Nanette Lepore Clothing

      After seeing the Nanette Lepore clothing line at JCPenny I thought I have to do a blog on the clothing.  These shirts, dresses, and pants are very spring time and summer clothing.  The bright colors really make the clothing pop.
      This sheer orange stylish top looks great with all the pockets and how the shirt buttons up the middle, it's fabulous.  The collar of the shirt makes the shirt look better.

These fabulous striped pants are amazing and are so fun and cool.  The thing that makes the pants look even better is that there are little stars on the fabric, not only stripes.  

Next, this dress is a peachy color with white strips.  The red belt with the dress adds color, in a good way.  The nice thing is that the dress is not too long or too short, it is a nice length.


           
                                                                                                                  So head to JCPenny,

Exercise Clothing

   After a day of sight seeing in your own city you are full of ideas.  One of the things I noticed was the fashion up town, it was funny to see how different the style was.  One of the most popular things I saw people wearing was exercise clothing.  When most people think about exercise clothing they think sporty, and they think not very fashionable.  The truth is that some exercise clothing can be sporty, and others can be stylish. 
   CW- X is a great brand to buy running pants from because they have a good verity of colors and different style pants.  The pants below are CW-X pants.  The color is a raspberry shade, and then from the bottom of the pants the pattern grows out to black.

   Another great brand is Brooks.  They make such cute sweaters.  The sweater's color really pops out, like these.  The colors are great for winter because every thing is gray, and then these are so bright it almost hurts your eyes to look at them!

   One last clothing brand that sells great clothing is New Balance.  Their tank tops are so alive, full of patterns.  This tank top is a maroon color and then there are red highlights.  The other tank top is going crazy with patterns.  There is blue and it almost looks tye-dyed with other blues.

Sneakers!

     Good Morning! Todays blog is going to be all about sneakers and what they are for.  There are many different types of sneakers and the purpose is different for every single one.  
     Steve Madden is a well known shoe designer, and has many shoe stores throughout the USA.  Steve Madden mostly makes and sells fancy sneakers on a heel, like this one.
     This sneaker is on a wedge.  The fact that it is one color makes the shoe look much better because if there is more then one color in the shoe it will have too much going on.

Another fancy high heel sneaker is the Nike sky high city pack.  These are the coolest high heel sneaker.  Nike has made five different sneakers named after five different big cities.  From left to right, New York, London, Milan, Paris, and last but not least Japan.

Moving on to another sneaker, this is more of a running sneaker and you might find it a bit more comfy to wear if you are walking around.  The shoe store that is probably the most known sneaker store is Nike.  Their sneakers are like walking on air, and they make fun bright colors that pop.  For example this sneaker's sole really pops out because it is a bright color with a darker color.


This last sneaker type is a more everyday sneaker.  You can probably wear this shoe with all of your outfits.  The Converse store is very popular, as well as their sneakers.  What is very cool about this store is that there is a whole section where you can tell them what design you want on your shoe, and then the will customize the shoe for you.  This design is a black high top.  This is the classic Converse shoe.

As i said on my last post i will try to write more posts on week days.  Thank you for understanding that with school and after school i have very little time to write so i will try to post one post each school week.  Once again that you for understanding.
                                                                                                                      Stay colorful,

Fashion at the Oscars


Sorry about the hold up in the blogs, I have been on vacation and, well,  I took a break!  I have heard that my earlier blog post, First Lady Style, the pictures did not download.  I will repost the blog and I hope that the pictures download this time.  If the pictures do not download please let me know in a post.  Thank You.
          Let's talk Oscar fashion.  The Oscars were earlier in the week and the red carpet was looking good.  Every actress had their own sense of style.  No dress was the same color, let alone style!  It is always interesting to see all the different designers that are worn and what style and color looks best on each person.  The funny thing is that all the women's dresses are so unique, and then the mens clothing is so similar, they are all wearing a black tux. 
          This first designer is Dior Haute Couture.  This dress was worn by Jennifer Lawrence.  The dress is more of a creamy pink color and it looks nice with her skin.  Her pearl earrings flatter the dress and the necklace hanging down the back was a show stopper.  Her little silver clutch looks great and adds a funky touch to the dress, but the dress still looks classic.

This next designer is  Giorgio Armani.  He designed Jessica Chastain's dress.  The strapless sparkly dress looks amazing with her skin color the tan color dress with the pale skin looks really nice and the red lipstick and hair put the final touch to the outfit.  It is nice how she doesn't have a necklace on because it would have been too much with the earrings and the bracelet.

Last but certainly not least is a fabulous Alexander McQueen dress, worn by Amanda Seyfried.  The color compliments her.  The neckline is cool and the tear drop slit makes it even cooler!  The pattern on the dress makes the dress pop and the fact that the pattern fades out makes the dress a little funkier.  It is nice that Amanda didn't overdo it with jewelery and that she kept the earrings simple, like the hair style.

Once again sorry about the hold in the blog.  it was had to write with vacation, school, and (sadly) homework.  I plan to write as much on a school night as possible.
