How's your weekend going?
Through blogging, online shopping and the whole fashion scene, I've come across lots and lots of trends, most of which I love.
Here are some of the not necessarily must-haves, but Should-haves to spice up your closets for this season.
1.
BURGUNDY, maroon, red-wine, oxblood, whatever color you label it as is a very essential color for the season. Even the leaves of trees agree on this one.
Is burgundy the new black?
You can shop for other burgundy pieces here:
Camouflage jacket or camo prints in general! It's versatile
and creates room for creativity. The price ranges from high-ends for celebs to
affordable store prices. Even thrift stores now make these celeb trends accessible to
the masses.

At first I was a little skeptical about these bad girls. I used to be a fan of high top sneakers back when...however, my dislike for wedges won't let me shine and be great. But I do like seeing these on other women. It allows you to show both your girly and tomboy sides. Unique!
P.S. I prefer the ones with the hidden platform. They look way better.

No doubt that the next big thing with headwears are beanies with words on them! I first noticed this trend on Rihanna, Ciara and Teyana Taylor, then they are seen on the heads of many other celebs like Beyonce, Rita Ora and the rest. It expresses thoughts and feelings while promoting warmth. I love the pom ends and slouchy knits too.
You can get a beanie anywhere and I mean ANYWHERE!
Mona sure does know how to rock a beanie!

Back in 2003-04 in Nigeria, I remember me being the envy of my peers when my dad bought me a leather skirt from the U.S...*sigh* I wore that skirt everywhere...in the heat too!
The leather skirt trend is one that will go on for a while, and I'm loving leather pants as well.
If you're wearing a mini leather skirt, it is best worn with some sheer tights and ankle boots!
6.
Motif jumpers, sweaters, pullovers, what have you. These pictures on sweaters depicts characters and images of different kinds. These playful and eccentric sweaters can be paired up with jeans for a casual look, and a dress shirt underlay and a pencil skirt for a dressed up/chic look.
Wear it it work like
Stella!
