Thank You!!| The Last Day of July-t-ful Du Jour

Today is the last day of the July-t-ful Du Jour series so I wanted to take this opportunity to thank you for all your support and for over 100 followers!! I remember when I first started blogging, I  checked my page views everyday and would be estatic when 1 person accidentally stumbled upon my own little realm that I created for myself. 

MOM JEANS?!?!| July-t-ful Du Jour Day 14

 I have seen it more and more and I am sure you have too...we can't pretend it is not creeping its way out of the old dusty pile of fashion faux pas, that is not hauntingly cuter than it seemed when we were kids, the fact that we have to admit mom actually does know best. All the rumors, the fears, and gut wrenching admittance is true there is a new jean trend in town, one scarier than the rest, MOM JEANS (duhn, duhn, duhn)!!

When I did my last Top Pinterest Picks I chose my top 10 favorite hairstyles from my beauty pinterest board, so I am heading back to that board and choosing my top favorite makeup looks.

Who Wore It Better?| July-t-ful Du Jour Day 12

One of my favorite fashion related "games" is 'Who Wore it Better?' It is the perfect way to see each individual person's style. So I decided to search for some celebrities caught wearing the same outfits (Horrible, I know!) and am going to play my own game of 'Who Wore it Better' with you!

Ashley Green vs. Kim Kardashian 

I have to say I am going with Ashley on this one. Kim decided to go for the daring choice of wearing no slip underneath the see-through lace dress, although I appreciate the guts, I much rather prefer the more elegant and conservative look of the black slip underneath Ashley's dress. She didn't completely loose the sex appeal though she used its potential by letting her arms and bottom half of her legs to peek through. The pointed toe versus the stripy heel of Kim's yellow heels gives a more elongating effect to the midi dress. Although I am not a personal fan of Kim's shoes it is ok to wear it with her outfit because although the ankle length would make you look shorter with the slip without the slip you don't loose any height since you can still see her legs. 

Basebal Caps are Hitting it Out of the Park| July-t-ful Du Jour Day 11

Baseball caps seem to be making its way past the field and into the fashion world. More and more our feminine clothing is taking a more masculine route we know about boyfriend jeans, but here we are introducing baseball caps. The clue to rock them is to add it with a contrasting high end feminine outfit to accomplish the ultra glam look. All the inspiration that you'll need is in this post (ok maybe not all, but how much do you really need.) 

Everything You Need To Know When Styling Patterns| July-t-ful Du Jour Day 10

Sorry it has taken me so long to post this, but I have been driving for the past two days and at the moment I am in Montreal. The wifi in my other hotel wasn't working on my laptop, so I couldn't get a post up. But today I am going to post about pairing patterns with patterns. When I was little for Christmas I got a fashion magazine making kit. I remember one of the articles I wrote with markers and glitter was about how it would be a fashion disaster if you mix patterns. But now I know that you CAN mix patterns together, but keep in mind these simple if you follow these simple steps. Luckily I found a whole board dedicated to mixing patterns on Kelly R.'s pinterest board.
