While Katina has been scouting leopard prints, JMU has been sporting cheetah & leopard madness. From headbands to skirts, cheetah & leopard is making its mark in the style scene. I personally find it classy when used as an accessory- whether shoes or a purse, instead of the focus of the outfit. With a hint of cheetah and/or leopard, it highlights versus overpower your look; this technique adds a flirty flare versus scare! Take a peek and tell me what you think!

Tre Chic by Fronz

Oh girls, so I find my guilty pleasure in fantastic, dramatic sequened tights! Classy and so sassy, JMU has been stepping into style with this chic fashion. I, myself, even own these goddess-isc tights with a strip of hot pink jetting through the black design. They are great with skirts and dresses BUT careful- they can turn classy (small, sequened and consistent pair of tights with a solid colored skirt and business attire flats, heels or boots) to trashy (high skirt, chunky shoes, gapping fishnet holes) quickly! Buen provecho, A

Free Falling By Fronz
The smell of fall...fallin leaves and apple cider. But what about the look of fall? I can answer that! Grandpa sweaters aka oversized sweaters you can wear over leggings. They are comfy and cozy and such a classy fall look. Try layering them with scarves and other sweaters and coats!

Wayfarer Class by fronz featuring oversized wayfarer sunglasses

So it has been a sunny week at JMU and the buzz around campus has been..wayfarer-style sunglasses. The classic 1950s iconic look sparked by fashion and legend Audrey Hepburn. My personal obsession with wayfarers was back in May in my excursion through Italy and Austria! Literally, my wayfarers were my number one accessory and my facebook albums can testify! Check out this trend and don't be afraid to join the bandwagon of chic and class!

Chunky gold and bling! My absolute favorite fashion statement that marries the old with the new. I suggest you dress up a simple outfit with these vintage classics and grab a pair of Audrey Hepburn shades and some breakfast at Tiffany's! Besos y Buen Provecho, A

 OO LA LA !! You know that one accessory that is your go to? That one item that you always know you can style with every outfit? The icing on the cake every time you go out? Well for me, those are my scarves. Not just my cozy winter ones that I bury my face into on my way to class, but the light, breezy ones that you can still wear right before fall officially hits the ‘burg (even though the weather has been quite temperamental lately-hmmm…) . So this past week I have been trendspotting and found some trendy looks- check them out! And if you haven’t started your own collection, I recommend the addiction and start soon! Besos y Buen Provecho, A

Bye, bye birdie

So it started with Steve Tyler on America's Got Talent and evolved into a hair phenomenon. You've guessed it: feather extensions. from neons to more natural colors, these fierce strands . are not only in season, but they're easy, low maintenance accessories. Literally, style your hair any way you want (wash it, crimp it, straigten it) and they withstand the test. So out with the hair dye and in with the extensions! Check them out and let me know what colors and styles you like the most!

Howdy partner! Okay, so as you may have noticed in my past blogs, I love, simply love covering trends on all flavors of shoes. I myself have stocks of shoes stored in every type of organizer possibly available to shoe-fetish connoisseurs like myself. So of course it is only appropriate to hit up the trend on cowboy boots! Wear them with jeans, shorts, skirts and dresses, these leather goods are great fun and make an entrance with any look. Even check them out at the Yellow Button, Target and Belk while we’re still in the 'burg.
