Time To Be Flashy, Gold Diggers.

That's what he said...

We know you're trying to get that fresh tan for the weekend. Make sure you have the right gear to go with it. Everyone loves the hints of gold in your wardrobe that accentuate those golden cheekbones. Studio 54 clubbers, and Beyonce wanna-be's aren't the only ones who get to be flashy this season.

Rock the boat gold you little divas and hustlas' in the making.

In all seriousness though, gold really looks amazing on almost everyone! It makes you look expensive, and everyone should love to look expensive even if you're NOT!

(Note to reader: interpret this however you'd like, haha!)

Now White It Out, Now Chalk It Out.

White is major for summertime. Fill your closet with it! Go beyond a crisp plain white t-shirt and try something with an asymmetrical shape or with a zipper. You can also try wearing your white pieces together:

• White jeans, white top, colored blazer
• White bathing suit, white sandals, white watch
• White shorts, white cardigan, white sunglasses
• White dress, white shoes, lucite jewelry

Ladies, try incorporating white accessories with your white outfit. Skip the LBD and go for the LWD. Compliment your look with super trendi lucite jewelry... you'll get so many compliments!

Annalynne McCord knows how to white it out: matching  top and denim pants. This outfit is paired with a contrast tan blazer and heels.

SJP also spotted in white head to toe: off the shoulder athletic pullover and white jeggings. The perfect outfit to run errands or just lounge.

Hombres, go all out with white and make a statement. You too can wear white accessories, such as suspenders, headphones, and ankle socks.

Try a white v-neck and show off that tan chest of yours, or wear a sophisticated yet casual white cotton cardigan. Last but not least, its summer so get yourself a nice pair of white kicks... and of course, keep them clean.

LET YOUR HAIR DO ALL THE TALKING!

Have you ever realized that those who have curly hair wish they had straight hair, and those who have straight wish they had curls? We have a solution that doesn't involve damaging your hair! No perms, hair straightners, or curling irons involved. The reason you have any of those desires, is because your bored with how you're hair looks now.

Try a daring head piece that adds a different look to your style, from your everyday average hair-do. We feel your pain, and we want you to work with what you got.

Tata fashionistas!

UPDATE YOUR FLORALS.

Beautiful summer days and nights call for pretty little things.


Florals have been so major... and we still love them! 


Be creative with this trend. Unless you're in West Palm Beach, there's no need to be matchy matchy with a single print or color scheme . Try mix and matching flowery prints with stripes to create a funky look. Or wear cropped tops to make a cute outfit look sexy. You can make your prettiest dress look bad with chunky bangles, or even tone it down with a pair of high top sneakers. We also love pearls over a loose t-shirt with denim shorts (it's a good idea to have a cheap faux set).

Hat $48 urbanoutfitters.com, dress $50 topshop.com, rings $8.80 missselfridge.com, striped top $24 topshop.com, necklace $30 topshop.com, overalls $27.90 forever21.com , floral top $50 topshop.com, shorts $16 forever21,com, faux pearl bracelets $8.50 oldnavy.com, Jeffrey Campbell pink suede flats $96 lorisshoes.com, Bensimon sneakers $71 gravitypope.com, Daisy Perfume by Marc Jacobs, crossbody/clutch $50 topshop.com

FAVORITE FASHIONISTAS ALERT! SJP & VB

Sarah Jessica Parker and Victoria Beckham are huge fashion icons in this moment. These women always seize to amaze us with their dramatic  and memorable looks. With what appears to be a keen fashion sense, their style makes us all go "Wowsies".



This Sex and The City chick keeps her wardrobe fashion-forward, even when she's off set. Look at how mind blowing she is with her hot pink Diane De Maria 'Bonnie' bag. 


This accessory is meant to be worn with a more subtle outfit. As you can see, Sarah Jessica Parker shows us how we can wear a fun bold piece. With jeans, a plain tee, a blazer and a low heel, SJP makes this look extremely chic and classy. The simplicity of a casual denim look, is transformed into a trendi effortless look. Try this look when going out with your girlfriends for dinner... don't of course order a Cosmo to go with it.

***

Once Spice Girl, now a fashion goddess - Victoria Beckham, has also incorporated a bold color bag into her look. Beckham is wearing this Hermes bag with a pair of sexy pink heels in the same color family (not too matchy matchy), a black wrap dress and sunglasses.  Could this be a new handbag color trend? VB's outfit is once again simple. The idea is, that when you this hot pink piece is to be worn with neutral colors (black, white, grey, nude). This is an alternative for when you want the outfit to be sexy rather than modest, the way SJP has done. Also, notice Beckham's dress is not skin tight and just above knee, along with higher heels than SJP, to complement this sexy look.. 

***

A tip to remember: It's always good to shop and find things at inexpensive prices, but certain pieces (like a collectors item) especially shoes and handbags which tend to be more expensive, should be your splurges.
