CHRISTMAS!!!

Hey there! I do believe it's time for a Christmas post! So here we go! Merry Christmas to all!

Okay. I'm gonna tell you the best way to pull of a Christmas outfit without it ending up bad. It takes some skill to not mess up a Christmas outfit, and I'm very practiced in the area, since Christmas is my favorite holiday.

Okay. Let's say that you're not big on dresses. But you're parents are making you wear one for Christmas. Here's what you do, because this is technically classified as a dress:

 The ultimate sweater-dress! Take a white or red sweater dress, slip on some heels (or shiny flats,) a necklace, some fingerless gloves and rock you're Christmas dress!

Alrighty. Now, let's say you're a girly-girl. Here's you're best shot at a classy Christmas dress:

 Work it girl! The shiny top is eye-catching while the satin bottom and red bow tie the whole thing together. The perfect dress for a fancy Christmas party.

Next I will show you how to put together a casual Christmas outfit, for school or the office:

 Perfecto! I love the pants. You can pair them with flats or heels. Even fancy sandles if you live in a warmer climate.


So there you have it! Christmas style the Lady Beret way...

Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to all! :)

Celebrity Outfits

Hey! I havn't blogged in forever! No excuses though, I'm a busy girl. You will not guess what happened to me the other day! I accidentally put on a dress that just so happened to be an example of color blocking! It's a long maxi dress, totally boho, and it layers (from top to bottom),

Green

Aqua Marine

Brown

Green

It's a great dress. I'm going to figure out how to use this site called drop box so I can post pictures of my outfits on my blog for you. Just so you can get a better taste of my fashion sense xD

Okay! On to the topic I wish to discuss today. Celebrity Outfits! I'm going to go through a bunch of pictures of celeb fashion do's and don't's and I'm gonna tell you why I like them, or don't like them. So here we go!

Let's start with Selena Gomez. The disney wizard with some sassy charm. I will feature 3 of her styles:

 J'adore this dress! The whole long in the back, short in the front thing makes your legs look great! (she looks like she's having fun!)

  I just LOVE this shirt, jeans, and flats combo. Kinda preppy-schoolgirl-chic. Shown here with boyfriend Justin Bieber (Whom I adore thoroughly). The casual jeans and the flowy shirt are wonderful together in every way.

 I really like this dress! It's so ruffley and lacey...
The long sleeves and short skirt totally work together. Also, a little tip to add, if you have dark hair, stick to lighter colors, and with light hair, stick to darker colors. The contrast is amazing. (And for the in-between red-heads, green is always a great color.)

Okay! On to the next star.

Emma Watson! The notorious fashionista, her debut on Harry Potter has put her on the fast track in the world of fame. I will feature 3 of her styles, also.

 This dress is just fabulous! The little train behind leaves the feel of a wedding almost... and the ruffle on the top adds a little something extra.

 This is the best casual look out there-- a skirt, flats, t-shirt, and jacket or sweater. It's so perfect! It just lays right on the bod, and is great if you're in a rush in the morning.

 This dress is adorable! Short and sexy, yet fun and young. I like the feathers at the bottom. This dress would be really fun to go clubbing in.


Okie dokie! Next celeb!

Let's go with a guy this time. Chord Overstreet! The hottie from glee, with a voice as smooth as honey...

 I really like this. The colors work great togehter, and the shirt is a little jacket-ish and it totally works on him. Casual and sporty.

 This cutie is rocking the sunglasses and v-neck tee. Gotta love it. (Him and Emma are so cute together!)

 Lookin' spiffy Chord! This dark grey dress coat looks awesome with the same-color shirt and tie.

Ok! Now on to the don'ts. The MAJOR don'ts. Here we go...you might want to sheild you're eyes....

Nicki Minaj:

 Oh my god.... WHY???? This dress is absolutely horrible. I don't even know.... I love you Nicki, but REALLY bad dress choice... reeeeaaaallly bad.....

Katy Perry and friend:

 Katy = amazing dress! Friend = horrendous...

Ke$ha:

 What the hell?! I mean REALLY? I'm all for appreciation of your country, but seriously! What was she thinking!? I like the boots though... the only highlight of the outfit....

 Little red riding hood gone bad... so freaking scary.... SO cliche.

Okay! These outfits are pretty hysterical, right!? Well I hope you enjoyed this particularly long post! I worked hard on it.

Color Blocking

Hello readers! I have decided to talk to you today about Color Blocking.
It's one of the newest trends, and I REALLY love the way it looks.

You can do color blocking with a nice pant and shirt, like this:

 Go Rhi Rhi! This is a classic way to color block. It's basically piling another color, on top of another color, and she is totally rocking this outfit.

