She doesn't just wear what the media deems to be “in”. What she wears has be Corrin-esque, and it has to have character. She loves to find unique things, like retro t-shirts or oddly colored pair of shoes, and contemplate the story behind them. Who wore them? What might that person have been like? The idea of giving the clothing new life, for her, is the fun part of fashion.<br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjlj817k9AWXMMh6HmaIC0KmPDe6_Rew7REZmsPs5t2jxBtFQXjyhAvy1UsG338rY3AY_aPOo4T-wtwsYbr9ZmTFBJ-NCVaZNuH4pNPhqAG9mc-RBdKT0i7_ooaLkac2dAzNJHGMhnBU7g/s1600/4.png"><img style="WIDTH: 320px; HEIGHT: 214px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5601098707018989266" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjlj817k9AWXMMh6HmaIC0KmPDe6_Rew7REZmsPs5t2jxBtFQXjyhAvy1UsG338rY3AY_aPOo4T-wtwsYbr9ZmTFBJ-NCVaZNuH4pNPhqAG9mc-RBdKT0i7_ooaLkac2dAzNJHGMhnBU7g/s320/4.png" /></a><br /><br />If a piece of clothing is collecting dust in her closet or wearing out, before she throws it away she asks herself if there is any creative change or alteration she make that would make it wearable again. “With a little change, I might love and wear [it] all the time… what you can and can’t 'pull off' is, a lot of the time, all in a person’s head. Granted, there are some colours and fits that flatter some people more than others, but as far as certain styles or patterns or maybe out-there outfits may go, YOU pull off what you want HOW you want”. Wise words.<br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiYn_ihVoNiztupEBIdNqEQLQq-cNcyunfTXUoEpUJtLITDeLHsp73DMqjJDTADvynvV6D_Xqh1Xh8V2p25jAhQB50yllYQAIEiGS-2ov77FWYhUd0iCkOtOe2MgvUro6u4c6Rrw4yAmZA/s1600/3.png"><img style="WIDTH: 400px; HEIGHT: 267px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5601104629687551490" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiYn_ihVoNiztupEBIdNqEQLQq-cNcyunfTXUoEpUJtLITDeLHsp73DMqjJDTADvynvV6D_Xqh1Xh8V2p25jAhQB50yllYQAIEiGS-2ov77FWYhUd0iCkOtOe2MgvUro6u4c6Rrw4yAmZA/s400/3.png" /></a><br />Huntington Beach<br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj1hA1qj0_1lKyxbFRtRGZLgBdOq61ENk0v3cVs14Or4v6fZob20dR8oYr9MruS0YtxaUTHzYRFV9r8Co5VY76AEmqL-tmhvpGRaphAK6baodPT0oRtc6UAkJlw8pS6yX-ZX7_Z-l_WKTg/s1600/3.png"></a><br />Disneyland<br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgy5CMmZglkj7L7ibl1on85ZD3EjiQbN3AGEXEy64TEiEWRRO3g8xqRXXCr6oA8oBP6QJAB-X9GSKVniZ2hqicaDJVy9Lky6080n4uiCdATR0avcEiTl5qU2MRpsC4Vp0JPJu6Idr9Yes0/s1600/6.png"><img style="WIDTH: 620px; HEIGHT: 407px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5601104593452372450" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgy5CMmZglkj7L7ibl1on85ZD3EjiQbN3AGEXEy64TEiEWRRO3g8xqRXXCr6oA8oBP6QJAB-X9GSKVniZ2hqicaDJVy9Lky6080n4uiCdATR0avcEiTl5qU2MRpsC4Vp0JPJu6Idr9Yes0/s400/6.png" /></a><br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhzNiSztewcrWRLne2navDHaqogkn8S4voO1LknKL0ox9K764VACcDnxjh2YUdULy6ISFavY8oOLRZDIPvqiLqFqMZqTjoAHjWTAQb0fcqaVVw3kIecbbGhdzecR-WSL9k4I2h9YFX36Uo/s1600/10.jpg"><img