Daring Denim

06.23.09 

Tired of wearing the same old jeans you wear all year long? The newest look in denim is to make it look like you never take it off. Distressed denim is making its way back into the fashion lifestyles of actresses, women and girls across the country. If you're not feeling quite as daring, a few frayed holes in the legs of your jeans will keep you with the times. Or if you're feeling risky, try denim that is shredded up the front of the legs. You can even make these looks at home, but you'll probably need help from an adult because it involves bleach. To lighten an old pair of shorts or jeans, put them in a bucket of water & add 1-2 cups of bleach. Let the denim sit until the denim is as light as you desire. This could be a few hours or a few days. Then wash out the bleach, but make sure to not get it on any other clothes!!! You can create holes by sanding them or cutting them with scissors. The next time you wash the clothing, the holes will fray. Have fun with this look because it's perfect for Summer with tanks & bathing suits!

Headband Heaven

Just when you think your day is ruined because of a bad hair day, think again! This Spring's fun trend of oversized headbands is here to play super hero to your unruly locks. All you have to do is slip on one of these hip headbands to look polished, make a statement, get noticed AND do it all on the cheap! Now, that's my kind of accessory. You can even take scarves you already own, fold them and tie them at the nape of your neck to create your own headband. If you're really feeling like bringing out your inner Blair Waldorf, don the ones that have flowers, bows and feathers attached. Fashion should be fun and daring! Or if you're feeling really crafty this summer, get your hands on a glue gun, buy a pack of inexpensive plastic headbands, find some fake flowers or knick-knacks and make your own, unique headband. With your new look, get ready to turn heads!

Mellow Yellow

 If you wanna be the hottest thing on the Summertime block, you need to get down with the yellow. This is THE color that you want to brighten your wardrobe this Spring & Summer. You can't help but feel happy while wearing yellow. All shades of yellow will be rockin' this season. If you're pale, a light yellow will look best with your skin tone. if you have a medium skin tone, darker shades of yellow look better. Go for bright yellow to stand out if you have very dark OR very pale skin. Wearing yellow will make you feel like walking sunshine! Or a big piece of lemony candy! If you're a little sunshiny shy, stick to accessories, or yellow accented clothes.
