When a style or trend debuts, whether it's trying out a new BB cream or obtaining a pair of trendy cut out boots, when would you say it is that you catch on or adapt to a trend? The fashion adoption theory was one of my favorite theories to learn, as it tells you how a style or trend starts and ends. Fashion Adoption : A process on how an individual accepts and purchases a new fashion or a style. This Innovation Adaption Curve plots out the five categories and basically shows that with time, any new style or trends popularity rises and eventually fades. Innovation Adaption Curve There are five categories that describe how early a consumer adopts a new fashion compared with others: Fashion Innovators, Fashion Opinion Leaders, Mass Market Consumers, Late Fashion Followers, and Fashion Isolates and Laggards. Tartan is trending right now, so I feel that it would be a great example to follow. Fashion Innovators Yves Saint Laurent-Metro.US Consumer...

I am not that much of a jewelry person, I'm a studs and one ring kind of girl, but I am hyperventilating over this beautiful necklace. Box or curb chain necklaces are a classic staple that every girl should have in their jewelry box and I am currently devoid of one. I was recently browsing through Wendy's Lookbook (I absolutely love her) and one of my favorite looks from her is here . I love the look but my eyes went straight to the necklace and now it is all I can think about. It is sold out and I cannot seem to find it anywhere but I will find this necklace if it is the last thing I do! -Desi

When I hear the word fashion I immediately conjure up images from the pages of fashion magazines (duh) and replay scenes from  The Devil Wears Prada  and  Clueless  ( don’t judge me) in my head. From there I start thinking about the clothes I wear and wonder if it would be considered “fashionable” and start questioning my sense of style and on and on. After all of that pondering, i am left asking myself: what is fashion/style really? Well ,here is what I got. The term  Fashion  by definition is: A popular style or practice that is accepted by a majority of a group. So right now I can say that the Peplum, is in fashion(believe me you’ve seen it everywhere) because it is popular right now and widely accepted, but fashion is not just for the apparel industry alone. ASOS Dress Automobiles and appliances are also fashion items( e.g., blenders that come in a multitude of colors). Almost every product sold is influenced by fashion and it is the cust...

ASOS  Strider heeled loafers  /Pour La Victoire  Kerr / ASOS  Planet shoes /Sergio Rossi Freedom wedge (shoe photos from their respective sites) I can't seem to get these shoes out of my mind at the moment. If your not sure what a lug sole is, it is the thick rubber sole with deep indentations usually found on work or hiking boots and is used to improve traction and stability. Some genius decided to combine the ruggedness of this sole with booties and high heeled pumps and voilà...lug soles are i n  fashion. They were all over the fall runways and now I just need to get my hands on a pair....that's preferably on sale.

Another fall beauty trend I cant wait to try, Matte Nails. I think I'm going to try it with an unexpected color like a neon pink or teal instead of a black, oxblood or any other typical fall color. Now I just need to decide which topcoat I should use....

Here is another outfit inspired by Clueless . This outfit is worn in the scene where Cher and Tai make up while watching Travis skate. One of my favorites :)

www.hm.com OMG!! ok woooooosawwww... I just found out that after many delays, H&M has finally launched their online store for the US and I am hyperventilating. Alright maybe I'm not freaking out that bad but I have waited very very long time for this day.The closest H&M store for me is an hour and a half drive away! Of course I would make the drive but it was very seldom that I did. Along with every item that is sold in the brick and mortar locations being available online, they have also launched their H&M Home collection, and you can pre-order collections before they are launched. Not that I need even more of a reason to shop there. So now I am perusing the site and I just do not know how to deal right now. Hopefully I don't go all Confessions of a Shopaholic cray and max out my credit card(s)....we will see...my closet needs some serious updating anyway. Maybe a future post will be about my (massive) haul!
