How to Rock a Jumpsuit
For those days when you want to throw on a chic outfit
without having to coordinate your top with your bottoms, a jumpsuit is the
perfect solution! While you may feel like only those with the last name
Kardashian are fit to wear this extravagant clothing item, think again! Here's what to do (and what not to do) to
ensure you’ll not end up looking like your high school
janitor.
Pair It With a Jacket:
If you’re new to the jumpsuit trend, or want a little extra
coverage, try pairing it with a well-tailored blazer jacket. Pick color tones
that compliment each other, and experiment with a patterned blazer if your
jumpsuit is a solid.
Find Your Perfect Fit:
Fit is crucial when it comes to rocking a jumpsuit. You
don’t want to wear something that is too tight that it looks like a second
skin, but you also don’t want to look like you wrapped window curtains around
your body. Pick a jumpsuit that fits snug but not too tight- you don’t want any
fabric pulling.
Don’t Over-do it on
the Accessories:
Since a jumpsuit is already a big statement piece, keep your
jewelry and/or hair accessories minimal, if at all. A simple pair of earrings
or a bangle bracelet will do the trick!
Choose the Right
Fabric:
You should never wear a jumpsuit with a clingy fabric such
as spandex, polyester, or pleather. The fabric should perfectly drape over the
body. Cotton and knit jersey fabric are both
perfect jumpsuit material.

How to replicate the Grammy fashion trends... at home
The biggest music event of the year took place this past
weekend and had some major style standouts. Here are some of the major fashion
trends we noticed, and how to replicate them at home!
Metallics/Sequins: Taylor Swift, Chrissy Teigen,
and Ciara were all dripping with metallic sequins encrusted throughout the body
of their gowns. If you’re looking to get your shine on in a metallic dress,
keep it elegant! Add a pearl necklace, throw on a pair of black pumps, or wear
your favorite shade of red lipstick. This is a surefire way to look like the
belle of the ball!
Red-Hot: Miranda Lambert, Pink, and Colbie
Caillat were all sporting red-hot numbers at the awards show, opting for
dresses in sassy crimson hues. If you’re looking to wear red to make a dramatic
statement at your next party or event, choose something well-tailored and
sophisticated, as red is already sultry. Use black as your accessorizing color,
whether it be your shoes, clutch, or jewelry.
Black and
White Color Blocking: Sarah Hyland and Judith Hill both stunned in
show-stopping black and white color blocked dresses. Try using black and white color
blocking to your advantage, as a slimming technique! Wear a white dress with
black accents on the sides to make your waist look smaller, or choose a black
collared dress to draw attention to your face.
Sexy Cutouts: Paris Hilton, Anna Kendrick, and Louise Roe all chose to show some skin with sexy cutouts on their midriffs, thighs, or chest area. If you’d like to give this trend a try, choose a dress with cutouts on the area of your body you feel most comfortable with. Also, keep the look tasteful by limiting yourself to one or two cutouts per outfit- remember: a little peek goes a long way!

How to Dress Like Your Favorite Fashion Icons From History
Audrey Hepburn: Though her little black dress, oversized
pearls, and dark sunglasses worn in the movie “Breakfast at Tiffany’s” made
Audrey a huge fashion sensation, her personal style was more subdued. Ms.
Hepburn’s essential clothing items included capris pants, feminine blouses, and
silk scarves. Her favorite accessories
included floppy hats, ballet flats, and cat eye sunglasses.
Brigitte Bardot: As a fashion forward French actress and
model, this blonde-haired beauty started clothing trends of her own. The
“Bardot top” which shows off the collarbone, and ends at the shoulder is still
a classic staple found in many women’s wardrobes today. Brigitte was also known
for wearing mini skirts, headscarves, and black cat-eye liner.
Princess Diana: Though her Elizabeth & David Emanuel
wedding dress initially put the Princess on the map, her momentum in the
fashion world continued on. Diana was known for her elegant yet simplistic style.
She often wore tailored blazers with denim pants to casual events, and
accessorized with riding boots, belts, and pearl jewelry.
Jacqueline
Kennedy: Jackie-O was not only the First Lady of the country, but also a leader
in fashion. She took out uncomfortable stockings and tight waisted crinolines
and replaced them with loose-fitting shift dresses and trendy pillbox hats. Now
women everywhere were flocking to imitate her style. Jackie accessorized with
oversized sunglasses, kitten heels, and gloves.
