White Skirts!

 

Summer may be officially over, but I just love the look of white skirts! 

 I love that you can dress them up and love them both long and short.

 

Here are some of my favs for all different seasons:

 

 

 

 

 

I found a great French Connection Skirt from Marshalls for a great price! Even though summer is over, I'm thinking of pairing with a black sweater this winter :)

Great Gatsby

I'm beyond excited to see the new movie, The Great Gatsby, which of course is an adaptation of
 F. Scott Fitzgerald's fiction novel. Set in the 1920's, the jazz age fashion is to die for, including men sporting great suits and women wearing dresses complete with beads and fringe detailing.

 

Here are some shots from the movie, which is in theaters now.

 

 

 

Here are some modern ways you can wear these looks!

For the gentlemen:
Brooks Brothers has an entire line dedicated to the look, as they were the official outfitter for the cast in the movie. Go here to see/buy.
 

For women look for clothing with scallop edging and beading. Also dropped waist dresses. Accessories are a must, including heels, hats, and headbands. Look for pieces with "bling".

Tiffany and Co. created a collection for the movie as well. Go here to see some breathtaking pieces, from cufflinks to a $200,000 jeweled headband.

Tulle Tutu Trend

The opening for each SITC episode, there was Ms. Bradshaw rocking a lovely tutu skirt. I was amazed when Fields dished that the iconic skirt was from a bargain bin and cost a whopping $5! (read full story here).

 

This is a style I don't think every girl can pull off. Careful what you pair it with to avoid looking like an adult ballerina or a cracked out fairy.

 

This ultra feminine look is sneaking up all over the place and on celebs:

 

MTV STYLE

 

Here are some variations of the look:

 

Bright and FULL

Black and short

 

Knee length paired with a tank

Long and paired with chambray and a belt

When looking online try searches, use tulle as well as tutu for best results.(For example Forever21 and Nordstrom have them listed under tulle in the search)

 

 

Want to make your own tutu skirt just like Carrie's? Here is tutorial showing you how you can do it yourself (granted you know how to sew).
