Trendy Thursday: Cropped

The cropped top is a very daring fashion statement. It shows that you 1. have a great bod, and 2. have confidence in yourself. Plus it gives you the appearance of mile-long legs, which never hurts! These celebs have rocked the runway in cropped tops and have matched them with flowing skirts.

LBD

Every girl should own a LBD, little black dress.

Period.

And here is yet another quick history lesson:
In 1926, the famous Coco Chanel published her drawing of the first little black dress in Vogue. It was a simple, black, tea-length dress - a classic dress that soon became famous. Soon after and through the Great Depression, the LBD showed elegance that was affordable in that time. Since Chanel's dress was published, it has evolved through time and changed with the trends that came along.

Little black dresses are a staple in every girl's closet and also on the red carpet. Here are some celebs rocking their LBD.

Love or Loathe?

Leather.

 

It is everywhere. Skirts, dresses, and sofas, of course. However, it can be incredibly hard to pull off But lately I have grown to love it! The leather look has an edginess to it, like in Kylie Jenner and Lauren Conrad. However, it can also be flirty and feminine like Kristin Cavallari with a simple white shirt and pink leather.

 

 

 So...tell me:

 

Do you love or loathe leather?

 

Happy Monday, lovebugs!

Trendy Thursday: Jump into a Jumpsuit

The jumpsuit is an iconic style that has been seen numerous times. From a jail cell to a concert the jumpsuit has had many appearances in its time.

Really quick history lesson -- The jumpsuit originally appeared in the 1960s, but really became popular in the groovy 80s where many celebrities wore them performing on stage. Celebrities like Britney Spears, Mick Jagger, Elvis Presley, and the Spice Girls have sported this trend back in the day. Outside of the fashion world, jumpsuits are used by mechanics, skydivers, pilots and skiers. They are also known for being worn by inmates in that not-so-fabulous orange. And today they are popping up everywhere by popular stars.

Enough with the history lesson, here are a few stars who have dared to wear this fun trend!

 

Naomi Watts   Alessandra Ambrósio   Lea Michele   Kourtney Kardashian

 

I think my favorite might be Alessandra's because of that fab color combo, plus it is super casual for a day of shopping or running around town. Which is your favorite?

Trendy Thursday: To The Maxi

Do ya love the new header? Well, expect some new exciting changes to the blog's look, I'm trying to finalize The Capricorn Notebook's perfect look!

Anyways, it's Trendy Thursday and today is all about maxi dresses and skirts. I would love to talk about the black and white trend that is still uber hot, but I have already covered that. So another trend that I am dying to try is the maxi trend. Even though we all love fun, short little dresses, we can mix it up with a casual, long, flowy skirt/dress. It is perfect for those long, hot summer days when you just need to throw something over a bikini, or even just for going out. I love the ease of this trend and a simple tank goes perfectly over a patterned skirt.

Here are some celebs showing off this trend and also a few skirts (with links below) that you can buy today to satisfy your maxi skirt need!

Rachel Zoe   Jessica Alba   Miranda Kerr

How easy do these outfits look? Simple right? I love that!

Which is your favorite? I'm lovin' the pink with the sheer overlay. I love how even lighter and airier it the sheer adds to it.



Have you tried the maxi dress/skirt trend yet? Do you love or loathe it?

Happy trendy Thursday to you!

Trendy Thursday: Summer Bangs

Something you can look forward seeing to in my notebook is Trendy Thursday! Basically it is just hot and new trends that have been seen on celebrities or runways. Today's focus is... bangs!

At one time or another, we all have had them. Sometimes good, other times bad. But bangs are a new relived trend that is seen everywhere this summer. Many celebrities including Kourtney Kardashian, Jessica Alba, and January Jones have been spotted sporting this simple, but trendy, 'do.

 

 

Funny how Kourtney and January are matching with striped tees and red lips!



Even first lady, Michelle Obama, sported bangs for a short time. 

This is definitly a look to consider if you are looking to change up your locks. As a bonus, you will be right on trend for this summer!

Is this something you are considering to rock this summer??


Happy Thursday!
