy to assist you with a sketch. Or if you want to keep it simple, maybe paint the bottom a solid color that brings out the beauty of your shoe.

 Can I EVEN BEGIN to tell you how much I absolutely ADORE these wedges! Be-still my beating fashion heart!
These are Lanvin Resort 2011 Collection Shoes that go for about $ 1,280.00.
I guess a girl can dream, and sometimes that all she can do! But at least I enjoy the ride, right?!?!
Sweet dreams ladies and gents!

Dream Closets

A closet should be your lovely safe haven, where your most expensive items can be lovingly tucked away in style when they are not being worn.
Brooke's closet tips:
  • Make sure all your hangers match. It makes everything look fluid and clean, even if they are plastic target hangers (that's what I have, easy to replace)- as long as they all match!
  • Add a fresh coat of paint, make sure it is clean looking, and you can even play with color here.  Have fun with it.
  • Lighting, Lighting, Lighting! Color does not exist without light! So make sure it is a well lit area. Plus this can be helpful to make the closet space seem larger. Don't be afraid to play with chandeliers if you have the space.
  • Keep the floor items organized and clean looking.
  • Make sure everything matches, for example storage boxes should all be the same and should coordinate/contrast appropriately with paint color, etc.
  • Most of all, keep it a creative, organized, uncluttered and inspirational so it can be a place for you to dream in. Very important for your Fashion Sanity!
Here are a few closets to die for!!!

Perfect example of someone who is not afraid to make her basic closet color pallet POP! Get it...POP! lmhfgfreegnlllk: ) Cause its a Pop singer....okay... well I Love it!
Also If you are looking for a GLAM look Leopard print is always a great foundation to start with, as it goes with almost everything, allowing you to incorporate items you already have.
