Fall Colours!

So now that it's autumn (and almost winter) we thought we'd do a little special on fall and what styles and colours look amazing this time of year.

Example of a henley

• Plaid jackets: hooded, preferably with fur or fleece lining. Red, beige, yellow/black mix (like a cute bumblebee), maybe blue and green.
• Really light or really dark skinny jeans.
• Knitted or crocheted mittens for the colder days.
• Leather or suede gloves just to keep away the chill.
• If you're not a jeans person, try thick leggings or yoga pants, maybe with boots and a long jacket.
• Plaid doesn't have to be limited to jackets: plaid shirts in all colours look great. Leave them open over a tank top in a neutral colour of your choice.
• Turtlenecks (or just any long-sleeved shirt) can be worn under a thick or padded vest. Try making the shirt lighter than the vest. If you don't like turtlenecks (seeing as quite a few people don't), the henley is another great option if you want to keep your arms warm!

Thanks for reading, and I hope this helps you while choosing your fall wardrobe!

Trending Jackets

OK, well I have come to a VERY tough choice. I was watching the Vampire Diaries (which is my FAVORITE show ever) first season DVD. Nina Dobrev (who plays the characters of Elena and Katherine) would always wear these BEAUTIFUL jackets. She wore leather jackets and blazers and in some episodes I saw her co-stars rock leather and jean jackets. No surprise here: blazers, leather and jean jackets are still seriously still trending right now. I'm in need of another jacket for fall but I don't know which to choose. Might end up buying more than one jacket.

Totally make sure to check out the Vampire Diaries for more back to school ideas!

Europe is seriously hooked on camo jackets paired with light pink anything! (Totally something to check out)

Velvet Nails!

OK, well I was watching the Marilyn Denis Show this week waiting for Big Bang Theory to start and Marylin actually had a nail artist appear on the show. This is when I learned about velvet nails and as we all know textures are very popular this year. I love it!

How to get the nails? (from the Marilyn Denis Show)
1. First you need a powder for your nails or go to the craft store and look for something similar.
2. You paint your nails the colour you want (I suggest Dark Red; it looked awesome on the show).
3. Sprinkle the powder onto your nails (the powder should be the same colour as your nails).
4. Wait for it to dry.

Here is a picture I found on Google images of the nails done right

                                                                      As easy as that!

Random posts

Hey there, sorry to disappoint you but this isn't a fashion post, like most of our others. Sorry again that we haven't been posting much lately, but that's just getting to the point.

So you know, Virgo and I have been talking about "weekly post series" yet you only hear from us every month or so. I mean, the last post before this was in May! So we're cutting off the "weekly" from these series. This only means that we might be posting about a certain series 8 or 9 times a week (unlikely) or once every 3 months (way more probable).

How to rock your feet

Step 1. Making the feet healthy!

• Choose a natural soap 
• Cash your feet for at least 2 minutes when taking a shower and don't forget between the toes (some people actually forget the toes)
• Don't forget to cut the nails
• Dry and apply nail polish (completely optional)

Step 2. Finding the shoes!

• Make sure to get comfortable shoes (you don't want to get blisters)
• Don't forget about matching your nail polish and shoes together
• If you're going to wear boots or running shoes I suggest you don't paint your nails
• Make sure you actually like the shoes (and plan on wearing them)                                                                                           Psst: I suggest wedges

Step 3. Show off those beautiful feet! 

Tips!

Try to only use natural products for this kind of stuff. I do pointe (ballet) so I really need to take care of my feet! (I know what I'm talking about)

How to wear a dress to school this spring

You've probably seen girls around your school wearing dresses or skirts. Have you been wondering how they pull it off so casually? Here are some pointers showing you how to rock a dress without looking like you're going off to a wedding.

• Try flower prints or other fun patterns that draw attention away from the formality of the dress itself and can add a playful look.
• A wide, stretchy belt can go over it to add a different touch, as well as a skinny belt with a small clasp instead of a buckle.
• Wear leggings, with or without lace on the hems. A bright colour can take the thought from "Ew, she's wearing a dress to school?" to "Wow, she's really good with colours!", while shades of grey and white are good as well. Fishnets and translucent leggings are a no.
• I recently lost two bets with my friend and as a result I've had to wear a dress to school twice (something I'd never do normally). The first one was covered in bright streaks of blue and purple and green and yellow, the eye-popping print drawing the eye to me as opposed to the dress itself. The second was more toned down, with a beige, brown and green floral pattern with a bit of pink. I hardly got any notice (just how I like it). It's all a matter of working it.
• Finally, some quick dont's:

No floor-length dresses, unless they're plain jersey or light and flowy.
Nothing too schmancy on the bodice, neckline and sleeves/straps.
No scarves or other accessories that don't complement the design of the dress.

Electric Colours Steal the Spotlight

WOW! Daniella Monet, Bella Thorne and Katy Perry seem to be rocking electric colours. My favourite is probably Daniella's hot pink dress. The shape of the dress really compliments her figure and the matching high heels are a super cute touch. Bella's dress on the other hand is super girly (SO CUTE). I love the black belt with the bow! I actually never realized how beautifully black and yellow go together. I was always afraid to pair them up because I tought it would end up looking like a bumble bee! Finally Katy Perry's top and skirt seem to be a huge fashion step forward. Love the blue hair.

