Denim Short for Every Shape

Queen Bee — Fri, 06 May 2011 04:20:01 +0000

Summers on the East Coast are too hot for jeans, so if you want to wear denim, it has to be shorts. Luckily, there are tons of shorts styles to choose from like cuffed shorts, bermuda shorts, short shorts, high waisted shorts, etc.

Basically, there is a style for every body type. If you haven’t found one that complements your shape, keep trying! You’ll find your soulmate.

I don’t know. I couldn’t think of a title. My brain is short circuiting from all the finals prep. I’ve been surfing my favorite sites during my down time because I’m gearing up for a celebratory shopping spree when I finally graduate.

Stopping Short

Queen Bee — Fri, 08 Apr 2011 04:11:01 +0000

Today, I wore shorts for the first time this year. Finally! You’d think that shorts are shorts, but there is quite a variety to choose from like pleated, cuffed, culottes, bermudas, hot pants, etc.

From asos.com

Personally, I prefer pleated because I think they look best on girls with curvy thighs like me.

Now that I’m back and Prom Mafia isn’t on auto-pilot, it is time to share some of my awesome Christmas gifts! My guy did an exceptionally good job at gift selection this year (as did I, if I may say so myself! Who doesn’t want a Boise State Snuggie?) and had clearly been checking here for hints. I’ve mentioned these booties from Spotted Moth quite a few times and I was so excited to find them under the tree!

Expect to see them in all my outfit posts from now on because I’m never taking them off!

What was your favorite Christmas gift?

Checking in with Nordies

Queen Bee — Wed, 19 May 2010 04:05:10 +0000

One major drawback to Boise (the only one I’ve identified so far) is the absence of a Nordstrom. There’s talk of a Nordstrom’s Rack going in, but nothing definitive. I’m thinking about moving here when I’m all done with school but I don’t know how I will get along without my favorite department store.

Here are some of their new arrivals I’ve been looking at. I could always shop online, but trying stuff on is one of my favorite parts of shopping.

These loose but tailored shorts are perfect for girls with muscular legs (like me). And the square pockets, as opposed to diagonal pockets, make your hips look smaller.

Zac Posen for Target

Queen Bee — Fri, 16 Apr 2010 04:36:18 +0000

Our dear friend Zac is getting ready to launch a collection for Target. In fact if you’re in NYC, you can snag this stuff now at the Target pop up store! I’ve been somewhat underwhelmed with the past few celebrity Target collections, but this one is fabulous. There are quite a few pieces I desparately want to add to my wardrobe.

Here are some of my favorites:

Romping Around

Queen Bee — Thu, 01 Apr 2010 04:01:36 +0000

I’m so excited all that awful snow has finally melted here in DC and the flowers are a-bloomin’. Yesterday was absolutely gorgeous so I played outside and snapped a few pics (after school, of course!). I recently purchased my very first romper from Target and I’m still a bit unsure how to pull off this trend.

I decided to pair it with a brown suede belt from Zara (ps- it’s pronounced tha-ra).

And my new brown ankle boots that I snagged on sale from Charlotte Russe.

I don’t have any colorful patterned tanks so I added a piece of Liberty cotton fabric underneath the V-neckline.

Did I pull it off?

Funny enough, my mom was into this trend when she was my age. It’s kind of eerie how similar our outfits are!

How would you wear a romper?

Spring (fashion) Forward

Fashion Flash — Sat, 13 Mar 2010 04:12:44 +0000

Spring is just around the corner, Mafiettes! Weather allowing, it’s time to start thinking about wardrobe innovations to transition smoothly and fashionably into the new season.

According to The Skinny, floral and animal prints will come into play once more during this year’s spring season. Dakota Fanning wore a leopard-print dress for the December Teen Vogue, and a similar version of it is now available at Forever 21 in its resort collection.

According to Elle, prints may also appear on draped clothing items, such as draped rompers and dresses inspired by Burberry and Emilio Pucci. A season ago, a fashionista may have envisioned a romper as the perfect prison jumpsuit or a model in a draped dress as a person in a shower curtain, but this time they will be not only fun but also fashionable to wear all spring.

Furthermore, graphic tees will allow guys and girls to express themselves casually without breaking the bank. The Skinny featured graphic tees in their Valentine’s Day “Graphic Romance” photo shoot, calling the graphic shirt “anything but dull.” In their photo shoot, Forever 21 pairs graphic shirts with a fairy tale-esque pink mesh skirts, a fashion trend that appeared in last fall’s H&M Magazine.

Spring will be the time to pump up the volume, ladies. Stay away from flat and lifeless hairstyles. On an Elle poll, readers agreed that Drew Barrymore’s dead hair she wore to the Golden Globe Awards wasn’t as impressive as the sky-high bouffant Beyonce wore to the Screen Actors Guild Awards. Elle readers also voted for Sandra Bullock’s loose, sideswept bun that she wore to the Golden Globes over the textured and pulled-back hair she sported at the SAGs.

Redheads of both genders, embrace the hair. Red hot locks like those from the Louis Vuitton Spring 2010 show and Coco Rocha for Vogue will be as hot as their color for the year. Recommended hairstyles for both redheads and non redheads, according to Elle, are braids like Lauren Conrad’s and loose buns, such as that one that Sandra Bullock wore to the Golden Globe Awards. According to Fashionising, 1960s hairstyles will make a rebound, igniting a pin-up girl hair frenzy. Girls, it is time to kick old school again and pull out those hot rollers; there will be no curling irons this time around. As for those who cut their hair to a bob last year, fret not. Elle reports that outgrown bobs will also be in style for the spring season.

Finally, turquoise is officially the color of 2010, and not without reason. According to Pantone, the company chose turquoise as the color of the year for evoking its “soothing, tropical waters and a languorous, effective escape from everyday troubles of the world, while at the same time restoring our sense of well being.” Turquoise already appeared in the Proenza Schoulder Spring 2010 collection, as well as the Jason Wu’s 2010 shirts, dresses and harem pants.
