Style Tips - Take it Easy

You know that dowdy-eyed, super sexy, elegantly nonchalant and proverbially chic girl you see around, maybe on the train, maybe on Newbury, even in your school café perhaps? Then you overhear her speak for the first time and her lips whisper some type of melodic foreign melody, a deep French accent, possibly. She is always dressed so stylishly simple yet seemingly impossible to imitate. You see, nonchalance is in right now but no one is ready for a bore. There is a very specific look that needs to be pulled off and the easiest way to transform a simply boring ensemble to a blasé yet chic composition is with the use of the all friendly blazer and doubtlessly, a pair of heels. A simple blazer that has been sitting in the back of your closet gifted from grandma will not due. Ergo, spend some time shopping for your best blazer that will add some sort of chic emphasis to your outfit and pair it with your favorite signature pumps. Granted, this pairing could even make a pair of sweatpants go unnoticed. While that may be an exaggeration, you could definitely pair it with a t-shirt and a pair of jeans, even harem pants and you will most certainly be noticed for your fashionable appeal.

Our Suggestion: This leather Helmut Lang jacket from ShopBop. While were not telling your to spend thousands, you get the point.

What To Buy When - Floral Mini-Dress

It has snowed already?! Welcome to New England, home of the friendly yet far too early flurries. It seems that we may be skipping fall this year, but our whether is actually too bipolar for that so expect some very warm days, some beautiful fall days, and some freezing snowy days. While it is difficult to dress accordingly there is one thing you should keep in your closet year round – a mini-dress. This season let’s defy the odds and go a step further and indulge in a floral mini-dress. We may be far out of bounds in terms of winter attire but do not let the weather dampen your joviality. A floral dress can be paired with your favorite tights and boots for those chilly days. Throw on a blazer for the full fall effect; just do not shove it to the back of your closet until summer. We may be over it by then anyhow.

Our Suggestion: This Love Yaya Waif Dress from ShopBop

What to Buy When - Statement Shoe

Now, we are all preparing for fall and returning back to that super dandy routine of class, work, study, and play and there are a few things you may want to come to terms with in your closet. One, make a nice trip to a goodwill and give them any wedged heel you may own. While you are at it you may want to toss out those pumps from last season with the wooden heels. Now that you have some space and potentially some extra money from proud parents or family members go ahead and get yourself a statement shoe. This shoe does not need to be over the top, but you want something comfortable, elegant, with a bold structure and some serious height.

Par exemple, this Dolce Vita black suede heel from our dear friends at 80's Purple.
