TightsPlease

[Promotional Blog Post]

     I received these funky tights in the mail a little while ago and have been meaning to post about them sooner, however it's been a fairly busy summer for me so far. But anyway, tightsplease.com is a really cool online store where you can find any style of hosiery you fancy! This pair of Pamela Mann Freesia tights struck me because of its unique floral print and vibrant colors. Putting them on, they are so comfortable that they felt like a second skin on my legs! The only thing was that they didn't fit quite right in the feet so I cut those parts off, turning them into footless tights...which works out perfectly so I can show off my summer pedicure!

Verona Velvet Dress-$25.50

I'm in love with the velvet trend for fall this year, so this is

a nice dress to transition from a summer wardrobe to an

autumn ensemble with a couple sweaters and some leggings.

First Impression

  
   This morning I was catching up on fall shows via podcasts on iTunes. I was in the middle of “Edition by Georges Chakra Fall/Winter 2010” from Fashion Network when I saw a model come on wearing what looked to me like a bulky blanket wrapped around her torso. “That’s the most hideous sweater I’ve ever seen,” I thought to myself. But as the model turned around, the back of the sweater caught my interest. It draped down the back and tied with a metallic bow. What really make it a revelation was that this overwhelmingly sized sweater, that covered so much in the front, exposed the right amount of skin in the back to make it sort of sexy.
   At first glance, this garment may seem ridiculous and awkward, but after looking at it from every angle, I find it pretty practical. It’s made out of mohair so I imagine it would be plenty warm for winter months. I would wear it with skinny jeans or leggings so that it wouldn’t overwhelm my figure too much, though. It might even look cute tucked into a high-waisted skirt and worn with over-the-knee boots. Although my first impression was that I would never wear something like this, my second impression is asking myself if I could make something like this my own!

It's Hot, Hot, Hot!

   I hate that it's been so long since I've posted! Even though the school year is coming to an end, I feel like the hardest work has just begun! My chemistry class is crazy and we've just been assigned two big projects in English. Meanwhile, I still need to send in some job applications and get the rest of my driving hours. The only thing that's getting me through...the nice, hot weather! Right now it's 90 degrees and all I want to do is go to the beach!

A Fall Must-Have For Legs

I'm so sorry I haven't posted for almost a week! The second week of school, believe it or not, gets more hectic with student council and dance team starting up, class elections coming soon, and a heavier load of homework. Thankfully, I'm getting a four day weekend! There are so many intriguing trends this fall that I want to try, but one on the top of my list is flashy leggings. Leggings have been a basic for years, but this fall they seem to have been kicked up a notch. Revamped with sequins, neons, leather, and wild prints, they're no longer just the piece you wear under a dress to keep warm. My current collection of leggings consists of two black pairs and one white pair...booorrrring!!! So my first stop the next time I go shopping? Here are some leggings guaranteed to take the spotlight!

Urban Outfitters-BDG geo legging-$19.99

Topshop-snakeskin sequin leggings-$100

French Connection-windswept leggings

Guess-venom leggings-$44
