Stylish Ways to Wear a Plain White T-Shirt this Summer

Friday, September 27, 2013
The white t-shirt is without question one of the most underrated pieces in our wardrobe, and chances are, we probably already have a few of them kicking around so we don’t need to go out an blow more money.  

There's nothing quite like a white T-shirt. It's versatile, it's cool, and it's a piece that's able to be worn any day of the year, in any season. Perfect for layering or to wear with a variety of wardrobe essentials, the plain white tee always looks fresh, clean and classic.

That said, there's something about summer that makes the white tee especially necessary, as it can anchor statement pieces such as wildly-printed shorts or coloured jeans, add a casual element to silky, beaded, or even sequin skirts, or simply just convey a sense of summer ease with a pair of blue denim cutoff shorts or a basic pair of overalls.

Brightly colored necklaces with funky geometric shapes add a touch of girly flair. You can also try the black-and-white look with black jewelry.

Add a cool belt with a big buckle that stands out. You can wear it around your waist, or wear a low rise one around your hips.

Jackets, vests, cardigans and scarves are great for dressing up a plain shirt!

Check out below for different ways to style a white t-shirt that will work for summer and beyond…now who’s feeling inspired??

Be On Trend: Raw Crystal / Gem stone jewelry

Wednesday, September 25, 2013
One of the jewelry trends that has been popping up on my radar lately is the use of raw gemstones in jewelry. Instead of the polished, symmetrical bead shapes that we are used to, jewelry designers are embracing the beauty of the natural world by incorporating stones in their organic forms into their pieces.  Uncut and unaltered, just as nature intended. It’s a great way to add some shimmer to your outfits














Trending: Leather

Monday, September 23, 2013
Who doesn’t love leather? Leather (or faux leather) is one of those timeless materials that will never go out of style. Whether real or faux, the trend can add edge to any outfit.  Now that designers are treating leather as if it were fabric—dyeing it in punchy colours, cutting it into feminine shapes, and draping it in novel ways, Paper-thin hides, as well as hidden slits to keep you feeling (and looking) cool.

Now leather is working across the seasons.  Lighter weight leathers and in lighter hues will of course be ideal, but your black pleated leather skirt is a hot item to have, even in spring.
This isn't a heavy head-to-toe rock 'n' roll look.  Leather is so easy to wear and can be worn in many different styles, shapes and colours. 

Go for classically cut pieces you can transition. Highwaisted shorts, loose-fitting tops in bright hues and skirts are perfect for office days or date nights.

Wear Leather in Small Doses. Leather is ultra sexy, and it is great for a night out on the town where you know there will be a cool nights breeze or going in and out of air-conditioned buildings all day.  

Keep the Look Seasonal. For example, choose mini skirt or loose shorts a vest or leather booties. Regardless of what bottoms you choose, make it a point to keep whatever area you aren’t wearing in leather lighter in colour and fabric.

If you not big into leather, but still want to be on trend.  You can find almost any fabric combined with leather details.  Think T-shirts with leather patch pockets, leather binding, leather shoulder patches on knits and denim.  There are so many leather combo's out there its hard not to be on trend.
