And let someone else wear that beautiful feeling of envy is really good, the price is not too expensive, multiple-choice sisters compare it under some clothes, http: //www.fobuy.com/categor/1/1/1/1 /40/Women-s-Dresses.htm, spending over $ 20 as well as gifts to send

My second semester of high school is coming and that means that I have to get some new shoes.

Getting new shoes is no big deal. I'm able to pick good style shoes that goes with the school's color or random. However the brand that I mostly use are Vans since it's a really cool shoe to be wearing in high school with classmates. However after reaching size 11, it was impossible for me to find a Vans shoe in that size.

So my question is very simple: any good, cool, and popular shoe brands I can wear that can be size 11 or above and has different type of styles?

Thank You.

Fashion is important for me because it helps me with my confidence. I could wake up in a totally crappy mood but once I put on a cute blouse and cardigan my mood goes up and I'm happy. Sounds a bit funny but its true. Hasn't this happened to you? We dress to how we feel. Not only can it help with my confidence but its a way to express myself and show how I want to be seen by the world ( BTW the "Don't judge a book by its cover" expression doesn't work! were human its our first instinct to judge! we just choose to ignore it at times.) Anyway... That's why fashion is important to me, what about you?

This is a bit of a wierd thing to talk about but, i have this amazing white dress to wear for new years eve but where its white its a bit see through i dont know whether to where a thong because its tight or breifs because you can kind of see. What should i wear?

I'm 17, my height is 4'10 and i weigh about 70 pounds, and no i don't have an illness or anything, just the way my body is. I was just wondering if there are any online stores, or stores in general for petite, short skinny girls? it's really difficult finding clothes for my age when nothing fits me! and i'm obviously not gonna shop in the kids section xD any suggestions would be great thanks!

Bought this dress for New Years and I have no idea what to accessorise with it or what colour heels to wear it! I dont even know what makeup or hair style I should wear with it. (help!)
I'm mixed race, with a winter holiday tan, brown eyes and curly brown/ blonde highlighted hair. Was thinking about straightening my hair as its a special occasion :)

I’m going to a formal birthday party, and you have to wear pink, white, or black. Which outfit do you like better?

A – A solid pink dress with a solid black outline and black heels.

or

B – A black metallic/sparkly pencil skirt, a pink, lace top, and pink flowery heels.

hello, i just brought a very cute white lace top from forever21 and i was wondering what do you guys think about just a black bra under it with skinny jeans and heels? oh and maybe a gray blazer or cardigan? thanks for the advice !

I’m going to be dancing in a parade tomarrow for my bellydancer instructor/friend and I need a good outfit. So far I have my black tights, white crocet tank top, pink coin belt and black sandals with either a black lace top underneath or a light pink one to match the belt. what do you think?

I met this guy a few weeks ago, and we’ve been texting for a little over a month. He’s in town for work this weekend, and asked me out for coffee / lunch. AND he called it a date. Guys never call them dates! How excited am I, haha!

I’m glad that its going to be an afternoon rendez-vous because it can be so much easier to overdress for dinner. What do you think is suitable for a lunch/coffee date?

I don’t have pictures, but I’m sure you fashionistas have a pretty developed imagination!
- Maybe a circle floral skirt, sheer black tights, brown riding boots and a cardigan?
- Or should I go for something more fitted – a basic grey, knit fitted dress that hits just above the knee… possible with lace tights and over-the-knee boots?
So I guess my question is… first lunch/coffee date —> Sweet and cute, or sexy?

I’m not sure if this pertains, but he is a a few years older than me (2-3 years?), and in the workforce full-time. I’m almost done my third year of university. But we met at a club on Halloween, so its not like there’s a huge difference in maturity in terms of the age gap.

Thanks for your advice… and wish me luck! :)

I just bought a cute pair of lace floral tights (peach/pink) , but not so sure what to wear them with. Wearing them on my bare legs looks kind of weird. They look okay with black tights underneath. I’m short so I’m not sure if I could pull off shorts with them. It was an impulsive buy, but I know I can somehow work with them, I just need some help. thanks!

this is the dress . . . I went home after buying it and checked the blogs and realized that Rumi was wearing it- so cool!

anyway, I have giraffic legs and can’t go bare, but I’m thinking that sheer black stockings might be too much black. any ideas for breaking up the monochromatic thing, or for different colors of tights to wear? maybe burgundy?
thanks so much!

