Dress up your tech!

Fashion and style can translate over to your gadgets too! I mean who doesn't want to dress up their tech accessories in colors and patterns? White and black can be so boring! Check out some of our favorites!

There is nothing worse that having you phone die! Well, there are worse things... But you just can't have that. A portable external battery is essential these days. You don't want to miss a tweet or text! Check out these amazing clutch style batteries by Jonathan Adler. They are so sleek and bright! And covered in wonderful Jonathan Adler prints? What is not to love?!

Do you have an ipad or tablet? Then, you know how important a cover is! You have to keep it safe. And why not look cute at the same time? We love the DODOcase! How neat! They have such a classy, elegant look. They are on our must have list!

Tablet bags can be so... plain. Sure they are protecting that precious cargo but they bore us! Tote that technology in high fashion! Yes, this adorable satchel is meant for your ipad or tablet. Sacrifice style no more. We think tablets and tassels go hand in hand.

We hope you enjoyed this fun Friday blog! And hey, maybe your tech need an upgrade. And it the perfect time of year to buy in twos. One for you and one for another technology loving friend or loved one! Christmas is on it's way!

Time to heat things up!

Winter is coming, everyone. And in some places quicker than others! It's time to bust out that old coat... Or better yet, get a new one! We're crazy about some of the coats available for winter. Check out just a few of our favorites.

We love the fit and look of this coat by Banana Republic! It's so girly! The little bow is just too precious! The shoulders have such beautiful detail.You'll always look your best in this coat. It's basic yet will certainly help you stand out!

Perhaps a flash of bright color is what your winter wardrobe needs. Pop out against the bleak grey backdrop. This electric blue coat by Tibi could be perfect for you! We love the loose, drop shoulder style. We get an almost 80's/90's feel!

This is another favorite! We love the classic look of this coat by ASOS. The toggles are such a cool detail. And the loose, almost baggy fit is perfect for winter. It looks so warm and comfortable. And the camel color is so beautiful. Pair it with a big, knit red scarf for a classic look.

So, lets keep warm in style this winter! Which coat is your favorite? Let us know in the comments!

Get in on those fall trends!

Lets get dressed for fall! Glamour shared 10 wearable fall trends. And we're sharing our favorites with you today!

We're really in to beanies for the fall time. They are both practical and fashionable. You won't be stepping too far out of your comfort zone. And your ears and head will thank you! Add them with your casual pieces like flannels and over sized sweaters for a laid back look. Or pair them with a dress or skirt for a chic look. Contrasting the two looks is a really fun take on this look! Wear them slouched towards the back of your hear or straight on top!

Like we we're saying, turtlenecks are sexy! Really, really sexy! We love this look for fall. It's such a versatile look. Find a few in basic colors and start layering them. They are going to add warmth without the bulk! Try them under coats and vests for a classic look. Wear a bright red turtleneck under a tan or dark brown coat for a fun pop of color. You'll really stand out against the bleak colors of fall and winter. 

Now this is different! Slouchy pants. A close cousin to the harem pants that we're popular this summer. But these are a bit more refined! Perfect for work or winding down afterwards. They are so chic! Pair them with some heels and a button up blouse to complete this polished look! And if you wish, accessorize with a fun belt! Go ahead and go crazy!

What fashion trend will you be sporting this fall? Let us know!

Fall is right around the corner!

Summer is nearly halfway over! Crazy right?! We're already starting to plan for the fall. Nothing too crazy but we did find a great article on Glamour that gives a little sneak peek into this fall's do's and don'ts. Stayed tuned as we cover a few of the highlights.

Oh how we miss wearing hats! Well, we have a few sun hats.... But there's nothing quite like the hats we wear when it's chilly out. Hats are going to be a must have this fall. We encourage you to try it out! Even if you're not a "hat person". Everyone can be a hat person! Everyone can rock a beanie. Slouch it on your head or wear it traditionally with a pom pom on top! Or try out a fedora or bucket style hat for a classic look. Go for color! Jewel tones are beautiful in the fall. Or maybe a pop of mustard yellow. Go crazy for hats!! 

Speaking of color.... Emerald is still in! It's the color or the year and we're still in love! Add it in where ever you can. Use it as an accent. As simple as a cocktail ring, skinny belt or even a pair of kitten heels. It's such a gorgeous color! It's covering the fall runways. Mix it in with other jewel tones and neutrals for a beautiful yet muted fall look. We can hardly wait! 

We're happy to see the military look is still in! We're in love with the structured look. It's an easy way to add an edge to your look. And something about fall makes us want to toughen up a little. Opt for a military style jacket. Look for strong lines, buttons and that classic military green color. And then add back in more feminine pieces for a high fashion look! 

So, get out there and start assembling you fall ensembles! Stores are already starting to bust out their fall and winter items. Stay ahead of the game and get a few pieces that will excite you for the upcoming season! We know we're excited for cooler weather, sweaters and falling leaves. Are you?

Summer lovin: Swimwear!

Summer is right around the corner! Well, for most of us... Our apologies for those out there who still have snow in April. Yuck! Well, chances are you're going to need a new swimsuit sooner or later! Today we're talking bathing suits!

Glamour just did a piece talking about the most flattering bathing suits for your body type. We thought they had some great ideas and we wanted to share some of our favorites.

We love this two piece suit by Ann Taylor Loft. The giraffe print is just too adorable! And the shape offers an alternative the string bikini. We think it would be fun to pair the top of this suit with cherry red bottoms. Buying a print bikini and several solid colored tops or bottoms is a great way to switch up your bathing suit style.

