Comeback Set
Posted on: September 29, 2013
Hi! It’s The Fashionista, back again. Like Slim Shady and Britney Spears, all things come back eventually. Perhaps those were bad examples because no one likes Britney, but whatever.
I guess you could say that this post is an experiment to see if anyone actually cares about my lovely fashion blog anymore. I have 44,429 views on Polyvore, apparently. I didn’t know that little ole me could reach so many people. Anyway, that’s a set to show the trends of Fall 2013.
Bye for now

This fashion recap focuses on three red dresses of the Emmy’s. Part 1 was some of the quirkier dresses – oh so many ruffles!
I love Nina’s dress. I like the color – you will see a few more red dresses, red was a very popular color this year – and I like the tight fit, it flatters her.
In comparison to Nina’s strapless stunner, Kate Winslet‘s red dress looks rather boring.
Nina still beats the other two red dresses, even Lea Michele. I usually like Lea’s red carpet style. Let’s compare this to her red carpet dress last year. Which do you like better?
Which was your favorite red dress? Take the poll and comment.

I’m not a big fan of award shows, they go on too late and the only awards that I care about always get given out at 12 am. But I do like the red carpet shows, and usually I catch the fashion recap on Yahoo! the next day. So here are the best and worst of the Emmy fashion, in my opinion. Part two is coming tomorrow, with a bunch of red dresses.
All pictures are from yahoo.com.
I like this dress, especially the pop of silver. Though is it me or is Paula Abdul leaning to the left? She’s not standing “straight up.” I’m sorry, that was cheesy.
I usually like Gywneth Paltrow’s sense of style. A bit boring, and I wish she would do something about her hair, but nice. This, however, is rather horrible.
Oh, that quirky Heidi Klum. I have seen this dress on both best and worst dressed lists. Personally, I like the dress. What do you think? Take the poll below!
Heather Morris is gorgeous, we all know this. But what was she thinking with this outfit?! The neckline is too low, the dress too ruffled, and the hair…too poofy. Is this a hit or a miss? Vote in the poll!
Jayma Mays is just so…cute! I like this dress, I don’t think that it deserves the D it got on the Yahoo! fashion report card.
Be sure to check this blog tomorrow for part 2 of the Emmy fashion recap!

High Dollar Fashion
Posted on: August 3, 2011
- In: fashion | polyvore | summer

Since I usually post about things that are under $50, I figured I would do a post about things that are over $50.
Some popular high end brands include:
- Coach
- Burberry
- Ralph Lauren
- Gucci
- Dolce and Gabbana
- Max Azria (and BCBG Max Azria)
- Miu Miu
High end stuff usually comes with a bit of prestige. People will notice things like a Coach bag or a pair of Miu Miu flats. Your whole outfit doesn’t have to scream “$$$!” but a statement piece will get their attention. A powerful outfit (especially if it coordinates with said statement piece) will keep their attention.
Now be warned that my Polyvore set is going to contain some very high dollar items. This is an unrealistic post for me, but what the heck?! I feel like it.
Happy Fourth of July!

Now we’re in the heat of the summer and I welcome that. Bring on color, short-shorts and floral print. A post about beachy style will be coming soon! But first, lets talk 4th fashion.
BBQ: Red, white and blue of course! A red and white striped shirt with some navy blue shorts would be perfect. If you’re feeling stylish, try a blue floral skirt with a navy blue tank top.
Fireworks: They’re at night, so you want to bring a blanket and a cardigan. Also, avoid white in case of grass stains. Perhaps go for something with a bit of sparkle that would catch the light of the fireworks.
Pool Party: Wear a sundress over your bathing suit. Pop on some gladiators and some Sally Hansen or Sephora by OPI nail strips.
Happy Fourth of July!

