Are You Confused?

Is it summer or is it winter? As we make our way into the early weeks of spring, people often wonder when its time to turn in your favorite pair of cozy boots and sweaters and break out the sandals and shorts. I say, once you turn over to flip flops, there is no switching back to boots till the fall! I think the look of boots and a jean skirt is cute, but what i don't like is jean shorts and boots. I don't know why but it appears as if your puzzled and not sure the season. These two are polar opposites and each pertain to a particular season. Some people can definitely pull it off, i think its all about the way you present it. But if you're considering switching over to your spring/summer collection choose your outfits wisely! We'd love to hear your opinion on this!

Jumpsuits get a second chance with rompers.....

When someone says jump suit we usually imagine a fifty something woman in a pea green velour sweatsuit browsing price chopper after hitting the gym.... atleast I do. Yet last spring and summer something cute, stylish and all in one piece came on the scene. Rompers are a shorter version of the not always attractive jump suit. They're usually strapless or tank top style with connected shorts at the bottom. Rompers are kindof similiar to a dress just with shorts instead of a skirt. What's the point you ask?! Just something new to either hit or miss with this spring. Whether you rock them or not so much... they're dressy but casual and always make a statement.

Jeans, Leggings, ... Jeggings?

Jeggings are a new fashion trend that have changed the way people wear jeans. Love the look of jeans but hate the uncomfortable button or waist band? Love the comfort of leggings but want to make it a little more casual?, then jeggings are for you! I wouldn't recommend them for men as you can see how they look on Conan above.. But Jeggings are a definite must for any young woman for any style; dress them up or dress them down. Jeggings have the look of jeans from the pockets to the waist band and zipper with the look of denim, but their stretchy, its just as if you're in your favorite yoga pant! So girls, go out and try them for yourself, i highly recommend them!

Boys Love Tim

As you can tell from the video above, boys love their boots... Timberland work boots seem to be the new fashion for boys this year. Towards the end of 2010 it appeared that the majority of high school boys were sporting a new pair of shoes... well work boots. It didn't matter what style they were considered; whether they're sporty, "country", or even the Ralph Lauren wearer, they all seem to be coordinating a pair of work boots into their wardrobe. But the question is are these boots becoming a new everyday trend or something that should be left to your cowboys? Cody, a country boy from a suburban high school in New York says, " I wear them every weekend because i don't like to get my other shoes dirty, or sometimes to school. I think that kids who are just wearing them to fit in shouldn't cross their style and just wear what their used to wearing." Ken, a friend of Cody's has a similar opinion. " I wear my boots every single day, to school and working on my uncle's farm, anything else is uncomfortable to me. I think work boots should stay for country boys , not for preppy kids trying to follow the trends." Of course there will always be some controversy on who should wear them or not but if high school hall ways are any indication, your Nike kicks better make room for Timberlands.

What's In: Long, flowy waves vs. Short, sleek cut

It seems there is a major clash in hairstyles this spring and the question everyone's asking is long or short? Long waves are classic and always look good, but some seem to think they've gotten a bit tired. Trend risktakers are chopping it all off in different ways. Style icon and Grammy winning recording artist Rihanna recently told MTV News that she wanted to do "something daring with my hair, something fun, something unexpected".
She certainly took a big leap in the fashion world when she got a dramatic cut and soon dyed it bright red. Although long hair is always pretty, many are craving a change that a nice bob or sleek angled bangs just may bring them.

Are UGG's . . . Out?

Within the past five or six years, UGG boots have become a household name. These boots are a phenomenon with young women ranging anywhere from the age of eleven to thirty, or even older! These boots come in all different heights, colors, styles, and are filled with beautiful soft fur. It seems that every teenage girl in America owns at least one pair, disregarding their expensive status.
" Every girl i know has UGG's , its just a really big trend in our school." Says high school  junior, Madeleine from upstate NY.

But recently, it seems that new footwear has come to steal the show. Most know these boots as flat boots or over-the-knee boots. These boots are usually made of leather or suede and come just below or above the knee depending on how they are worn.
"UGG's used to be the "In" fashion that everyone wore to be in style, now their just something we wear". Says high school junior, Erin also from upstate NY. Flat boots are the new fashion forward. Nicole Polizzi, Better known as "Snooki" from the popular MTV series Jersey Shore, says she likes to wear UGG boots with leggings while keeping things casual or running errands according to her interview with Stylelist.com. Check it out for yourself.
