I swear each week flies by faster and faster, I feel like summer just began. The one thing that is the most exciting (at least for me) is fall fashion! I've always beena fan of layers, sweaters, boots, and everything else incorporated with fall fashion! For work, we have a small project of forecasting what trends we will soon be seeing in the stores. I plan on doing a video on how to make those trends more wearable, example: colored denim, ponchos, and etc.<div> <br /></div><div>Here is a brief list of what you may be seeing!</div><div> <br /></div><div>Colored denim (this is going to be HUGE)</div><div><img src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-KienoOSyS2Y/Tl2aUrUZRQI/AAAAAAAAAQ4/zvMAr38aWU4/s320/resize_image.jpeg" style="cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 266px; height: 320px;" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5646839187808797954" /></div><div> <br /></div><div>(Joe Jean's pictured above. My personal favorite!)</div><div> <br /></div><div>Specific colors that will be trending: Red, Royal Blue, and Green will the be major players. But don't be surprised to see everything in between.</div><div> <br /></div><div>The new Stripe: Polka Dots</div><div> <br /></div><div> <br /></div><div><img src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-yMtyKU2WIuk/Tl2bNrBPMEI/AAAAAAAAARA/G885ckt0YWY/s200/_6493399.jpeg" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5646840166980988994" style="cursor: pointer; width: 130px; height: 200px; " /></div><div> <br /></div><div> <br /></div><div>(Bailey 44 top from Nordstrom)</div><div>Stripes will still be important for fall, but you will see polka dots starting to take over in your favorite silhouettes!</div><div> <br /></div><div>Of course fur! (I prefer faux)</div><div> <br /></div><div><img src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-dxvKQMGVikw/Tl2b2ieRtBI/AAAAAAAAARI/yO3w-B4Ns-M/s200/Product.jpeg" style="cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 200px; height: 200px;" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5646840869061506066" /></div><div> <br /></div><div>(BB Dakota Fur poncho from Von Maur)</div><div> <br /></div><div>Whether you get your fix in a 60's inspired coat, vest, or poncho, there are multiple ways to wear this important trend!</div><div> <br /></div><div>Menswear: Tuxedo Jacket</div><div><img src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-NQIpV78nkYc/Tl2c1OcJIqI/AAAAAAAAARQ/8CptveiyvSo/s200/gp852513-00vliv01.jpeg" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5646841946015605410" style="cursor: pointer; width: 150px; height: 200px; " /></div><div> <br /></div><div>(Jacket from The Gap)</div><div> <br /></div><div>Put away your blazers and cardis! Tuxedo jackets are an easy way to incorporate the menswear trend without looking too manly. They are great for layering over dresses or easy tees. </div><div> <br /></div><div>Those are just a couple things I've been noticing. Like I said, I hope to do an in depth detail on how to really wear some of fashion's biggest trends.</div><div> <br /></div><div>Now...for loves and hates!</div><div> <br /></div><div>Loves:</div><div> <br /></div><div>My pups. They are always there when I need a good cuddle!</div><div>Designer denim. Purchased my first pair of Joe's and J Brand Jeans and I'm obsessed! The first, the quality, my butt looks so much better in these jeans! :-p</div><div>Not traveling for 3 weeks. As much fun is it to see different places, sometimes all i want to do is watch tv, eat chips and guac, and totally veg.</div><div>Zumba: I just started doing this! I'm obsessed! It's super fast paced and such a fun time! Thought I sweat like crazyyyyy.</div><div>You guys!! I've had the most surprising response with my "Only human" Video. I love you guys so much and am so thankful for all of the support and love you have given me.</div><div> <br /></div><div>Hates:</div><div>The numbing sensation after you've worn heels for 8 hours. OWWW.</div><div>Making Guacamole and realizing the avocado isn't quite ready. (still eat it)</div><div>How I look when I sweat. Seriously. Nothing attractive about me wiping my forehead every 5 minutes.</div><div>Unpacking. I literally have no energy to do it until i have to pack AGAIN for another trip. </div><div> <br /></div><div> <br /></div><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/9083169202341593477-712155054424986774?l=sushirockstars.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Bonniehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/18315817940476061863noreply@blogger.com6tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9083169202341593477.post-13986049835777338852011-04-10T19:39:00.000-07:002011-04-26T10:48:01.979-07:00As you've probably noticed, both my blog and youtube have gotten a bit of a...well cleansing. I think people can relate when I say that the beauty community has changed the few years it's been around. While it once started out as a hobby quickly became more stressful than it was worth.