My Style: Grunge Plaid


Today's Look:  is all about the major fall trend of plaid and return of 1990's grunge.  To start the look off, I first chose a white graphic tee featuring the word "FAMOUS" printed across the chest and gray skinny jeans.  Since the morning had a chilly breeze, I wanted to pick a thick, warm coat.  I chose a red plaid peacoat and rolled up the sleeves to make it less wintery and more appropriate for fall.  Next, I chose black military boots, a backpack, and round sunglasses.  Finishing off the look, I wore red lipstick, two rings, black and silver stacked bracelets, and a black gentleman's hat.


Outfit Details: Top c/o Charlotte Russe , Jeans from Express (Scottsdale, Arizona), Jacket from Old Navy (was a gift), Boots by Steve Madden at nordstrom.com, Backpack by PINK at Victoria's Secret (Prescott, Arizona), Hat by Hengshu at oasap.com, Sunglasses from urbanog.com, Earrings at Sally's Beauty Supply (Prescott, Arizona), Rings from Premiere Designs Jewelry, Bracelets were a gift.


Fashion Tip:  Fall weather can be very unpredictable, especially at the beginning of the season.  In the morning, the temperature can be freezing, but in the afternoon, it can be hot.  Because of this, I suggest wearing a nice light top or layers underneath a sweater or coat.  This way you're prepared for the cold, but also can take off your warm pieces to cool off. 


This fall, red plaid jackets from preppy to grunge are a major trend.

My Style: Cozy Autumn Days


Today's Look:  is all about welcoming the new season that has just arrived: fall.  You can feel the coolness in the air, see the changes in the trees, and hear the new sounds all around.  There is no denying the leaves will all fall off soon and winter will be here before we know it, but until then, scarves, ankle boots, and cardigans get taken out from the back of our closets to star in their shining season.  To start the look off, I first chose the white, embroidered tank top, a rose, oatmeal cardigan, and a tank undershirt for layering.  Next, I chose my navy, skinny jeans, and multi-colored scarf.  I liked that the scarf had the oatmeal color, as well as white, black, and green.  Finishing off the look, I chose  to wear black ankle boots, a crochet purse, a camouflage cap, green dangle earrings, and two rings.

My Style: Sail Away with Me


Today's Look:  is all about saying goodbye to warm summer days and nights.  Fall is officially here, so it's time for boots, scarfs, jackets, and beanies, but in honor of my favorite season, I wanted to post one of my last summer styles.  To start the look off, I chose white and faded-black striped, denim shorts.  The shorts feature lace embellishing on each leg that dress them up and slightly frayed ends that add edge.  Matching the off-white lace on the shorts, I wore an off-white, collared blouse that I tucked in only in the front to keep the outfit casual.  Next, to match the stripes of the short, I chose to wear my faded-black and off-white floral sneakers.  Finishing off the look, I wore a woven, taupe fedora with an off-white lace strip around the brim, a silver, heart pendant necklace, sparkly clutch, silver bangle, two rings, and fleur-de-lis studs.

Fashion Tip:  When wearing patterned and/or lace shorts, try to wear a simple, solid-color top to compliment rather than compete.


To hop on the fedora bandwagon, I included a variety below as well as their link.

My Style: Made in the '90s


Today's Look:  is military inspired with camouflage clothing, combat boots, and a whole lot of attitude.  To start the look off, I first chose the camo, zip-front jacket.  I love the military cut and decor buttons.  To make the long sleeve jacket more casual, I decided to roll up the sleeves and leave it unzipped.  Next, I knew I wanted to wear my black combat boots to keep the theme going, so I chose to wear my black v-neck that says "Made in the 90's."  To add edge, I chose a beige, spiked headband and pulled it in by wearing beige, lace shorts.  Finishing off the look, I wore a black fringed purse, tan bracelet, and stud earrings.  


Outfit Details:  Jacket c/o Charlotte Russe ❤, Shirt from Forever 21 (Scottsdale, Arizona), Shorts by Sparkle and Fade at Urban Outfitters (Tucson, Arizona), Boots by Steve Madden at nordstrom.com, Bag by American Eagle at ae.com, Headband from Claire's (Tucson, Arizona), Earrings from Aeropostale (Scottsdale, Arizona), Bracelet from American Eagle (Tucson, Arizona).


Fashion Tip:  Adding a lace piece into an edgy outfit creates a feminine yet tough look that is attention worthy.

My Style: My Chick Bad


Today's Look:  channels influences from street-style casual and hip-hop edge.  For this look, I wanted something tough but feminine.  First, I chose the varsity jacket.  What I love about this jacket is the body is dark denim, while the sleeves are black sweatshirt material.  Since the jacket's collar and cuffs are striped black and white, I decided to style the rest of the outfit accordingly. Next, I chose a white crop-top featuring a yin-yang symbol and high-waisted denim shorts.  To add attitude, I wore a black trucker hat that says "Shell Ya" and bedazzled aviators.  Finishing off the look, I chose a white studded backpack, white Keds, black studs, three rings, and a black-jeweled bracelet.

Fashion Tip:  Varsity jackets are great for adding a sporty edge to an outfit.

How to Workout in Style



Hip-Hop/Dance:   This look is designed for jumping, turning, bending, and other movements that are involved in hip-hop and dance classes.  When I think hip-hop, I think cool shoes.  To start the look off, I picked my black sneakers, featuring pink, sparkly-zebra print and neon laces.  Next, I chose soft, comfortable pants that fit nicely into the high-top sneakers.  Since the pants have a bold black-and-white design, I chose a simple, crop tank top to match and a supportive, black sports-bra.

Yoga/Pilates:  Compared to hip-hop or dance classes, yoga and Pilates are less aerobic; therefore, your workout clothing doesn't require much support or even shoes.  To start the look off, I first chose the gray, drawstring sweatpants.  The pants are comfortable and non-restricting for stretching and a variety of movement.  Next, I chose a soft cotton, spaghetti-strap top and gray yoga bra.  I wanted to keep the theme of love and serenity and tie the grays together.  To finish off the look, I wore gold studs to match the writing on the top and navy, polka-dotted flip-flops.

Cardio/Running:  For cardio, circuit training, or running, support is key. Buying the best shoes possible is your main focus to protect your knees, ankles, feet, and even your back.  I prefer Nike but there are a number of quality brands on the market.  I recommend you try on cross-training or running shoes to get the best fit for you.  To start this look off, I chose a white, graphic muscle tee.  The top is light, and airy, so it keeps you cool.  Next, I chose comfy, spandex leggings with a black/tan tribal print to add variety to the outfit, while staying practical.  During this type of workout, your legs are constantly moving in scissor-like repetition, so form fitting pants or shorts are preferable to avoid skin irritation from rubbing. To finish off the look, I wore skull studs, braided my hair to the side, and wore black Nikes.

My Style: Flower Power


Today's Look:   is all about exploring the freedom of flowers and the power of stripes.  To start the look off, I chose a high-waisted, skater skirt which features black and white stripes interrupted by geometric designs and gold buttons.  Next, I chose a red, acid-washed crop-top to add color and a white, material flower headband with a leather and chain braided base.  Matching the black print on the skirt, I chose a black, fringe purse and high-heeled ankle boots.  Finishing off the look, I wore a gold and white beaded bracelet, two tarnished gold rings, gold leaf, dangle earrings, and loosely curled my hair for a soft finishing touch.
