For the Rainy Weather

Even though summer is here, and nice weather is expected, there is still the chance of rain. If you are someone that hates to be soaked and have everything you own be soaked, a raincoat and umbrella is the thing for you. Instead of wearing something that isn't fun and interesting, most people wear a plain  yellow raincoat and a black umbrella. But there is so many choices (colors, styles etc.) that you can have fun with. 

Here is an interesting umbrella, far better than a boring black one!

Here are some nice raincoats!

Ass Fold Cleavage!!

Unfamiliar with this sassy trend? The term, "ass fold cleavage" coined by my good friend Ashley Greenleaf, is pretty self explanatory. This highly unattractive fashion faux pas originated in the 80s with the ever fabulous acid washed jeans phase that many took to nationwide. Earlier this semester I discussed the ever popular ass crack peep pants- pants that show the top of one's butt crack on purpose. Also a NO NO by the way. The ass fold cleavage takes the butt cleavage trend south of the derriere to add an uber-punch to an already high wasted, acid washed Smörgåsbord of unique style. This obstinate trend must end soon! There is only so much I can take.

Wedges

Have you shopped for shoes for the upcoming summer season?  If not, you still have time to pick from the hottest styles.  This summer, wedge sandals seem to be the fashion forward trend.  You can find them online or at various stores for very cheap or find them at a much higher, designer-price.  Whether, they be polka dotted or plain, these shoes can be found in a ton of different colors to match and coordinate any spring and summer outfit this season.  I have yet to get a pair, but I will definitely be going shoe shopping soon and will keep this kind of sandal in mind.  They look cute and stylish, while adding a little height to your frame at the same time.

Designer Bags

The trend these days seems like it's imitating celebrity fashion from their hair to their sunglasses to their handbags.  Celebrities don't buy just anything, however.  They usually have expensive taste and buy designer bags.  Nowadays, imitations of these designer bags have come on the market and many women can go to purse parties to purchase these bags for a much cheaper price.  As seen in the photos, Ashley Tisdale is  with her Louis Vuitton bag and Courtney Love is with her Chanel bag.  I see many ladies around campus carrying designer bags from these purse parties and they are very much in style.  It's great to be unique, but if you do want to imitate someone, then celebrities are the people who have the latest fashion trends.  But, you don't always have to imitate their behavior, if you know what I mean.

Cover Your Head, Ladies.

Baseball caps as of lately have become quite popular on women. They are not only worn at sporting events anymore, but also women are wearing them on a regular basis now. Especially with all this gorgeous weather we are having. Women will be spotted wearing the hats to go work-out in, to go shopping, as well as wearing them to games. Women have expanded their horizons and gone all out by adding the genuine baseball cap as a regular fashion accessory. You will see women wearing it with their hair fully down for a more casual look or in a simple pony tail hanging out through the back for a sporty look. They have added it to their wardrobe in multiple colors so that way they match with every piece of clothing. They support their favorite sports teams, the army, alcohol beverages, etc. If you’re a princess let the world know with a pink hat that says princess and a decorative crown embroidered on it. Whatever you want you can get it on one simple hat.

The locks shall be cut

(Written by: Christy Penney)

With summer coming up many men and women will be thinking about cutting their hair into something different and stylish. People want to keep their hair looking amazing throughout all the season and summer being high on the list because of the warmer weather people tend to go shorter. With shorter styles things can get complicated when deciding which one would look better on you. Because the shorter you go the more things depend on your face shape. So you have to be careful when you decide to cut those locks, so you’re not cutting too short or not the right style for your face shape. Keep the lengths to a minimum and consult a professional hairstylist when you are not completely sure what length and style to go for this summer. A very popular style among many young ladies is the bob hair cut as seen on Victoria Beckham and many other young celebrities out there. It is easy to tame in the summer and to keep looking great because it is just the right length for an easy up keep.

Socks & Sandals

For anyone who has ever lived at the beach a tell tale sign of a tourist or "out of towner" is when you spot someone wearing both socks and sandals together. This is an interesting choice because one would think, that if you have sandals on the weather is warm and socks are not necessary. Yet, time and time again offenders are spotted wearing both items together. The biggest trend tends to be some type of leather Birkenstock's sandal with white socks. This is not a good look and it defeats the basic purpose of sandals- which is to expose your feet to the warm weather and sunshine! So buck up people! Let go of the socks, expose your white feet to the world and head out in just sandals! Beach locals everywhere will thank you!
