Street Style - Making A Statement

image
Accessories aren't just fun to collect because of all the different styles and designs out there. They are also an important part of our ensembles.


Accessories can take a would-be-boring outfit and make it enviable and eye-catching. Different accessories can take the same LBD from edgy girls-night-out to classy business dinner with the boss. They help us express who we are and make our style ours. In short, they help us make a statement.


So we caught up with a few of our favorite bloggers to get some inspiration on how they use their favorite statement pieces to help complete their own personal style.


See what they had to say, then click on the slideshow to see our pick for favorite statement pieces.

Video Style Steal - Amy Winehouse 'Back to Black'

image
Despite her troubles with drug and alcohol addiction, it was still a shock when we heard of the tragic death of Amy Winehouse.


A talented individual with a soulful voice full of emotion, Amy Winehouse was a musical genius that worked in many genres with other artists, but was best known for her jazzy, bluesy compositions that had an old school feel and let her smoky voice shine.


To commemorate Amy Winehouse and the music that she gave to the world, we're presenting her 'Back to Black' video. We love the black and white cinematography and classic style.


Click on the slideshow next to see how to get her look.

Recession Chic - The Staycation

image
Summer is the time for weekend getaways, road trips and mini vacations.


We're all envious of the people that are flying off to the Caribbean or Hawaii. We'd love to lounge at the beach or pool and soak up some sun. A day of pampering at the spa sounds amazing.


But alas, many of us no longer have the luxury of three-month-long summer breaks nor do we have the vacation days or money saved up to jet-off for a quick getaway. That doesn't mean you can't relax and unwind resort-style in the comforts of your own home and town, though!


Grab a large umbrella, some suntan lotion and make your way to the nearest beach! Or light some candles and put on the soothing music and give yourself a luxurious facial at home. Need a little more excitement? Round up the gals and make your favorite mix drink and serve them up in a new set of cute cocktail glasses!


The possibilities are endless on your staycation! And while a stayaction is a great way to decompress while saving money, we're taking it one step further! Click on the slideshow to see some of our ideas and get inspired with our staycation picks, all under $50!

To 'Dip-Dye' For!

image
Add a splash to your summer whites! Dip-dying is a pretty and eye-catching way to give your summer look a soft wash of color and to add interest to your ensemble.


Or give your dip-dyed style a more ombre approach with pieces that feature multiple hues! Reminiscent of a summer sunset, this trend that's taking over is perfect for all these hot days/ balmy night activities.


Give your tank top or tee a boost of style or really stand out in the crowd with a dip-dyed maxi skirt or dress. A full head-to-toe look a little too much? Try a great pair of dip-dyed denim cut-offs or a breezy, lightweight scarf to try out this trend in small doses.
