Mens Fashion

I'm no expert in menswear, but I do know what looks good and what doesn't. After going through several blogs and search engines, I put together some of my favorite styles and trends. Like I stated earlier, I'm no professional. Everything said below is just my personal opinion. Thanks for reading!

Unless you're Scott Disick, I don't expect any guy to be dressed up all the time. When you do decide to dress up though, whether if it's for an event or just for the hell of it, you wanna make sure to look sharp! Now you don't need to wear a full suit to look good. Just throw on a blazer, a t-shirt, and jeans (or colored pants if you're feeling a bit daring) and you're good to go! Here's some of my favorite looks I found during my search:

Last, but not least, guys wearing peacoats are my weakness. Yeah, varsity and leather jackets are cool, but I'd much rather see a guy wearing a peacoat, especially during this season. There's just something about it that makes a guy look a bit more sophisticated, and I'm pretty sure it keeps you a lot warmer too.

Some guys have style, while others don't. However, that might not always be the case. Even some of the best dressed celebrities have their bad days.Originally I was planning on posting the best and worst dressed celebs of 2013 here, but I've decided to leave that for another post where I'll be listing both males AND females. Make sure to check back by the 31st for my next post!

Sound Off: What were some of your favorite male fashion trends this year? Let me know in the comments below. :)

Last Minute Holiday Outfit Ideas

Hey everyone! The holidays are rapidly approaching, are you excited? I am!

Now how many of you have plans, but don't know what to wear? Coming up with a last minute outfit is almost as bad as going last minute shopping for gifts. No worries! I have compiled a few outfit ideas to give you a little inspiration. The best part is, everything listed is under $50! Hope this helped :)

Classic Opaque Tights ($5.80) GUESS Hematite-Tone Earring Set ($20) Shoe Cult Cosmo Cutout Bootie (Sold out) Annie Gold Foil Velvet Dress (Also sold out, sorry!)

This holiday party outfit is perfect for any girl who isn't afraid to stand out. Sure, a little red dress would look amazing, but think about how many other people would be wearing red as well! With this cute printed gold dress, you are bound to be the center of attention. To keep the outfit a bit festive, I added some burgundy tights for a fun pop of color.

Cameo Rose Aztec Cardigan ($28) BKE Nubby Tank Top ($17) Converse High-Tops ($50) Peep Toe Stilettos ($32.80) Ripped Boyfriend Jeans (Sold out)

Are you staying home for the holidays? Or maybe you just don't feel like dressing up? Then, this outfit would be perfect for you! I included two different pairs of shoes because I know not everyone feels like wearing heels all night long, which is totally fine! A fun cardigan, basic black tee, and light wash jeans should be a staple piece in any girl's wardrobe. You could either dress it up or dress down depending on your mood.

Graphic Dove Tee  ($44) Moto Skinny Jeans ($39) Contrast Eyelet Buckle Boots ($37) Animal Pom Pom Beanie ($25) Glass Pearl Earring ($25)

This final outfit is for the urban fashionista. Although I would wear every single outfit above, this was my favorite one to make. I love putting an outfit together with items that most people would never pair them with. It's playful, it's fun, and it would be great for a girl's night out!

My Top 3 Winter Trends 2013

 

#3: Matte Nail Polish

  I don't even know where to start with this trend. While I was on Tumblr a few months ago, I saw many pictures of beautiful nail art with matte finishes and I instantly fell in love. Whether it's a simple black, a fiery red, or quirky purple, adding a matte top coat gives your nails such a unique and fun look. After doing some research, I purchased several different brands and decided to share with you the ones I found worked best:

• OPI - Matte Top Coat ($9) at ULTA

• Essie - Matte About You ($10) at ULTA

Or, if you prefer to spend much less, you could try out this Matte Finisher at ELF Cosmetics for just $2! I personally haven't tried it out, but according to the reviews it might just work for you.

#2: Dark/Vampy Lips

You could never go wrong with a dark lip. However, I've been seeing a whole lot more of it this season. I love this trend because shades like deep plum and oxblood compliment just about every skin tone. Not to mention, a great pop of color could make your outfit look 1,000x better without having to put much effort into it!

#1: Leather

Okay, we all know that leather has been around FOREVER, but who doesn't like leather? These days there are so many styles to choose from: skirts, pants, and of course the classic leather jacket. You could pair your favorite flannel shirt with a leather jacket and some jeans for an 80's grunge look, or you could pair those fancy leather pants with a faux fur vest for more of a glamorous look. The choice is yours! Leather is extremely versatile. You could dress it up, or dress it down which is why it has to be my absolute favorite trend at the moment.

I wanna hear from you guys, what are your favorite Winter trends? Which trends do you hate?! Let me know in the comments below!

Z100's Jingleball 2013

What better way to kick off my blog than to talk about my experience at Z100's Jingleball?! This years lineup was full of some incredible artists such as Jason Derulo, Austin Mahone, Fifth Harmony, Macklemore & Ryan Lewis, Paramore, and Miley Cyrus (my fave) just to name a few.

Aside from the music, I also paid very close attention to what everyone was wearing. After I got home, I couldn't stop thinking about how amazing Selena Gomez and Ariana Grande looked. Not only did they kill it on stage, but they looked great doing it! Selena's style has changed so much over the years and I love it. As for Ariana, she's just so cute. I'm pretty sure these two ladies could wear a paper bag and still look fab because they're just that beautiful. Whoever styled them needs to contact me ASAP because I need those outfits in my life! ( Not sure where I'd wear them to, but that's beside the point :p )
