The cutest shoes ever!

Ah, fellow readers, it's been so long! Sorry for the brief lack of posts here at CM, I know I've been terribly busy with school & scholarships, & I'm sure the other girls have been just as busy. (You try catching back up after missing a week of school!)

But, let us not think that this week has been wasted. I found the cutestcutestcutest pair of shoes! I'm going to buy them soon for my outing to Six Flags. [:

This pair, from Payless Shoe Source, are very similar to the ones at Old Navy & Forever 21, for just a few dollars less.

While I would prefer ones that are pink, like those found at F21, I like the heel on these better & the color is too fun to pass up. However, this seems to be a hot style this season, so I might end up with two pairs!

I'm going to the mall tonight to try them on, & I'll let everyone know how they feel.

Prom!

As you girls know, prom is just around the corner and I know that almost all of you are still looking for the perfect dress. I've found some gorgeous dresses that I'm sure you ladies will love. And I have to warn you, they may be on the expensive side, but prom is something you want to remember for the rest of your life, right? So, lets make the most of it.

Longer Dresses:

These dresses are absolutely gorgeous. If you want a more princess-y looking gown, then these are the styles you should go for. Personally, I find that longer prom dresses look a lot classier and more formal as well. If you want more of a casual prom dress look, then look for some dressers that are more shorter in length.

Where to find these dresses:
All can be found at: Prom Girl.net

Shorter Dresses:

These shorter dresses have a more sexy and playful vibe to them, and they're just as gorgeous as the longer dresses. The type of prom dress you choose should reflect your personal style. If you like a more classic and elegant look, go for a longer dress. For a more playful and flirty look, try on some shorter dresses. Your prom should be what you make it. Don't be afraid to spend some extra cash for a night you'll remember forever.

Spring Outfits!

Please note that I did not make these outfits!

This is a really BRIGHT, fun outfit! You wouldn't expect it to work, but it really does. It'd be perfect for walking around in.


Does anyone else love the simple, classic look of this? It's so fresh & clean. Everything looks comfortable & breezy, & goes together really well. I like the color in the bag. I would probably dress them up with some silver bangles on my arm.

I dig this one because it's so simple & clean. I love white, especially in spring, & the bag & tank are too cute. While I like the wedges, I'm not sure if I like wedges with mini-skirts & tanks. I think I would wear a less revealing shirt if I wore those with the skirt. I love the bag, though, it's perfect for a day at the beach!


I absolutely love this outfit! The shorts are adorable & I love that the tank is loose, but still feminine. I'm dying for the shoes! They remind me of boating shoes, but cuter! I don't really like white swimsuits because I'm afraid of them becoming see-through, but this one is cute. I love the little anchors all over it. I think the colors of the top & shorts go really well & the shoes add a nice pop. [:


I really want to go shopping for spring & summer clothing now!

Springtime. [:

Because the weather here in Texas has been so hot lately, I've been in a springtime/summertime mood! This includes makes summer playlists on my iPod, planning Spring Break, and maybe most important - swimsuit shopping!
I went to Target today, and fell in love with the below suit. I figured since I'll be wearing to Six Flags in a few weeks, why not make an entire outfit? So, folks, here you go - my first springtime outfit!

I tried to keep everything young & fun. I know not everyone likes ripped jeans, so obviously you could wear normal shorts. I chose a bright pink because not only is pink my favorite color, but brights are always hot in the spring. The shell necklace gives the outfit a beachy-vibe, & the white flip-flops match not only the top, but also the suit. The beach bag doesn't necessarily have to match anything, but it doesn't contrast so bad to the point where it's horribly tacky. This would be the perfect oufit to spend the day at Six Flags or out shopping!

My Style Notebook.

In a few posts of mine, I've mentioned my "style file" or "style notebook.," promising pictures as it grew & wasn't so plain. Well, it's grown! I present to you an abundance of pictures. You can click on them to make them bigger, and if anyone wants close-ups/better pictures, just ask. Also, please note that it's not just fashion pictures, but articles that interest me as well. (Some of them don't pertain to fashion, but they're good references.)



















Also, I just want to show off my Valentine's Day present before ending this!

MY Fashion Week

If you didn't know, this past week was New York Fashion Week, which featured the likes of Zac Posen, Badgley Mischka, Ralph Lauren, and Max Azaria. In honor of this event, I documented my outfits from the past week as well. Actually, only Monday-Wednesday. My outfits on Thursday and Friday were quite boring: just a pair of sweats and a tee. Oh yes, and please excuse my extremely messy room







and to end, I think I'm in love with this Tadashi dress:

Always classy; never trashy

Day out on the town.
Every girl needs a look that will make her seem classy and fashionable. Whether you're going to school, the mall, or even to your job; an outfit like this will create that highclass look.

This outfit is very chic. It looks classy and it will definately let people know that you're a confident woman. The jacket I decided to pick out is a beautiful red color and paried with a cute coral colored cami underneath, will give the outfit some flare. The jacket is fitted to come in at the waist, giving your body the hourglass shape. It also comes down right to the hip, which is just where you want it. If you're on the shorter side, a jacket like this, will make you look taller. I also paired it with a gray straight leg trouser. Trousers are fabulous if you want to look very professional and sophisticated. If you just want a casual look, just take off the jacket. I added some beautiful champagne colored pumps and a neautral brown bag. Adding a neutral colored bag will keep the outfit in balance. You already have most of the color in the top half of the body. If you add too much color, the outfit will look kind of...clownish which is what you don't want. If you want to dress the outfit down a little, just replace the pumps with a pair of light colored flats.

Nightime Chic
If you're the type of girl who loves to have a girls' night out or even go out on a date, you need a sexy, but classy dress for those night's. And nothing say's classy and chic better than a cute little black and white halter dress. This gorgeous dress is just about knee length with a sexy v-neckline to show off the top half of your body. It also has a white wasit line a little below the bust, creating once again, the hourglass figure. To make it more 'night-on-the-town' add a beautiful metallic shoe and a black clutch bag. To spice it up and add a little more class, add a pearl necklace and a pair of pearl earrings to match. You can never go wrong with pearls!
