Top 10 most wearable fashion trends of spring 2012

Ello everyone! today I am just going to do a short and sweet post on spring/summer fashion trends with lots of pictures so you can keep up and look fashionable this summer!!! hope you enjoy!

1. Color blocking.
This is one of my personal favorites! For those of you who do not know color blocking is fairly simple its just taking bright colored jackets, shirts, dresses, pants skirts and acc. along with anything else you can find and pairing then together with no blending, ombre, or patterns Like so:

2. Neons!
Hello 80's! I am a HUGE fan of 80's fashion, pretty much since 2010 neons have been coming back in style along with other 80's trends like lots of layers, big bows, and 80's style sunglasses and here are some cute finds:

3. 1950's style Peplum skirts/dresses
A peplum skirt is pretty much just a pencil skirt with an "extension" on the mid waist that pokes out a bit, can't really figure out how to explain it so just look!

4. REALLY bold prints! and pairing more than 1 together
Oh ya... Im not the biggest fan of this one myself but maybe you are? This one is pretty simple its pretty much just super bold prints and wearing more than one together this is includeingg wearing a bold print jacket, shorts and shoes all together. Iv'e noticed that especially floral print denim shorts and jeans are pretty popular and the most wearable (find these at forever 21) personally I think its just a bit much but feel free to try it!

I'm not  quite sure why but for some reason these colors seem to be very "in" right now I actually useally don't like orange but I like some of these

7. Maxi dresses and skirts
I love maxi dresses they are so comfortable and cute! They also keep you cool in the summer! you can buy maxi dresses/skirts in all sorts of patters my personal favorites are the ombre or tie dyed ones! Plus they are actually pretty flattering especially the ones that wrap around you in the middle like the one below

8. High-low dresses and skirts
Im not going to lie these dresses remind me of mullets business in the front party in the back! Fairly simple these kind of skirts are shorter in the front and get longer in the back and are really flowy

Blog challenge day 2 HOW TO: Up cycled-recycled tee shirts!

up cycled tee shirt's

Ok first thing you are going to need is some tee shirts!
these are some cool shirt's i that i got  from goodwill for about $1.50 each: 



   Here is the NEW YORK shirt that I made into this:








this is how:


First lay your tee shirt out FLAT. make sure its not wadded up anywhere or anything!




start out by cutting of the sleeve's and the collar of the tee right at the seams like so


then we are going to flip the shirt over and lay it out flat again and mark the shirt (with a white charcoal pencil) mark a six inch band at the bottom of your shirt and two lines from the top left side of the neckline and the top right side of the neckline all the way down to the top of the 6" band at the bottom of the shirt like this:




then CAREFULLY cut (only the back layer of the shirt not the front) the line from the top right side of the neckline all the way down to the white line marking the 6" band at the bottom of the shirt do the same with the left side so you end up with a rectangle shape out of the back of your tee






make sure not to cut into the 6" band at the bottom


then cut from the bottom of the "arm pit seam" all the way down the side seam to the top of that white line marking the 6" band at the bottom again NOT cutting into the band so you end up with something like this:





then take the "sleeve looking things" at the top of your shirt and cut 3 to 6 strips down the "sleeve" not cutting them completely of the shirt like so:






so they are still attached


then if you had the shirt on the front side we are going to flip it over AGAIN and place the "strings" about an inch away from each other on the OPPOSITE side of the shirt like this 


             if you can see that :)


     then get a sewing needle and thread the color of your shirt


 thread your needle and start sewing the end of the strings right where you placed them (optional) weaving them in the the middle where the strings from the different sides meet in the middle
 viola your done! and you can either wear it with a colorful tube top or if like me that's not aloud a colorful tank top or Cami under it!







SNEEK PEEK: at my purple Haze shirt!
