MyTights.Com

We are still in that weird transition period where the weather is bouncing between chilly and warm. I’m jealous of those of you who are already taking out your summer dresses from your closet. The weather here still calls for light layers, and tights are perfect day or night. During the day a colorful, fun pair is perfect with shorts or under a dress. For night a plain black pair is always classic, though right now patterned and lace tights are very “in”.

A website called MyTights.com has an amazing selection of tights. Their products have appeared in a variety of magazines, including Marie Claire and Vogue. The founder of MyTights.com, Laura, started the site out of an actual dislike of buying tights. Through the creation of MyTights.com she now has access to high quality tights without having to step inside a store. This of course means the same thing for you!

The site itself is very easy to navigate, and my first stop, of course, was “fashion hosiery”. There is literally every type of design imaginable; from Christmas-theme tights to preppy-argyle tights. My personal favorites are the lace tights that come so many different designs it’s hard not to find something you like! Don’t worry. The site also provides many selections of classic hosiery including opaque, sheer, wool, and thick tights. On top of their intensive tights collection, they also offer a variety of socks. And no, they are not your typical socks. MyTights.com stocks trendy over the knee socks in different patterns and colors, along with pretty, lace ankle socks and much, much more. They even stock shapewear! And on top of having an amazing selection of tights, socks, and more, the prices are in everybody’s range. What more could you ask for?

Easy DIY project

It's always a downer when you are in a desperate need for a little shopping therapy but you don't have the extra cash to splurge. One of the best (and cheap) ways to re-invent your wardrobe and make your clothes seem new are to do DIY mini projects on them. I personally wouldn't try to put any embellishments on shirts or sweaters for fear of ruining them instead, but ripping up tights with a simple pin is easy for anyone to do.

I saw this DIY: Ripped Tights post at Miss at la Playa's blog, and I can't wait to try it on a pair of my old tights.

Here's an excerpt from her post:
" This is very easy to do. Remember how upset you used to get when your tights ripped? Now you can wear them instead of throwing them out. Follow the trends the girls from LA in The Cobra Snake are wearing.

Maybe it is too much for you, but I assure you that if you do it well, some runners on your stockings will look très bien.

YOU NEED:

-A pair of tights. It can be any colour, but it looks better on black. You can use an old pair with previous runners on it, but if you want to buy new tights for this experiment, you can go to H&M, there are good quality tights just for 3 $.
-Pins

STEPS:

1. Put the tights on. It will be better as the holes/runners will be at the exact place you want them to be, plus, the ripping is easier as the tights are stretched.
2. Take a pin and pull out a thread. Then, with your hands, pull the thread until a runner appears.
3. Stretch the fabric to extend the runner.

IF YOU WANT IT TO LOOK LIKE THIS:

Just pull more threads with the pin to create paralell runners. This is my favourite effect, it looks like you bought it like that. Don't make any holes, it won't look too grunge.

FOR A MORE EXAGGERATED LOOK:

When you pull the thread with the pin, start a runner and with your hands make holes along the runner. "

Color me purple

I hope everyone had a fantastic Valentine's Day! Whether you're coupled up or not, everyone enjoys a nice three day weekend. I definitely am after my stressful week. And what better way to de-stress yourself than doing a little online shopping?

I've been obsessed with the color purple these days. Unfortunately I haven't had much time to shop, but I did end up getting a beautiful purple scarf to add some color to my dark outfits. I even have some dark purple polish on my nails right now. Purple comes in so many different shades but here a couple items that caught my eye.

1) Steve Madden Platforms T-bar Sandals, $130.43
2) Silence & Noise Matryoshka Dress, $54.99
3) J.crew Purple Headband, $(website error sorry!)
4) Enamel Leaf Earrings, $4.00
5) Fringed Colorblock Satin Scarf, $9.80
6) Felix Rey Trompe l'Oeil Bow Clutch, $(currently out of stock sorry!)

Sorry about some of the missing links! Hopefully they start working soon.

Garbo is back!

How many of you are familiar with Be & D's studded Garbo? If you are, then you know that it was introduced by the designers Be Inthavong and Steve Dumain five years ago. And if you're already a big fan, then you'll be happy to hear that they decided to relaunch the bag along with many similar styled clutches and belts. Supposedly many celebrities have already ordered the bags! And even if you haven't heard of them before, if you're looking for a high quality, trendy but timeless bag, the Garbo satchel would be a good handbag to consider. Studs are hot on everything from shoes to jackets, and a studded satchel would be a perfect toughening element to your outfits.

