We noticed them becoming increasingly popular last summer and look forward to seeing their vibrant colors blowing through the summer breeze again this year!<br />
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
What some people may not know, is that the Kimono is actually a Japanese tradition. It has only in recent years made it's way into our culture in a more modern way.</div>

<br />
When you compare the original Kimono with today's modified version, it's obvious that the original Kimono is much more structured and layered, but the inspiration remains in the floral patterns and the way it hangs on the shoulders.<br />

<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
Take your gorgeous Kimono for a stroll on the beach and let it blow behind you in the wind in all it's flowy, fringy glory.<br />

For the girl who likes a little edge to her girly, don't think you've been left out. This all black ensemble is pulled together in a perfectly grungy way with the help of this dark patterned sheer Kimono. <br />

Or as mom might say, they're still "super hip." A few years ago, we might have said it was crazy if anyone thought that bringing back over-sized, frumpy distressed looking denim was a smart move in the fashion world. But we have to admit, after witnessing the many ways they can be worn in a modern day sense, we too have become inclined to hop on the "Mom Jean" bandwagon.<br />
<div>

<b>With a casual top and sandals </b><br />
<b><br /></b>
Casual has never looked so on trend. Worn with a loose fitted top and simple leather sandals, your baggy jeans are ready to wear in the streets of Manhattan.<br />

Our own little survival kit, carried on our arm in the form of a gorgeous leather eye-catcher perhaps? Every woman has their power bag that contains everything she needs to get her through the day. Here are some of the goodies we carry with us and some that we think all women <i>should </i>have in arms reach on the daily.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<b>Small makeup bag</b> - Instead of throwing the following list items into the bottom of your bag, we suggest putting the following items in a smaller (preferably zipped) makeup bag.<br />
<br />
<ul>
<li><b>Compact mirror</b> - Avoid having to check your teeth in a stranger's car window. </li>
<li><b>Bobby pins/ hair elastics</b> - No more "does anyone have a bobby pin??" moments.</li>
<li><b>Advil </b>- A headache can put you in a bad mood - lets avoid that.</li>
<li><b>Face powder</b>- It's always nice to freshen up during the day. Oily skin can be avoided, at least temporarily. </li>
<li><b>Lip Balm</b>- An absolute must for all seasons. Protect your lips from the wind, cold, and sun.</li>
<li><b>Mini perfume/ body mis</b>t - For when you need a little sweet scented pick-me-up anytime or any place. </li>
<li><b>Travel size deodorant</b>- We've all forgotten before. Let's not let it happen again.<b> </b></li>
<li><b>Tampons</b> - Ladies, just do it. And since we are on the subject of tampons, we also suggest putting your tampons in a small, separate bag, (a Ziploc bag would also suffice). No more lone, open tampon swimming along in the bottom of your purse.</li>
<li><b>Band-aids</b>- Blisters on your feet? Band-aids to the rescue.</li>
</ul>
<b>Healthy snacks</b> - Keep a protein bar or a small bag of almonds in your bag for a quick on-the-go snack.<br />
<br />
<b>Ear buds</b> - A necessity for long bus rides, impromptu solo coffee shop dates, and for workout days (how many times have you forgotten?) It's always good to keep a pair on hand.<br />
<br />
<b>Phone charger</b> - Not many things scarier than seeing that big red 2% on your screen. Avoid going into full on crisis mode by staying prepared when you need a recharge. Now to find a plug...<br />
<br />
<b>Small notebook and pen</b> - sometimes the old fashion way is the quickest for jotting down a number or adding to a grocery list. And unlike your phone, a notepad never dies on you! <br />
<br />
<b>Emergency cash</b> - This one is probably the hardest to stick to but we feel that it's a great idea to always have a few dollars on you in case your card fails you or you suddenly need a cab.<br />
<br />
<b>Mini pack of tissues </b>- For tragic movies and for those winter days when your nose suddenly turns into a running faucet.<br />
<br />
<b>Gum</b> -As a courtesy to others be sure to chew a piece of gum after coffee and meals.<br />
<br />
<b>Hand sanitizer</b> - It's not always possible to make it to a sink to wash your hands. We know hand sanitizer isn't the same thing but it will at least hold you over until you can give your hands a good scrub.<br />
<br />
What are your favorite things to keep in your bag?<br />

It seemed unkempt and scary. However, after seeing half up top knots <b>everywhere</b> in New York we have admittedly fallen in <i>love</i> with this style. </span><span style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">We recommend the following tips for executing the perfect look.</span><div>
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><b>Tip #1-</b> The messier, the better. The key to this look is to make it look imperfect. Don't fuss with it too much.</span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><b>Tip #2-</b> Rock a bold lip color. This hairstyle is a little on the messier side so we suggest pairing it with a bold lip to really pull the look together.</span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><b>Tip #3-</b> Keep it casual. When it comes to clothing we say keep it simple and let your hair do the talking. Wear your favourite tee or a nice flowy tank with a pair of jeans.</span></div>