 This is a classic example of color blocking with a maxi dress. Perfect for spring, or early fall.

 Here are some runway examples. My fave is the last one. I absolsolutely LOVE the shiny jacket. So chic.

As you can see, color blocking is an awesome way to spice up your life with color. Rainy days can't touch you if you're wearing something this happy.

Okay, now for a special little surprise. I want to show you something a little outrageous that my friends told me to talk about on my blog.

 Lady Gaga and her meat dress!!! I want you guys to comment about it! I think it's quite a fashion statement, but I'm not completely sure I would want to wear it. There would be some major showering involved afterwards. And can someone please tell me if this is really meat or not?! I mean for real. Meat? I love you Gaga but, meat in a dress!? A bit over the top, if you ask me.

Thank you so much for reading! I will update as soon as I can. I have lot's more ideas to discuss with you , so make sure you check in to see if I;ve posted anything new!

Thanks again,

Hello!

I know it seems as if I have dropped off the face of the earth, correct? Well I rest assure you, I am still alive and well. Let me explain to you why I've been gone for so long:

1. When I was sick, I missed a LOT of make-up work for school. Obviously it was the only three days of the year that  one of my teachers decided to pummel us with work.
2. I went to a new dance studio on a past Thursday, and that took up much of my time. I also researched so many dance studios in my area until my head hurt.
3. Last Wednesday I was taking a break from that make-up work (yes it has taken me that long to get it done) and I was relaxing in my chair, propping my feet up on my desk. Unfortunately, I have one of those rolling chairs, along with a hard-wood floor. Note to self: hard wood floors and rolling chairs DO NOT MIX! My chair just decided to flip out from under me, resulting a bruised and confused Lady Beret on the floor. I had a mild to moderate concussion, which has not been enjoyable for the past few days.

So. Pardon me for not blogging, but I am back and ready with lot's of new topics. :)


Okay! My first topic I wish to discuss is the new Marni t-shirts designed by underprivileged children in South America and East Asia (according to my resources).


This is one of the jacket-shirts designed by one of the children. Marni is trying to hold on to the  imaginative side of life with these creations. I love all of the colors and I thing the concept is so sweet and amazing. A lot of the money spent on these pieces are sent to educational places, along with hospitals and other learning centers. So go to www.marni.com and look at all of them. I think it's s awesome, and who doesn't love a great cause, right?

Here are some more of the shirts:











I just love this new collection! I do believe it's temporary (not sure, you might want to check on that), so go and give them a look! See if anything tickles you're fancy. :)

Thanks so much, glad to be back. Happy thanksgiving to all! (I have a special Thanksgiving themed post coming soon!)

I'm BACK!

Hello people! I am so very sorry that I havn't been posting for a while, I was a bit under the weather with a nasty little flu, that I didn't particularly enjoy. BUT- I got to watch re-runs of Project Runway, Fashion Hunters, and Julia Childs and Company. (I also love to cook)

Ok. So what should I talk about today? I just can't decide. Hmm... there wasn't really inspiration for me today so, I am very sorry to dissappoint you, but I think I'm just going to go and sit on the couch and watch t.v. until I feel a little bit better. I'm still a smidgen sniffley.

Thank you so much, and once again, I'm very sorry I am unable to blog today, I PROMISE I will write a good long blog entry tomorrow since I don't have school. (Happy Veteran's Day! A little early, but still, thank you to all of our past soldiers and for the ones serving now! God bless!)

Thanks!

Weddings

Hey! Okay, so I have been watching Say Yes to the Dress for, like, the past three hours, and I LOVE this show. I love seeing all the different patterns, textures, colors, and lacey attatchments. It's super fun! So, I have decided to talk to you about my ideal wedding dress/outfit. And I'm also going to talk about different wedding styles that are possible.

My top 3 dress picks:

I like this dress because it's bold. It's a confident dress, and it's not afraid to be a bright red dress, either.

 I like this dress because of the princessish skirt, and the one sholder thing. It looks like it would be very flattering, too!

I like this dress because of how elegant it is. It reminds me of Montreal, in Canada. And you've heard of the saying that you have to use for your wedding: "Something old, something new, something borrowed, and something blue." :)


My top 3 pairs of shoes:

Okay. I know what you're thinking. HIGH TOPS!? AT A WEDDING!??? And my answer is, yes, high tops at a wedding. High top wedges to be exact. They would add a sporty and young style to the wedding and would definitely make a statement. And yellow is my fave, so....

I really would enjoy wearing these. The oxford/broadway look really appeals to me, and is sexy but classy.

The classic secretary heel. Who couldn't love them?