style="WIDTH: 289px; HEIGHT: 469px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5601100018929390082" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhzNiSztewcrWRLne2navDHaqogkn8S4voO1LknKL0ox9K764VACcDnxjh2YUdULy6ISFavY8oOLRZDIPvqiLqFqMZqTjoAHjWTAQb0fcqaVVw3kIecbbGhdzecR-WSL9k4I2h9YFX36Uo/s320/10.jpg" /></a> <a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgFAqnYnqWSFxAORIuS23ab19E_z1nrbFO3b75lLjbCB5NEl4sr1VkIDu7jl50uCvPig6oEqUQsk2lc_SgUHmLVjqbYDiBEbD8HMrQZijXXVjpnEaVPDgI77V55Bq8ici4T_d17MqSoRPs/s1600/5.png"><img style="WIDTH: 408px; HEIGHT: 317px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5601099960560916386" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgFAqnYnqWSFxAORIuS23ab19E_z1nrbFO3b75lLjbCB5NEl4sr1VkIDu7jl50uCvPig6oEqUQsk2lc_SgUHmLVjqbYDiBEbD8HMrQZijXXVjpnEaVPDgI77V55Bq8ici4T_d17MqSoRPs/s320/5.png" /></a><br /><br />The Whitehouse Resteraunt, Anaheim.<br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhnjf-0jwSqtNj7GsGOSiTuKkVi1_RfLUNV5NzkOJmrFn8E-Ou4NsO1eGK2eL7uCHJVbt-_tFKs5caV77A8vDVm7lY9ONefB487pBg5fgjpq9L27nJRAIFGKkM6db39Rg7v1qIheCL5-6Q/s1600/9.jpg"><img style="WIDTH: 320px; HEIGHT: 214px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5601102713596924578" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhnjf-0jwSqtNj7GsGOSiTuKkVi1_RfLUNV5NzkOJmrFn8E-Ou4NsO1eGK2eL7uCHJVbt-_tFKs5caV77A8vDVm7lY9ONefB487pBg5fgjpq9L27nJRAIFGKkM6db39Rg7v1qIheCL5-6Q/s320/9.jpg" /></a><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEggvnj0Am0r2GjL3wxZ97JLySSaNuVNNyU0_vhrOiWRbH2L5KbHxinpxxFcbVrQ5wfO9xzTOYkqTd9Hbqgn4qZOxf1lrxEex4UyZI4eGNFGTWuXeb3BCx5-GW4ZZ7gDvBegQTG0kxvle4A/s1600/7.jpg"><img style="WIDTH: 320px; HEIGHT: 261px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5601102708320849410" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEggvnj0Am0r2GjL3wxZ97JLySSaNuVNNyU0_vhrOiWRbH2L5KbHxinpxxFcbVrQ5wfO9xzTOYkqTd9Hbqgn4qZOxf1lrxEex4UyZI4eGNFGTWuXeb3BCx5-GW4ZZ7gDvBegQTG0kxvle4A/s320/7.jpg" /></a><br /><br />More fashion close-ups to come :)<br />till next time...<br />ELaina Brownhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17876765011647035685noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6211240344933488685.post-3159019454808341832011-04-20T20:43:00.001-07:002011-06-15T12:01:33.928-07:00Fashion Showdown: Jean vs Leather<span style="font-family:Bookman Old Style, Book Antiqua, Garamond;"><br />There are two jackets contending for your closet: leather and jean! Both could become your next staple item, both are hot on the trend-o-meter!<br /><br />so it's going to come down to your personal preference, and what works with YOU.