Cute Capris

The beginning of September is that awkward time where it's too cold for shorts but too warm for jeans. Therefore, it's the perfect time for capris! Denim capris with a rolled up cuff are the way to go this fall. Why? Because this style goes with any winter or summer shirt hence, your options have widened. Cuffed capris are always in style and they look great with a flow top for school! The best place to get capris like these is Aeropostle. They're form fitting and have many different shades and colors. Until the weather gets chillier, pick out a nice set of capris to go with all those fab shirts you just bought for school!

Both of these capris that go down to
three inches above the ankle are form Aeropostle.

5 Fall Fashions Not to Wear

All this time I've only told you what great trends you should be wearing but not what you shouldn't. I have five fashion "trends" that you don't want to go near for this school year! Take a look to avoid a fashion embarrassment this year!

1) Don't ever mix two different patterns. Most of you already know this but mixing two different patterns like floral and stripes causes confusion and makes your outfit way too busy. Not to mention that most patterns don't clash with another pattern well at all.

2) Stay away from loose jeans. Although some people like looser jeans better than the feel of skinny jeans, loose jeans look messy. They tend to look baggy and unorganized, making the buyer look like a mess! Skinny jeans are really the way to go, they are the biggest trend but if you're a tall girlie than you can also wear flare jeans with some heel boots underneath.

3) Never wear orange and brown together. There are a lot of colors that go perfectly together, brown and orange is not one of them. Those two colors create a dark combination and make you seem gloomier than you really are, instead of trendy and full of happiness and color! Just be careful, too much color can make the outfit look childish and will ruin it.

4) Don't wear checkers. Patterns like checkers are not the way to go. Checkers look very confusing and are defiantly not a trend! Flowers are a more mature pattern and look cleaner and prettier. 

5) Don't add to much neon to an outfit. It's fine to wear a neon t-shirt to gym class but neon is really for the lower grades, girls. Wearing neon in a regular outfit is too bright and often doesn't pair well with many other articles of clothing. Color is great but that means a pink blazer, not a neon yellow flow shirt!

Use these tips to help you stay in style instead of out of it this year! You'll look great!

Fashion Tip: Tights Are Tight!

Leaving summer to go back to school is never easy for kids. No one wants to give up wearing shorts and skirts for heavier winter clothes just yet. Right? What if I told you that you didn't have to? Here's my simple tip: Tights are tight this year! What does that mean? What I'm trying to say is that tights are no more a 'grandma thing'! When fall starts to bring in the cool weather you don't have to pack up your skirts until spring! Instead with your pencil skirts, you can wear wear a colorful pair of tights underneath with ankle boots! This look puts a wintery twist on your average spring-summer look. Oh, and it's amazingly cute and totally in! I would suggest wearing ankle boots with the outfit to have it's best affect but if you don't own any, black flats will do fine as well. Using a black or white skirt, or in my case the black and white striped skirt from Forever 21 I have, will do the best since they go with every color tights and of course, have the tights match the shirt!

This is my pencil skirt.
It goes with a whole range
of colors!

School Shoes

School is around the corner! Now's the time to stock up on what you're going to wear the whole year! And what's in for the winter is boots! Whether you're a student or a working woman, boots and jeans are the way to go. Tall boots make you look, well, taller and ankle boots are an adorable touch! I found suede black boots just from Payless to go with all my jeans through the whole winter! And you don't have to be a teen to rock these kind of shoes, tall boots look great on woman! Wear them with your jeans or your suit pants for a stylish look at work! For teens, tuck your jeans into them for a chic look that will get everyone going! It's the latest trend!

London Look

London is such a beautiful and iconic town. Who wouldn't want to visit? However, what they are most known for is their signature style of effortlessly fancy. While walking the streets you would notice high heels, lace tops, mini hats, and these dresses that you'd die for. It's every girls dream to go shopping in London! If you can't get a plane ticket, here's how to make it work in America. London's style has much detail and little things that make that piece of clothing adorable. Remember when I mentioned how lace is something that you should defiantly where? Well try a full on lace flow top, to start. Lace is very detailed, which the people of London love, and what it does it start right off your neck so when you're wearing a cami underneath it gives of two different shades (one of your skin underneath and one of the cami) which is incredibly brilliant and chic! I found my top like this right at Forever 21, no plane needed! Pair a top like this with capris, shorts, or skinny jeans and you have a look Pippa Middleton would adore!

This shirt I got from
Forever 21 and is completed
with detail and chicness!

Sheer is Savvy

Here enters the exciting time of going back to school shopping. As the new school year approaches, girls everywhere flee to the mall to stock up on this year's new trends, including me of course! There are many stores with many options to choose from, however, one thing you defiantly want to look for is some sheer! Sheer tank tops or even button downs or thin cardigans give off a quick burst of color and add a simple element to your outfit. Sheer looks very chic and pulled together while also being thin. Since it's a thin material, many girls choose to wear colorful camis underneath. Hence, this will be an outfit exploding with color and cuteness! Many sheer items tend to stick to your chest then flow for the rest, sowing off what you got! It's absolutely perfect for the fall and spring, you can wear them with pants or capris! Sheer makes you feel pretty, when you look even prettier!

Bringing in the Big Knits

Since summer is slowly coming to an end, it's time to go back to school shopping! There are so many great pieces of clothing out there it's hard to pick and choose. Well, here's one style that you must have for this year: big knits. Cardigans, sweaters, or even beanies with a thick knit design are defiantly in this season to give off a complicated but comfy look. Big knits come in so many different styles! Try a cardigan with a skirt. Or a cropped sweater with jeans and boots. Even a beanie to complete an outfit looks great, especially with the incoming weather. Try something, even if it's small, that has a big knitted material and see how you look. I choose a blue cardigan from aeropostle that works with skirts and jeans!

cardigan from

Fashion Tip: The Rule of Leggings

Over the past year, leggings have really come back into style. The thing is, many people don't wear them how it's supposed to be. What? There's a rule about wearing leggings? Absolutely! Here it is: When wearing leggings, make sure that the shirt you're wearing covers your butt. Leggings are a piece of clothing made to cling to your body. If you're going to wear leggings without any skirt of anything on top, make sure that you're shirt covers your butt. Why? Otherwise, your whole butt is showing and leggings aren't meant to show your butt (If it's not meant to do something it's not going to look good doing it) and it also makes your shirt look too small and puts out a bad image. And of course, it just doesn't look put together! If you take a shirt with a long tail or a band to cover your butt though, the outfit looks chic and complete and you'll look great. I like to wear a shirt I got from H&M with a band covering the butt so the outfit looks great!

These leggings (not as wide
as they seem) go perfect with
this shirt from H&M that covers the
butt completely.