Of course I had to peek at their website and I couldn't help but drool after these other items featured on their site.

Cosette Hobo, $995.00
A perfect mixture of simplicity and trendy details. Although they come in other colors (and materials) this deep purple is my favorite.

Belleville Hobo, $1,890.00
If it wasn't for the price tag, I'd scoop this up since it'd be perfect for school. Hobo bags look effortlessly chic, and mustard yellow is such an eye-catching color.

Peeptoe Slingback, $695.00
In theme with the tough element, this rocker-vibe shoe in a python texture would be a match made in heaven with a girly dress.

Beatty Wedge, $485.00
Even though this is a wedge, it's still dressy enough to wear out to any sort of formal event. And the black and gold keeps things interesting.


But my favorite of all the items on their site would have to be the Perry Mini. And yes, I would check out the sale section (I'm a college student, hello).

Perry Mini (in fuschia), $415.00
I can't get over this amazing color. Although not as subtle as deep purple, it's still a handbag that can pretty much work with any outfit. Alas, it is all sold out. This would be my luck.

Ruffled

All things girly seem to be the recent trend these days. Just a couple days ago I featured a post on lace, and if you love romantic details, then you'll love this one too. Ruffles have been seen everywhere on the runways, and there are so many ways you can incorporate it into your wardrobe. When I used to think of ruffles, I'd think about stuffy white blouses. Well, that's apparently not the case anymore. Just look at these pieces I managed to find:

1) Paul & Joe Ruffle One Shoulder Dress, $252.90
The perfect party dress. The color is so rich, and one-shoulder dresses are so "in".
2) Elastic Ruffle Waist Belt, $12.80
If you're not ready to commit, this ruffle belt is very subtle, yet everyone will notice.
3) Deux Lux Ruffle Bucket Bag, $68.00
A big ruffle bag takes any casual outfit to a different level.
4) Patent Ruffle Pumps, $22.99
Shoes are another great way to try just a touch of this trend.
5) Super Candy Ruffle Head Wrap, $28.00
If you're a total fashionista, ruffles on a head wrap is a total unexpected place to wear them.
6) Hawks by Geren Ford Ruffle Tank, $78.00
The easiest way to start; a black ruffled top. It will last you decades.

A little bleu

I don't know how many of you have heard of the online store dubbed Bleu Dame. I actually first became exposed to it through one of the very first fashion blogs I used to read (unfortunately it's hardly updated now). They carry the "latest in designer inspired sunglasses, celebrity jewelry, gauze scarfs, hair accessories, bags & more." All of this for a budget friendly price.

I've been lusting after a pair of classic Ray Ban Wayfarers, but in a time like this I can't afford to shell out $140 for sunglasses. Luckily, Bleu Dame carrys very similar look-a-likes and in a variety of styles and colors (all for $12-$15).

And although they sell tops, I'd spend more time checking out their accessories. They have an amazing selection that'll be sure to catch the eye of every trend-conscious fashionista.

1) Foil Metallic Double Strand Braided Wrap Headband, $4.80
2) Luxe Medium Wispy Peacock Feather Earrings, $14.80
3) Black Heart 2-in-1 Mirror & Keychain, $8.80
4) Fringe Antique Print Scarf, $18.80
5) Louis Vuitton Inspired Millionaire Luxe Sunglasses, $5.00-24.80
6) Luxe Twisted Jeweled Metal & Suede Rope Bracelet, $20.80

I haven't ordered anything from here yet, but these are a few of my favorite pieces. Maybe I'll treat myself to some things off this list after I finish my midterms...

Lace 'em

Although you might not be thinking of lace in a weather like this (rain, anyone else?), it definitely eases my mind about what's happening outside by shopping for some Spring clothing. Lace was blatantly evident in Diane von Furstenberg's Spring 2009 collection, and it would be a great light, feminine piece to add to your wardrobe. I'm not sure about you, but I've never been too fond of the idea of lace till I looked at some less "fruffy" versions like these:

Splurge

1) Generra Pull On Lace Skirt, $99.00
2) Diane von Furstenberg Olvida Lace Top, $164.00
3) T-Bags One Shoulder Lace Dress, $278.00