<br /><strong>Questions to consider</strong>:<br /><strong><em>Are you a "cold" person</em></strong>? Are you naturally chilly? Maybe go for a leather jacket, which is a bit warmer for the summer season. Jean jackets breathe a bit more<br /><strong><em>What's Your Vision</em></strong>? What do you see working with your wardrobe? Look through your stuff and imagine adding a leather jacket or jean jacket to it. Which feels more comfortable and natural, or more excited and edgy? Also, wearing jean on jean is a fashion YES, but if you would feel awkward wearing a jean jacket with all your jean shorts and pants, then maybe you should <span id="SPELLING_ERROR_0" class="blsp-spelling-corrected">go for leather to add variety</span>.<br /><strong><em>Am I trying too hard</em></strong>? what!? NO! YOU'RE NOT! why are you even asking yourself this? just do it! Don't worry, you don't look like a greaser in leather, and a jean jacket doesn't make you look like you're going to kindergarten.<br /><strong><em>Hand-me-downs</em></strong>? 50 bucks says your mom or dad had one when they were your age, maybe it's still kicking around :) it's a great place to start.<br /><br />still unsure about where your loyalties lie? let's look at the photography to help you narrow it down...<br /><br />Below we have the lighter jean and leather variants: a <span id="SPELLING_ERROR_2" class="blsp-spelling-corrected">super worn light-wash</span> jean, and camel leather. <br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg5GqCbxLjMLtSd4FGEcrQOC7bR5jzCy5dExueXhgE4UNzhia3hyphenhyphenJxXTGJTSjpo8pLDY9DMp6EQlMmgKxCruXZjx2HvNuVgJ1itOFEbVK0wMRRHcY48-QRSaXGbogYvupQvE77wzmDY3Zw/s1600/blake_j_lb_001.png"><img style="WIDTH: 308px;

Even Purses! Neutral colours, black, and especially white are the colours to watch for. Note of caution, unless you're covering up on the beach, layer up! It might be nice to feel a summer breeze, but those holes can reveal more than the fresh air..<br />So have fun and try it out! I would give some guidelines here, but it's a pretty open trend. You can be organic, exotic, chic, clean...If there were any rules, they would just be to keep it fun, and don't over-complicate it. Don't be afraid to try something loose, or accessorize.<br />Try to buy one crocheted item in your spring/summer shopping this year.<br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjqNL7AWvDCHDaHz-OulD6gNXWj_5pCD_qkf2DKIf5g4r9eK2wtt7_e7Oaz9w7p21API7jC8-jVCBlxD0Txsm5u4tKyVR2sKNheOxl3EtuZ87K45C9GSQJWPlIFJqpcRH6s02NE7j1TYjk/s1600/Crochet+song+of+style.jpg"><img style="WIDTH: 358px;

The trends are... ... ...<br /><br />Knit with Pattern and Ovesize Sweaters!<br /><br />Knitted Pattern sweaters are great because they aren't only warm, but have tons of great colours and you could probably find a pretty sweet one thrifted. Here are some examples of some prime patterned sweaters:<br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi7G_6cvxGPJj__j5wu26oIGVIjmOnyNqAsznlA0FHpbPuX1Ly1iW-aNR_At73qbkQtIhw9rrCz9r2_hT3bmXv0T5v9StQoJr2V9fG4B3hWCgb4xNjkUpqUuyjEgZuSYQBVeO8CTT8uZSE/s1600/sweater_lb_bonnie_b.png"><img style="WIDTH: 399px; HEIGHT: 