A FASHION LOVE AFFAIR

---

Coral Crush Posted: 26 Apr 2013 10:08 AM PDT Happy Friday loves! This is going to be a short post. I just wanted to get another one in before the weekend.  I leave for Chicago next week for a few days so I am just trying to post as much as I can before I go! Dress (similar print) & Blazer (shop similar): Forever21/ Sandals: C/O Bakers/ Sunnies: H&M/ Earrings: C/O Mandee I wore this dress once in a previous post last year and wanted to wear it in a completely different way this time.  Many girls don't like wearing the same dress more than once, but there's definitely ways that you can revamp it to make it look completely different.  You can do this by pairing it with a blazer, wearing different colored shoes, switching up your accessories, or even turning your dress into a skirt by wearing a top over it.  There's many possibilities.  I just decided to wear mine with my favorite coral blazer and white sandals for a fun and chic look. I am actually going to be selling this dress so look out for it in my PoshMark Closet soon in case you're interested!  Have a fabulous weekend! XO Instagram/ Facebook/ Twitter/ YouTube

The theme of this project is the bright lights of the world's great cities at night. Whether viewed from within, or from a far, nothing quite captures the modern world in the same way as the dazzling lights of a major city at night. Exciting, beautiful, dangerous, or even poignant in the face of man's influence on the planet, these lights can stir the emotions in unexpected ways. For this project we want your designs to capture and express these emotions in an original way to create fashion with equal impact. You are free to submit as many designs as you wish, however each submission must consist of one design only. More detailed submission guidelines are available on the next page. We have prepared a mockup pack, which can be downloaded here on the right, to help you illustrate the possible placement of your design on a simple dress. If used this must be saved as a 600X900 pixel JPEG and submitted as an additional detail image. Your main image must still be the design alone. 4 winning designs will be selected, each winner receiving £1000 and seeing their work go on to be produced and sold in our online store as well as in some of the world's largest retailers. To learn more, go here and final submission date is 5/19/2013.

A FASHION LOVE AFFAIR

---

Pink Lemonade Posted: 25 Apr 2013 10:20 AM PDT Whenever it's warm in Jersey, I take total advantage.  Can you tell I am anticipating summer?!  I can't believe it's almost May!  I wanted to wear something really colorful and vibrant, so I think this did the trick. Skirt: C/O Furor Moda/ Tank: Target: Shoes: Forever21/ Bag: C/O olivia + joy  Necklace: C/O Happy Wrist/ Sunnies: H&M  I fell in love with this colorful high waisted skirt from Furor Moda.  I knew immediately that I needed to add it to my Spring/Summer wardrobe.  It's fun, flirty and super cute.  I think I styled this in 3 or 4 different ways until I was happy with the outcome.  Since there's a great mix of colors in the print, there's so many things that you could pair with it depending on the colors you want to play with.  Since I decided on the pink and yellow, I went with a simple white tank and just accessorized with this beautiful teardrop rhinestone necklace from Happy Wrist. I wanted to bring out the hot pink that is lined around the waist, so I went with these ankle strap wedges. And to bring out the yellow in the print, I paired my beautiful new Swanky-Lemon handbag  from oliva + joy with this outfit.  I've always loved the pink & yellow combo, so I decided to do a little color blocking with my shoes and bag. It reminds me of pink lemonade!  Coincidentally, my nails actually matched the skirt too.  I'm wearing Mint Apple from Sinful Colors.  Sometimes I stay clear of mixing too much because I don't want my outfit to seem "too busy", but I think the key is making sure to incorporate at least one neutral item to keep it toned down. Have a great day! <3 Instagram/ Twitter/ Facebook/ YouTube
