It seems everywhere I go I see the revival of the Doc Marten, Nirvana praising tees and the much too common oversized flannel. I’ve heard the saying trends always come back in style, so it’s not surprising we are living in a modern day 90’s. And I’m definitely guilty over having a grunge crazed phase. I guess it’s just the vintage feel of the clothes, and the fact that they are simple and look effortless. I’ve been coming increasingly aware that my closet it being over filled with vintage sweaters and countless pairs of floral Doc Martens. And need I say denim? From vests, jackets and shirts I’m a denim hoarder. Although I consider myself a nonconformist I’m obviously guilty of “hopping on the bandwagon” of the 90’s rewind. I guess being a 90’s baby wasn’t enough.

Let's Be Blunt
Although it’s considered more of a daring look, the fringe style surprisingly works on several face shapes. Winter is a great season to try out the cut, there’s no need to always pull that hair up; considering the weather is colder and the fact you want to try something new. The bang can be considered a simple accessory, an asset to any outfit. The structured hair brings out those angular cheekbones, and gives a subtle smolder look to those eyes. And don’t fret if you’re not a fan of the big bang. Just simply sweep them to the side to create that effortless messy look!

Matte Mani
I love mixing colors when doing my nails. Although I tend to stick to chic black, or a burgundy merlot color; however, recently I’ve been trying out more vibrant, yet a still subtle palette. A deep satin blue, and make them matte! Meaning don’t keep that glossy shine, make it a texture that’s unique, a texture that’s more appropriate for Winter. I’m in love with matte, and these textures can be purchased in a nail polish, or in a seperate polsh itself to make any color winter matte!

J'adore
If there’s one thing I’ve taken from French is the saying “J’adore”, meaning I love. And I absolutely love stripes. Although it’s a pattern that’s been around since out parents were kids, doesn’t mean it is out of style. Pair any stripped shirt with a basic skinny pant, and you have a definite ready-to-go outfit! I like wearing oversized stripped Tee’s, I pair them with a basic black skinny jean, and some rockin’ velvet red combat boots I purchased at H&M, for $25! Well as you can see stripes is a necessity in any person’s closet. The versatilities are endless for your fashion creation!

Falling for this Street Style!
Here is another head to toe chic street style, that’s casual yet classic. Her clothing combinations flow together effortlessly, and create an indie vibe. The beanie is obviously an already favorite for me; the maroon merlot color is a fall staple. However, the uniqueness from the beanie comes from the thicker material it’s made from; because if you have thick hair like me it’s hard to keep a thin knit beanie from falling off. The shirt is a basic printed oversized T. These are my absolute favorite, because the thinness of the shirt flatters your figure, and doesn’t cling! Paired over the shirt is the focus of this look, the oversized military green coat! The color is great for fall and winter, and its keeps you warm as well. I’ve already purchased mine at H&M for around $40, it was a definite steal. Her pants are a basic pair of black thick legging (they are thicker to keep warm), my favorite are known as “pixie pants” you can buy them in several colors at Macys. Lastly, we can see a bit of her vintage tattered cowboy boots. Purchase these at Urban Outfitters; however, honestly I would rather go thrifting at local flea markets, and Goodwill’s because you are bound to get a better price.

Street Style
Kudos to this young fashioninsta, she rocks the laid back look with the in cooperation of edginess. Her tousled hair looks boho, yet seems appropriate enough to go to school or when you are out on the go! She is wearing a gray slouchy beanie which allows people like me who are lazy more often than not to look put together. Also she pairs a thin oversized skull T, with an oversized taupe-colored cardigan. The combo goes together effortlessly, as well as her skinny black leggings, and suede charcoal colored booties. Take a try at this super cute attire sometime; it’s easy, affordable and ultimately stylish.
Fall Friendly Denim
We’ve all come across that denim blouse in your shopping routine, heck you might even have a couple in your closet! Whether it’s faded, distressed or even a different color; there is probably still one denim style you haven’t yet purchased. It’s been seen all over the runways, and quite a few celebrities have sported the trend, it’s the ombre denim. Yes, you know like ombre hair? It starts off one color and fades into a darker or lighter one. I’ve been digging the dark to light denim. The shirt is very versatile, leaving you with dozens of outfits to pair with. Pair with some printed jeggings, and some carmel colored riding boots, and you got yourself a full proof outfit.