400px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5571748884636951938" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi7G_6cvxGPJj__j5wu26oIGVIjmOnyNqAsznlA0FHpbPuX1Ly1iW-aNR_At73qbkQtIhw9rrCz9r2_hT3bmXv0T5v9StQoJr2V9fG4B3hWCgb4xNjkUpqUuyjEgZuSYQBVeO8CTT8uZSE/s400/sweater_lb_bonnie_b.png" /></a><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi2m63o0UTBa4yeXsBn-diTURAT_lP6N_Xxm6weW7MDykcKt4bv5T3VwjQhtn2owLSJoNy87DOHhyphenhyphenNe4c5KH4pyPHxgmQdypEmEOdDbtIJJsjhMBzz1Z1PHXduxjLiFvnqtuGNdejhGG_w/s1600/sweater.jpg"><img style="WIDTH: 400px; HEIGHT: 300px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5571748877133717218" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi2m63o0UTBa4yeXsBn-diTURAT_lP6N_Xxm6weW7MDykcKt4bv5T3VwjQhtn2owLSJoNy87DOHhyphenhyphenNe4c5KH4pyPHxgmQdypEmEOdDbtIJJsjhMBzz1Z1PHXduxjLiFvnqtuGNdejhGG_w/s400/sweater.jpg" /></a><br />Awesome pattern, this is Christina Stilborn!! her photo as well.<br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiqnMgxhVyOroo3XNbl_GByF-sV-47AMo07k5fzs3O43neZ0JN9_vbt8W3dk4mwf48Ch6XPbroXj-6rDUlu4zi1KUgfORYmDN2T04VSxFL53LJmQl44i_J6l_czTbkJmPVxsAyu-50afCA/s1600/december10_36-372.jpg"><img style="WIDTH: 364px; HEIGHT: 337px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5571748878674452386" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiqnMgxhVyOroo3XNbl_GByF-sV-47AMo07k5fzs3O43neZ0JN9_vbt8W3dk4mwf48Ch6XPbroXj-6rDUlu4zi1KUgfORYmDN2T04VSxFL53LJmQl44i_J6l_czTbkJmPVxsAyu-50afCA/s400/december10_36-372.jpg" /></a><br />And the guys ones are SO nice...<br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjcL4w520hXIeg69IEORFTenPq9uJjqU3pTAMeDhBE_BPnNxzAjSg3xFaAU1cbphMzJiIXB8-WOEiHlZSeoDxE-QdGcF59_ouizHsyhzvmPazrbsJD95KQXLl4FMAZUjj862dmw4zE3W3A/s1600/simon_s_sweater.png"><img style="WIDTH: 229px; HEIGHT: 400px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5571750512451904290" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjcL4w520hXIeg69IEORFTenPq9uJjqU3pTAMeDhBE_BPnNxzAjSg3xFaAU1cbphMzJiIXB8-WOEiHlZSeoDxE-QdGcF59_ouizHsyhzvmPazrbsJD95KQXLl4FMAZUjj862dmw4zE3W3A/s400/simon_s_sweater.png" /></a><br />That was from H&M<br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhXp3zl3qPB8lWcU7J_mIW94o41CGo_xkxEMh_TqBk4Sbye79a3f-9Jy7CvwzG1Y49TrUj1u7Sp5Y53-y5xeCbpvihwkQPesHomucWz1xlbYPTUo1ejlzICga8yStQTyRhjn6lWz8ERTjo/s1600/marwan_e_lb_sweater.png"><img style="WIDTH: 400px; HEIGHT: 345px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5571750499560815298" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhXp3zl3qPB8lWcU7J_mIW94o41CGo_xkxEMh_TqBk4Sbye79a3f-9Jy7CvwzG1Y49TrUj1u7Sp5Y53-y5xeCbpvihwkQPesHomucWz1xlbYPTUo1ejlzICga8yStQTyRhjn6lWz8ERTjo/s400/marwan_e_lb_sweater.png" /></a><br />Oversize is a great theme as well, since you can wear these larger sweaters with leggings.. and really, is there anything more comfortable than an oversized-sweater and stretchy pants? dont think so. Stripes are the thing on over-sized sweaters right now, but retro colours and patterns are also pretty fantastic in my mind. A note about these: some girls can pull off any kind of large sweater, but I know I can go wrong pretty easy with a buky style. It's good to make sure it falls in the right places, and doesnt just bulk at the stomach. They can look good! Heavier fabrics or fabriscs that fall nicely are better.