Striped Sunglasses a 2013 Summer Fashion Trend!
How I love these sunglasses!!! As I mentioned in my Recap Video – they are my favorite trend from Vogue’s June issue! I love both pairs – but my absolute favorite is the Dolce & Gabanna pair.
Unfortunately my wallet does not love these as much as I do. Although I could stretch to purchase them I am thinking a more budget friendly pair would be a wiser choice for me.
As usual I have found some alternative choices for you. Now, remember they aren’t Dolce & Gabanna or Marc Jacobs… but they the same feel.
The New Summer 2013 Tote Bag!
As promised in my June Vogue Magazine recap video, here are some tote bag choices. The “winged” tote bag is a must for this summer. The Michael Kors bag I found featured in Vogue is a great example of this years tote! However, if your finances are like mine, purchasing a $3500.00 tote is not an option.
Because one of my goals is to bring the runways and the magazines to everyday ladies closets, I have found some great alternative tote bags for those of us who do not have an unlimited budget!
This tote I found at JC Penny –
These I found at BagInc, one of my favorite bag stores!
Gingham – Summer 2013 Fashion Trend!
Gingham is a sure sign that the calendar has turned to summer. Gingham is a classic trend, it never vanishes, some years we see less of it some years we see more of it. We are definitely seeing more gingham for summer 2013.
This fun light pattern had a full spread in the June issue of Vogue Magazine. This 10 plus page spread tells us that gingham may be something we want to add to our wardrobes for summer 2013.
Here are some fun ways to add gingham into your wardrobe for summer 2013!
Eat Your Way To Great Skin!
Have you ever thought, “Boy do I wish I could find the fountain of youth?” Or have you looked in the mirror and thought, holy crap I look old and not so good. If either thought has crossed your mind, let me share two things with you. One, the fountain of youth is not that far away, and two, you have control – to some degree on how graceful of ungraceful you age.
What we put in our mouth, what we eat, can have a big impact on how we look and how we age.
I have always been obsessed with any information that links beauty and youth to nutrition. My obsession has lead me to know a lot of tidbits on the subject. It seemed people were always wildly impressed with my tidbits of info on nutritional beauty which is why I created a nutritional beauty section on The Achievable Fashion Beauty Report.
I figure, instead of keeping these nuggets of information – golden nuggets, to myself I should share them. I am constantly searching for them anyway, why not share them and save you the time.
Here is a great article outlining some fabulous foods that will have your skin looking its very best. Skin is the base of beauty. Great skin will have you looking fabulous and will keep aging at bay. Not so great skin can have you looking like you should be at your 40th high school reunion instead of your 25th! Yikes. Read The Great Skin Diet from Self Magazine and add some of the great foods outlined in the article to your diet.
60’s Inspired Graphic Dresses- Spring 2013 Fashion Trend
In case you are new to Achievable Fashion, let me explain who we are. I am Karyn and my mission is to rid all women of their infamous closet full of clothes and nothing to wear. I will accomplish my mission by helping women build the ultimate wardrobe.
Step one – build the ultimate wardrobe. Get my fist book, it’s free, and build your Basic Classic Wardrobe. Building your Basic Classic Wardrobe is stage one of building the ultimate wardrobe. My first book outlines how to do so.
Step two – Stay updated on all things fashion.
The Achievable Fashion Site and Magazine are dedicated to keeping you in the updated on all things fashion. Not only do we keep you updated, but we also make adding current trends into your life easy and affordable!
This trend, graphic 60’s inspired pieces, was in the March issue of Elle. (Okay I am a bit behind – story of my life!)
I love these graphic dresses. They are fun, flirty, and work for most body types! Some of the dresses highlighted here are actually budget friendly. Check out the dress from ASOS! Be still my heart, something in a fashion magazine I can actually purchase! Okay let’s not get crazy there are only 2 dresses highlighted that won’t break the bank.
So as usual I have found many more for you to choose from!
Chunky Chains – Spring 2013
Okay, less in not more in the case of this springs chunky gold chains. Spring 2013 fashion trends have us adding more and more when it comes to chunky chains. I ripped this look out of the March issue of Elle.
I think this look is fun, unexpected and over the top! Love it!
Naturally the chunky chain designs highlighted in Bazaar Magazine are not as budget friendly as the masses need them to be. Are they ever? My goal is to bring the magazines to real women’s closets each month. I have found some fabulous choices for those of us who cannot spend a ton, including $575.00 on a pair of Giuseppe Zanolli sandals!
This trend is a bit pricier than others, especially if you would like to add chunky chain shoes to your spring 2013 wardrobe.
Mixing Prints : Done for You!
I love this top. Mixing prints is so hot right now, yet most of us are scared to death mix prints together. While perusing the JCP website for budget friendly spring 2013 trends I came across this beauty.
This top does the print mixing for us! With this top we are print mixing – one of this season’s hottest trends, but we don’t have to worry about seeing our photo in the how not to mix prints / when prints go wrong section!
Straw Bags – Not Just for the Beach Anymore!
Greetings,
Here is another trend I love from the April issue of Allure Magazine. The natural bag! There is nothing that says spring / summer than a natural bag. There was a time when these bags were for the beach only. Well I am happy to say these are not your Mama’s straw bags!
Naturally, the bags highlighted here are a bit over budget for us Achievable Fashion Ladies. So like always I have made it my job to source out straw bags that are on budget. After all, I live to make fashion achievable to all! If you flip through this Allure Magazine and like the look of the bags on this page, a closer look would have you believing this is a look you can’t achieve. Not the case at all.
Check out the selection of bags I found. Now, they aren’t the exact bags in the article, but they will help you achieve the same look.
Clear Heels – Spring 2013 Trend
Greetings,
I just flipped through this month’s Allure Magazine. By now you should know my gig is to find the best fashion information and report it on the Achievable Fashion Magazine. By best fashion information I mean useful fashion information. Let’s face it the fashion world caters to the ultra – rich and the ultra – thin so a lot of the fashion stuff out there does not apply to the masses and there for is non-useful.
After searching through sea of fashion info each month I report what I think real women – the masses can use. I found 2 trends in the Allure April issue that I think we can all add into our lives. The first trend is the clear heel. I love the look of this clear heel. Be careful with this trend, there is a fine line between trendy and trashy on this one. Just search clear shoe on Google and you will see what I mean.
Naturally the clear shoes that Allure highlighted come with hefty price tags, the least expensive is $325.00. From $325 the prices steadily climb until they reach $1195.00! Yikes! This is why I created Achievable Fashion, who can really spend $325 – $1195 on a pair of shoes that will most likely be out next season. I know I can’t.
I pride myself for bringing the runways, magazines and red carpets to average women’s closets. So like I always do, I have found some much cheaper clear heel shoe choices for you. Although the choices I found are much less than the shoes Allure magazine is showing, you will still have to pay a bit to add these to your wardrobe this season. Usually I like to find trends under $50 – making it very budget friendly, but with this one I could not.
Sometimes we just have to spend a bit more.
