Fall 2011 Trend: Just a little bit of lace

Everyone knows lace is sexy, and if you don't, you should have more things to be concerned about then the trends of fall 2011. This year though, it's all about keeping lace classy, but not getting rid of the sex appeal. Also, you never want to do too much lace, that is a disaster. Lets look at some different ways you can try this trend.

The cardigan in this picture has just the right amount to be cute, yet still professional.



Try a dress like this with just some lace at the collar to give a plain dress an extra femine touch


Not a person who likes to wear lace? Put it on your nails. I'll have a tutorial coming up on how to do this


I am in love with lace shorts, and jealous of people who live somewhere wehre they can wear them all year long


This trend is even as easy as throwing on a pair of shoes


I'm going to end with my favorite look of lace, which is anything with a lace-inset. I love the little bit of lace that makes it sexy, but not overdone.

Get in my closet #1

Yesterday I went shopping and took a look in Nordstrom. I saw this dress and fell in love with it

How could you not love this dress? It is so simple yet the detailing on the top makes it one of a kind. I defiantly have lust for this dress, although I do not enjoy the price tag of over $1,000.  It just means I'll have to get rich.

How Get in my closet works:
~ A new one is posted every Monday
~ You create a post on your blog with things you found that week that you are lusting over. It can just be one thing or it can be many things. The post can also be made any day of the week because the linky tool is open all week.
~ You put a link to this post in your post
~ You add your link to the linky tool
~ Look at other posts and see if you agree with what they like

Have fun lusting!

Back to School: One nail different is a must for 2011

When I first saw this look I thought somebody was painting their fingers in the dark. Now as I have seen it more and more though it has grown on me. Although it must be done right. I'm not sure how it was started, but the idea of painting only one nail a different color then the rest has been sweeping the stars. I have also heard it called the rebellious nail and I am really enjoying the name. How I would suggest you do it is paint the rest of your nails a muted color and the different one a metallic one. Another option would to do all the nails black and one a bright color like Ashley Benson below, this would be much more of a statement. Make sure the colors compliment each other, like don't put yellow and green together unless you are one big packers fan. Here are some of the ways others have done it to inspire you.

The Number One Fashion DONT

We've ALL seen it. That one girl who walks around looking like a man with flip flops, baggy shorts, a cutoff tshirt cut all the way down the sides, and to top this oh so fashionable look off? A bright, neon sports bra. Ladies...this is NOT a cute look. Even when worn with your cutest pair of butt-hugging jeans this ensemble is still a no go. Plain and simple this is TRASHY.

We asked our panel of Fenice Men what they thought about this look and nine out of ten agreed. One even went so far as to mention, "You wouldn't wear your bra in public...just because it has 'sport' before it doesn't matter. Bra is still in the name."

*We would also like to mention that the one guy who said "yeah, go for it!" dresses the male equivalent of this look. In fact when we gathered the guys to ask them about this he walked in the door wearing mid calf tyedye socks, ratty tennies, basketball shorts, and...you guessed it...a FRESHLY cut shirt. Right down the sides.

(Maybe we'll do a makeover and write a post about it ;] OOO spoiler alert)

Now we understand there are exceptions. Perhaps bedtime or maybe a workout? But we draw the line there. This look will NEVER be cute.

However if you're really itching to try this look why don't you go for a sexier approach? A black bra under a slightly see through shirt is mysterious and a bandeau under a vneck is very cute.

Oh and by the way? No cheating. Unless you're going for a swim don't you dare wear your swimsuit top under your shirt to school. Just as trashy ladies. Not to mention neon sports bras under a burnout shirt. (Our other pet peeve.)

It's all the same concept girls. Use your head! Make good choices and post your alternative options to our facebook page! Search for Fenice! We would LOOOOVEEE to see your cuter options!

TaTa for now

Why wear a t-shirt when you can wear a crop top?

Crop Tops have been all the rage lately, showing up on Tumblr dashboards and in all the hottest stores. They are as easy to wear as a t-shirt, but way more sexy then a t-shirt. You can pair them with jeans or jean shorts but I suggest you stay away from pairing them with a skirt, you don't want to over do the sexiness and you always want to leave something to the imagination. With them being such a hit I'm going to give you some tips on how to do them right.

1. Pick a length that you are comfortable in.
Don't wear one that is above your bellybutton if you don't feel comfortable about showing your stomach, if you are in the mood to be daring then do it. There are so many lengths of them you just have to search till you find one you like. Always remember that you should always dress to impress yourself, you don't want to be in something you don't like all day even if someone else thinks you look hot in it.

2. Know when they are appropriate
Showing your stomach is not appropriate in all circumstances. For example school is probably not the best place to wear a crop top.

3. Keep it Classy
Remember my other post about looking classy and not trashy, keep that in mind here.

4. Don't add a tank
This is a complete personal opinion but I think when someone adds a tank they are trying to do two things. A.) they are trying to do a trend they aren't comfortable in and they should really do a trend they are more comfortable in
B.) They are wearing a shirt that shrunk

5. Try it out on the beach
Not sure if it's the look for you? Try wearing one to the beach over a bikini.

Check back tomorrow for two different outfit ideas for a crop top.

Xoxo,
Jenni