<br /><br />Here's some examples from the archives:<br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi6veZx7AQJQjuuZv-M9Op6vB1wsQDvDPOmNAPAe7oIWkBaq3kIWCqKoHxtisIyFG5ztPuUe4yh1oXP7iJ_wGlXT0U2vwb_NWGVGoJWjCNR2CRcOUtuW2cD-sjmwBv6Rmwzvy6YnsHtXm8/s1600/sweater+h%2526mimg_5696-4.jpg"><img style="WIDTH: 400px; HEIGHT: 201px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5571751909290371618" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi6veZx7AQJQjuuZv-M9Op6vB1wsQDvDPOmNAPAe7oIWkBaq3kIWCqKoHxtisIyFG5ztPuUe4yh1oXP7iJ_wGlXT0U2vwb_NWGVGoJWjCNR2CRcOUtuW2cD-sjmwBv6Rmwzvy6YnsHtXm8/s400/sweater+h%2526mimg_5696-4.jpg" /></a><br />American Apparel<br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEicKFASGYxJsNMvpBv10TDyqmbJh7XitjmqP4PW3UCL5jMs-02P8ZOZUhKZZ6ek7fjJrIyS6FZ73F2v1zyInOCSm2hqqyD8kjlkg1DSNr-Ox4CvzHBpyEEsEeaf3D4khK-iGodBEk98l-Y/s1600/skirtshorts+loose+top+yeah..+enya+m.jpg"><img style="WIDTH: 400px; HEIGHT: 374px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5571751896175049138" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEicKFASGYxJsNMvpBv10TDyqmbJh7XitjmqP4PW3UCL5jMs-02P8ZOZUhKZZ6ek7fjJrIyS6FZ73F2v1zyInOCSm2hqqyD8kjlkg1DSNr-Ox4CvzHBpyEEsEeaf3D4khK-iGodBEk98l-Y/s400/skirtshorts+loose+top+yeah..+enya+m.jpg" /></a><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgseVp7Iw4QX0vuXL0qmcDh4OvdRZbswfCZ2vQXO6H9OceXADfPf2eE_y-KzhnE0ioFWv2YgtC6T02OnoXXVKkqELt0JpmLk0QmfUy-VBeMFq1pD3hgF8AvjK21TpK_Juq_WEvjgMTNpYY/s1600/sweater+h%2526m.jpg"></a><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjQ_D_T73jNugxx3gmXH1pyFQsRci5I3XtWSuqYDkQlpS6q-UGZK_3hvwO5EFDWqaxuVjEpPeTIy3vJ_8_yl6rDlE4LfeMXqiI9pN7CfSY6QlY79m1nEufDfW5hnG1UJOJHx2d7maMi6C8/s1600/sweater+amer+app.jpg"><img style="WIDTH: 305px; HEIGHT: 305px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5571751914056015394" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjQ_D_T73jNugxx3gmXH1pyFQsRci5I3XtWSuqYDkQlpS6q-UGZK_3hvwO5EFDWqaxuVjEpPeTIy3vJ_8_yl6rDlE4LfeMXqiI9pN7CfSY6QlY79m1nEufDfW5hnG1UJOJHx2d7maMi6C8/s400/sweater+amer+app.jpg" /></a> i'd maybe wear some pants.. but hey.<br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhMw_r9IpY3dQQeBjBIMzOYxzg-OU91NVNB2NVVNifg34qzfrt8jNRa05sn5M-dvNTpgoh0P8G8oJyFSIlK52oLe2R2mhP-Qp2C4UyaRFriqjqh2QMe799tBsvmYdBJtJmZH_HzeNy1Fgg/s1600/alexandra_p_lb.png"><img style="WIDTH: 198px; HEIGHT: 400px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5572145655513338162" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhMw_r9IpY3dQQeBjBIMzOYxzg-OU91NVNB2NVVNifg34qzfrt8jNRa05sn5M-dvNTpgoh0P8G8oJyFSIlK52oLe2R2mhP-Qp2C4UyaRFriqjqh2QMe799tBsvmYdBJtJmZH_HzeNy1Fgg/s400/alexandra_p_lb.png" /></a><br /><br />Then there's the ultimate.. a combination of oversize-sweater and knitted and patterned! sweet!