Am I Clueless?

I love the movie Clueless, it's a classic fashion movie.  Another great movie is Breakfast at Tiffany's and My Fair Lady.  Those both star Audrey Hepburn and i love her.  She is my favorite actress in the world.  This past year in my high school we did My Fair Lady and i was so happy.  But the girl who played Eliza didn't do nearly as good of a job as Audrey did in the movie.  One of my very good friends suggested another movie to me called Gentlemen Prefer Blonde's.  I can't wait to see that!  (Thank you Diana)

Classics...gotta have one of each

I have one of each of these items in my closet.  A classic white button down shirt, skinny jeans, khakis, pencil skirt, fun skirt, tuxedo jacket (a def must), a pair of denim shorts, and the Little Black Dress.  Now I can't afford Chanel, but I do have a clutch, a tote, and a cute shoulder bag.  I have a pair of converse (those are a must), gladiator sandals, flats, winter boots, and of course black pumps.  And you can't forget the basic jewelry.

Favorites...

Disney Stars and their music

So have you noticed that Disney has attempted to get most, if not all, their stars a record deal?  Have you noticed that only two of their stars actually made it.  Miley Cyrus and Selena Gomez.  It was easy for Miley because she was in a show that made her sing.  It was sorta easy for Selena too because she sings the theme song to her show and she has song on her show.  Oh I guess I can't forget about Demi Lovato and the Jonas Brothers. But Demi got her record deal around the same time she got her show, and the Jonas Brothers were way famous before their Disney stardom.  Now Disney is trying to promote Bridgit Mendler.  I can't say she is bad, but she isn't great.
Some of these people have been huge role models for me, others not so much, and others are in the 'in between' zone.  I really look up to Bridgit Mendler and Selena Gomez.  They haven't been said to do anything bad and I really appreciate that.  Miley is in the 'in between' zone.  Her earlier years were the better ones.  Yes there were stupid rumors going around about her pregnant, but we all knew that wasn't true.  Now there is a rumor about Selena that is pregnant.  Demi Lovato I have never liked, I always got a bad feeling about her.  Unfortunately my feeling was right.  And well the Jonas Brothers, I have always been in love with them, in particular Nick Jonas <3

The City

I now officially have a new favorite T.V. show called The City.  It's an old show and it was on MTV for only 2 seasons.  It stars Whitney Port in it.  It is very fashion focused but still has some of her social life in it.  

Whitney Port along with Lauren Conrad and even Audrina Patridge can credit MTV with some of their fame.  I know Audrina Patridge doesn't technically have a clothing line but she does model and I don't believe she would have been as big if it weren't for The Hills.  As for Lauren, she now has one very big clothing line at Kohl's called L.C. by Lauren Conrad and an up and coming line called Paper Crown.  Paper Crown is her very own line, Kohl's owns some of her L.C. line. Lauren's L.C. line is very affordable and most of my wardrobe is that line (don't judge I'm just obsessed).

Whitney Port also has her own line called Whitney Eve.  The line resembles a lot of what she would wear in her daily life.  Though this line starts around $80 give or take.  She is quoted on the Whitney Eve site to be saying "I want to produce a clothing line that could appeal to a mass audience and make girls feel comfortable.  I want the collection to grow and adapt as I do."  It's small right now but cute very cute.

Trending topics in FASHION!

The sheer Maxi Skirt is a big trend in this year's spring/summer fashion.  Many blogs and fashion websites predicted it.  For example, Fashion, Lauren Conrad, Mod Cloth, Go Jane, just to name a few.  And although it is a little Risque for my taste it is very popular.  Pioneered by Mary Kate and Ashley Olsen it's going to see it's self through summer.  Like I said, it's a little showy but it's able to be pulled off.  

Tassels are trend number 2 that stood out.  I know what you are thinking...those are only for graduation right?  WRONG!  It's a symbol of luxury, not just for graduation or a furniture decoration.  Tassels on leather accessories like handbags or purses are very in, but they are also on shoes to belts to hats.  Just give the trend a chance! It does wonders to add little things with a little bang!

Number 3 Trend that has manged to get my eye is Wide-leg pants.  Skinny jeans have been in forever, it's about time they loose their appeal.  Even though every girl must own at least 1 or 2 pairs doesn't mean her whole closet has to be filled with them.  Keep in mind not everyone can pull off Wide-leg pants (don't listen to the talk shows like the Today Show).  You should have an hour glass shape, or at least that would be best.  If they are wide at the top down to just the thigh, they tend to look baggy.  Even though the Wide-leg pant won't be a staple of 2011 don't overlook it, especially when styled right.

Surprising trend number 4, Pleats!  Why this is so surprising I have no idea, it seems like they have been in all the time.  They just also seem very old fashioned.  There is always something that shows up on the runway that pleated, but it's always different.  What is the pleat gonna be in 2011?  Knife pleats. Confusing right?   Knife pleats are single pleats that all go in the same direction.  Boring but it actually looks kinda cool.  When your looking for a statement item, go for something with Knife Pleats, a dress would be even better.  Play with the lightweight fabrics too, Fabrics like crepe and silk tulle and anything that's to the sheer side is particularly on-trend.  Pleats can go all year around but be careful, fashion is a funny thing. You have to have Independence but in order to fit in in the fashion world you have to conform.

Accessories

Cat eye sunglasses! 

Love them.  How can you not?  I do my eyeliner cat eye so it will be fun to have something to take the shape of that.  It's a '50 phenomenon making it's way back, and I absolutely love when clothes and accessories do that.  Vintage shops are my haven.  It works wonders for the square and diamond shape face.  My face is oval so i can wear anything (thank goodness)!  They do an amazing job to block out the sun as all sunglasses should, but they do an amazing job of just adding flare to your wardrobe to that outfit too.  How can you go wrong?  

Betsy Johnson

Fanny Pack...we all shutter at that term right?  It lacks elegance, and we think of our butt too and well we shutter.  Now we are calling it the belt purse, it takes on a new more elegant term!  It's smaller than a fanny pack though, it's a small pouch or purse that is strapped around the hips or waist.  The pouch/purse can be a different accessory all together.  It can be removable (clutch time) and interchangeable with different belts, but it can also come attached to a strap.  It works better when sitting higher, it looks more sophisticated.  Either way though, it's better than a fanny pack *shutter*.
