I recently just got a job! Finally! I didn't have one all summer but since I'm commuting to school this semester I thought it would be a good idea to get one. I don't want to say where I work but I will say it's a whalllleee of a time! This is what I wore to orientation. Since I don't own anything from the store (YET!) I wanted to wear something that looked like it was from the store so that's why I wore this! Now that I look at the store I'm pretty sure they don't sell black clothing which is fine for me but half my closet it filled with black clothing...#FashionDesignMajorProbs

Fall 2014 Fashion Trends!

           Fall is rapidly approaching and you know what that means...2014 fall fashion trends! My favorite season (well one of my favorite including Spring when my birthday is!) for new trends, cozy clothes, warm colors, and crisp weather. Que the cute pug jumping in the leaves!

~pic~

          See! He's happy about fall!! You should be too!! Just because it's back to school season doesn't mean it has to be completely awful! Just think about it...Fall means new clothes, new TV shows #cuddlebuddy, and hot Starbucks drinks! 

          I'm here to report all the new fall trends and my predictions/favorite fall looks for the upcoming season! As a fashion major a lot of my friends and family ask..."Lizz, what are the new fall trends?! What should I be wearing?!" well...I'm now going to direct them to this post because sometime I hate explaining things not gonna lie. Ok, sit back and relax! Here are the newest fall trends!

~pic~

       First things first colors! What are the newest fall colors to try out! My favorite from the list on Women's Wear Daily are Sangria, Aurora Red, Cypress, Royal Blue and Aluminum! Radiant Orchid is over used by now and in my opinion it's better as a spring/summer color. The reds and forest green colors are one's to watch out for!

~pic~

        Like this forest green rain jacket from Urban Outfitters!!! I need to find a new raincoat for London and this one seems to be my pick of choice. I know I wanted a forest green or yellow (Misted Yellow) rain jacket. I looked all day and found this one on UO that I actually liked and didn't break the bank (too much! $89 and $69 on sale) I'm telling you right here, right now you will not be able to find a cute raincoat for more than $100...it sucks...This coat is perfect for fall and won't get all awkward when your wearing an oversized sweater as well! I gotta have it! 

~pic~

        CAPES....YES...Capes! I believe we are going to see a lot more capes in the upcoming season as a new fashion trend. I, probably unlike a lot of people, love capes. I have one and love wearing it! But if I had one like this one in the picture I'd be wearing it everyday during fall! 

~pic~

Ahhhhhh...the flare jeans! Oh how I've missed these jeans soooo much! I haven't worn flare jeans probably since the 6th grade (college junior now) and I'm so excited people have started to wear them again. I've been looking even since the 6th grade for a pair of flare jeans and couldn't find them AT ALL until now. Next time you are at the mall go and pick up a pair of flares!

Next up a vest! My favorites are the ones from J. Crew but being a poor college student I'm on the hunt for one cheaper. Keeping up with the forest green color as well, the J.Crew quilted vest is a perfect piece for fall. When it's not too cool and not too warm a vest is the perfect jacket accessory! Also the boyfriend jeans included in the J.Crew themed set I made on Polyvore are another ah-mazing trend! Have you actually worn a pair of boyfriend jeans yet? If not I suggest you do! So comfy!!!

Oh.em.gee...can we throwback to Lizzie McGuire and the jean mini skirt for two seconds. Obsessed. This trend may be coming from left field but I think some people will be making a statement in jean skirts! Also the red sweater! Oversized of course. Perfect for cool days when you just don't feel like getting all dolled up!

       I am most definitely not done with fall fashion trends for 2014! But to keep this post not looking like a novel I'm going to stop here. You'll have to follow along to read more! Check out my BlogLovin to follow (I'll follow back just let me know you followed!), follow my Twitter! YouTube channel! And my new Instagram account! Remember my Instagram account is the same name but different account! Oh! and Pinterest if your a pin-head like me! 

       Let me know in the comments below your favorite upcoming fall trends!!!! 

TTYL!

Espically on designer clothes!!! I bought an $80 swimsuit from Ralph Lauren for $16!!! That's no deal...thats a steal!!! I also went to DKNY, went straight to the clearance that happened to be 75% off and bought two shirts for $15! Of course I had to go to J.Crew! 50% off the whole store!! The line was wrapped around the store!!! It took about $20 just to check out! But it was worth it! The last store I got something from was American Apparel! Once again 50% off the whole store!

LTF : Holiday Party Outfit Ideas!

Hey everyone!!! First off...Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays!!!! It goes by so fast I know! Feels like yesterday I was just finishing finals. Well a couple of days ago I filmed a Holiday Outfit Ideas video for YouTube and I wanted to explain the outfits!

For my first outfit I'm wearing a green blazer from Forever 21, black bejeweled shirt from Forever 21 and Hollister jeggings. For shoes I'm wearing black boots from Target. I took the traditional green color from Christmas in my blazer to bring this outfit from everyday to Christmas Day! This is my new favorite blazer! Because my blouse has a jeweled collar there is no need for a necklace. Just add a pair of earrings and some cute bracelets, your all set!

My second outfit is a formal family/work party outfit. I know I'll be wearing this for my family Christmas party! I bought this dress from H&M for $15! Love Christmas sales! Just saying! Make your Holiday bold with bold colors! Like this royal blue dress! I paired it with a black faux fur coat I bought from Target 2 years ago and black heels to from DSW that are the brand Connie. They are so old...I need a new (taller!) pair of black pumps...asap! Top it off with a Santa hat and your all ready to go!

For my last and final outfit I decided to try something casual. Not sticking to the "Christmas" "Holiday" colors I paired a pink Forever 21 sweater, a winter scarf from Forever 21, and Hollister super skinny jeans together. Simple and comfy for the busy holiday season. I added my monogramed necklace from an etsy shop and a J. Crew yellow bubble necklace to make this look not so casual. I'm also wearing my Ralph Lauren riding boots to dress this look up!

Well I hope this helps you get ideas for last minute Holiday outfits!!!
I hope everyone has a wonderful Christmas/Holiday and I'll write you later!
