Before we get into how to create signature style – let me give you some food for thought and ask the question: “What is Style?”

Which begs another question: “What is Fashion?”

And: “Is there a difference between Style and Fashion?”

I certainly think so – but first, I’d love to hear your thoughts :)

So answer by commenting below – also feel free to tweet me about it too!

Shop Style is a really fun site for fashion and beauty. This is a look I created after browsing through real world magazine Marie Claire based on the early spring trend of mixing structured military styles with whimsically feminine tulle and sheers.

If you love the idea of this look you can check out online retailers through shopstyle. Or you can check out your local vintage boutiques ;) Look for:

• a fitted military jacket
• a midlength to short tulle or mesh skirt
• in light spring neutrals and pastels: beiges, cream, sage, dusty pink

Then dress yourself up for a look that is sweet and tough!

Where would you wear this? It’s a great daytime look that would be just lovely for a date on the weekend, but would definitely hold it’s own at the office. Just be conscious of skirt length.

Happy Fashion Friday!

Fashion obsessed girls, I have a question for you:
Do you dress fashion forward or do you dress feminine?
What’s the difference you ask?
Well one is more for yourself and to impress other women (Fashion Forward) and the other is dressing more to attract men (Feminine). So I suppose the real question girls is: Do you dress for men or do you dress for women?. Here’s another breakdown for you:

Fashion Forward is:
*dynamic
*bold
*cutting edge
*androgynous
*sexy in a high fashion model way ala “my cheekbones and clavicle bones can slice you in two!”
Think: Mary Kate Olsen (you know with her slouchy coolness and morbid hotness)

Feminine is of course:
*body hugging
*form fitting
*flirty
*pretty or cute
*sexy in a playboy bunny way ala “here’s my boobs, betcha wanna play with em!”
Think: Kim Kardashian (ever noticed that girls ass? it’s devestating! I’m sure it’s given J-Lo a marathon run for her money!)

Personally I veer slightly more towards men because I enjoy flirty with them and accentuating my femininity. But I also have a very strong creative streak that allows me to get all creative and experimental.

I promised to post links from my video so here they are for you girls!
