The Full Spectrum is a gorgeous clothing design I found a couple days ago while searching the web for this week’s fashion Friday awesomeness. Created right here in my own hometown by Sonya Evan’s it features a lovely collection of intriguing screen print designs that are truly unique and I must snatch some items up from her Etsy store ASAP.

Anyway I was so excited about her clothes I wrote about her for Examiner.com so check out my Salt Lake Budget Fashion article on her for the full story on The Full Spectrum!

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!

Spread the social media joy and tell your girlfriends to look, read, or watch 365 Day Girl and I’ll post more girly goodness for you!

First off let me say: Johnny “AwDaMaDDiX” is a “saint”! Thanks for commenting on my still crappy generic looking website! Love it! Any more saints out there? I <3 your web generosity!

Anyhoo. Yesterday was great fun and I had a blast at the Halloween Party I helped decorate at my friends coffee shop. Talked with a lot of fantastic looking people in costume and was really impressed by the staying power of the helium filled balloons I bought 24 hours earlier.

Today, and after a freshly de-cluttered vehicle and purse (fast talking video <a href=”http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CC5Z3rI-hwY”>here</a>) one of the MAJOR thoughts about this project occurred to me: answering 2 questions when blogging and sharing information in social media:

1)Deciding “What” To Talk About
and
2)Deciding “What NOT” To Talk About

Now…I can ramble on and on about all sorts of stuff cause I’m a chatty, curious, and imaginative gal. But unless you actually give a shit or it’s of any VALUE then it’s not really worth publishing and cluttering up the Web world with right.

Yeah. Always gotta keep that in mind with this thing.

The latter is of course much more of a challenge but makes what is actually talked about all the more powerful.

okay. deep thoughts. will talk more…and less later ;)

Today is going to be MASSIVE fun. And also some work of course. I got a wedding to attend in a very spooky building and the guests were explicitly told NOT to dress in costume-cause that would just distract from the beauty of the bride and groom. I’m down. That is noooo problem for me. So I’m going for a casual sort of gothic look-wearing a long black empire gown worn just under my boobs and just OVER a white t-shirt. Plus I’m accessorizing with an old time-y black pendant and black drippy earrings.

I would take a photo…but my camera is currently uploading video to youtube and thusly is a bit preoccupied. I’ll show photos in the Weekly recap though :)

Alright! The day awaits!