<br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg_Y7TlpaZAYpFzI_D9q8-wvndjpG3ONx4MsQ-Dq_Hwe75SHFV8IOoOcb4mdlxtDcnIHdJa0SDBdqOB7ytd6Cap771h-Be1z6U4i9Abdyeul34Z0VxomadaMj3YvcpWonK25w0P0N9_wGM/s1600/sweater_romwe.com_breanne_s.png"><img style="WIDTH: 400px; HEIGHT: 378px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5571752376532499810" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg_Y7TlpaZAYpFzI_D9q8-wvndjpG3ONx4MsQ-Dq_Hwe75SHFV8IOoOcb4mdlxtDcnIHdJa0SDBdqOB7ytd6Cap771h-Be1z6U4i9Abdyeul34Z0VxomadaMj3YvcpWonK25w0P0N9_wGM/s400/sweater_romwe.com_breanne_s.png" /></a><br />well I hope you enjoyed this episode of making it through the winter.. later!<br /><br />E<br /><br />Sources: in order of apprearance<br />caylee m/looknook<br />bonnie b/lookbook<br />Christina Stilborn<br />advertisement<br />Simon s/lookbook<br />Marwan e/lookbook<br />American Apparel<br />American Apparel<br />Lookbook<br />American Apparel<br />Alexandra P/Lookbook<br />Breanne S/LookbookLaina Brownhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17876765011647035685noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6211240344933488685.post-12208989264538459452011-01-25T21:41:00.000-08:002011-01-27T22:19:30.823-08:00Sun-Bleached Spring TonesTaking a peak at the spring 2011 <span id="SPELLING_ERROR_0" class="blsp-spelling-error"><span id="SPELLING_ERROR_0" class="blsp-spelling-error">lookbooks</span></span>, I was enchanted by the light <span id="SPELLING_ERROR_1" class="blsp-spelling-error">palette</span> of the colours.

An important thing to keep in mind when pairing a floral skirt with a top is to keep it neutral on top (grey, white, black, without pattern generally).<br /><br />Also notice where she is wearing the skirt on her waist, it's pretty high. It might take some getting used to, but its <span id="SPELLING_ERROR_3" class="blsp-spelling-error">supa</span> cute!<br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhAPW-rvo3YJ70WtcYRnYqhPg2LqYxmXMEw2M4jiwHaJ9fJYQQ980JEloSeY28uerf0Nz3SENrPvzwe7GKRbKadz-un2JZoxOFp8A6JKewcHafrlpk2mBRh11NmBBHz9_tkDwyp6CHMS5g/s1600/33935_435823041652_41881016652_5707507_6666227_n.jpg"><img style="WIDTH: 267px; HEIGHT: 400px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5561350667244989458" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhAPW-rvo3YJ70WtcYRnYqhPg2LqYxmXMEw2M4jiwHaJ9fJYQQ980JEloSeY28uerf0Nz3SENrPvzwe7GKRbKadz-un2JZoxOFp8A6JKewcHafrlpk2mBRh11NmBBHz9_tkDwyp6CHMS5g/s400/33935_435823041652_41881016652_5707507_6666227_n.jpg" /></a><br /><br />Even grey leggings can be done!

Unless you like to be a cartoon, then by all means...<br />- Careful when you are wearing baggy shirts underneath your skirt, because loose+loose can look a little sloppy.<br /><br />so lets keep the summer alive by wearing it on our bottoms!

