Here Comes Homecoming

The 2018-2019 school year is almost here, which means homecoming is on its way and it’s time to start thinking about your homecoming plans. What are you going to wear to homecoming? Who will you go with? Friends? Your crush? Homecoming, unlike prom, is open to everyone including underclassmen and school alumni. Typically taking place in September or October, it is a fun way to welcome everyone back to school. For the community the big homecoming game or parade is the main event while most students live for the dance. Shutterstock Image Shutterstock Image Shutterstock Image Shutterstock Image Shutterstock Image Shutterstock Image The homecoming dance resembles baby prom. Kings and queens are crowned and there is much pomp and circumstance, but the dress code and themes tend to be much more casual. Typically, girls wear shorter party dresses for homecoming and boys might wear just a button down rather than a suit or tux. Creative types may even find themselves dressing to match the theme. Shutterstock Image Shutterstock Image Shutterstock Image Shutterstock Image Shutterstock Image Whatever you wear, don’t forget to pair with a smile, it is the perfect way to steal the scene for Homecoming 2018! Stay tuned for our next post and a look at our top trending homecoming dresses!

What to Wear on a Vacation to Italy Part 1

Remember the magical Dutch village we introduced before? This time we find our Ever-Pretty beauty Larisa in Alberobello (Italian: ; literally “beautiful tree”), a fairytale small town in the region of Puglia, southern Italy. Larisa added it to her bucket list a long time ago and finally made the trip! Shutterstock Image You will think you stepped right into a fairy tale when you see the adorable white houses of this magical Italian town. The characteristic white-washed and conical-roofed houses are dotted everywhere around you. These unique and historical houses have another name — trullo (plural trulli). These trulli have been designated as a UNESCO World Heritage site since 1996. The trulli make look make believe but once you take a closer look, you will find that these small white houses are real and the local inhabitants still live in them. Shutterstock Image Shutterstock Image Shutterstock Image Shutterstock Image Our Ever-Pretty beauty Larisa chose an easy and delicate long polka dot dress to wear in this magical town because she thought this dreamlike dress was perfect for this fairytale place. Almost everyone stopped and took a picture of Larisa when she wore this gorgeous dress that day in Alberobello.

Taylor Swift is Back with Her Signature Red Lipstick

Taylor Swift adopted a penchant for red lipstick since she published her third album Speak Now in 2010. She said that she was a red lipstick hoarder and she loves the color so much that she even sung about it in her songs several times. “You got that James Dean daydream look in your eye. And I got that red lip, classic things that you like.” From the song Style on her fifth album 1989. However, in the last few years she’s strayed from her signature look as she experimented with her image and music. Many of her fans missed their idol’s signature look and Taylor is never one to disappoint her fans. She was seen sporting her signature red pout again when her Reputation Stadium Tour began on May 8, 2018. Since then she’s rarely been spotted without the red lipstick, even when she’s going to or coming from the recording studio and gym. Let check out some Taylor’s latest street style looks! It is worth mentioning that Taylor’s makeup and overall look at the 2018 Billboard Music Awards was very reminiscent of her look at the 2010 Billboard Music Awards. This drove her fans crazy because maybe the old Taylor really can come to the phone. Taylor proves that red lipstick never goes out of style! And of course we think Taylor Swift looks stunning no matter what shade her pout is painted. What do you think? Tell us in the comments below!

What Color Should I Wear?

With so many options to pick from, choosing a color to wear can be tricky. So we are here with a color guide to help you select the ideal tone for your next event. Shutterstock Image 1. Determine Your Skin’s Undertone Undertone means exactly what it sounds like. The tones underneath the surface of your skin are referred to undertones. Picking the right color for your complexion depends on whether you have cool, warm or neutral undertones. Shutterstock Image Pay attention to the veins of your palm or wrist. People with cool undertones have blue or purple veins, while people with warm undertones have veins that are green-looking. If you can’t determine the color of your veins, or if blue/purple and green are both represented, you probably have a neutral skin tone. 2. Chose a Color Based on Your Skin’s Undertone A rule of thumb is that cool colors have a blue tint, while warm colors have a yellow one. Shutterstock Image Cool Undertones Fresh pink, ice blue (light blue) and purple are the most flattering colors if you have cool undertone. The cool tone will compliment your skin and give you a vibrant look for your next event. Ever Pretty Flowy Multi Layer Long Bridesmaid Dress Ever Pretty Women’s Elegant Sleeveless Long Evening Party Dress Shutterstock Image Warm Undertones For warm-toned beauties, corals, orange and red with orange tints are the perfect match. These warm tones will accentuate your features and brighten you up. Shutterstock Image Shutterstock Image Shutterstock Image However, not all colors meant for cool/warm skin will look good on you, nor are you only limited to these colors. You should still try them on to see what looks best on you. Neutral Undertones Fashionistas with neutral undertones have a wide selection of colors to choose from, as you look great in most colors! Ever Pretty Strapless High Low A Line Party Dress Ever Pretty Off Shoulder Long Bridesmaid Dress Ever Pretty Sleeveless V-Neck Semi-Formal Maxi Dress Ever Pretty Short Halter Lace Summer Dress Ever Pretty Off-the-Shoulder Sweetheart Neckline Dress Nevertheless, if you have a little more ‘cool’ in your neutral mix, or a touch extra ‘warm’ in the balance, try selecting colors that flatter your predominant skin tone to really enhance all your best features!

Summer 2018’s 6 Biggest Trends

Summer is here, don’t you want to update your wardrobe? Get some inspirations from the biggest fashion runway. We’ve rounded up the 6 hottest summer trends that will have a big influence on your wardrobe choice this summer! 1. PASTELS Here we’re talking about a fantastic ice cream looking color palette. The runways have proved the power of pastel head-to-toe rather than accenting or accessorizing a look with a single piece. Express your sweet side with good-enough-to-eat ice cream colors. Consider tailoring in ice cream hues or wearing them in unexpected ways. 2. DEMIN Nothing new, as denim never goes out of fashion. However, there is no such thing as too much this summer. Try doubling denim, tripling denim and going for a head-to-toe look if you dare! 3. PLASTIC Coats, dresses and knee-high boots that can be wiped clean are now officially a thing. Plastic in varying shades will be everywhere in 2018. Is there a chicer way to battle the inclement weather with these plastic fashion items? 4. SHEER Transparency is always a trend on the runways. Sheer dresses, skirts and coats all reveal underwear that is meant to be seen. But to be honest, this trend is harder to pull on off the runway. If you want to keep pace with the sheer trend without exposing yourself at the same time, strategically placed sheer elements are a better way to go rather than head to toe sheer. 5. CHECKS Whether it’s a complicated gingham or classic tartan print, checks are one of the hottest trends this summer. Checks are everywhere and they are all-match. Whip out your favorite checked dresses this summer. 6. RUFFLES Ruffles added a feminine air yet again this summer. Add them in unexpected places for a look that is high fashion meets street style this summer.

What to Wear to a Beach or Pool Party

The beach and pool are a great way to escape the heat of summer, but if you are not in the mood to wear a swimsuit in public, you can opt for a fun summer dress.

A maxi dress with a sultry low back, a casual sundress with flat sandals, or shorts and a top with wedges are all perfect choices for the occasion!

Style it with a sun hat or cool sunglasses to complete the look.
