So Much to Tell You!

    So much has been happing in these past weeks, which is why I have not been blogging. I am getting back to my regular schedule though, and I am so pumped for the coming weeks! I have some great opportunities, such as being featured in an INCREDIBLE new book (I will post the name when I get it) that will come out in the beginning of June. It is all about the city of Ann Arbor, Michigan, where I live and go to school. It will be an "encyclopedia" (for lack of better words) all about the things that make Ann Arbor interesting as well as any secrets it holds. I will be writing a couple of articles on Fashion in Ann Arbor, as well as promoting my blog.

    I will also be starting a Tumblr page for smaller things, photos and such, as well as a Facebook page for some of these posts and Ann Arbor fashion as a whole, so check it out if you enjoy what you see in the book!

    As for the next couple of posts I'm going to try to pick up where I left off. I'm gonna start with the Fall Photo Shoot (so sorry it's late!), then some fashion from my Chicago trip, then a couple more outfits, some select pieces, and then a dress that will blow your mind! SO, in the end, thank you all for reading these posts! Hopefully you are able to take something from them and be able to enrich that fashion side of you!

Check it Out!

    Hey guys! So I know I haven't posted in a while and I feel really bad about that. Expect the fall "Lookbook" to be coming this Friday/Saturday, but for now I thought I would share this great clothing website with you.

    Modcloth.com is one of the best online clothing stores' I have ever had the pleasure of shopping at! I especially enjoy it because of the style they focus on, which is "Cute, Vintage-Style, Retro Indie Clothing". Seriously check it out if you enjoy this blog. I understand it is a little more expensive than what I usually advise,but in the end it is totally worth it!

This cute shirt is one of many that Modcloth has to offer! I
like it because of its more mature side, which is what
I have grown to like in clothing. Check out their large
selection of bags, shoes, pants, and my favorite, dresses!

Sorry that I haven't posted anything this week, but be sure to check out my Fall Idea Photo Shoot coming soon!

The Shirt for You!

    Do you like to express yourself through clothes? Do you like graphic tees? Are you weird like me and like cool fonts on shirts? Then you should check out these really, super cool tees at Old Navy! I feel deeply in love with them, and was sad I could only walk away with two of these perfect little shirts!

Pair your tee with skinny jeans, Uggs,
and flannel for a comfortable look!
Add some color to your outfit with statement necklace as well.
Shirt: $10 (on Sale), Old Navy; Flannel(post coming soon!): $22, Target;
Jeans: $50, Pitaya; Necklace: $25, Topshop

    Whenever in doubt, always go to Old Navy for really great graphic shirts. They are super creative, not to mention pretty, and can go with practically anything! They are the best way to show off your personality in a stylish way. Statement shirts are extremely great because they give everyone around you a "sneak peek" to your personality, and who knows, maybe some hottie will have a connection to it!

Provide the world a little glimpse of yourself with shirts that you relate
to! I brought back a $14 "I (heart) NY" tee from my trip to Manhattan,
but it is not as chic as this graphic! When I saw this I knew I had to buy it because
it reminded me of the city I miss so much!
Shirt: $10 (sale, normally $14), Old Navy

Must SEE!

    I know that this is a fashion blog, but a lot of fashion has to do with the confidence you possess to wear something daring! So I want to share this blog post with all of you to boost your confidence and make you feel comfortable with YOU!

Must Have for This Fall!

Keep this style classy by wearing white patternedcollar and a denim skirt!

   I just recently realized how awesome and cute this look is, even though it isn't new. Pairing any sweater with a stand-out, collared shirt is both comfortable and chic! It's a perfect fall combination that will catch anyone's eye and is super simple.

Go BOLD! Bring attention to your sweater by having a brightcolored collar and grey skinny jeans! 
Jeans, $19, Uni Qlo; Sweater, $10, Old Navy; Collar Shirt, $10,
Forever 21; Bag, $24, TJ Maxx

    Keep everything else simple, the statement piece is the collared sweater. This type of style looks best with jeans, but can be worn with a skirt, just do what feels best! Keep jewelry simple as well and make sure that the sweater does not have bright colors that could clash with the collar so that you aren't too bright.

    Always make sure to keep the style "you" and have fun with it! You'll be turning heads down the halls in no time!

Sweater: Old Navy, Forever 21, JC Penney, Macy's, GAP.
Collared Shirt: Forever 21, Target, JC Penney, Pac Sun, Macy's.

    I know I always give you guys clothing at lower prices (or I try to), but today I just feel the need to share this with you! I found this article in Teen Vogue about Ferragamo Flats. If you don't know, Ferragamo is a more well known designer that has some really cool items! I like the shoes personally, but some say I'm a "shoe enthusiast" so I guess I live up to my name!

    Anyways, this is possibly one of the coolest and most heart-renching thing I have ever seen! The shoes are expensive, but it's almost worth it to customize your own shoes! I really like it and please check it out even if you can't get them, it's still fun.

Make- A- Necklace!

    One thing I love to do is go to a jewelers and create the perfect necklace! It's not super expensive and you get exactly what you want!

