How to dress for Spring when it's still obnoxiously cold!

Photo used with permission from Collage Vintage

Here's the deal: I live in Minnesota, also known as The Coldest State of the United States. And I mean it when I say it was literally blizzarding this time last week, but I've been desperately trying to incorporate spring-y items into my "winter" wardrobe. Some of you may want to skip right over this article because it may well be warm where you are, but to my ladies that are still freezing your asses off, but want to spring up your wardrobe, this is for you!

Necklace, Boots, Jeans

This option is perfect for a day in class or running errands about town! It may be too soon to rock a crop top on its own, but that doesn't mean they can't be layered! Pair it with high-waisted pants and a loose-fitting sweater, and you'll be good to go!

Floral dress, Oxford heels, Cutout boots

These options are perfect for a night out with your girls, or even if you just feel like dressing up a little on a normal day!

Boots, Skirt, Sweater

This outfit isn't dissimilar to what I wore today! Super simple, and comfortable, but still put together! 

Anyways, hope my ideas helped you! Getting on polyvore definitely helped me :)

The 90s are back!

Known and loved TV shows and movies from the 80's and 90's have been my recent go to for a few giggles. It's hard to believe what some people work back then and how they thought bucket hats folded up with a giant fake flower or two on them looked good - you know the ones I'm talking about. Plaid on plaid was cool, and the tighter your curls were, the better. Justin Timberlake anyone?

But I am not here to hate. I'm sure we will all regret some of our own styling choices in centuries to come. It happens to the best of us.

I am writing to commemorate. To honor those who have subconsciously predicted the fashion future. whenever I wach a cheesy Beverly Hills 90210 episode, or the classic Clueless, I get excited when I see clothes I actually like and would wear. Not in a vintage way but in a full priced new season kind of way. Cher Horowitz, a fashion icon in the 90s, is still influential today. I love that in 2013 someone could wear the cute high-waisted shorts and blue sleeveless shirt worn by Lisa in Dirty Dancing and it would not be deemed weird. They have defied the odds of wearing some of the many past trends that are now frowned upon, and this is an achievement.

Get Lucy Hale's Style!

If there’s a celebrity's style that I’m seriously crushing on this spring/summer it's Lucy Hale’s. If you haven’t heard of her then here’s a little bit of background – Lucy Hale is a singer and actress who currently plays Aria Montgomery on ABC Family’s show 'Pretty Little Liars'. Like Lucy, Aria has an amazing, unique style, so I suggest you check it out! The show itself is quite fashion focused, among other things, and each main character has their own style. 

But back to Lucy - she’s often seen in boho type outfits, whilst still following the trends. Donning hats and layering bracelets, Lucy seems to enjoy accessorizing. Here are some of my favourite outfits that she’s worn recently to Coachella and where to find similar items!

Where: Just Jared Music Festival Brunch, Coachella, 2013

1. Zig Zag Ikat Backpack - Topshop

2. Horse Bracelet Pack - Topshop

Emma Overload!

Whenever an award ceremony comes around, I look to see what Emma Watson is wearing.  The epitome of youth and class, she never fails to bring a radiant, elegant, and semi-conservative dress to the forefront of everyone’s attention. It’s just hit me however, that almost every dress has been almost an exact replica of the other!

She just wore this lovely mini-party dress to the MTV Movie Awards. Wild patterns seem to be her forte, because if you take a look at the 2012 MTV Movie Award dress, it is a very similar cut andneckline! We seem to have developed a bit of a comfort zone here..

When we go back even further to the 2012 People’s Choice award, we get the same feeling as before, chaotic pattern, conservative neckline and shorter hemline.

Then there’s the 2012 MTV Video Music Awards…

And the 2011 MTV Movie Awards…

Along with the 2011 Elle Style Awards.

See what I mean? This has been going on for three years! Although there’s nothing really wrong with it, I’d l just love to see her debut in something completely shocking and different.

I’d personally want to see her rock the thigh-high slit like Angelina Jolie. If you could style Emma, what would you want her next look to be?

Dark Demi

It seems that all the Disney starlets have an album dropping soon!

Selena just dropped her latest single “Come  And Get It” and we all know that Miley has joined the Twerk Team indefinitely with Snoop Dog  Lion. Demi has yet to drop Heart Attack, so in light of that, today we’re going to be focusing on her style.

What I love about Demi Lovato’s style is that it is more accessible. It has that bad-ass grunge aspect to it, but less so than Miley Cyrus. They both echo each other in their intensity, but Demi’s style seems to be a bit more relaxed. You are more likely to find a piece that Demi has worn before in the mainstream market and still be able to pay your rent.

For example, she just wore an all Topshop outfit on Jimmy Kimmel live. The black studded leather jacket is a staple piece which you’ll be able to wear with a combination of outfits, along with a classic black dress. If you follow Demi’s style, you’ll find that many of her pieces can be mixed and matched while still maintaining an edge, thanks to the all black color scheme that seems to be her fave. Black can most certainly be worn in Spring and Summer, so get out those leather jackets!
