The Cropped Jean Jacket

You don't have to be a trucker or construction worker to wear a jean jacket. All you really need is a  Nice Up-to-date Denim jacket with Two front chest pocket, cuffed sleeves, cropped hem, and vintage buttons with engraved details. For example here are three similar jackets all from a different Stores and all are different prices(depending on your budget). So whether you want to spend a little or a lot you can be part of this trend.

Forever 21

 Conductor Stripes Denim Jacket Price $25

Urban Outfitters

Levi's Trucker Denim Jacker $79

Free People

Today's Denim Jacket $150 

O.m.g yes I found it, the jean jacket I want (besides my mothers Vintage Sergio Valente). This Cropped Denim is really back in style and I love Free People for this little masterpiece. I saw it on the display of their Upper Eastside store (1319 3rd Avenue) and I had to take a step backwards for a second look. Im so happy, I just need to buy it to be complete. For the mean time, I've been wearing my mothers jean jacket (which is from the 90s) almost everyday since the weather has been constantly in the 40s and 50s.  Denim is honestly addicted. However, whether you purchase the forever 21,  Levi's or Thrift jean jacket, you can not go wrong with either purchase because a nice jean jacket will come in handy on those chilly spring days. They're cute and can be worn casually or dressed up with heels. Having one of these jackets will be one of the best jackets ever owned.

Oh yeah...the BRIGHTS!!!

Home after a Long day...My spring Break has officially started. Oh yeah, Im excited even though is snowing/raining in NYC. I keep thinking spring is suppose to be here, but we still have snow minus the blizzard. Is a fact when people say that the weather in "New York" is "Bipolar." However, atleast we know that spring is on its way, because after the brutal winter I am so glad to finally feel some heat waves coming our way.  Fashion-wise is the best season for colors, oh yeah I said it COLOR!!! This is the season to enjoy fashions bright colors and get away with it. So take advantage of spring, and wear the oranges and yellows; is ok to be lighter and brighter!!! These are only a few items from my Urban Outiftters Wish-list. 

Kimchi Blue Silky Strapless Dress $59

The sweetheart neckline makes this very pretty dress even prettier.  I cant wait till it gets warmer :) 

BDG CLassic Solid Breezy Button Down Shirt $38

I have this shirt in White and I can't get enough of it; however for the spring you need bold colors and BDG has giving us just that. This yellow is bright but yet soft and can be easily worn with  jeans or shorts. It is also available in: Turquoise & Orange which is amazing!!! I really recommend this purchase, because you can wear it so many different ways since its so versatile (Fits loose, breezy, light, and comfortable)

Sparkle and Fade Chiffon Crop Tee

This top is very pretty and this pink color is gorgeous. Sheer chiffon tee looks great with a high-waist skirt and gladiators sandals for a stroll out in the streets. Is Perfect for the Spring :)

 Cooperative Loose Button-Up Shirt $49

This button down is loose and breezy, easier to dress up. Is lightweight and you can wear it with shorts or flirty skirt. The shirt is cropped so remember, if you want to tuck it in it has to be into high waisted pants, shorts, skirts etc. 

Also Available in this gorgeous blue. I love how in the picture the model has the button down tied in a knot (making her look extra chic & flirty).

One of a Kind Vintage Piece: Rodebjer Maili Printed Tunic $195

This tunic has a straight silhouette and a long v-neck, that accents any body type. All the colors in this dress complement each other and would look great on any skin tone.

Summer is Here and there is a New Hair Trend...

So it makes sense to tie up all the hair out of your face and bare your glamours shoulder and neckline. This hair trend has made its presence every where in the streets in NYC. Just tie your hair all up in a messy bun or knot and you're all set to go.

Example: :) 

Oh Wedges...

Mercer & Gracelle Wedge Shoes only $100 ea.

I am in love again with these Suede Beige/Tan Booties that would make any outfit look AMAZING. These shoes are 9.50 Height and the Heel is 6'' . The Gracelle Cutout Wedge are perfect for the spring, with the cutout details and peeptoe. You can pair both with an oversized tee and cropped skinnies!!! You can find these both @ shopnastygal.com

Nail Polish obsession...

Nails make the first impression. So this spring make sure your nail color is refreshing and a la mode. This season 2011nail polish trends come with bright, nudes, metallics, and peachy colors. 

Coffeti-Metallic Golds

Gold is a new spring trend and your nails will obviously glow with a springy bohemian feel. Gold nails will compliment any outfit with its uniqueness and metallic finish. Deborah Lippmann Price $16 and Dior $21 

Blues

Mac, Mac, Mac we all Love you, and these colors will make us love you more. Blues look ravashing and rich. Your nails will be spotted right away. MAC Nail polish (Biker Blue or Blue India) Price $14

The Nudes

Nude is always in no matter what season it is. Is simply refreshing, an this color from American Apparel comes with a high gloss formula. Price $6.

Bright Coral Red

Red Nails never go Out of Style. Red nails are a real and never failing accessory that will always get attetion drawn to your hands. So next time you're at Bloomingdales or Duane Reade make sure to pick up a Red Nail Polish: check out Essie's One of a Kind Poppy Red $9 or Chanel Price $25 

 

New Coat: Katy + O.P.I

My friends recently started wearing this Cool O.P.I Shattered Coat (a collaboration with Katty Perry) which I think is so Distinct and Cool because it crackles to create a textured look. So next time you're near a O.P.I stand of polishes pick it up!!! Its seriously a cool coat. Price $9

Peachy

This season I have grown a particular interest for this peach color. I don't know why but these Peachy nail polish colors are heavenly and will bring anyones Tan Out (I think this is why I love, love it!!!). Dior $16 and Pritti NYC $12.50

The Faux Fur Coat Phenomenon!!!

