[Ensemble of the Week]: Edgy Brights

This week's ensemble is bright and fun, with a definite dark edge to it. It's perfect for a casual day out on the town, but you can transition it into an evening club look because of the bold accessories. This look definitely makes a statement! It includes a Forever 21 top and Wet Seal jeans with a Chanel bag. It goes to show that you can mix and match super cheap pieces with some splurge-worthy accessories for an overall expensive look!

Rihanna in the bright denim look.

This look includes the bright denim trend that has been hot this season. Celebs like Rihanna, Fergie and Jada Pinkett-Smith have been spotted wearing this trend. However, trends aren't everything so make this look your own by adding unique accessories!

[Ensemble of the Week]: Miami Eclectic

This is a very young & sexy look, which I call "Miami Eclectic." It features a multi-colored Diane von Furstenburg mini-dress with vibrant, citrus hues, along with brown gladiator-inspired Guess heels. The accessories are muted for the most part because the dress speaks for itself. However, I chose turquoise earrings because I think they would look divine against a bronze tan and the bright colors in the dress. This outfit is definitely not for the shy (unless you're trying to break out of your shell!). I imagine that this would be perfect for a day of shopping on South Beach, which turns into a steamy night out on the town.


For makeup, I suggest a look that is as simple as possible because anything bright on the face could make you look clownish! I like the Smashbox summer collection because it has beautiful sheer shades which complement the ensemble. I picked the Limited Edition Oasis Shadow/Liner Quad ($30) and the Desert Chic Lip Enhancing Gloss ($18), both available at Sephora.

[Ensemble of The Week]: Sass & the City

I call this look... Mix & Match: "Sass & the City"

I put together a mash up of designer accessories and a Forever XXI dress, with a dash of Claire's Accessories jewelry. Click on the picture for more details about where to buy everything.

Trend Watch: "Tuxedo" dresses (when the bodice is white and the skirt is black, or another color) are the latest silhouette that top designers are using. There is a very similar style that is new to Nordstrom, by Shoshanna, that looks exactly like this dress, but is WAY more expensive!)