This new and improved Hippie style is a way of expressing a love for rich culture and exotic fashion, while embracing natural beauty. We've witnessed many celebs embracing this trend and it has made it's way to the runway this spring by the name of iconic designers such as Valentino and Vera Wang. We are sure to be guilty of hopping on the Boho bandwagon this season!<br />
<br />
Style<br />
<br />
The idea of "flower child" at a summer music festival behind the main inspiration of what we see in today's more contemporary Boho.<br />
<br />
Flowy shirts and Maxi Skirts for the win.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-wc9isl-tdI8/VOJfDmu4GZI/AAAAAAAAA3g/TgNRR3lElCk/s1600/5.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-wc9isl-tdI8/VOJfDmu4GZI/AAAAAAAAA3g/TgNRR3lElCk/s1600/5.jpg" height="320" width="320" /></a><a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-qL1AKnBSl1k/VOJg96HaIWI/AAAAAAAAA3s/C4cGEbuD3XY/s1600/7.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-qL1AKnBSl1k/VOJg96HaIWI/AAAAAAAAA3s/C4cGEbuD3XY/s1600/7.jpg" height="320" width="247" /></a></div>
<br />
<br />
Hair and Makeup<br />
<br />
This isn't typically a bold lip/ slick back bun kind of trend... You're not Taylor Swift going to the Oscars. Try some bronzer with a bit of shimmer and a creamy-champagne colored shadow. You should aim to look almost like you woke up in a desert and just happen to be glowing and beautiful. #iwokeuplikethis<br />
<br />
Remember when mom used to tell you to brush that "birds nest" on your head...well mom's still not going to win this battle- let the hair go wild.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
<br />
Accessories<br />
<br />
This is where the magic happens. The key to locking down Bohemian style is by incorporating tons little details that can be brought out through the art of accessorizing. Boho represents a love of culture, so wear the world on your sleeve with embroidered bangles, exotic printed scarves, and layered chains. Keep an eye out for unique pieces whether you're on a tropical vacay or browsing through local markets and boutiques.<br />

<br />
<br />
Despite the irony of the original "rebel among society" intention behind the trend that has now become a social phenomenon, we can't help but to keep falling in love. But keep in mind that it's not about mimicking. Put your own spin on the trend and customize it to your personality. We look forward to seeing all you Bohemian Beauty's this spring!Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6742606319319918751.post-19431993518448466352015-02-04T14:02:00.002-04:002015-02-04T14:02:35.377-04:00Graphic Tee Styling Graphic tees- a trend that has been quickly taking over the fashion world. With endless options to choose from it's easy to tailor to any personality! Because graphic tees are usually quite bold on their own, it can be hard to figure out what to wear with them. We've come up with some ideas on how to make yours stand out by using these different styling techniques. <br />
<br />
Living on the Edge<br />
<br />
We could argue that leather and graphic tees go together better than milk and cookies. This impeccably sleek ensemble gives an edge to an innocent look. So throw on a classic motto jacket or dare to go even bolder with some chic leather pants.<br />

Some women wouldn't consider a graphic tee to be work appropriate. But it's likely just a matter of thinking of it in the wrong way! A blazer goes a long way- it's really the perfect trick to make most any outfit 'work appropriate'. Stay away from denim, as it tends to make an outfit more casual. We <b>do</b> recommend wearing a great heel, and some great jewelry to truly complete a more professional look.</div>

There's something irresistible about feeling like your ready for yoga class, while still looking fabulous. We love our cozy leggings just as much as the next girl, but with that said, there are RULES.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-LF75gbO7H94/VMZ0DOHjKeI/AAAAAAAAA0g/JV4yA7uGUSM/s1600/1.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-LF75gbO7H94/VMZ0DOHjKeI/AAAAAAAAA0g/JV4yA7uGUSM/s1600/1.jpg" height="400" width="368" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
*this outfit is just a no. no. no. NO.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Leggings should NOT be worn as pants. Just as you wouldn't wear tights without something to cover your tush, the same rules apply to leggings. Most of us are guilty of sporting this not-so-cute ensemble at some point, but in reality, it's in everyone's best interest that we we stop this immediately.</div>
<br />
<br />
With that said, here are some ideas on how to rock your leggings from here on out:<br />
<br />
<ul>
<li>Invest in a good pair - <i>Sometimes it's worth spending the extra cash for the extra coverage. Cheaper leggings tend to wear-out easily and can be slightly see-through. </i></li>
</ul>
<ul>
<li>Make sure they cover crotch area - <i>Say no to camel toe.</i></li>
</ul>
<ul>
<li>Layer with scarves, boots - <i>The more the merrier! A great way to dress up your leggings is with lots of layers. It not only keeps you warm during those chilly days, but it also adds structure and color to your outfit.</i></li>
</ul>
<ul>
<li>Different ways to style them - <i>A cute tunic or a long cardi are perfect pieces to work with. A good rule of thumb to go by is when you straighten your arms at your sides, your fingertips should not reach past your top. </i> </li>
</ul>