Pretty hilarious commentary, and very true, check it out on the link below.<br />So many things that come down the runway are unwearable for the average person.. we have neither stick figures nor mounds of cash. I'm sorry designers, but a bright turquise top with party-purple pants WOULD make it look like I was trying too hard, or something else.<br /><br />Style.com's Spring 2011 Wardrobe Tips, Translated: <a href="http://b5m.cc/ag7N">http://b5m.cc/ag7N</a><br /><br />Enjoy!<br />-ELaina Brownhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17876765011647035685noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6211240344933488685.post-14412358368424209942011-01-05T11:10:00.000-08:002011-01-07T10:44:45.027-08:00Style On The Plane: PlumI had a fortunate meeting with fashion designer on my plane right to vacouver. Next to me sat Claudia, a designer for plum, and for the next hour she was all mine. Alright, I didn't bombard her with fashion questions, but I did her advice on shopping for Spring 2011!<br /><br /><br />Her advice to me was invest in floral prints (small floral bunches), flowy dresses and skirts, and she said military inspired clothing is still going strong. Awesome! (also bright girly colours will be in, as well as neutral earthy tones).<br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi8MkIgjjUCLuX2oq_laCST3GR1s__C89o9pCpr5f3qFhXXu-a23rcQX0qBd31BUOzu2JJhs_YoaEzVrd2sWnKdX4n3Px1h5CSPpEPlaHHckW9QAhyphenhyphenfqdTe8T10a-lbIb4Eve56LUe3smM/s1600/BB+Dakota.jpg"></a><br />Claudia was a very memorable and inspiring person, but she doesn't have a blog just yet, so I checked out the plum website just to see what it was about. I'm now subscribed to No Guru, the Plum fashion blog, and her personal suggestion was stylelikeyou.com.<br /><br /><br />Here are some pictures that highlight her suggestions for spring fashion:<br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgg2FGjCKDJkcMceZhm1nxP00_tj3mi-ojjBQ8jRBN9Qbjo5pqn-qk_7RdnqMuI7Q9ChYUKmPrGQ0wI0m0AnNywEOAc-vAcdWPA1nrBpN2cTt_GBcQLmd39w2ON81GCqHpY4LbQqNT9cQw/s1600/blogLaurenMoffatt.png"><img style="WIDTH: 172px; HEIGHT: 400px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5558985771013831650" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgg2FGjCKDJkcMceZhm1nxP00_tj3mi-ojjBQ8jRBN9Qbjo5pqn-qk_7RdnqMuI7Q9ChYUKmPrGQ0wI0m0AnNywEOAc-vAcdWPA1nrBpN2cTt_GBcQLmd39w2ON81GCqHpY4LbQqNT9cQw/s400/blogLaurenMoffatt.png" /></a><br />Lauren Moffatt<br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgkDd2hHrR1ThW2KpTd3Tel-7ng2MHcnU2GW9ozN6Dyz0qiiCa-JZFBUk-OB4805bEc2fYcyWUQehFBOtzVAb5XdZ3cxyLiwQNFRhP7G8acW4XwaFd1opryibzDjOpj5SaH6rSTrp_afU8/s1600/blogPLUM.jpg"><img style="WIDTH: 584px; HEIGHT: 373px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5558985254121989650" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgkDd2hHrR1ThW2KpTd3Tel-7ng2MHcnU2GW9ozN6Dyz0qiiCa-JZFBUk-OB4805bEc2fYcyWUQehFBOtzVAb5XdZ3cxyLiwQNFRhP7G8acW4XwaFd1opryibzDjOpj5SaH6rSTrp_afU8/s400/blogPLUM.jpg" /></a><br />Plum<br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi8MkIgjjUCLuX2oq_laCST3GR1s__C89o9pCpr5f3qFhXXu-a23rcQX0qBd31BUOzu2JJhs_YoaEzVrd2sWnKdX4n3Px1h5CSPpEPlaHHckW9QAhyphenhyphenfqdTe8T10a-lbIb4Eve56LUe3smM/s1600/BB+Dakota.jpg"><img style="WIDTH: 