What's Trending Now? Colored Jeans for Men

With Father's day right around the corner, I figured it was only right to show the men "some love" this week, with a few men centered post!


We all know colored jeans are a trend right now, that fact has been beaten into our heads almost to nauseam at this point (at least for me). I personally choose to refrain from the colored jeans myself (for personal reasons, if your interested in hearing why feel free to comment and ask me lol). 


However a slightly more interesting twist on the trend is the offering of colored jeans for men.

I personally like this look on guys, as long as it is paired with a neutral top and more toned down accessories.

I especially like the more bleached out colors, such as the pair pictured below. 

Comment below and let me know if this is a trend you like to see on guys, and guys , let me know if this is a trend you're wearing!!

3 Ways to Dress up a Simple Tank and Jeans

A white tank and well fitting jeans are a summer classic. This combo tends to pop up from time to time in almost everyone's wardrobe, from the fashionista in the city to the mom in "burbs."  Just because this look is a staple, doesn't mean it has to be stale. Keep reading to find three ways to dress up this look and make it fresh!

1. Statement Necklace:
 The statement necklace is my personal favorite way to dress up a simple tank and jeans. This season collar necklaces are everywhere, and go great with a lower cut tank. Another option is a long chain with a beautiful pedant. I love the contrast created by the long chain necklace against the stark white tank. 

2. Statement Shoes:
Jewelry not your thing? Or maybe you just want to take your look to new "heights."

pairing your jeans and tank with some killer heels is a sure fired way to up the look of your outfit instantly.    

3. Statement Makeup:

One of the best things about wearing a simple tank and jeans is that it allows your face to be the focal point. Since your outfit is not over the top, you get a free pass to indulge your self with a little extra makeup. Feel free to try a bold lip, or maybe even a smokey eye in the day time. Both are a great way to still feel "dressed up" without having to actually get "dressed up.

Sequin and Shorts

Who say's just because it's hot outside you have to sacrifice style? This summer keep cool in shorts but pair it with sequins to add a little sass.

Current Crush

This week I have been crushing on these fun T-Strap Thong Sandals from Forever 21. They are great because they are slightly more dressed up than just a regular flip flop but are still comfy and easy to slide into. I also love how they come in so many different colors! I can definitely see myself living in these shoes this summer!

Fringe Benefits

So now that Coachella is over, what are you going to do with all of those headbands, cut off shorts, and fringe accessories you purchased for the big event? Well the first thing your going to do is burn the headbands, it's better this way...trust me on this ;). Luckily your shorts and fringed-out apparel can still be rocked in your everyday non "hipster meets hippy meets disgruntled youth life" lol. 

For inspiration on strutting your self like a boss in high rise shorts, click here or here! (It's safe to say they are an addiction of mine...but hey, first step is admittance right?


As far as the fringe goes, this might take a little more finesse... check out the rest of the post to see how I break this trend down !


Look One: Fringed Bags

So you decided to tip toe your foot into the water before jumping in, (well played young grasshopper, well played). You opted to purchase an adorable fringed purse or maybe even a stylish backpack, and if it's in a neutral color even better! 






Look Two: Fringed Shirts

We saw this trend reemerge last spring, and its back again! This is great for those of us who love the midriff look, but may or may not have a totally flat mid-section like we promised in the blood oath to ourselves in our New Year resolutions. (My "Insanity Workout DVD has a layer of dust collecting on it as we speak). I love this because it allows you to show a little skin and still feel sexy; without showing too much and feeling self-conscious.



Look Three: Fringed Vests

Someone is undoubtedly thinking that Look Three could have easily been combined with Look Two...and that someone is wrong...it's ok, I'm sure that someone wasn't you. The fringe vest is deceiving because it seems like since it's an accessory it can easily be tossed on with little to no second thought. In reality the fringe vest is the "full mounty," it's the one out of the three looks that if not played right can totally look like your auditioning for a role in "WoodStock the Movie" or even worse, like you're having a "Legally Blonde Moment" and showed up to a regular event wearing a costume.

Now that I've shared my tips on rocking the fringe look, comment below and let me know your tips for pulling this look off!

Weekend Getaway: Miami Nights

Only in Miami are the woman beautiful, the men gorgeous, and the colors BRIGHT. Give yourself a well deserved break and whisk away for the weekend to Miami. Get some sun at the beach during the day then get into a little fun at the clubs at night!

I myself have a few stories I could tell from my time on South Beach..but this is a family friendly blog and besides, what happens in Miami needs to stay and die in Miami... I will however leave you with two pieces of advice: 1. If a hotel seems to good to be true for the price and location, it is to good to be true. Spend a few extra dollars to get a room sans the sketch noises and suspicious looking stains. 2. Day time calls for at least one visit to "Fat Tuesdays" on South Beach, no explanation needed ;-)
