Out of the Closet: 2018 Wardrobe Staples Revisited

June 29, 2018 by admin

While cute fashion trends are endless, our bank account, however, is not. You know how it is every season – you grab a magazine, you browse the latest styles, and you just about go crazy from creative joy as you see a bunch of stunning garments that you just know would look flawless on you. And then you check the small print underneath that has the price tag on it, get a minor heart attack, and realize that you are sadly not made of cash. Does this mean you don’t get to be fashionable? Hell no. A fashionista is not rich, a fashionista is creative, thrifty, and knows the worth of a good staple garment. With a few versatile pieces, a style-savvy gal can make magic happen, so if you want to know what you’ll need to make 2018 be your best fashion year yet, read on.

Denim jacket

Denim everything is really in right now! But while some pieces can be considered great staples, other things are very obviously going to last only one season and then be tossed away at the back of your closet. For example, denim crop tops, corsets, and tube tops might sound like a fun idea, but in reality, they’re impractical, hard to style, and can very easily come off as tacky. But denim jacket? That’s what you should invest in. You’ll be staying true to the jeans-material-is-everything, but you’ll also have something useful on your hands. You can wear it with pretty much anything – from maxi dresses to graphic tees and shorts combo. Pick a classic straight cut if you like it subtle, or maybe something with distressed denim details to give it a bit of an edge.

Sneakers for style and comfort

Athleisure is no longer just a trend, it’s a lifestyle. If Gigi Hadid and Kendall Jenner can make it their staples, so can we, and the very basis of good athleisure lies in sneakers. They’re comfy, they’re good for your feet and your posture, and they just so happen to be very fashionable right now as well. Whether you wear them with leggings, miniskirts, jeans, or baggy sweatpants, it’s up to you. They’re not limited to athleisure either – a sassy pair of kicks goes well with a cute dress, so don’t be afraid to experiment.

Timeless bags

What could possibly be more practical than a good bag? It’s the perfect accessory for any lady, and the latest women’s black bags are so perfectly elegant and sleek that they’re bound to make any outfit more stylish. Nothing like a cute little tote or a saddle bag made of leather to make you look sophisticated, or if you crave something more casual you could pick a backpack. Make sure that it’s black in color if you want to keep it versatile and trendy, and feel free to wear it with absolutely everything.

Bombshell pencil skirt

These curve-hugging garments are the ultimate sexy staple that somehow manages to be entirely professional at the same time. They look great when paired with simple button-down shirts if you need them for the office, but they’re actually quite a good idea for a date night as well. Wear a red silk blouse and a pair of heels and you’ll be achieving elegance with absolutely no effort. Don’t be afraid to pair them with graphic tees for an urban, street style look, or with a crop top and a cute clutch for a party night. If you want to make it even more interesting, pick a black leather pencil skirt.

Blazers for work

Pantsuits are still extremely popular this year, but you don’t have to invest in a whole suit if your budget doesn’t allow it. A good blazer is worth the money because it’s one of the easiest things to wear, and it’s absolutely priceless for office fashion. A plain white tee and jeans can be made professional with the help of a suit jacket, and having a few of these in versatile neutrals (black, navy, white) will mean you always have something to fall back on when you need to look polished.

Classic jeans

Straight-cut jeans are back! You don’t have to throw away your favorite pair of skinnies at all, but having old school, Levi’s cut jeans with a straight leg and maybe a tapered cut means owning something that’s never going to go out of style. This is truly a timeless staple that is impossible not to love, so if you love your denim, enjoy styling it in creative ways.

Make your own capsule wardrobe with these trendy-yet-practical items! You don’t have to spend a ton of cash to look good, you just need to mix and match good staple pieces and you’ll be surprised at how far it can take you.

Gift them Style Without Breaking the Bank

September 21, 2017 by admin

We all have that loved one that adores fashionable accessories, shoes, and outfits in ways that we may not understand. Many assume that in order to be fashionable that you have to shell out the big bucks. The reality is, with a keen eye and savvy sense of spending, you can find pieces that are affordable and stylish. This is especially true if you are wanting to give a stylish gift to your fashionable friend or loved one. Here are some ways that you can make your fashionable gift affordable.

Sunglasses and Accessories Never Go Out of Style

For the fashion-challenged, it can be a scary and daunting task to pick out an item for our savvy loved one. Never fear! We are here to hold your hand and explain how to get those accessories. Let’s say you want to get affordable designer glasses for women but every time you check out a pair of Gucci sunglasses, you want to scream. Firstly, stop looking at Gucci sunglasses. Yes they are beautiful and quite stylish, but we want to make this easy on you. Secondly, take note of your friend or loved ones sunglasses now. What shape are they? How tinted are they? Are they simple or bejeweled? Noting what they already like makes everything easier. Lastly, hit Google and look for those shades she is already wearing. Print up a picture and use that to do an online search or take it with you to the nearest thrift store.

The same can be said for any other accessory. Necklaces, earrings, and bracelets are easy to shop for once you have an idea of what they like. Many thrift stores and second hand shops carry some higher end items that may be out of season but are still fashionable and meet your loved one’s own style statement.

Designer Clothes with a Department Price

Many folks assume designer clothes means spending thousands of dollars. Not true! The savvy shopper can learn new ways of obtaining designer apparel and paying a significantly less amount. Of course the easiest option is to hit up all the local thrift stores and second hand shops. They are a hit or miss adventure so you have to be prepared for spending time and finding nothing. Another option are to choose to shop at outlet centers for those designers you love. Many of them sell items that are no longer in season or are considered out of fashion. As long as they fit your loved ones own personal style, that doesn’t really mean much. Another big option to hit the internet are online outlet stores and second hand websites. With sites like Overstock.com and ThredUp, you can easily find some items at drastically reduced prices.

It’s Not Just for Women

Unfortunately, designer clothes seem to be associated most with women and that is simply not the case. Many men take great pride in their own personal style and love to receive gifts that reflect that style. Whether it’s a fantastic designer watch or a special new tie, don’t forget the men in your life that want to exude a specific look and sense of grace. Just be sure that you make sure any thrift store or online discount website have fantastic options for him that you can bookmark for later, he will appreciate it!

Remember that style is defined by the person, not the clothes. The clothes and accessories are merely reflections of that style. Gifting something to your friend or loved one should certainly reflect what they routinely wear and would be astounded by. If you are unsure, take a moment and sit with them as they peruse a magazine to get a feel for the things that catch their eye. You will be glad you did!

For All Ladies in Love with Men’s Watches

March 15, 2017 by admin

A watch is an extension of your personality, a way of expressing yourself, including your quirks and idiosyncrasies. A lot of women are averse to stereotypically feminine watches that come with small dials, narrow straps and dainty aesthetics. Instead, they prefer sturdier timepieces that help them achieve the edge they’re looking for. Madonna, for example, has time and again expressed her love for men’s Longines watches. If you’re one of those ladies who loves blurring the so-called gender boundaries and feels inevitably drawn towards the men’s section at a watch store, then it’s worth looking at the watches we’ve curated for you. And who says you can’t have the best of both worlds? We’re sure adding a statement timepiece from men’s collection to your personal one is a decision you won’t regret!

You can check out an eclectic array of luxury watches at online retail outlets such as Ethos Boutiques. Making the right choice can be harder than you imagine! After all, investing in a luxury piece has to be a well thought-out process. We hope that this list ticks all the right boxes for you and helps you find your perfect man (in a watch).

The distinctive black dial and steel strap of this watch is certainly making us go weak at the knees.
