Fashiolista ❤

Ok well, some of you might have seen my blogwidget on the right of the blog. Well, you might be like "What? What the heck is that!?" Well, it is the most AMAZING website ever! It is one of my most used websites in my laptop (after facebook and my email of course!) :) It's called Fashiolista and it is truly ingenious! For all those "Fashion Fanatics" out there this is definitely the site for you! Basically, you go to the Chrome Web Store and search Fashiolista in the search box (it's for free btw) and you can easily install the "Heart" extension. With that extension you can go to ANY store on the web and basically catalog all your fave finds, and other people using fashiolista around the world can "love it"! It's so incredible, instead of bookmarking all your fave finds on the web, it'll have it all neatly cataloged. Here's a link to it, if you'd like to try it: http://www.fashiolista.com

Steal Today's Look

Donna Karan's Spring 2011 collection included many various outfits with mid-calf skirts (right) and knee-length skirts (left) and we all fell head over heels in love with this season's look. It is a great and elegant way to show off your tanned legs and by adding a ruffled jacket, it completes the springy, yet chic, look. To steal the look you can pair a cute blouse with some adorable heels, a mid-calf black skirt, a ruffled jacket, and of course...accessories! Below are some great, (and cheap) examples. :)