Miranda Cosgrove spills her style at kids choice awards!

Miranda Cosgrove has some trés interesting fashion opinions. I found a very interesting kids choice interview on YouTube of Miranda. Check it out!

I love her opinion but what do you guys think?

Boots are actually really popular this year especially with dresses/skirts or over skinny jeans. So don't forget to add boots to your spring wardrobe.

-Virgo

Bella Thorne super awesome video

Leather jackets are so in!

 You know, Scorpio has almost the same jacket.

Tips!

•  Try to go with a black leather jacket. That way you can wear you jacket with almost any shirt/dress (black works with everything)
•  Try with skinny jeans
•  Wear during spring and fall
•  Experiment with plain or sparkly jewelry (try not to go too colourful)

Good luck with putting your amazing outfit together!

How To wear boots in spring

What type of boots to look for!

• Tall boots in any colour (pick your favourite)
• Rubber boots (believe it or not)
• High heeled boots, not too high for school or walking
• Some furry boots (I would suggest dark colours)

What looks good with your spring boots!

• If you have tall boots in dark colours(black, brown, or grey)

                       - Try wearing the boots over skinny jeans (it looks so amazing and will never look old).

                       - I would suggest wearing the boots with a matching big one shoulder bag (since it's not a backpack it will actually help your posture look even prettier).

• If you're wearing rubber boots
•              - Go casual and don't over do it.
             - Get creative with your jewelery


• If you're going with high heeled boots

                       - Try wearing your adorable heels with feather earrings (totally amazing together)
                       - Don't forget to wear a proud smile.You're doing it, you're walking in heels!

• If you're wearing furry boots

                       - Try skinny jeans and a hoodie
                       - Try something nice and casual and enjoy the fur between your toes.

What to watch out for!

• If you're wearing tall boots

                       - Avoid wide jeans

                       - Try not to pull your skinny jeans over the boots

                       - Try not to step in something gross (I stepped in dog poo once :p yuck)

•  If you're going for the rubber boots

                       - Your boots are your fashion statement in this outfit try to avoid another one

                       - Raincoat+rain hat+rubber boots=fisherman look

• If you're wearing high heeled boots

                    - Try and skip the backpack (it might pull you back and you may feel wobbly)
                    - Don't wear on gym days or if you do, make sure you have running shoes in your locker.

• If you're wearing furry boots

                    - Try and avoid wearing leggings (you're giving away the cozy illusion)
                    - Avoid wearing additional furry things

How to

Hey everyone! I decided I'm going to start a new post series called "How To". I noticed my "how to wear a ruffled top" post has been getting a lot of views so I decided I'm going to do more of these for you guys. Please feel free to comment and make sure to tell me what you want to learn how to do (must be fashion/style related). I will do as many requests as possible.

Necklaces for your neckline

You have your round necks, your boatnecks and your v-necks. You can have any neckline you want, but remember: not all necklaces work for all necklines. I know I'm not the one who should be lecturing here; I've been wearing the same old necklace since August. But what I do know is that we haven't posted in AGES, so I might as well put something out there.

First I'm going to cover round necks. The best necklace type never has a charm or anything else that might pull it down into a V-shape. Round collar, round necklace. Pearls tend to look good depending on the colour of your top, and chokers are all right, especially with a longer necklace to balance it out.

Boatnecks are good with either a choker or a pendant dropping almost to waist level. A small necklace with a charm is all right in this situation but the main thing to steer clear of is a necklace that randomly goes under the shirt, covering the charm. If the neck is low make the necklace fit an inch or so above the neck of your shirt, or far below it.

V-necks can look really defined with a charm necklace, especially if it fits the shape of the neck. A layered strand necklace works as well if it isn't too long and if the lengths are just right.

I hope this helps,

The Clique

     Hey everyone, I just want to take the time to tell you guys about an awesome book series called The Clique. I was devastated when they finished, but like Lisi Harrison (the author) keeps mentioning, "all good things must come to an end" which is totally right! Anyway I'm totally going off topic. The Clique books are basically about a clique of girls and how they control their school. It is so funny and an amazing read. I would really suggest reading the series if you're into trends, girl drama, and the comedy genre.

-Virgo

Forever21

I really hope you guys have been enjoying the videos. I’m having fun making them. So what you guys have probably noticed is in my videos I’m constantly mentioning Forever21. I love the store; it’s amazing! I would actually really suggest going to Forever21 for your necklaces, bracelets and earrings. They are so amazing, really beautiful, good quality, and they are not that expensive. It’s totally worth going there if you’re looking to update your wardrobe. Lastly I just want to make it clear that these are my opinions and that everyone has different styles. Overall my fashion tip for today is to check out Forever21!

What do you think?

      Lots of people in out day are really into hanging out at the mall! Is this a good or bad thing? Personally I think the mall should be a place for people go to get necessities, not a place to kill time with friends. I'm certainly speaking for myself. Different people have different opinions? What's yours?  Make sure to vote.
