Getting Inspired the ‘Bright’ Way

 

bright-wrong

Take notice ladies! Bright colors are more versatile than you think. Whether you’re trying to be colorful all over, or just looking for a little extra pizzaz, there are many fashionable ways to achieve the perfect blend of colors. Launch yourself into fall the right way with bright colors as your statement transitional pieces.

A great way to keep your favorite summer styles in your wardrobe a little longer is to mix them with fall’s traditional subdued colors to create a trendy look that makes your unique style pop. Try layering mini dresses or shift dresses over darker tights or under a knitted sweater. Styling with high boots, oversize scarves and darker outerwear can also help shift your summer looks into fall fashion statements.

Faux fur vests can also be a great accessory to a bright dress or top. It’ll keep you cozy in cooler weather while adding a little texture to your style.

Keep an eye out for patterns as well! Sometimes adding a neutral pattern over a bright piece can bring the whole outfit together in a unique and interesting way.

If you’re looking to stand out even more, try pairing a bright top or dress with a contrasting and equally bright jacket. There’s no need to dull yourself down for cooler weather. Show off those colors with pride!

Style Talk: Interview with Fashion Blogger Simply Raquel Collette

StyleTalk-TitleHappy Monday everyone! Today on Style Talk, we are interviewing Fashion Blogger Raquel, of Simply Raquel Collette! We will be talking about how she got into blogging, fashion advice, and her personal style. To conclude Style Talk, we will feature some of the looks Raquel has created for us using She + Sky items! 

WHAT IS THE PRIMARY FOCUS OF YOUR BLOG?

On the homepage of my blog I have a tagline…college, color, fashion, fun. I like to think that those four words sum up my blog and a lot of what I post about! My primary focus is fashion, but I also love posting about organization, school tips, beauty, books, and lifestyle topics in general. My blog started as a creative outlet, and that’s what I hope it will always continue to be!

WHAT IS YOUR FAVORITE THING ABOUT BLOGGING?

My favorite thing about blogging is that I get to share my personal style with tons of other girls and women across the world. I love getting input  from other bloggers and reading sweet comments that readers will leave if they love a particular post. It’s so much fun being about to share my viewpoint on style and fashion with my readers and bounce ideas + get inspiration from other bloggers out there.

HOW WOULD YOU DESCRIBE YOUR STYLE?

I would describe my style as feminine and classic. I love trying out fun new trends, such as tassels and off the shoulder pieces, but always pair them with a classic staple piece. Another huge part of my wardrobe and personal style are color and print. I have never been the one to shy away from a bright hue or pattern, and I think that definitely shows in my photos.

WHAT IS THE BEST FASHION ADVICE YOU’VE EVER RECEIVED?

The best fashion advice I have ever received is just to express your own style and not worry about what other people are going to think! I love looking at other bloggers and instagrammers for inspiration, but I try not to get too wrapped up in doing exactly what every one else does. If you don’t like a trend that’s currently all the rage, that’s ok! If you are totally loving something that everyone else is at the moment, that doesn’t mean you are “basic”. Just be yourself, and love what you wear!

FASHION CAN OFTEN BE INFLUENCED BY THE ENVIRONMENT WE LIVE IN. DESCRIBE HOW IT LOOKS WHERE YOU LIVE AND THE TYPE OF WEATHER YOU EXPERIENCE THERE. DO YOU THINK THIS IMPACTS YOUR STYLE? HOW?

I live in Michigan which is definitely a state known to have some crazy weather! I think the hardest part about being a blogger for me sometimes, is living in a state where the weather is constantly changing…but also one of the most fun parts! I have found that dressing in layers (but cute ones!) in the winter is the way to go. Because I live in a state with all four seasons, it’s fun to do blogposts and see the scenery and my style change throughout the year!

Now that we’ve gotten to know Raquel a little better, lets take a look at some of the looks she has created for us She + Sky items!

Style Talk: Interview with Fashion Blogger ALEXIISTHERESE

 

title.pngHappy Monday everyone! Today on Style Talk, we’re going to be interviewing Fashion Blogger Alexis, of ALEXIISTHERESE! Not only does she have amazing style, but the photos taken by her husband, Bryan are absolutely captivating! Today we’ll discover what inspires her personal style, her favorite trends and how she got into blogging. Towards the end of the post we will also be featuring some looks Alexis has created for us using She + Sky items! Here’s what she has to say:

HOW DID YOU GET INTO BLOGGING?

I’ve always had such a passion for all things fashion & beauty and I wanted to find a way to express myself creatively. I’ve been following several other blogs/vlogs for years and I was really inspired to do the same! I have to admit, it’s pretty terrifying to put yourself out there, but I am so glad I did.

