tie neck trend DIY

[One of the greatest things about the tie neck trend is that it can easily be DIY'ed! Just grab your favorite blouse and a velvet ribbon. Banana Republic Dillon-Fit Oxford Pocket Shirt, $68; Boohoo Misha Velvet Tie Choker, $3]

As far as trends go, this may be one of the easiest around: take a classic blouse or straightforward dress, add an adornment of a lengthy black ribbon, loop it into a drooping bow, and voila! Tie neck trend achieved! I love  a pieced together look, updated with a more dainty, long ribbon lazily tied around the neck with the ends casually trailing downward. I’ve included five shoppable example of the tie neck look, with the bonus of an example of how simple and versatile it can be to DIY this trend.

Beauty Tuesday: Choose Your Cleanser, Set Your Lifestyle

by

Isn’t it funny when the little things can truly make a big difference? Take for example, face cleanser: the ritual, experience, and results can mean different things to different people. For me, it has been traditionally been my least favorite step in my skincare regime, even though a recently washed face is a revitalizing sensation unlike any other. I think that I haven’t enjoyed it as much a I could is due in part to using cleansers in the past that weren’t optimal for my skin, and the feeling that I need to rush through this step to spend more time on the toning, serum, and cream stages.

Among the abundance of fashion and beauty looks experiencing a revival from the 90s and early 2000s are wide leg bottoms, and more specifically, flare and bell bottom styles. Perfect for the upcoming fall season, this leg-lengthening fit is sure to be flattering on anyone. Flare style, as opposed to bell bottoms, are less exaggerated and narrower in silhouette, making them ideal for a less bold, more casual look. To take the statement silhouette even further, many brands are offering high-low versions of the bell-bottom style. Check out Alice + Olivia’s version, featuring a high waist and ideal look for a day-to-night piece. For a bolder take on the same look, try Topshop’s Mermaid Frill Trousers.

In the denim department, staple pieces like the Citizens of Humanity Drew High Rise Crop jeans or Paige Denim’s High Rise Bell Canyon jeans will take you straight through the colder months in style.