Steal

1) Floral Lace Flutter Top, $19.99
2) Lacey Chiffon Blouse, $29.50
3) Floral Lace Shift Dress, $14.99

Smidgen

1) Silence & Noise Lace Leggings, $34.00
2) Lace Skimmer, $19.99
3) UO Mesh lace Necklace, $78.00
4) Apt 9. Lace Clutch, $23.80

To be coveted

I love finding new stores to check out. I recently "bumped" into Tobi, which sells popular and some upcoming designer goodies. Of course this means that I can't afford more than half of what's on this site, but that doesn't mean I can't do a bit of "window" shopping. (You can indeed find things for a steal, such as sunglasses for as little as $35, but you've gotta browse).

1) Prairie Underground Mothette Dress, $253
I'm always on the look-out for unique pieces, and this dress is definitely one. The detail and nipping make the dress ultra-feminine, but in no way would you be uncomfortable in this cotton, jersey material.
2) Toywatch Plasteramic Watch with Crystals, $295
I'm not a big watch fan, but this is so clean and simple, I'm in love!
3) Allison Daniel Chinese Knot Ring, $28
I have an addiction to gold rings, and this one even comes with an adjustable band. It would be a perfect addition to spice up my cocktail ring collection.
4) Super Shield Sunglasses, $178
These glasses give you the perfect vintage feel, but keeps modern with some gold detailing. It would be amazing to have these on hand when the weather here gets confused and acts like it's spring already.
5) Joie Abby Tunic Top, $104
Embroidered tunics are perfect to slip on when you're feeling a bit lazy. They practically accessorize your outfit for you!
6) Sam Edelman Mariella Heels, $129
I adore Sam Edelman's designs, and this is no exception. Especially with it's subtle, but glamorous faux snakeskin straps.
7) Grey Ant Cardigan Sweater, $319
Although this is way too pricey to add to my cardigan collection (only nine so far), it's still worth a look with its decorative prints and stripes.

Clutch this bag

I don't know if you guys remember my Secret Santa wishlist that I shared with you, but there was this black and gold clutch on there that I loved. Well, I did like the gifts that I received from my gifter, but I didn't get the clutch on there. I checked it out at the store and realized I didn't like it as much as I thought I did. But I did find seven that I fell in love with from different websites. Now if only I could choose just one...

1) Kettle Black Studded Clutch, $194.00
2) Patchwork Flap Clutch, $23.71
3) Dialog Xandra Wooden Clutch Bag, $71.10
4) Kimchi Blue Printed Clutch, $38.00
5) Linea Pelle Croco Dylan Folding Clutch, $276.00
6) Paul's Boutique Bow Clutch Bag, $32.38
7) Buckle Box Clutch, $39.50

Glove me

Now that the holidays are officially over, it's back to work and school. Getting up early and dragging myself out into the cold makes it harder for me to choose fashionable outfits, instead of just throwing on that old sweater. But with the help of some chic and warm accessories (and maybe a blast from the heater) it makes changing out of my pj's a whole lot easier.

I've already mentioned scarfs about a hundred times in this blog, so I think I'll stop. And although that's my first choice of cold-weather accessories, I've become attached to another. Gloves. I know some of you may wear them, but I honestly haven't worn them since elementary school. Maybe it's the fact that I never thought they were that cute and also count in the fact that I ride my bike around campus (which equals freezing fingers), I'm definitely shopping around for a pair this weekend! And not only are they a whole lot prettier than I remember, they're inexpensive which is always a plus in my book!

1) Birdseye Convertible Glove, $16.99
2) Full Length Ribbed Gloves, $6.80
3) Striped Knit Gloves, $5.80
4) Striped Angora Gloves, $8.82
5) Cherie Flower Glove, $12.50
6) Marled Shearling Mitten, $(website isn't loading for me for some reason).

Travel Chic

I know many of you are on your winter break and planning (or already have planned) some fun trips. I myself won't be going anywhere farther than an hour away (especially after taking that horrible five hour car drive home), but a few of my friends are already leaving for a trip tomorrow. So in case you haven't left yet, here are some of my chic traveling trips to ensure that you look as fabulous as you are comfortable!

Now when you're traveling comfort is essential. You don't want to be fussing with your clothing when you're lugging your packed bags into the airport (or trunk). One of the most important things to remember are layers. You don't want to be stuck either too cold or too hot, so make sure to wear two or three lightweight layers of clothing so they can be easily taken off. This is a good tip to remember especially on airplanes because of the fluctuating temperatures.

