Spike Up Your Basic Black Dress with Jewels & Color

by Julia DiNardo

Sometimes it takes stripping away all signs of color to make one really appreciate its importance and significance. Take, for instance, one of my favorite LBDs paired with dark shades — without a dose of color in the look I think I might be able to pass for nominally chic, but some glitz across the neckline and some suede coral stunners on my feet elevate the look to a true fashions statement. Trends will come and go, but mixing in the right amount, and the perfect complimentary shades will always be in style. Start out simple with just 1-2 color infusions with a black dress, and you’ll see what a different it makes.

My Sofft Morocco Coral Suede Wedges are also available in blue or champagne shades, and of course, black, if you decide to keep your footwear neutral but dare to present color elsewhere in your look. Word to the wise: if you are going to do an all-over monochrome look or solid color in a top, know which colors look best on you. For me, right next to my face, the most complimentary shades are it’s coral/red/pink and then hues of blue and turquoise. Nothing in the yellow or lime green, or orange family, please!

8 Under $20: J. Crew’s Having a Sale (CollegeCandy Guest Post)

by fashionpulse

One of my favorite places to shop before school is J.Crew.  Everything about it is sophisticated, fresh and fabulous.  But my only issue with the store is that all that sophistication doesn’t come cheap. Sometimes I’ll walk in, pick up a cute skinny belt for my new pencil skirt (from Marshalls…), look at the price tag and try not to strangle myself with it.  $89 dollars for a string of leather???

As I repeat to myself, There are people starving in Africa, there are people starving in Africa, I promptly leave the store empty handed, looking wistfully back at the perfectly put together outfits in the window.

But thanks to store turnover and a whole new crop of Fall fashion pouring into J. Crew stock rooms nationwide, I can finally fulfill my J. Crew dreams. Yes, it’s time for their end-of-summer sale they’ve got some really great goodies to offer, all under $20!  I even spotted a leather skinny belt! Let the celebration commence.

I am totally for this all-over-mini-ruffles flirty number. The neon elastic waistband makes a perfect fit for tucking in (with a cute white tee), or going casual.  I’m loving the stone blue color for fall as well; with a cute pair of tights this skirt can be transformed into the perfect fall outfit.

Imagine this: sitting in the nearest coffee shop, poring over your laptop, sipping a latte….wearing this. Isn’t that a perfectly painted picture? That’s immediately what I thought of when this beautiful double knit sweater graced me with its presence.  It’s an easy pullover for a chilly day, sheer, and super soft (for all of those cute boys hanging all over you in the quad).

This rocker-glam inspired accessory is perfectly balanced with the super feminine attitude of the skinny belt. I love it! It also comes in mustard yellow (i.e. bronzed avocado). Buying Tip: It’s designed to be worn on the natural waist, so get a size bigger if you want to wear it lower.

I am a BIG fan of cardigans for fall. Or always.  And I am constantly looking for another one to liven up my layering.  This one is the perfect color to brighten up those dreary fall days and cropped to perfection. It will look adorable with flats and a light-weight scarf. And can you see the chic add-on of those blingin’ buttons? Heaven.

Embellished Tunics For Free & Floaty Summer Style! (thefind.com Guest Post)

by fashionpulse

From our friends at thefind.com:

When it comes to summer style, I am loving the embellished tunic trend — not just for their elaborate, intricate details like embroidering and beading, but also for their versatility that allows you to rock them all summer long, day or night. Tunics are a step up from your basic tees and tanks because they’re just as comfortable (with lots of breathing room!) but dress things up just a bit with their day-friendly sparkle, or can even dress things up a whole lot, depending on how you choose to rock it! Wear one with jeans or with a pair of shorts and espadrilles for a casual but upscale daytime look, or if the length of the tunic allows for it, wear it as a dress or with leggings and heels for a night on the town!

This Tory Burch tunic is your perfect basic embroidered and embellished version, and is the perfect length for pairing with a pair of shorts. For a more daring look, this fringed tunic by J. Crew is funky without looking too fancy for daytime, and I’m loving the Moroccan feel of this coin-embellished tropical print one by Tibi, both available at Net-a-Porter. If you’re willing to embrace the sheer trend that’s so hot for summer, this Plenty by Tracy Reese smocked tunic is sparkly and gorgeous over a tank or cropped cami!