400px; HEIGHT: 267px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5558985766903649762" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi8MkIgjjUCLuX2oq_laCST3GR1s__C89o9pCpr5f3qFhXXu-a23rcQX0qBd31BUOzu2JJhs_YoaEzVrd2sWnKdX4n3Px1h5CSPpEPlaHHckW9QAhyphenhyphenfqdTe8T10a-lbIb4Eve56LUe3smM/s400/BB+Dakota.jpg" /></a><br />BB Dakota<br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi07-FP4BpeDMfm4bmyU2_dKNfNiDE77FwZKvpGd8QGm1w39x4w3Mm-Eu9bp29r9h26ZWMbf7a9G-1n-CGAMRZFcEuYJkiyxeEeau5gSZKKe25_k5hvrVagmuMFqgCoz14Kg6VPt_HjosQ/s1600/BLOGcapris.jpg"><img style="WIDTH: 248px; HEIGHT: 400px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5558984778859102770" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi07-FP4BpeDMfm4bmyU2_dKNfNiDE77FwZKvpGd8QGm1w39x4w3Mm-Eu9bp29r9h26ZWMbf7a9G-1n-CGAMRZFcEuYJkiyxeEeau5gSZKKe25_k5hvrVagmuMFqgCoz14Kg6VPt_HjosQ/s400/BLOGcapris.jpg" /></a><br />BB Dakota<br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiUKUrO5Lq8cwBft0JuO8FeTky9bUqTBZ1G7nrDr7NLyGGKxLfpn1ojOJI3Om1ju5Uai9148FtT58fsyQo32skyjkkj60wy0g6YNQKJ0ac2XRDqUo0deRzuJCcqqi03B_Qi6-KYXjcslYw/s1600/bb-dakota-spring-2011-13.jpg"><img style="WIDTH: 400px; HEIGHT: 305px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5558984500141073090" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiUKUrO5Lq8cwBft0JuO8FeTky9bUqTBZ1G7nrDr7NLyGGKxLfpn1ojOJI3Om1ju5Uai9148FtT58fsyQo32skyjkkj60wy0g6YNQKJ0ac2XRDqUo0deRzuJCcqqi03B_Qi6-KYXjcslYw/s400/bb-dakota-spring-2011-13.jpg" /></a><br />BB DakotaLaina Brownhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17876765011647035685noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6211240344933488685.post-77945134888081312212010-12-29T22:46:00.001-08:002010-12-29T22:53:14.600-08:00Get it: Khaki Jacket<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjC_uXA28U_LPWEtBWSkThJCXBm9DquySDdP59_GJEZUGwUS4Ev4Dw9XYw_4xt4HqWU3gj1WJ6Xd2I81ti2m8l493c0s0gCSd0i_Of1lZRUkt9EOjmwMMhXSRFimIYGkrrN1eeBwYTdSrE/s1600/thing_25585628_l.jpg"><img style="WIDTH: 300px; HEIGHT: 300px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5556364616108106290" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjC_uXA28U_LPWEtBWSkThJCXBm9DquySDdP59_GJEZUGwUS4Ev4Dw9XYw_4xt4HqWU3gj1WJ6Xd2I81ti2m8l493c0s0gCSd0i_Of1lZRUkt9EOjmwMMhXSRFimIYGkrrN1eeBwYTdSrE/s400/thing_25585628_l.jpg" /></a> (Top-Shop)<br /><div><br /><br /><div><div>The Khaki green jacket is a great winter-wear item.

Top Shop, H&M, New Look had designs and fabrics that inspired a new passion within me. This small city girl from Saskatchewan had her nikey* socks blown off. I had a lot of lost time to make up for, but it was inticed.<br />Since then I have been scowering blogs, tv shows, and webpages, when I need a break from the textbooks. I have gathered so many pictures, I figured, why not share it? Maybe someone will enjoy my discoveries, and maybe this will help me become even more savvy. I believe participating in the culture you wish to be apart of is an important part of growing, so here I am.<br />Enjoy my pictures and posts! I'm no run-way diva, but I love the industry... and I like to think I have style....ish....Laina Brownhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17876765011647035685noreply@blogger.com0