• Short Sleeve Deep V-Neck, $22.00
• Printed Lace V-Neck Tunic, $48.00
• Hooded Scarf Cardigan, $25.00
  

And now for the bottoms. I'm all for comfort, but still no pajamas or ugly sweats please. But if you don't want to wear jeans, try these cashmere pants from VS. They're more put-together, especially if you keep the top half of your outfit neat (no baggie hoodies!). I prefer to just wear some of my broken in jeans. They're just as comfortable, and you don't look like a mess.

• Cashmere pants, $148.00
• Lapis Skinny Boot Cut Jeans, $38.99
• American Rag Skinny Jeans, $49.00
  

When choosing what shoes to wear, opt for a pair that can be worn with socks. This is also an important thing to remember if you're traveling by plane. Thanks to the tight security shoes must be taken off. You don't want to be walking on the ground with bare feet. Sneakers are always a good option if you're looking for comfort. But don't overlook other options such as the cute boots featured above! They are just as cozy and snug, but a bit more fashionable.

• Sam Edelman Ursula Boots, $78.90
• Converse Jack Purcell Shoes, $49.99
• Steve Madden Bonanza Boots, $78.95
  

You might think just because all your clothing is comfortable, it can't be chic. Don't be fooled! I'm a big fan of basics since you can wear them so many ways. But you can always up their fashion-y factor by adding some chic accessories! To look put together in the cold wrap a scarf around your neck. Beanies and berets are another way to stay warm and look good. Big messenger bags are perfect for all your carry-ons, and travel tags in a girly pink make it easy to find your luggage!

• Foldover Tackle Bag, $39.99
• Traveling Girl Luggage Tags, $4.80
• Circle Applique Scarf, $29.99
• Calyptic Beret, $28.00

Stay warm and safe during your holiday trips! And of course, fashionable.

Secret Santa Fun

I know many of you are scurrying around buying your Christmas gifts for your family and friends. Just like last year, my group of seven friends and I decided to do Secret Santa. It's fun and also budget friendly (meaning you only have to get one gift instead of one for each). Since that doesn't mean we don't have to buy gifts for friends outside the group, we concluded that everyone's gift should be around $30-$40. So I've been working on my wishlist all day, and decided to share some of these chic, but cheap finds I would love to receive from my Secret Santa.

1) Studded Hem Dress, $24.80
This is a simple black dress which is always a great item to have in your closet. The best part about it, of course, are the gold studs that adorne the bottom. It gives this dress a unique spin, without making it too trendy or flashy.
2) Feather & Filigree Teardrop Earrings, $5.80
How perfect are these feather earrings? They're a great way to spice up a basic outfit. Plus the tourqoise teardrops give these earrings a great touch.
3) Kimchi Blue Printed Plaid Tunic, $29.99
This cute, plaid shirt definitely caught my eye, especially after I saw that it had been priced down from $48 to a reasonable $30. A perfect addition to my $40 and under wishlist!
4) Twist Lock Clutch, $19.80
Clutches are perfect for all the holiday parties. And I prefer this kind to the flashy, sequined clutches some people carry around. It's more subtle, and can be paired with a million outfits.
5) Leaf & Bead Necklace, $6.80
I need a new, long necklace and this caught my eye. It's fairly simple, with cute details, and is perfect for slipping it on to get that effortlessly chic looking.
6) Abstract Woven Scarf, $7.80
I can never get enough! And scarfs are perfect for adding to a wishlist that has a budget. They're fairly cheap and I like practically every design!
7) Fab Button Tab Fleece Coat, $22.50
For some reason, it feels extremely cold this winter in California. So I thought it would be practical to add this classic, navy coat to my wardrobe. Plus by itself it doesn't even add up to the minimum price limit meaning I could probably get an accessory with it too!
8) Clarissa Crochet Cardigan, $22.80
Although this probably isn't reasonable for super cold days, it's great for layering! And it will definitely make you look cozy.

Designer duds to covet

The upcoming break and the available time I'm going to have to go shopping is making me day dream about all the goodies I want to add to my closet during Thanksgiving weekend. It actually rained for the first time here since I've been at school. Not that I'm a huge fan of rain when I have to walk around dripping to all my classes, but it definitely signals the start of the cold, but cheerful holiday season. Even though it technically isn't even Thanksgiving yet, I'm already picturing my Christmas party outfits, presents under the decorated tree, and sharing delicious meals with family and friends.

