#Coasttocoastchallenge

Hey y'all!

Have you heard about #coasttocoastchallege yet?!
If you have an instagram every Monday & wednesday @lindseyeryn posts different fashion challenges to do the next day! And so you post pics of what you're wearing that day and the challenge item(s) of the day! Like yesterday was scarf challenge, so I saw many posts on different ways to wear a scarf, like around your neck, on your head, or as a sarong... Inventive ideas for sure! It's a way for girls all over the world to be connected by fashion! Always different looks, always fun to look at and be inspired by! Also you can go to www.coasttocoastchallenge.wordpress.com for more information! And when involved in a challenge, you post a pic on Tuesday or Thursday and add a #(hashtag) as in #coasttocoastchallenge , sounds fun right?! Love this idea so much! You should at least do one challenge!

Enjoy! -Ryn

Style secret: Men's Oxfords

Yep, That's my style secret! Men's Button down shirts! You read it correctly! I love this style, because you can belt it, let it be more like a light jacket or wear it un-buttoned! Rolling the sleeves up is a must! Plus you can pair the men's shirt, with skinnies or a pencil skirt! Super cute right?!
Seriously, you will feel oh so cute in this! I know it's sometimes hard to wrap your head around it, but it's so cute when worn! And let's face it, sometimes, we may not want constricting clothes, it's nice to have it a bit roomy, but you can always define your waist by adding a belt! There is a sexiness by being carefree & simplistic! P.S. Menswear is big for fall! : )

Plus I have a few ideas to make it more feminine for ya! Later DIY posts to follow : )
But for now you'll have to live with pictures!

And suggetions on where to look for men's oxfords:
Plato's Closet
Thrift stores
Gap
Oldnavy
J.crew & outlet : )
Also Check out the clearance section! 

 

 

This is Me by the way! And that is a Men's pinstripe blue & white shirt...I paired it with a Women's J.crew Cardi, & denim skinnies, with tan booties & a statement necklace...


And since we are getting into fall, flannel shirts are the best! You can throw a cardi over it & and look super chic! Don't be afraid to play with patterns, although chambray is nice too! And if you are an XS go for an XS or S in men's, If you wear mediums, you'll want a S or M and so forth! Just try it on!

Color combos for Fall! : )

So, Ive been thinking, a pair of Gap royal blue khakis are on their way to my house as we speak... of course I ordered them 3 months ago, but that's beside the point!  I know that colored jeans & pants are all the rage right now, and they were last fall too! I quite frankly love them! But to some it may be a sensitive subject! Here are some colors you wouldn't think of going together, but they fit perfectly together : )


Have fun with it, and if you figure out other colors to go with your royals, your rusts, your taupes & your greenish golds, please let me know! I'd love to try the combos!

For this fall and winter, my favorite color combos are:


Royal Blue & Rust:
My all time fave! Who knew it would look great?! The rust makes the blue pop! it's absolutely gorgeous!

 

 and

Navy/Fawn Taupe

and

Navy/Greenish Gold:

and

Royal Blue/Heather Grey:
This combo is just cute! I love it!

FNO

So last Thursday, September 6th was Fashion's Night Out, otherwise known as FNO! I went to Neiman Marcus Fort Worth, and had a blast, of course it's not as big as, say North park in Dallas or even as big as a whole city celebrating like NYC, but you get my drift! ; ) It's celebrated around the world too! With Women & Men celebrating fashion, by watching runway shows, munching on scrumptious food, having artisan water or cocktails, & getting to do pretty much anything under the sun that involves beauty & update your wardrobe... Seems pretty much like a good night to me : )

Fashion's Night Out began in 2009 as a means to encourage consumers to shop and support the fashion industry during the tough economic climate. ^[4] The event has expanded to 16 countries in 2010 and will occur over the span of eight days to maximize traffic in individual retail environment. ^[5]

And it's for a great cause! It's one night a year, in September. And it's a chance to get dolled up and look at fashion! And I promise to take pics of myself next year at FNO : ) Maybe I'll attend it in NY, we'll see ; )

Check out www.fashionsnightout.com for more information!

I encourage you to go next year! It's sooo much fun! : )

HannahBeth's looks for Autumn : )

So I've been a bit busy this past week! But I absolutely love it!

I went over to a client/friend's home and paired fall/winter outfits together for her! Whenever the weather decides to become colder : ) I went shopping with her back in February and just now putting together outfits! Where has this year gone I wonder?! I'm excited to see what the rest of the year holds, aren't you?!


Also I gave her a list of staples and items to get for fall:
Black skinny jeans- lets face it ladies, they look great on everyone! And every outfit will look great with them!
Denim jacket
Leopard shoes
Peachy Coral scarf
Colorful shoes
Solid color scarves

And then, for us all, what would be great for us: Oxblood nailpolish! deep deep red...

Love y'all! -Ryn
