Day 5-- Lace

Lace.

Lace.Lace.Lace.

This trend has been around a while. And I love it!

What better way to balance off the leather than with some feminine lace.

Sure, it's not for everyone, but a little bit of lace can add a lot to an outfit. depending how you use it.

A vintage lace can add a bit of mystery. While some bright colours add a flirty flair.

For some awesome lace looks, you should check out Louis Vuittons collection, filled with lace masterpieces.
Like this.



Luckily i didn't have to shop past my own closet for amazing lace looks.
The result?
A feminine lace shirt paired with jeans and some statement bangles. It results in a very cute first day back outfit.

And anyone who isn't into looking super girly, check out these lace sneakers from pastrykicks.com, featured in seventeen magazine.



Pretty awesome.

Admit it.
Lace makes the world go round.

Day 1-- Leather

Hello world.

Today is Day one of my 3 week journey through fashion.

My mission, find my perfect style for the fall season.
The deadline, the first day back to school.

The trick? Everything is inspired by my trusted fashion magazines. Elle, Teen Vogue, Fashion, and Seventeen.

So today, I will be investigating a recent fad. The leather jacket.



Yeah, that's right, anyone who has been reading these magazines must have seen the excessive amount of leather jackets right?

It was number four in Elle's 'Hit List'.
Teen Vogue's "Urban Chic Must Have"
It just goes with the whole "femme fetal" thing that invaded the fall runway.

Luckily I like this look. So I put it to the test.
I went out and bought myself a new leather....well pleather, jacket, for $30 from Stitches.


And I must say, I am thoroughly in love with it!

Now, try to imagine a harsh black leather biker jacket placed with a hot pink bubble dress. Pull up the sleeves, add a few bangles, and you got one sexy outfit.

And with that in mind, I went out and bought new shoes to match.



My father described them as "Peter Pan with a Motorcycle".
Translation: I get to be eternally young AND I have a motorcycle.

How can you go wrong?

So for all of you afraid of going out in a leather jacket and a cocktail dress, remember the lesson of the day.

Leather is your friend.