<br /><br />So I quit.<br /><br />And then I realized how much I hold dear to this community. Not only is it a passion of mine, but an outlet. My viewers were there when I was young and adventurous in college. When I had my heart broken. When I scared of moving on. When I grew into my own skin. When I graduated and started on my own. So it's so much more than just a hobby. It's a part of who I am. So when I deleted the videos and blogs..I cried. Because I felt like i was deleting a part of myself. And as stupid as that sounds it made me realize how much it means to mean.<br /><br />So now I have revamped myself...my blog..everything. It's time to enjoy life. I won't lie and say was overwhelmed by moving, leaving all my friends and family. Thank goodness I have Blair. But I let it take over me and was really unhappy for the first couple of months. I was so exhausted and you guys could tell.<br /><br />And my body has also taken the toll. I've gained a bit of weight which is normal when your lifestyle change, but like the saying goes "I'm sick and tired of being so damn sick and tired". So I've gotten off my butt and started working out. I'm trying to eat better. And I know what you guys are gonna say,<br /><br />"Um...Bonnie.. You say this all the time. Yeah rightttt"<br /><br />And it's said to say that sometimes hitting a low is what it takes, even though it shouldn't.<br /><br />But I'm human. Which is why I am exposing myself. Because I'm not fake. I'm not ashamed of myself and I honestly feel that as long as at the end of the day, you can be love the person you've become...thats all that matters.<br /> I've started hanging out with new people and actually having a life again. I realized I'm still young and honestly, life doesn't have to be tough. So I'm going to get off my butt and live.<br /><br />And also...thank you. For your support and belief in me.<br /><br />Enough about that. Lets talk about loves and hates:<br /><br />Hates:<br />Oh the bootilicous jelly I've accumulated. But it's ok.. I bought shape ups :-p<br />Being pale. Only accentuated the jelly.<br />My powder blush. No matter what i seem to use, it always ends up looking so splotchy.<br /><br /><br />Loves:<br />Blair. Oh goodness that boy has survived the roller coaster Bonnie. I don't know how he does it.<br />Avocados and mushrooms. OMG I am obsessed with making my own guac and stuffed mushrooms!<br />Sunny weather. This weekend it's been sooo nice. I'm done with you Winter!!<br />Elf Angled Brush. For only a couple bucks, it's my favorite thing to apply my gel liner with!<br />Naked Palette. Literally. Use. this. Everyday. My poor collection, I need to start playing with it again, but with my rut..well, so became my makeup.<br /><br />If you read that entire post..jeez. I guess I'll post random pictures? hah enjoy! These are from a little amateur photo shoot with Bleak, Blair's dog. I took pictures and made Blair a calender :)<br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-ykuU5-uaaY0/TaJv5H9pquI/AAAAAAAAAQc/KZCjAZLGCl0/s1600/IMG_3504.JPG"><img style="cursor: pointer; width: 274px; height: 320px;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-ykuU5-uaaY0/TaJv5H9pquI/AAAAAAAAAQc/KZCjAZLGCl0/s320/IMG_3504.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5594156714328435426" border="0" /></a><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-SPmlhGQoKGs/TaJwgWbH3jI/AAAAAAAAAQk/SIMuqHe8n8g/s1600/IMG_3614.JPG"><img style="cursor: pointer; width: 214px; height: 320px;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-SPmlhGQoKGs/TaJwgWbH3jI/AAAAAAAAAQk/SIMuqHe8n8g/s320/IMG_3614.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5594157388225044018" border="0" /></a><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-AoX0EOSQYaI/TaJw57gaZhI/AAAAAAAAAQs/LKmxQGdFdIk/s1600/IMG_3441.JPG"><img style="cursor: pointer; width: 246px; height: 320px;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-AoX0EOSQYaI/TaJw57gaZhI/AAAAAAAAAQs/LKmxQGdFdIk/s320/IMG_3441.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5594157827676071442" border="0" /></a><br /><br />Oh...and Blair uploaded a video. He wanted to do a "Girlfriend tag". Long story short..It's a fun video of the two of us. We talk about everything between using the restroom in front of each other and how important appearance is.<br /><br />http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wkGaoLcIQsc<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/9083169202341593477-1398604983577733885?l=sushirockstars.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Bonniehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/18315817940476061863noreply@blogger.com18
