Look I Love-- Mixed Prints!

My sister brought to my attention the popularity of mixing prints these past few months. The days are gone where you couldn't mix poka dots with floral or stripes people!! After browsing around online, its very apparent that mixed prints are for sure a look I love!!! It's just amazing to see what goes together when you think outside the box! There are so many great ways to mix prints. Lets review some of the best looks I have stumbled upon. Olivia Palmero is such a fantastic dresser. I mean, I didn't love how awful she was in MTV's The City (major throwback), but she sure does know her style. Olivia Style Here she is seen mixing polka dots and orange stripes!! She also is playing up the orange color and mixing it in nicely with the black. So amazing. I love it!! Miranda Kerr is seen here looking so easy breezy in small stripes with floral print pants. You all know how much I love floral prints ( corStyle ). It just seems like such a good idea to mix the...

Classics that Never Go out of Style- Purse Edition

I should start out by saying I have a weak spot for purses. I think the obsession started in 10th grade when my mother bought me this classic brown Coach purse ,  and ever since I have been hooked and some even close to me would even call obsessed. A good purse can compliment your outfit, it can also help to define the look you are going for. Are you an edgy gal with a loud bag? Are you a conservative woman with a nude purse?  Or are you an adventurous lady with a leopard print bag!? See, there are so many things your carry all can say about you! My obsession peaked to an all time high when I was in college. I had all this "money" leftover from my student loans one semester and I went crazy. Some might be thinking.. " Gosh Cor, isn't that money for you to live on and not have to work so hard at your waitressing job while you are in school??"-- Insert my mothers voice. Well, I had decided that I deserved to buy myself a Louis Vuitton! The Speedy Mono was my ba...

Trendy Thursdays- Floral Prints!!

Gorgeautiful In my opinion, floral prints have become more popular than usual this year. I have always loved this type of look because it is so feminine and elegant but the prints are so major right now that I am more obsessed than ever! I always think of the line from the Devil Wears Prada... Meryl Streep's character Miranda straight faced proclaims, "Florals, for Spring... Groundbreaking". I know this isn't a groundbreaking trend, but it is more popular than previous years in my opinion! Fashionisers You can dress up or down floral prints, you can wear it as separates or as a full dress. Here it is seen on the runways looking as elegant as ever. Brand: Blugirl You may have noticed that this seasons floral prints are more bold than ever before. Use this towards your advantage and really shine this summer. Do not be afraid to incorporate this trend into your look in whatever aspect you can think of. For a few weddings I am going to I will be...

Fit Friday-- Trends in Athletic Clothing

I love working out. In fact, I am obsessed with working out ever since I moved to a new place. My favorite new workout method is Barre . When I started going on a regular basis, besides noticing elongated muscles on myself, I also noticed that everyone dresses in the cutest workout attire. Maybe I hadn't noticed this because I had quit my gym membership years ago and had begun working out at home with the DVD method. My favorites being, Jillian Michaels and Ellen Barrett . Now, I haven't been living under a rock. I knew places such as Lulu Lemon exist, but I hated to think that yoga pants would be upwards of $70.00. After seeing all the cute outfits at Barre class, I decided to go to my nearest Forver 21 and see what clothes I could get for a sweet bargain. After seeing their amazing selection, I decided that buying workout clothes that are cute and flattering make me want to go to class! I know, I know.. crazy! But it works for me! Does this methodology work for anyone else...

Wedding Wednesday- Best Dresses to Wear to a Summer Wedding

Wedding season is upon us and if your like me, you have just started going to all the weddings of the season! My inspiration for this post came from  Elle Magazine . They did an amazing article on the best looks to wear to a wedding and it got me thinking about wanting to give my readers some tips and highlight a few looks for these special days. Weddings are a lot of fun to go to and you always want to look your best for when you are seeing your friends and family! Here are a few rules to get you started: 1) No cream or white-- Please do not be that one person all the others are giving dirty looks to because you wore an all white look to a wedding. I think having cream or white come through in your look in some way is totally great, especially in these summer months. However, just don't have your entire dress be white. I have seen this done before and its not well received. 2) Pay attention to what the invitation says the attire will be-- If the invitation says blac...

4th of July-- Patriotic Outfit Ideas!!

Readers! Independence Day is upon us. A time to to remember our independence as a nation but also, a time to celebrate the coming of Summer with good friends and family! This post concept was brought to my attention by a faithful reader who needed some ideas on what to wear for the occasion! My favorite girl, Katy Perry rocking what appears to be the most comfy patriotic outfit I have seen! How amazing that her stylist paired light pink bottoms with the traditional flag look on top! Maybe you can incorporate this pastel look for after the pool or what looks to be the perfect most cozy outfit for firework gazing! Photo Credit Style In Chic Miley Cyrus (who I don't always love), Alessandra Ambrosio and Ashley Tisdale are all rocking the same Wildfox Couture sweater. I love how Alessandra Ambrosa is pairing this the best with her amazing fedora (which is always in style). I think the others should have maybe allowed their shorts to show through a bit.. but hey thats just...
