Let's chat shoes

Hi everyone!

I know some of you might be thinking why is she going to write a whole post about shoes, don't they fall in the accessory category? For me personally, shoes are essential to an outfit. After reading some articles I found so many trendy ones for the spring time so I thought why not make an entire post dedicated to them?  The article that truly summed them all up was a Cosmo article, that I will leave right here for you; https://www.cosmopolitan.com/style-beauty/fashion/g23322585/spring-shoe-trends-2019/. This article included dozens of shoe styles.

White with everything




These shoes are a staple for the springtime. White sneakers go with any type of outfit; dress, shorts, or pants. It's important to always have a comfy shoe that goes with any type of outfit, and one that is trending massively right now are from the brand SUPERGA. This Italian brand is perfect because these shoes are not only comfortable and durable. They have sneakers with all different types of patterns, lace colors, and platforms. But these classic ones are a definite easy go-to for the springtime.


Animal print



In my research, I came across the animal print. This trend was very big during the early 2000s and have reappeared in waves. Last winter they made a firm comeback and especially in shoes. Printed shoes are an amazing way to be able to wear this trend, but in a moderate way especially if it's not in your typical style. The two animal prints that are persistently put in shoes are snakeskin and cheetah/leopard skin. Although these shoes are chunky pumps the animal print constantly varies throughout different shoe styles.


Strappy leather sandals 



A girly addition to my research! Strappy sandals make any outfit look girlier, and for the springtime. These shoes are always necessary since the weather is beginning to get warmer.



Chunky sneakers

Chunky sneakers! In my research, I realized how highly trendy these shoes are. Originally these shoes came from the FILA brand. The celebrities have been wearing the Balenciaga ones, but mainstream brand decided to imitate this style and put them at a lower price. These are the type of shoes that make your outfit, not complete it.

Let's chat about accessories

Hi everyone!

So today I have been thinking a lot about the accessories I want to make sure to include in the magazine. Accessories are SO important and can definitely make an outfit go from a 5 to a 10. After reading this article https://www.instyle.com/fashion/accessories/spring I was able to pick up on some trends that I had not picked up on yet and decided to share with you all which went the best with the outfits I am putting together.

Barrettes
This trend has got me thinking about how trends come and go and we don't even notice. I used to wear these clips when I was little and grew out of them before going into middle school because " they weren't cool anymore". Now they are one of the biggest trends and are being sold in stores for teenagers, and young women.




 Scarves

An accessory that I own a bunch of! This trend is going to be very easy to incorporate in the outifts I have in mind because I have so many already in my closet. The coolest thing about this accessory is that it's not limited to only wear it in your hair, instead, it could be paired around a bag or around the belt loop of pants. These scarves are so versatile since they are sold in so many different patterns.




Wooden/ basket bags

These are amazing! I was just able to purchase a similar one of these to incorporate it within one of the outifts I have in mind for the shoot! These scream springtime to me. I find it quite amazing how these are made by hand, and it just makes it that more special when wearing them. Not to mention they are definitely unique and add a laid back feel to any outfit.





Fun sunnies 

Fun sunglasses made a comeback a while back, and they don't seem like they are going anywhere. Which is why I want to include them in some of the outfits! The best part about sunglasses is how inexpensive they can be. These are all from a trendy store ' Urban Outfitters' and they are just $10 bucks!

Let's chat about the plan for this week

Hi everyone!


Last week I told you guys about my dilemma with the photo shoot, and how I was going to show you all the outifts I will be putting together this week! But a little change of plans! I will not be sharing with you the actual outfits until the final pictures of the photo shoot come out. I really want it to be a surprise, and I thought it would be more meaningful and useful to share with you my inspiration for the results. For now, I will be talking to you all about the trends I picked up on from my research and giving you a "sneak peek" of the pieces I will be utilizing when putting together my final outfits this week. I decided to do research on 3 categories; accessories, shoes, and main outfit garments. I will make certain to talk about the items I will be using for my outifts within these categories.
