HOW TO WEAR: BODY CHAINS

22 August 201422 August 2014Posted in FashionTagged chain, Circular Faux Jewels Body Chain, Kendall Jenner, Vanessa HudgensLeave a comment

If you’re anything like us, then you’re a firm believer in the idea that chain-ge is good. And with the end of summer rapidly approaching (say it ain’t so!), now’s as good a time as any to start implementing a bit (or a bunch) of it into your wardrobe. Enter the bodacious body chain, a summer staple seen on the likes of Beyonce, Vanessa Hudgens, Kendall Jenner, and Bad Girl RiRi herself.

So what is it about these layered, shimmery goods that everyone loves so much? Well, first off, it’s the perfect way to subtly add a bit of chic-shine to your outfit. Second, it’ll totally accentuate your hot bod by bringing attention to those abs you’ve been working on. And third, well, we’re into anything Queen Bey is into, #justsayin.

Here are three surefire ways to wear a body chain:

1. Over a swimsuit. Whether you’re a bikini babe or a one-piece kind of gal, a body chain will easily complement your beachside or poolside look without looking like you’re trying too hard. Our advice: Go for a chain that’s on the simpler side (like the Circular Faux Jewels Body Chain), especially if you plan on actually getting into the water.

2. Over (or underneath) a cropped top. When it comes to fashion, think of your body as a canvas. And since a cropped top is only covering your top half, why not add a little something-something to drape down the bottom half? You really can’t go wrong with this next-level look. Our advice: Keep the layering around your neck at a minimum. Instead of throwing on an extra necklace, try a couple of rings and bracelets instead.

3. Over a dress. Nothing gets a conversation going (mostly compliments, obvi) more than a body chain over a dress. It’s not only beyond chic but also very unpredictable, so take pride in the fact that you decided to step it up a notch that day. Our advice: Go with a basic colored dress to really make your chain pop, like a sleek #LBD.

Ahead, a collection of body chain inspiration shots

#CAMOUFLAGE

16 August 201416 August 2014Posted in FashionTagged CAMOUGLAGELeave a comment

Camo has come a long way, from actual army attire to popular perennial print. Nowadays it’s no longer under the radar, popping up everywhere and on everything from shirt pockets to full-body jumpsuits. But what’s one difference between the camo you would wear at boot camp and the camo you would wear, say, boot shopping? Well, the former has you blending in, while the latter will keep you standing out. So whether you’re a real army brat or a pretend platoon princess, here are camo pieces that’ll have you rising in the fashion ranks. We wouldn’t be surprised if soon you were first in command…

AUGUST WITH SHORTS

12 August 201412 August 2014Posted in FashionTagged FASHION, https://saradalmontestyle.wordpress.com, shorts, Southern Curls & PearlsLeave a comment

August with shorts.

It’s the hottest month of the year in a lot of places, and in some, extremely dry or really humid. When it’s so warm that you can’t even fathom choosing a cute outfit to run errands or meet friends for lunch in, it’s hard to think of style as a priority. That’s where loose-fitting, airy, and really adorable shorts come in. Forget denim, these flowy embellished shorts are all you need to pair with a t-shirt and sandals. No worrying about tight jeans or a dress sticking to you when it really heats up.

Southern Curls & Pearls

Pom-pom shorts: Floral prints bordered by cute pom-poms or tassels make for a springy look when it’s far past spring.

Pair them with a light, semi-sheer tank like Southern Curls & Pearls and you are sure to beat the heat. Love the heart sunnies, too!

Gal Meets Glam

Embroidered shorts: A pair of gauze shorts in a cotton fabric keeps you cool on the go but also serves as a great beach cover-up.

The embroidery is beautiful and looks great with gold accessories for a glowing summer look.

The Little Magpie

Lace shorts: Breezy satin shorts are perfect for cooling off, but they’re also a great layering piece.

The lace hemline gives them a feminine feel, and I love them with the contrast of basic sneakers and a pullover.

The Sweetest Thing

Scalloped shorts: Basic printed shorts are instantly dressed up with a scalloped edge. Throw a blouse on top and complete the look with chic wedges. The image above shows just how classy a pair of easy-going shorts can be if you combine them with the right accessories and hairstyle.

Seams for a Desire

The short: Asymmetrical shorts were huge last summer and it seems all the biggest fashion bloggers are breaking them out again this year. This is one old trend that has been glammed up and totally transformed. The silhouette elongates your legs like a micro-mini would. And the possibilities for shoe pairings? Endless!

SUNGLASSES FOR EVERY TIME

11 August 201411 August 2014Posted in FashionTagged FASHION, SUNGLASSESLeave a comment

We can all agree that one of, if not your most important accessory come summer time is what sunglasses you’re wearing.
There are two trends we see that are going to make summer 2014.
1. ALL ABOUT MIRROR: Mirror has been the trend for a bit now, NOT A FAD, A TREND. We see this will go strong through summer 2014 and manufacturers are only making the trend stronger by coming out with some awesome design that have mirror lenses. If you don’t have a pair of mirror lens sunglasses it’s time to consider buying a pair right now.The brand doing mirror the best right now is Ray-Ban.

2. ROUND SUNGLASSES MAKE THE WORLD GO…ROUND: Round has been trending for a bit as well but going stronger into summer 2014. Celebrities able to pull the round frame look are wasting no time in rockin’ round shades. Do you have the face shape to rock a pair of round frames? Even if you don’t, and that’s how you want to style, DO IT

I love to have a collection suitable for every type of occasion.
I’ve chosen some of my favorite models!

3 WAYS TO TIE SCARVES IN YOUR HAIR

3 WAYS TO TIE SCARVES IN YOUR HAIR

Wrap your nubby, woolly, warm scarves around your neck. But don’t neglect the pretty, silky, light scarves lying around in your dresser. They have a place, too: in your hair! Trust me. While I was writing about (and testing, step by step) all the styles in our new Allure Hair: The Ultimate How-to Hair Guide issue, I discovered three great ways to get the most out of your scarves. Go grab one that’s long and narrow—when you fold it in half, the two sides should be longer than your hair—and let’s get tying.

Woven Milkmaid Braid
Draw a center part all the way to the nape of your neck and divide the hair in half. Line up the center of your scarf against the nape and drape each end on top of a section of hair. Now you’re going to braid the scarf into the hair: Separate each chunk of hair into three pieces—two hair, one scarf—and braid the first side; secure with an elastic and repeat on the other side until you have pigtail braids. Pull the two braids to the top of your head and tie the ends of the scarf in a knot.

Urban Turban Dry shampoo can only do so much. On the days you wake up really late, mist your hair with texturizing spray and twist it into a messy bun at the crown, securing it any which way with bobby pins. Fold a long, narrow scarf into a three-inch-wide strip and place it against the middle of the nape of your neck. Pull the ends of the scarf up and cross them twice at the center of your forehead, then bring them back to the nape and knot them. No one has to know where you were last night.

Long, Woven Braid
Not only will a scarf increase the size of your braid, but it also adds a little zing! And who couldn’t use that? Choose a really long one with a colorful pattern and wrap it around your head like a headband, with the loose ends at the back of your head. After you tie the scarf at the nape, divide all of your hair into three sections: one small on the left, a bigger one in the middle, and another small one on the right. Place the two ends of the scarf into the two outer sections and start braiding until you reach the ends; tie the scarf into a double knot. You don’t even need an elastic or pins for this one—score!

#KIMONOS

5 August 2014Posted in FashionTagged KIMONOLeave a comment

There’s currently a battle being waged over the AC in my house. To keep everyone happy, I just shut my mouth and throw on a kimono. One look at these lightweight cover-ups, though, and your first thought probably isn’t function.

They’re just so pretty! In lace, florals, and fringe, kimonos are the picture of femininity. They’ve been a big summer trend, with the boho mainstay making appearances everywhere from music festivals to the streets of NYC, and will transition easily into fall.

Pair yours with structured pieces like denim shorts to avoid looking like you’re out in your pajamas, and if you’re a petite Snob, consider opting for shorter lengths.