Okay here's the last section:

My perfect flowers:


I love these because they are my favorite flower. Blue hydrangeas.

I love white roses. They symbolize purity, and smell so yummy and sweet.

I like this bouquet because it is whimsical and fun. I would enjoy holding these during the celebration. They scream, "PARTY!"

Ooookaay! I'm done! I really hope you enjoyed this post, and please make sure you leave some comments and follow the blog! Thanks so much!

Starbucks!

Okay people! I just had the best Starbucks, in the whole entire world! Normally I would start with something else, and lead into this subject, but it just can't wait! It's my inspiration of the day. :)
So this Starbucks wasn't just any Starbucks. It was a normal grande decaf cappuccino. (My fave!)
And since I'm not a huge fan of sugar in my coffee, I decided I wanted a little flavor without it being sweet. So, after I grabbed the steamy cup, I popped off the top and drowned it in ground cinnamon. IT WAS AMAZING! It was kind of spicy, and warm and delicious. So good. So I decided when I returned home, that I would talk to you today about natural colors (khaki, coffee, coal, slate grey, etc.)

So here we are. Let's start with the original khaki pant. Say you're feeling a bit mod today, and you feel like dressing up a smidgen. Here's how:

  Okay, these are Steve Maddens. I adore Steve Madden shoes, in fact I'm wearing some of his combat/european boots right now, ha! Anyway, if you're feeling a bit brave, try these. Totally fun.

  Here's a less stand-offish way, if that's how you want to put it. It's sweet and girly, yet a bit bold and would make a great statement.

 And you could even go this route. And the fun little pocket on the breast is so cute, and can hold all of your small items and fun trinkets. :)


Okay. On to our next color! Coffee. (In celebration of my amazing cappucino!)

Kk, here's a coffee colored sweater dress that looks adorable with that blue cloth belt and the ivory under-shirt. Ultra-preppy.

These just so happen to be the boots I"m wearing now, but I own a lighter color. They would look adorable with the sweater, and you could even throw an orange tank-top under the sweater dress. Just a thought.

This long owl necklace would look great over the sweater dress, and would act as a nice accent.


Kk! Natural colors! Amazing! If any of my followers would like me to talk about something specific, please post a comment and I will devote part of my blog to that subject.

Ok my outfit today iiiisss:

A white aerie tank top underneath a slate grey pinstripe-ish blouse that's decorated with small sequins at the top. I am also wearing aeroposdale jeans (that are a bit to small. I need to hit the mall again.) and my steve madden combats. Oh how I love me some steve maddens. :D

Have an awesome day everyone!

My First Post

I love fashion. That is just how it is. It's the most amazing thing, and you can express yourself in anyway you like. I'm a dancer, and I love incorporating different inspirations from my dancing into my cloths. Like for instance, if I'm feeling a bit ethereal one day I can just slip on my thin sweater and head to ballet class. It's that simple.

Here is everything you need to know about me, and also a couple of my favorite style secrets:

My favorite color: Yellow. It's so bright and happy :)

My favorite pair of shoes: My black Naot clog-heels. I adore them.

My favorite magazine: Teen Vogue. I'm a teen, and it brings me so much inspiration, it's crazy!

My favorite book: The "I am Number Four" book. I love sci-fy and fantasy things. Once again, another inspiration.

My described style: Preppy meets rocker chick. It's quite interesting.

My favorite make-up item: my bright red Jane Iredale lipstick. It adds a pop of color to any rainy day.

My favorite D.Y.I.: Cropped tees. If you have any old t-shirt or a t-shirt that may be too small, just chop it off about have way, and make it to where it goes to the bottom of your bra, or lower even.

Yeah. That's Lady Beret! Now on to a couple things that I always keep in my closet-

http://raajjesupply.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/05/BILLABONG-1.jpg
(I'm not sure if this is showing up to you as a URL or not, that's what it did for me, if so please do click on it.)
Billabong- I LOVE BILLABONG! I know they make mostly summer items, but if you layer, the patterns and colors are absolutely heaven!

 
Aerie is my go-to store. It's my favorite. If I had to shop in one store for the rest of my life, it would be this one. (Plus, there bras and panties are outrageously comfy.)


I like Hot topic a bunch. They have some pretty awesome t-shirts, and they really help tie in the whole rocker chick side of my style.


And then there's Madewell. I love Madewell.


Okey Dokey my friends, it is time for me to go and start on my math homework! Oh joy1 I actually like math, it's just that I would MUCH rather be blogging. I will also tell you what I'm wearing today.

I wore my patchwork jeans with some army green converse, with a light pink tee and a dark gray aerie sweater. Gotta love it.

Okay, have a nice day!
