Costume: The Miley Look Halloween Edition

The Miley Look:  Need inspiration for a cute, edgy, and trendy Halloween costume?  Stand out by rocking the Miley look.  Inspired by her hit music video "We Can't Stop" outfit, you'll be sure to have the hottest costume every girl will wish they had worn.

What You Need:  To pull off Miley's cute, rebellious look, first, you need a white crop top featuring the words "WEST COAST" (you can always improvise by using material puff paint or ironing letters onto a plain crop top).  Next, a pair of white short shorts, suspenders (white preferably but black works also), and silver heels.  To get her sassy flare, wear multiple necklaces (she wore one "M" pendant and one key pendant necklace), cat-eye sunglasses (she wore silver and pink throughout the video, but any color works), and bright red lipstick. Also, make sure to wear your hair pulled back and up and accessorized with a black bandanna.  Giving the costume the perfect finishing touches, have fun stacking bracelets, getting your nails done, wearing multiple rings, and edgy earrings.  An optional piece to the ensemble is a teddy bear backpack.  I think it adds some humor to the outfit while staying true to the video.  Here is the link to the above costume items.

Hope you all have a wonderful Halloween!

My Style: Bold Stripes

Today's Look: is bold and chic, with dramatic contrast, sexy sheerness, and edgy details. To start the look off, I chose high-waisted, striped shorts and a black, sheer blouse.  Sometimes, striped clothing has a reputation of being unflattering.  These shorts, however, have a modern cut and variation in the direction of the stripes, causing a slimming effect rather than widening. Since the top has gold flourishes, I chose a bold, gold and black necklace.  The necklace has a thick, gold chain with dark, sharp triangle pendants.  Next, I chose black, high-heeled ankle boots and a black, studded clutch.  The boots are unique featuring back cutouts while the clutch is edgy with dark studs and skull imprints.  Finishing off the look, I chose two gold rings, a white leather bracelet with charms saying "FIERCE," gold stud earrings and dual-tone sunglasses with black and leopard print.

Fashion Tip:  When wearing black and white stripes, pair the item with solid colored pieces to avoid detracting from the statement piece.

My Style: Birthday Girl

Today's Look:  celebrates color and fun in honor of my 20th birthday.  For the special occasion, I wanted something cute and edgy while of course involving pink (my favorite color). To start the look off, I chose the comic-book inspired tank top which features an array of colors that really stand out.  Since the tank top has cut-outs in the back and open-arms,  I wore a black cami underneath for coverage.  Next, I chose colorful platform heels that have a whimsical Aztec pattern, including an array of colors that match the tank top.  Trying to create contrast to the bold, bright top and shoes, I chose to go with loose, boyfriend jeans that I rolled up at the ankles.  It took me awhile to find the perfect pair, because often times boyfriend jeans aren't flattering.  So, instead of buying just any boyfriend pants, I chose a brand I like (Rock Revival) and bought a size bigger than I normally would in a low-cut, straight-legged pair. Finishing off the look, I chose a pink clutch, pink crystal stud earrings, an exotic bracelet, and two rings.

Fashion Tip:  Boyfriend pants paired with strappy stilettos, pointy heels, or platform pumps creates a chic-tomboy look.

My Style: Sleek & Chic

Today's Look:  features the reinvention of the skort.  A skort, for those who are unfamiliar with the term, is a blend between a skirt and a pair of shorts.  Normally, either the skirt surrounds shorts or it's a skirt in the front, but shorts in the back, like the skort I'm wearing.  When I was growing up, I used to wear cotton skorts when playing tennis at a local club.  I loved skorts so I had multiple pairs because I loved how I was covered but they are more feminine than regular athletic shorts.  Nowadays, skorts have been updated and have become fashionable for everyday wear or for girls-nights-out with a geometric, asymmetrical trim.  To start the look off, I first chose the faux leather skort and shimmery, platform heels.  The heels are a beautiful iridescent turquoise, so to match them I wore my bright, lose-knit sweater.  Normally, the sweater is baggy and long, perfect for the fall or winter.  For this outfit, I wanted more chic, so I tucked it in and wore a black cami underneath.  Finishing off the look, I chose a black leather clutch, multi-metal necklace, turquoise crystal stud earrings, and two rings.

Fashion Tip:  The reinvented skort looks great with heels while lengthening the appearance of your legs.

My Style: Sneaker Wedges

Today's Look:  is all about how to work sneaker wedges.  Sneaker wedges are a current trend that have become very popular with celebrities but either hated or loved by fashionistas.  Personally, I love them. I can wear mine all day at school, walk across campus, and my feet stay comfortable and stylish.  To start the look off, I first chose the white, Aztec, short sweater and high-waisted, green skinny jeans. Next, I chose my black sneaker wedges and "LOVE" beanie to add a casual, street-style flare.  Finishing off the look, I wore a black backpack, a gold cross necklace. gold diamond-shaped earrings, and 4 rings.

Fashion Tip:  To make sneaker wedges work, black, black and white, and other dark colors are the best for fall, while tan, white, and other light colors are great for warmer seasons.  Black sneaker wedges work perfectly in place of black ankle boots.  Leather jackets, blazers, coats, and sweaters all look great paired with them!

To join in on the funky sneaker wedges trend, I included a nice array below.

My Style: Stairway to Heaven

Today's Look:  is all about how to rock a miniskirt in the fall.  To start the look off, I chose a formfitting, black and white, striped skirt.  I knew since the weather had been chilly the last few days that a miniskirt was impractical. To make it work and not freeze, I chose black opaque tights, tall leather boots, and a comfy black sweater that hit at just the right spot.  Next, I chose a skull-printed scarf and black/metallic bracelets to add some edge.  Finishing off the look, I wore a white backpack, red crystal earrings, and two rings to lighten and incorporate some color into a basically monochromatic outfit.

Outfit Details:  Skirt c/o Charlotte Russe ❤, Sweater from Gap (Bellingham, Washington), Tights by Merona at Target (Prescott, Arizona), Boots by Jessica Simpson at 6pm.com, Earrings at Sally's Beauty Supply (Prescott, Arizona), Backpack from riverisland.com, Crackle Nail Polish from Avon, Orange Nail Polish by NYC Nail Color at Target (Prescott, Arizona), Faith Ring from Premiere Designs Jewelry, Crystal Ring from Dillard's (Prescott, Arizona), Scarf and Bracelets were gifts.

Fashion Tip:  The wind is blowing and the temperature keeps dropping, but that doesn't mean you can't wear skirts, dresses, or even shorts.  For warmth and coverage, simply wear thick, warm leggings, tights, or over-the-knee socks to transform your favorite summer item into a year-round piece.

My Style: City Hipster

Today's Look: channels the business chic of the city with a quirky flare.  First, I chose a white graphic tee featuring the word "HIPSTER" across the chest in black lettering, accented with red stars.  To match the red stars, I chose my bright red, skinny jeans, which I rolled up at the ankles.  Next, I chose my thin, strappy black heels and black blazer to add a classy yet edgy vibe to the outfit.  Finishing off the look, I wore two rings, silver sparkly studs, and jeweled, black sunglasses.

Fashion Tip:  Adding a black blazer to any outfit adds class that is sure to rack up multiple compliments.
