Staying trendy and Staying ahead of the curve in 2012

Trends, Fads, being chic or fashionable, it really doesnt matter how you spin it, we all want in.
Though this past year has had a bunch of different trends that we've all fell in love with we highly recommend ditching the following if you want to stay in the now:

Owls: Just....no

Elephants: So cute, but so overdone.

Peacocks (which im kind of sad about because im OBSESSED with peacocks):

Feathers.....EVERYWHERE: Now that everyone has them they just arent cool anymore, though if you can find a new and original way to incorporate them into your ensemble more power to you because I LOVE this trend and am going to be sad to see it go. The only thing im not going to be sad to see go is semiperm feathers in your hair, move on to clip in, just do it.



Ripped Denim: Dont you dare try to tel me this picture is sexy

Neon: Here and gone and personally i wont be sad to see this one go...(ps what up with these shoes???)



Unfortunately...i have to admit in the past year i have proudly participated in all of these trends. However for the new year heres a few things everyone needs:



Corduroy: Get yourself some corduroy or dig it out of the back of your closet:

Dream Catchers: They're beautiful and maybe if you have one you can keep away bad thoughts even during the day :]

Crop Tops:  LOVE THEM!!

Out with the old and in with the new!

Have a happy new year and share these ideas and our blog with your friends

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.
