How to wear the PLEATED LONG SKIRT

The trend o meter is up for the pleated midi and maxi skirt this summer.  Here are some cheap ( er) versions availible to buy online.

Both skirts are under $100 from ASOS.com

Styling Tips: The key to pulling off any outfit is confidence in what you’re wearing. Sometimes thats not so easy to come by as you may love the skirt but have many hesitations on what to wear with it. When wearing a long skirt with pleats or frills it best to keep the top very simple, such as a body hugging tee or a simple silk top ( you can show some shoulders or back too).

Even cheaper? This black long maxi skirt is on sale for $29.99 on macys.com Orig. $44.00

These days everyone wants to know how to wear a white blazer and where to buy the white blazer jacket online?

Halle Berry was recently seen in the menswear trend in this off white pants suit and Kate Moss was seen at a Mango event in all black and a white blazer.

One of my favorite places to get suit jackets and blazers online is Talbots. Yes, I know! But seriously they aren’t just for women of a certain age, and at least you can be sure that the quality matches the price. Many of the blazer are over $100, but under $200. Not bad for a working girl. If you’re in college you can find cheaper versions at Forever21 and Macys. Or buy vintage on Ebay.

Styling Tip: When choosing a white blazer jacket try to choose one that is a bit fitted to the body, it will instantly pull the outfit together to create a clean silhouette whether you’re wearing a pants suit, dress or denim.

I’ve found some cheap* look-a-like Chloe ankle leather boots in brown at Office shoes. These camel shoes are perfect for your you casual wear with jeans or even dress them up with a skirt and a nice handbag.

Buy them for only £ 38.00 UK = $62.00 U.S. dollars

What a better way to beat the Monday blues than with a cool sale on some shoes?

See what the Chloe boots look like here on Net a porter’s website, they also look like the Chloe Kimberly without the heels.

*inexpensive.

Want sexy nude heels like the Christian Louboutins Rihanna is always wearing, but don’t want to spend a fortune? Not all less expensive nude heels look cheap and you can buy many online that are actually made of leather and under $100.

Here I’ve done a bit of leg work and picked 5 of my favorite nude shoes under $50 You can’t beat that! More money left for the drinks on the girls night out, right?

1 - $24.80 on Forever21 – Simple and perfect to pair with jeans and a summer skirt.

2 - $48.30 on Macys.com -INC International Concepts Shoes, Babette Pumps, was $69.00

3 - $33.00 on lulus.com – These Bamboo Magarita Nude Patent Keyhole Platform Slingbacks remind me of these pair of Sergio Rossi. Very classy with a tiny peep hole.

4 – $44.83 on asos.com – ASOS POCKET Court Shoe in a different shade of nude called Dark Nude. I would rather this shade as I have a darker skin tone, and it would give the illusion of lengthen my legs.

5 – $39.50 on torrid.com – These System Nude Patent Leather heels come in a wide width , isn’t that great?

One of the Tumblrs I follow posted this gorgeous black and white photography of a black little boy riding a horse, in the middle of a city street.

I was in love with the shot.

Then found out that the photographer behind the lens was Vivian Maier, she lived her life alone and was a nanny for many years, never sharing her photographs with anyone until one day after her death a lucky young man bid on a box of olf photographs at a sale in Chicago and what he got in return was years of American life captured on film by someone with an amazing eye.

Here are some of my favorite. To see more go to her dedicated website here.