WHAT IS THE PRIMARY FOCUS OF YOUR BLOG?

I’m primarily focused on showcasing fashion in unconventional settings. I love expressing my sense of style through creative photographs taken by my husband, Bryan Castillo (@bryanadamc).

HOW WOULD YOU DESCRIBE YOUR STYLE?

You can’t really put my style into a box, it’s kind of all over the place. The best way to describe my style is trendy with an edge. I like to follow current trends but I put my own unique, edgy twist to them. Whether it’s adding a sleek leather jacket, suede fringe bootie or a completely backless jumpsuit. Also, I love black. Too much.

WHAT ARE SOME OF YOUR FAVORITE FASHION TRENDS AT THE MOMENT?

I absolutely LOVE the athleisure trend that is super hot at the moment. Sporty crop tops with mesh leggings, running shoes, a cap and a leather jacket…doesn’t get any better than that! I hope this trend sticks around for a while because it’s so comfortable!

FASHION CAN OFTEN BE INFLUENCED BY THE ENVIRONMENT WE LIVE IN. DESCRIBE HOW IT LOOKS WHERE YOU LIVE AND THE TYPE OF WEATHER YOU EXPERIENCE THERE. DO YOU THINK THIS IMPACTS YOUR STYLE? HOW?

I live in the beautiful desert of Tucson, Arizona where 90% of the year it is HOT. The environment definitely impacts my style as we only really have a month or so of wearing coats and boots! Aside from the climate, the desert definitely impacts my style as well. I love to style outfits with a southwestern or bohemian vibe in mind.

 

Take a look at what makes Alexis…well, Alexis! All of the looks she has put together for us incorporate some of our very own She + Sky items!

5 Ways To Rock Plaid This Fall

Title.png

SL1556-Layered Dress with Open Back

Instead of a pop of color, try a pop of plaid! If you’re not that comfortable with wearing bolder prints like plaid, this is a fantastic way to gradually incorporate it into your look!

 

Contrast.png
LEFT: SL2105-High Low Plaid Contrast Top with Front Collar, RIGHT: SL2565-Plaid Vest with Faux Leather Binding & Pockets

Use contrasting materials to accent your plaid. These fabrics can create a well balanced design that beautifully showcases both elements.

 

 

Plaid-Poncho.png

Stay warm & cozy this Fall with a plaid poncho. Style it open like a cardigan or wrap it around for a snug fashionable look!

SL2564-Roll-up Sleeve Plaid Cardigan with Fringe Hem

One great thing about multicolor plaid is that it’s often multifunctional as well. Use it as the focal point & pair it with neutrals or style it with one or more of it’s complimentary colors for a rich autumn look!

Velvet Trends You Need To Try this Fall

TitleVELVET

Did you miss out on the velvet trend last time around? Well don’t worry, soon we’ll be seeing a lot more of it. Velvet is anticipated to be one of the hottest trends this Fall, and honestly we couldn’t be more thrilled! There is just something about velvet that draws you in. Whether you admires it’s gorgeous metallic sheen or rich luxurious texture, once you wear velvet, you can’t help but fall in love. Today we’re going to share with you some of our favorite trends in velvet that you definitely need to try this Fall!

 

Crushed-Velvet
Left: SL2072-Cold Shoulder Velvet Shift Dress, Right: SL2480-Short Sleeve Velvet Swing Dress

Want something with the flash of sequins and the smoothness of silk? Then you need some crushed velvet in your life! Unlike traditional velvet, crushed velvet has a crinkled texture to it which emphasizes all the shadows and highlights of the fabric. This results in giving the fabric a unique glistening multi-dimensional appearance. Crushed velvet can be styled to be the main focal point of the outfit or it can also be used as an accent piece when paired with contrasting fabrics.

 

Bell-Sleeve
SL1392-Bell Sleeve Velvet Dress

The retro bell sleeve is all the rage right now and why not kick things up a notch by adding some velvet into the mix? Dress it down for any everyday boho look or dress it up for a special occasion!

 

Cocktail
Left: SL1587-Cap Sleeve V-Neck Velvet Dress, Right: SL1706-High Neck Velvet Shift Dress

Looking for that perfect dress for a holiday party or date night? Why not wear a velvet cocktail dress? Velvet will instantly glam up your look, plus the lovely sheen of the fabric will enhance the natural draping of the dress, making you look utterly unforgettable.

We hope you enjoyed this little sneak peek of whats to come in the following seasons! Are you as excited as we are for velvet this Fall/Winter? Which velvet trend do you love?