Here's a statement making coat, that will get you noticed when you walk down the street: Faux Fur!!! I will be honest to say that I still have mixed feeling about this new trend. This pass fall when I would go to class and see at least 3 girls with a huge Faux Fur Coat, and I didn't know whether I liked it or not. I was so confused. I would admit that if you wear it right way, it might actually look good on you, so if you're considering this new Faux Trend here are some coats to consider on your search. 

Leopard Baby!!!

This Baby here is from Zara, and although I am NOT a fan of Animal prints I saw people actually pulling it off. If you like animal prints, then definitely get one for the fall season. They're Cosy and Chic and will keep you warm during those cold nights. They're now hard to find but are on sale since winter is finally over. This one is Priced at $100

Kate Moss

This is for some motivation, if you're still skeptical about the leopard fur. Here is Kate Moss, a fashion Icon and trendsetter, wearing her very on Vintage Susan Lucci leopard Faux Fur coat. Kate Moss has been wearing prints for a long time now, so she is an expert at pulling this baby off.

Long Tall Sally 

This is one of my Favortites, if I were to Buy myself a Faux Coat for the FALL!!! Long Tall Sally currently has one in dark mink colour. This dark chocolate color is actually gorgeous when I saw it I just wanted to Blog about it, because even the price is incredible $90 (on Sale of course). It would look great with an evening dress, but it will look even better with skinny jeans and hippie booties .                       

Sarah Jessica Parker 

One of my fashion Idols wearing a lovely Star Wars-esque Coat.

 Oh Sarah, you are so Fashion Savvy.

Juicy Couture 

Sand Faux Fur with Removable Ribbon

Its on sales right now at Bloomingdales from $315

How to Wear it!!! 

Both the Juicy Couture Faux Coat and Long Tall Sally can be worn like the photo below. She is simply wearing a black Tee and a Black skirt with sheer black tights and looks very chic.

Top Shop

 This cool faux fur vest with buckles is from topshop. This is the perfect accent piece, you can dress an outfit up by throwing this fashion forward environmentally friendly furry friend on. Priced at $160

Nicole Richie

Do it Like Nicole, even though these vest are perfect for the fall and layering them over cute cardigan sweaters, don't be afraid  to wear it with a simple cute dress to add a little bit a spunk to it. I love how she work the yellow dress with her Vintage faux fur, both pieces really complement each other. 

 The Queen of Fur is Rachel Zoe

Celebrity stylist Rachel Zoe is known for her passion for fur. She now has her own clothing and accessory line which is sold on QVC which includes some of her favorite faux fur pieces. Even celebrities like Kim Kardashian and Mary Katy Olsen are wearing her exclusive pieces. Fashion is supposed to be fun, no one should be limited to same predictable style every single day.  A little faux fur vest is like a special piece of clothing that is not owned by everyone, and will help you stand out and look different. Is not a staple in my wardrobe yet but Im truly considering stepping out of my comfort zone for the fall season and follow stylist Rachel Zoe foot steps.

 

Is it a Fad or a Trend...who Knows...

Fur is Phenomenon and if you missed out this last fall is ok there's always time for this upcoming fall. It will be EVERYWHERE AGAIN and that is a Fact my friend. I might give into all this Faux Fur movement and get myself a little vests from Stella McCartney or Topshop because so many more are joining the furry revolution. One thing is for sure I will never get the real thing, because Im a vegetarian and should keep things animal friendly.  I will also stay way from the leopard prints,  I don't think I have it in me to pull it off like Kate Moss. Anyways if you come across a little furry thing, think twice before walking away without it!!! It might come in handy a few seasons from now. Faux Fur might just be in it for the long run oppose to being an obscure season fad.

Sweet Make-up Coverage!

So I'm a make-up lover and so is 80% of the women population and Is it just me or sometimes our make up seems to ware off in matters of a few hours??? Well I found a little and temporary solution: Smashbox Concealer Camera Ready Full Coverage stick, is simply awesome!!!I've been using Bare Minerals products for a couple of years now but sometimes I just need a little more coverage (especially to cover up blemishes). Bare Minerals is amazing and has actually helped me improve my skin; however this little Smashbox concealer stick will help the ladies cover up 'that annoying pimple that appeared last night while you  asleep' or 'the bags under your eyes because you party too hard last night'. This concealer is available in Sephora for only $18. This is the newest staple in my makeup bag, make it yours too!

David Galan oh oh..oh my...Im in Love!!!

So I hear this man, David Galan, knows what women want (can you believe it, a man that actually understands what women want) is absolute genius.  His bags are eye catching and filled with colors (perfect for now: Spring.) He's all into funky fabric and chains so if you're looking for a completely different look, he's the man you need to shop for! He created his handy bags as a way for Us (women) to spice up the wardrobes and add just the right touch to our outfits.  This (freaking) awesome Taupe bag called Venus by (the man himself) David Galan, is perfect for any occasion; work, school, or simply just everyday. This is a Great Looking Bag and AFFORDABLE too priced at $260.

Elle Macpherson Intimates

Subtly sculpting boned cups (available in two colors ruby-red and pastel-pink) by Elle Macpherson Intimates' Boudoir is a magnificent collection of Intimates and Lingerie. Elle Macpherson cohesively used a lot  of lace and mesh on her bras, adding a fabulously feminine touch and sexy feel. I think this collection is very sexy and fashion forward; with its beautiful laces, fabric, and trims combining a style that sets them apart from other intimates or lingerie lines.  My favorite is this Ruby-red sheer lace (Priced at $80) which I'm absolutely in love with and want soon!!! Elle Macpherson Intimates bras are exquisite and you can find her collection at Bloomingdale's, Nordstrom, Saks or on her site ellemarphersonintimates.com