Hi Stylists,

I wanted to get your opinion as fall will be approaching and wanted to find a little longer pair of black leather quarter length (or even elbow length) dress gloves over mid-arm styles. 

While I have seen mid-arm, quarter length, and eblow lengths worn with sleeveless dresses or with 3/4 length blouses, light sweater tops in early fall, what do you think about how these elbow length black dress gloves that are paired with the blouse and pencil skirt?  A style that works for semi-dressy look? Is this something you would try? Here is a picture to give you a better idea:

Long leather gloves with Short Sleeve Blouse and Pencil Skirt

There seems to be a lot of mixing of summer and fall clothing lately.  For instance, you may see the t-shirt worn with a pencil skirt and over the knee boots. Is this becoming more common to do with pairing of summer/fall matchings together? 

Thanks.

I love both necklaces but I'm having trouble working an outfit around the necklaces. It never looks as correct in the mirror as it did in my head. How would you pair minimal jewelry (layered or not) with a winter outfit and also for the statement necklace? I have style block and I need your help. Thank you!

What do you guys think of the faux fur trend? I'm going to be making a blog post with 5 ways to wear a fur vest. I already have one look up. I've never worn a fur vest before but my mom actually told me it's a trend haha

I pretty recently moved to a city, so I've been used to not worrying so much about the weather/rain when I'm going out because I could just drive everywhere, pull right up, and not get wet.

But given that going out in the city requires a ton of walking around and I've found it's impossible to get cabs when its raining, I'm wondering if you guys dress down when you're going out in bad weather or do you just suck it up? I'm supposed to be going to a formal event this upcoming week and the forecast looks terrible which is why this is on my mind. I have my outfit all planned, including some killer Louboutins and a Prada clutch :) But I'm now second guessing that a bit.

What do you guys suggest? Go all out and deal with getting an outfit wet [and worst case falling in a puddle lol :P] or dress down a bit? Any success or horror stories related to weather? And what do you do for makeup & hair?

Thanks :)

I just entered a discussion for favorite online shopping places and thought I had to share my experience with what I now call my absolute favorite. 
I have had to wear glasses all my life and if you know the feeling you know how difficult it can be to find a pair that stays with you. I used to spend a lot on glasses with Oliver Peoples usually being my choice. When Warby Parker came out I was super excited and thought it would be the end of my search - but when I received them any glasses wearer knows how bad they are. They are like the glasses my mom would buy me as a spare. 

Problem back on and after trying Tortoise and Blonde and all the other Warby replicas I thought it would be the end when it comes to buying glasses online. Then I ran into a small startup in London called Archibald Optics that had recently started delivering to the U.S. They claimed to have handcrafted frames from Japan fitted with Japanese lenses for 225. They did the Home Try On Kit like WP so I thought I would give them a shot.

Girls, I just received my order two days ago and have bought another already. To say these are the best glasses I have ever seen wouldn't be an exagerattion. Even better, the lenses are thinner for free which means I don't look like an owl when wearing them. The colors are fantastic. 

I love my glasses and if they are doing it then I know it is possible. I wish they had a few more Women's only styles but I did speak to their customer service (btw the accents are hot) and found out there are a few coming out. 

Please let me know if you know of any others doing something like this. In my mind they are changing everything I am used too.

So I bought the following dress:
http://www.forever21.com/Product/Product.aspx?BR=f21&Category=dress&ProductID=2000058307&VariantID=

Unfortunately, because I am only 5 feet tall, the dress is more of a midi dress on me. Can I still wear similar lace-up boots like the model is wearing (but with heels and in a cognac color)? Or something else? My legs are fairly visible.

Thank you!

Ladies, I need some advice. What would you wear with these boots?

Forget about what my personal style might be, I'd just love a lot of ideas. Nothing too excentric, though. :)

Thank you.

I need some help finding a “leather” jacket. I’ve been searching everywhere for a cute leather or faux leather jacket. The problem is I am 5’10. I have tried a few styles at F21, Urban Outfitters, and Zara but haven’t had a lot of luck. I’m flexible with the cost, though I’m not trying to spend too much on it.

Does anyone have any suggestions?

Ideally I would probably want something black and in a bomber or maybe motorcycle style, but at this point I’m open to suggestions… While I am at it, does anyone have any recommendations for tall styles in general? I know pacsun for jeans. Jcrew, topshop and gap have (limited) tall styles too… anything I am missing? There are so many styles I would like try but feel very limited because of my height.

Thanks!