<span style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Shopping for professional wear can be a struggle, whether you're fresh into the field and are a little lost with where to start or you're just looking for some new ideas to spice up your work wardrobe. Here are a few of our favorite essential professional pieces to give you some inspiration!</span></div>

<span style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">The Blazer</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">First things first, every woman needs to experience the wonders of a good blazer. This is a hands-down must have if you are working in any kind of professional field. Throw on a sleek black blazer over a simple white tee, paired with dark jeans and just like that, you've taken your outfit from the grocery store to the office. For a nice change from the typical blazer, try a cute tweed jacket! Our Greylin tweed jacket looks amazing layered over a feminine floral top.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Blouses and Button-Ups</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">When most people think of blouses and button-ups, they instantly tend to think simple and white. This makes perfect sense, because they're classic and will go with anything. You can't argue with a classic, but don't restrict yourself to it! Take a step out of your comfort zone and go for a different cut or colored blouse and still look equally as professional! For a new approach, wear a patterned blouse with some colored heels or layer your button-up with a cute light sweater and some pretty jewelry.</span></div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Think of your accessories as little details with major importance. The picture just isn't complete without a little bling. You can decide on how much, based on the complexity of your outfit. If you're wearing a dramatic color or a top with a busy neckline, stick with simple pieces, like a pretty gold chain. If you're outfit consists of more neutral colors, take it up a notch by rocking a pair of double sided earrings and a bold cuff bracelet. Tip: make your earrings stand out more by wearing your hair in a cute chic bun!</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">A gorgeous handbag is the last piece that ties your look together as you walk out the door and head to the office, and you want to arrive in style. A larger sized purse is great for work, so that you can carry everything from your laptop to your favorite lipstick. In the winter, a dark colored leather handbag looks chic and sophisticated. One of our current favorites is the ECO friendly Nice Things handbag. As an added bonus, it has a uniquely patterned removable interior! </span></div>

<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br />
No matter what people say- the way you dress matters. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br />
We've compiled five resolutions that we encourage everyone to try.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br />
1. Take Risks</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Don't be afraid to be the first one of your friends to try a new trend! Maxi's and midi skirts are nothing to fear! They are actually designed to flatter your figure by making it appear more elongated. If you think you're too short, you're wrong- all you'll need is a simple (and inexpensive) hem job.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">2. Accessorize</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Sometimes it can be as simple as adding a necklace and a pair of shades to take your outfit from "Plain Jane" to "New York ready". Willing to go outside of your comfort zone? We suggest throwing on a cute hat! Accessories truly pull everything together and make an outfit complete. </span></div>

<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Time to leave the days of "matchy, matchy" in the past and start off the new year by getting playful with prints! Create a cool contrast by pairing different shades of denim or floral patterns on both top and bottom. After all, rules are made to be broken!</span></div>

The more the merrier couldn't be more true when it comes to layering dainty necklaces with barely there chains. There are three basic lengths of necklaces when it comes to layering- short, medium, and long. Play around with different lengths and we promise you'll find a look you love. <div>
On another note, we have a new line of 18K gold plated jewelry and it is honestly <i><b>perfect </b></i>for layering. We're sure a lot of you have heard of it because it is amazing and it is super popular among celebrities and big name bloggers- with that said, we'd like to introduce you to our newest jewelry line... Gorjana!<div>
<div>
Happy layering!</div>

<a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-1_FH3UShgtA/U6C2ZQa3VUI/AAAAAAAAApY/BLkpgIsj_L0/s1600/SongofStyle-CropTop-IsabelMarantSandals.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-1_FH3UShgtA/U6C2ZQa3VUI/AAAAAAAAApY/BLkpgIsj_L0/s1600/SongofStyle-CropTop-IsabelMarantSandals.jpg" /></a></div>

Contrary to popular belief, modern day crop tops are <b>not </b>meant to bare full midriffs. If any skin is shown, it is meant to be a peek- a mere sliver of skin. When worn properly, crop tops can actually be quite chic.<br />
<br />
We've compiled a few looks that we love and that show how to properly pull off a crop top.<br />
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Side note: The only time it is acceptable to sport a crop top and <i>allow </i>the midriff to be shown is when you are at the beach or a music festival, other than that it is simply not okay- or chic.<br />

<b>Are crop tops appropriate for the office?</b><br />
When talking about crop tops this question often arrives and the answer is yes! When carefully selected and paired with a high waisted pant or skirt, crop tops are most definitely okay for the office. We suggest looking for a more tailored fit and fabrics such as polyester or a sturdy cotton. Stay away from loose or flowy fits and avoid jersey fabrics.<br />
<br />

<br />
<b>Are crop tops appropriate for plus sized women?</b><br />
Can plus sized women wear crop tops? Absolutely! The key to perfecting this look is to find a crop top that is well structured and tailored. Stay away from loose, flowy fitting crop tops because they tend to look frumpy and less flattering. What to wear on the bottom is just as important- We say stick to a high waisted, more form fitting skirt or pant.<br />
<br />