I like to have things that are represent my goals, for example, wanting to go
to Paris and New York. I added my lucky penny and a small camera charm
to make it even more personal!
$15, PARIS NEW YORK;South Haven Art Fair, Michigan; $1 charm; $2 penny holder 

    Try to make your necklace say something about you, not just little charms that look pretty. It's a statement piece and conversation topic when you where something that really means something to you. What I like to do is go to antique shops and find cool keys or charms, something that looks really cool and isn't something that you would find at Claire's or another brand name accessory store. You will get so many compliments on your necklace because it is so unique and YOU!

  

This was just a small necklace that my friend and I made before she moved. Add an
old key from an antique shop and a ring from Bookmarc by Marc Jacobs
(Because your like me and can't afford anything else by him) and your set!

    So this is new to me, but I really want to try to widen my audience so guys, I have some style tips!
I, once again, am going to bring out key parts from an outfit that my friend wore today. He's more of the 'skater-boy" type, but he has some definite fashion sense!

Keep things simple and change it up! keep things fresh but have a
signature feature, like a hat or necklace to make it you!

    First of all, NO SAGGING! We (women) don't think it's attractive, and yes this is fairly biased to my personal opinion, but I rather not see what color of boxers your wearing that day.

    Fist of all the shirt is really great! I love graphic tee's, for myself and on others. They're great conversational pieces that can tell a lot about your personality. Plus, they draw people (ladies) in and you'll receive a lot of compliments. Button-down, collared shirts are also attractive and can be a great alternative to the graphic tee. Just don't over load on patterns or colors. Remember, their is a tradeoff. You dull down the shirt for the shorts and vise-versa! But, of course, add your own flare to this outline and do what your comfortable with!

    Personally, I really like cargo pants and the pants seen in the photo. I enjoy guys that are casual-classy, borderline preppy, which has become more popular. Guys that wear that type of clothing give off this sense of "I care about my style to a point." Colored shorts are stylish, but once again, don't do anything your not comfortable with! If you don't like colored pants, don't wear them! You can still pull off this look without them.

Shirt: JCPenney, Old Navy, Macy's, Target, Urban Outfitter (more expensive).

Shorts: JCPenney, Macy's, Target, Urban Outfitters (more expensive), Kohl's, PAC Sun.

Outfit Ideas!

    I don't usual give full outfits, just little parts and then let your imagination pull the piece together. This post is to give you inspiration, add your own flare and accessories to make it you!

Pair your outfit with some colored converse to get a simple, casual look.
I also like the graphic bracelets to give some more depth to the outfit
and they are great conversation pieces!

    I floral or patterned shirt is perfect with a plain, monotone skirt or pants. You bring others eye in towards your shirt, which can be super helpful for some of us more "flat chested" people.

    Side note, this comment is not to make anyone self conscious about their bodies at all. The world of Fashion sets this outline of how girls, and guys, should look, when in reality no one fits that image. And we shouldn't try to! I know you have all heard this before, and I don't want to lecture you all on treating yourself right and not comparing yourself to others (which you shouldn't). Instead I want to tell you that it doesn't help to hate on your body or wish to be like others, but to think of yourselves as beautiful individuals and wear things that make you comfortable and confident!

    This outfit shows off her curves in a subtle way. When your more curvy then clothing that just accentuates your body is perfect! When your don't have as prominent curves tighter clothing achieves the same effect. Just remember to be you and have fun with your clothes!

Menswear and Other News!

    I am going to be coming out with some posts on men's fashion, so please tell your friends about this blog! I would love to hear from my viewers as well as get some new ones!

    Plus, a big shout out to Teen Vogue Magazine! I love seeing what's in (even though it might be slightly out of my price range) and finding things in my own closet that imitate the fashion shown. It's super easy to shop in your own closet when you get some new insight!

Thank you all for everything!

What's in Now? Marin Scott

Must Have: Chubby Sticks

    You must have some lip color with you all the time! I love my chubby sticks, they stain your lips while hydrating and adding a little gloss! Perfect for a quick touch-up or a casual outing. I love colors that are natural on me, that way you look flawless in seconds!

Red, Red, Red!

    This week we explore this wonderful and stunning color! When wearing red be sure to tone down everything else. You don't want to look too crazy colorful! Yet I am always a fan for a couple of colored pieces with some red lipstick. If you can pull it off, then do it! That's what fashion's about, after all. You express yourself through your clothing. If it's not "you" and you don't feel comfortable in it, then it's not true "fashion". Always wear what you love and don't worry about what others might think, if it's you then you shouldn't feel self conscious!

Add some color to your day with a sassy pout.
Who knows, you might even get some looks from your crush!

 Anyways, I love my red heels! They are super comfortable and sassy, perfect for a "feeling pretty" day! Wear them with a dress, like in the photo, and you'll get compliments from your peers! But don't limit yourself to dresses, mini skirts and skinny jeans are also fun options!

Back to School Accessories!

I got this navy blue beauty at a small boutique in Union Pier, South Haven.

    You will turn heads with this stunning necklace! Big necklaces, along with chain necklaces, are in this season and you can usually find them anywhere. Pair a statement necklace with a plain top and skinny jeans for a casual look, or a subtle dress for a more dressy look!
