My First Blog

  Well I decided to start this blog because I get a lot of my style inspiration from walking around and seeing people on the streets. I love to see what they are doing with current trends. I think that we can learn a lot just by observing other people and taking their style ideas and incorporating them into our own. But, a lot of times, there are trends that I despise and I see them walking all around the streets. So, this blog is for me to hate on current trends, share trend ideas, and explore different styles. This all started about a month ago when I was noticing 3 very popular trends popping up on my campus...

  1- Fringe Boots: I understand these boots can be found in most fashion magazines and all the high-end designers have their own versions but I cannot stand them! Leave the suede and leather fringe back with the Native American Indians and the hippies... which brings me to my next trend

  2- Head Bands: don't get me wrong, I am all for hair accessories but, head bands should not be worn around the forehead... the reason this became a popular trend in the 70s is because people were not styling their hair. Both men and women were growing their hair long, so it was in their faces most of the time. This is why they started using headbands around their forehead to keep the hair out of their eyes.  It doesn't look cute, especially when it puffs up at the top making your head into the weirdest shape ever. Let's live in the present people and wear head bands the proper way around the head instead of trying to relive our parent's glory days!

  3- Leggings as pants: I am a firm believer that leggings were invented for 2 purposes... First, as a workout pant; they are flexible, breathable, and lightweight. Perfect for using when participating in yoga, pilates, and any various cardio exercises. Second, as a layering tool so you can wear that super cute dress even when its cold out. They were not designed to be worn in substitution for jeans, skirts, or any other bottoms. It drives me crazy when I see girls walking around with a cute top and nice shoes and then BAM! leggings... I just have one suggestion ladies, next time you see a girl with leggings on watch her as she walks, it doesn't matter what size or shape she is, there is jiggle... jiggle that could have been easily avoided with a nice pair of William Rasts!

  There are so many trends and people with different styles in the world. Trends are constantly changing and I think it is really important to know how to wear them properly. I want to help make you into the girl or guy everyone stares at when she is walking down the street. The best thing about cities is that the street becomes everyone's catwalk. Let's make sure you end up on the best dressed list!