Update on Trends, June 2011

Hey. I’m sorry I haven’t been posting as much, but life has just been a little crazy lately.
I’ve spied some trends that I think are notable.
First, nail art. I am a huge fan of this, and there are many products to help you do your own nails instead of shelling out big dollars at a salon. OPI Shatter nail polish is super trendy. You paint a color (any, but bright ones like pink and white work best) on your nails like usual, and then paint the shatter over it. Watch as the nail polish shatters or cracks. It dries matte, but if you want a shine you can paint a clear coat over top. OPI shatter collection is available on Amazon and in some beauty stores. Visit OPI.com for more details and to find a location near you.
Second, floral. Floral is pretty easy to wear. Pair it with some gladiator sandals and a bright nail color, and you’re set.
Third, color blocking. Take a bunch of bold colors and throw them together in an outfit. For a better idea of what it is, look at the Polyvore set below. Tie it together with a solid color belt or shoes.
Prom dresses
Posted on: May 22, 2011
Tis the season for prom. The date, the shoes, the flowers and…the dress. Obviously, the dress is the most important part, especially for fashionistas. There’s even a new website out were you can rent a dress and accessories for the big day (http://renttherunway.com/).
The top 3 Prom dress trends:
- Prints (animal, abstract)
- Spray tan (don’t follow this trend)
- Paying too much for a dress you’ll wear once (don’t follow this one either)
Take this short quiz to decide which dress is right for you.
1. Which 2010 trend was your fave?
a) Plaid
b) Ruffles
c) Floral
d) Military style
2. Day to day, your style is closest to…
a) Trendy
b) Floaty
c) Girly
d) Tomboy
3. If you get dressed up, you wear…
a) A skirt and a polo shirt, with matching nail art.
b) A dress, something pink and lacy.
c) A dress, long and ruffled.
d) Pantsuit.
If you scored:
A’s: You should wear a printed dress. That’s the latest trend, so that’s you!
B’s: You should wear a ruffled dress. Short would probably be best, in a bright color.
C’s: You should wear a long floral dress. Accessorize with some flowers in your hair and flats.
D’s: You should wear a short, one shouldered dress. Do your hair in a braid if it’s long, or curl it if it’s short.
Enjoy your prom!

Plaid
Posted on: May 21, 2011
So plaid was big last year. Obviously. Everywhere you looked, you would see it. Plaid shorts, plaid skirts, plaid tops, plaid hats. Wow. Here’s how to wear it.
How: A solid top or bottom (depending on where you’re wearing it). Gladiator sandals displaying a perfect pedicure, which preferably matches the shorts.
Where: Out and about. It’s not for fancy dinners, though. Go for more of the shopping, gardening, grocery store type trips.
When: Spring and Summer. It’s not for Winter.
What: Nail art (for a tutorial, go here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aw1s_mhE0O0), shorts, shirts, bathing suits. Anything.

The Royal Wedding: Hats

Where you one of the 2 billion (approximately) people watching the Royal Wedding? I was, and I was amazed at the hats. British people sure like their hats, and not ball caps or anything vaguely boring. They like their hats with height.
This guest goes for the nature hat. But why doesn’t her hat match her jacket?
Check out this one, worn by Princess Beatrice. What is it, like a foot off the ground? Spot the Mickey! The hat has actually spawned a Facebook group! “Princess Beatrice’s ridiculous Royal Wedding hat,” and it has 78,700 likes!
This one is wider still. I actually like this one, though I can’t see how you would fit through doors. (the black one)
This hat is worn by Queen Elizabeth II. People were actually making bets on the color of her hat.
This one is crazy. Feathers?!

The Hunger Games is an awesome book trilogy that I highly recommend. So of course it’s being made into a movie that many of the book series’ die-hard fans will go see. Starts as a book series, is made into a movie, launching the stars into the spotlight.
For example, Harry Potter (yes, I love HP, both the books and the movies). Before HP, Emma Watson, Daniel Radcliffe and Rupert Grint were obscure eleven year olds. Now, Emma Watson is a style superstar, with ads for Burberry and a line from People Tree.
What is my point? Well, I think that Jennifer Lawrence (who will be portraying Katniss) will reach Kristen Stewart and Emma Watson level fame, just because of her starring role in the Hunger Games movies.
Jennifer’s 20 years old (which some say makes her too old to play 16 year old Katniss) and has already been nominated for an Academy Award. She’s graced the May issue of Teen Vogue, and has covered W, GQ, Rolling Stone and Vanity Fair as well.
Jennifer at the 2011 Oscars.
Jennifer at the BAFTA awards. This dress is a bit too revealing for me. I like the color and the corset detail, though.
Jennifer at a website launch. Look at her hair, it’s curly! I like it better straight. She looks good in red, though.
Jennifer at an International Film Festival. I love the leopard print.
Check out this website for more of Jennifer’s red carpet looks:
