Let's Make A Statement

Hey Everyone, today I thought it would be fun to show some of my favorite statement necklaces. These are a great accessories if you are trying to spice you a casual looking outfit. Some of these pieces are things I own, and others I think would be great buys.
This first necklace is from House of Harlow, look at my other post for a direct link.
Look at the bottom for links.

4. Forever 21
5. Forever 21
6. Forever 21
9. Forever 21, same as 3 & 4


Lets just say forever 21 is my favorite store right now, but they do have great statement pieces that aren't even jewelry. Shopping online is a better way to find a great variety of different things that might not be in store, plus most people where you live won't have that piece if you buy online instead of in store.

Lets make a statement together!

Riding Boots

Hi everyone,
One of my favorite types of shoes for fall and winter are riding boots. They are the cutest, most comfortable types of boots out there. I purchased my favorite Steve Madden Rood, riding boots 2 years ago in the fall. At the time they cost $165, which is pretty pricey, but for real leather boots it was defiantly worth the price, plus they have lasted 2 years and still going strong! Below I have just put up pictures of the boots. they are very comfortable, and great to walk in. They have a strap in the back to adjust if you have a bigger calf . It also has a fuzzy lining on the inside which is nice in the winter time. These are actually a great color for shoes, they go with just about everything!
(white socks are not attached)
The second pair of boots I have are black riding boots from DSW. DSW is a great place to find nice riding boots, for great prices especially in the fall, when they have all new deals goings. Theses boots I actually share with my mom but they are worth it since they are cute and give a sophisticated look being in black. They have a detailed buckle at the top and they are also elastic, if you have a wider calf.
On that note when finding that perfect pair make sure they are a big enough sock so you can fit a think sock in during the winter months. Also when having a leather boot make sure you spray them with a weathering leather spray so they don't get ruined and will last a life time!

Welcome All!

Hi everyone!
I'm so excited today since I decided to make a fashion blog!!!! This will be a fun way to put out more fashion ideas without having to make a video. If you don't know already, I have a fashion channel on YouTube, here's the link: http://www.youtube.com/user/FashionAccordingToMe?feature=mhee, I would love for everyone to come check it out.
To kick off this new blog I will show you what I recently have been loving in my closet for winter.
First picture I show is my new L.A.M.B wallet. I have always love L.A.M.B, ever since it came out when I was in the sixth grade, since I loved Gwen Stefani. This is actually the first thing I have gotten from Gwen's line. I received this wallet for Christmas. It hold a lot of things which is nice.
I kind of have this obsession with jewelry now. It just that there is so much interesting things out there, that can really make a look amazing. I have been loving necklaces the most. I have a long , chunky pearl necklace from H&M, and a Geo-shaped black and gold one from Nicole Richie's line House of Harlow 1960, which has great pieces that are great quality, and very cute.
On my "want" list right now is the Alexander McQueen skull scarf, but since it's around $500 I can't really afford that so I just got a similar scarf off eBay of around $5, which was a great price for something I know I wasn't going to wear everyday.
For late fall and winter I suggest a faux-fur vest. I would never wear really fur, i'm a Peta person. These faux-fur vest not only do they keep you warm but they are cute and make me feel like Rachel Zoe. Fur vest were really popular last year (fall of 2010) and are now back in style. The most common color for fur vest would be the camel/light brown ones, but I prefer the black colored one, since it goes with just about everything in my closet.
Yesterday I picked up these cute high waisted dress, shorts. I have been looking forever for some like these. I pair them with black tights and wedges, and they are instantly cute!
On my same shopping trip I picked up the black a-line skirt from H&M, this is a great piece to have, although I don't care for the neon pink at the top I can live with it. I'm just so excited to wear them with my bright tights, if you haven't guessed already, I've been inspired by Gossip Girl!