Since the upcoming holidays are putting me in a cheerful mood, I thought to put together a wishlist of designer items I'm coveting. I'm already imagining what I'll pair up each piece with!

1) Kenneth Jay Lane Flower Cuff, $143.00
2) Juicy Couture Patent Driver Gloves, $125.00
3) Dolce Vita Leather Bomber Jacket, $495.00
4) Monrow Tuxedo Jacket, $295.00
5) Corso Como Metallic Floral Punched Flats, $140.00
6) Sergio Rossi Dody Knotted Platform Sandals, $650.00

1) Milly Flower Cap, $150.00
2) Kenneth Jay Lane Oval Ring, $77.00
3) Love Quotes Hand Knotted Fringe Scarf, $88.00
4) Juicy Couture Beaded Charm Stretch Bracelets, $68.00
5) LeSportsac Large Weekender, $98.00
6) Kenneth Jay Lane Leaf Cuff, $88.00

PS, I think I'm mentioning Thanksgiving in every single post I updated this week. I'm sorry! Can you tell I'm excited? I'm leaving for a long drive home tomorrow, but I will get the second part of the "Dress Like..." post up as soon as I get back. Stay warm!

New celebrity line and website

Apparently Mischa Barton has launched her own website, MischaBarton.com. Although she has been getting some digs for her past fashion mistakes, she has been a lot of people's favorite style icon for quite some time. So it's not a big surprise she has some of her own fashion lines.

Mischa has a section on her site labeled "fashion" featuring accessories from her new handbag and headband lines.

source: MischaBarton.com

Her handbag line is going to be available at Asos.com, and she has a few pictures of her ads for them up on her site. And for her headbands, she's working with designer Stacey Lapidu, and more pictures are also included.

So far I have to admit they're quite catching! Mischa currently only has those two posts up, but keep checking back since I'm sure she'll be updating frequently.

Mad for plaid (overused, I know)

I see plaid everywhere these days, and not just on shirts and jackets. I see them on handbags, scarfs, headbands, and even tights (who would have thunk?). And this trend comes in a multitude of color combinations, ranging from classic to trendy.

My plaid must-have is a shirt in a black and white or blue. I'm also looking into some scarfs in more unique colors such as this blue and pink one from Forever 21. If you really want to stand out, you can try some plaid tights like the ones Taylor Swift is wearing above. With her patterened scarf you'd think it would be too much, but it oddly works.

If you're like me and want to add an article of plaid clothing, shop around for some cute tops, jackets, and skirts that appeal to you. Plaid comes in so many colors and different patterns that it won't be hard to find one that you like. I like the sweater above since it's in neutral colors that balances out the heavy lines. Plus the shape of the top itself is very feminine. The same goes for the skirt. You don't want to buy bottoms in anything too colorful unless you're planning on only wearing it once or twice. Coats are another easy find. Many stores carry a variety of plaid jackets in different shapes and colors. So take your pick!

• Plaid Sweater, $18.99
• Silence & Noise Full Plaid Skirt, $58.00
• Wakefield Hooded Plaid Coat, $46.90
  

Plaid doesn't just appear on clothing anymore. You can find them on handbags, tights, and shoes. Finding the perfect kind may be a bit harder if you're looking for long wear. Go for simple colors if you want to continue using your item for a longer amount of time, like the tote bag above. And while plaid tights may not be for everyone, they usually don't go for more than $7 so don't be afraid to try them out if you feel you can work it. And for a touch of preppiness, go for plaid flats with a metal buckle.

• Tignanello Plaid Plus Tote, $59.25
• Plaid Tights, $5.80
• Plaid Buckle Flats, $10.00
  

Want something a little smaller than that? Don't worry you can get just that little pinch of plaid into your outfit with accessories such as head clips, headbands, and scarfs. Pick whatever you like. If you'd still like to keep it classic go for something like the Burberry inspired scarf. Or go bold and get a headband in a bright orange, which will stand out against your hair. Plus this is an easy to way to try out a trend without splurging.

• Plaid headband, $8.50
• Plaid Flower Hair Clip, $4.00
• Mossimo Plaid Woven Scarf, $12.99

I'm already staking my claim on a couple coats I found online. I can already imagine them in my closet...