This two piece from bare necessities is too cool! They suggest this style if you are a little more "bootylicious" than others. The cleavage you'll sport along with this style will draw the eyes up. This print is loud, fun and crazy! We think printed suits are the way to go for summer 2013.

She wore an itsy bitsy teeny weeny yellow polka dot bikini... and so can you! We love this bikini from Forever 21. How cute! And you can't beat that price. No one is going to have trouble finding you on the beach. If you want to sport a classic style and stand out, this is the bathing suit for you!

We gotta give some love to one pieces too! This one found on shopbop.com is so fun. We really love the classic color scheme. It's a basic bathing suit a little dressed up! And the stripes definitely give this suit some form nautical feel. We love it!

 No matter what style you choose, remember that your body is beautiful no matter what size or shape! Show off as much or as little as you like. But most of all, remember to have lots and lots of summer fun!

Simple Spring and Summer Beauty

As we transition into warmer temperatures, our beauty habits and trends change as well. For summer, we're thinking lighter, natural makeup. And we want our hair up and out the way. We want to be able to spend all day outside without having constant makeup and hair touch ups. Do you crave this fun, carefree look as much as we do? Don't you worry. We have a few tips for simple, summertime beauty.

We have been watching a recent beauty trend become extremely popular: BB creams. This product was only sold in East and Southeast Asia until a few years ago. Basically, it an all in one face product. It moisturizes, primes and covers your imperfections. And, most formulas contain SPF. Which is great for summertime. It's a quick way to get great, lightweight coverage and protection for the sun's harmful rays. Overall, it's supposed to improve the quality of your skin.

There is a lot of selection out there; from high end to drugstore. Elle just shared their top picks. Some of our favorites made the list! For high end, we love the Origins BB Cream with white tea. It's a great, all-natural formula. And it supposed to help prevent aging which is important when you're spending long days out in the sun. 

If you are looking for a great drugstore alternative, Loreal's Magic Skin Beautifier BB Cream also has a great formula. It "primes, perfects, hydrates and protects". And we can say, it does all four things! It's a really great product. Just set with some powder and you're ready to walk out the door! 

Well, not quite yet! What are you going to do with that hair? We have a few ideas! Glamour shared their favorite spring up-dos. We love this tousled top knot that Jennifer Lawrence is sporting. It so simple to do! Check out this quick and simple tutorial that we found on sheknows.com. We will definitely be sporting this fun easy hairstyle all through spring and summer. 

See? Carefree summer makeup and hair isn't too hard! It's easy! Why do you think they call in carefree? What do you think? Tweet us your thoughts and tips on simple summer beauty tricks and tips!

No funny business here! Just prints and plenty of them!!

Happy April Fool's day! Now, don't you worry. There aren't any tricks here today! We're just bringing you a bit of spring fashion advice. Today we're talking prints!

Prints always seem to trend during the spring and early summer. But it seems they are especially trendy this year. And we are loving them too!

Just this weekend, we were looking at an article on Glamour. They were focusing on printed skirts and what looks best with your body type. Our favorites were this zig-zag skirt from Anne Klein. Oh and this more affordable pencil style skirt from Old Navy looks fun!

We recommend pairing a sheer blouse up top or even a solid colored t-shirt for a more casual look. Tuck the shirt in and add a skinny brown belt to emphasis your waistline. Either way, we think adding in some printed skirts into your everyday spring wardrobe will add some whimsy!

Cosmopolitan also shared some of their favorite printed clothing. We told you prints are in! Spring often presents some fun, semi formal events for all all to attend; bridal and baby showers and garden parties galore! We think this dress featured in the article from Piperlime would be perfect to wear! And tribal prints transition wonderfully into summertime.

Or maybe you already have the perfect outfit. Well, don't forget about accessories! Cosmo says printed scarves we one of the main features on the Dolce and Gabbana spring runway. Here's a fun tip! Hit up your local thrift or vintage shop for some fun patterned scarves of your own. Wear them as a headband, tie them around a ponytail or wear them around you neck. Scarves are just for the winter and fall!

Easter Sunday Style

Believe it or not, Easter is this Sunday. It feels like it was just Christmas! Don't get us wrong. We're excited for this holiday that marks the start of spring. It's the perfect time to show off your new spring dress, hat or pair of shoes. If you're still deciding on what to wear, we can help! Here's our take on Easter Sunday fashion. 

When it comes to choosing what to wear, it's good to think cute but also modest. But that doesn't mean grandma style! Glamour magazine recently posted about Easter fashion. We loved all the pieces they showed us. Our favorite has to be the Kimchi blue Alabama dress from Urban Outfitters. It's a great loose-fitting shift dress. It's a great basic dress that is really easy to accessorize. This dress seems comfortable enough to wear all day long. Plus, it won't be completely impractical when you're dashing to and fro, searching for Easter eggs. 

We also loved the pair of brocade pants from J.Crew. They have such a fun design and are a bit dressier. We think they would look great paired with a white button down peter pan colored blouse, a gold statement necklace and ballet flats. It's a great way to look dressy but also stay comfortable. And we are all about comfort! 

We found another fun article on Vogue talking all about Easter hats. There are still some out there who go all out, sporting giant hats. But for those of us who aren't as daring, there are other choices! We loved the cloche hat. It's so retro and cute. And we find it to be festive and fun. If the one from Barneys isn't quite in your price range, we suggest Target! We just saw some adorable cloche styles hats in stock the other day. 

We hope our little Easter style guide has inspired you! And we wish you a Happy Easter! May the Easter bunny leave you the biggest chocolate bunny of them all!
