Trend: Black and White

Now that we have entered 2013, I but you're all asking yourselves, so what should i wear this year? Well worry no more. One of the newest trends for this year is to wear black and white. It has been all over the runways, and now you can wear it too.
Black and white outfits may look formal but they can also look modern. Here is how to wear them.

Here, a model is wearing a beautiful black and white outfit on the runway. She wears it perfectly. The top half of the dress is white while the bottom half is black. This outfit is pure black and white, including the belt, which was cleverly added. This outfit works because the hair is simple and tied back. Also, the makeup is simple too.













Here is another example of a celebrity wearing black and white. This example is slightly more casual, however. Here, Kim Kardashion is wearing a white top with black skinny jeans topped with a black blazer and black high heels. Again, this outfit works because the accessories are simple as well as the hair and make up. But you may be thinking, this is all very well but aren't these a bit formal? How am I supposed to wear black and white to a casual outing? Here's how.









1.First, you wear a plain black or white hairband. I would recommend a black hairband for light hair and a white one for dark hair.
2. Next you wear black or white studs. Black studs for white hair bands, white studs for black hairbands
3. Now, wear a simple black and white top
4. Then wear black or white trousers/ skirt depending on the top you wear. Contrast is the best.
5. Finally, wear shoes that match with the colour of your trousers or skirt.

Tip:
1. If you feel self conscious about a part of your body, don't draw attention to it. White draws attention while black does the opposite. For example, if you have big hips and you DON'T want to draw attention to them, I would wear white trousers.

Rita Ora

Outfit 1: Here, Rita is wearing a simple beige knee length dress. This outfit works because it is worn will minimal accessories and her hair is simple and shoulder length so the outfit does the talking. Great job!

Outfit 2: This outfit is more fancy but can still be worn at SOME casual occasions. Here she is wearing a white blouse with patterns on it and a red short skirt. This outfit looks spectacular with the red lipstick and blond hair.

Rihanna

Outfit 1: This is a very casual outfit so it can be worn to casual occasions. Here she is wearing a yellow blouse with rolled-up sleeves and beat up blue demin shorts with brown ankle boots and sunglasses. This out is good because, as it is a casual outfit, it is worn with minimal accessories.

Outfit 2: Here RiRi is wearing a white blouse with rolled up sleeves and beat up skinny jeans with plain heels. This outfit works because she chose plain colours so they wouldn't over power her striking red hair.

So now we have the contenders for the title Fashionista of the Year. Find out soon whether your favourite has won the title.

Style Files: Young Hollywood (Part 2)

This is part two of style files: the young celebrity addition. Here, another three young celebs will be looked at to get your vote for Most Stylish Celebrity 2012 award.

Alyson Stoner: Alyson has been acting ever since she was a little girl and has always dressed to impress. Now that she's 19, this hasn't changed. As you can see, Alyson is wearing what looks like a t-shirt dress on the red carpet. Now you may be thinking, a t-shirt? On the red carpet? That can't be right! Well, think again. Something as simple as a t-shirt dress can be customised to be worn on the red carpet! Alyson is wearing green high heels to liven up the dress. In my opinion, it looks great but if i were to wear the exact same dress, i would have added golden hooped earings and a thin belt.

Rihanna: This outfit that Rihanna is wearing is so inexpensive and stylish, anyone can pull it off. All have to have is a white vest (a must for every girl) and a short pencil skirt. All of these things are what every girl should have in their wardrobe, so if you don't have them, GET BUYING! Rihanna teams this outfit up with blue animal print shoes. Simple or what?











Taylor Swift: Taylor Swift is known for being angelic, but outfits perfect? Let us see. Here, Taylor customises this drab checked shirt.....PERFECTLY! She teams up the shirt with black jeggings and pink flats. To customise the shirt, she adds a brown belt. PERFECT for casual outings!

Who wore it better (4)

For this round of Who Wore It Better, the two that are battling it out are...Brandy and Jennifer Stone! Let's begin.

Here they are both wear a silvery-black and blue dress that is quite short. Brandy's hair is past her shoulders which balances the shortness of the dress. She has also played it safe with the accessories and the ankle-boots by making them blend in with the outfit. Jennifer's hair is also a little past her shoulders and has used minimum accessories so the dress does the talking. The peep-toes shoes, unlike Brandy's, are black and simple. So who won? Drum roll please...in my opinion it was...Brandy. But they both look amazing with the dress on.

Get the look: China Anne Mcclain

As you may know, China Anne Mcclain is one of th stars of the hit Disney Channel series Ant Farm. She may be only 14 but she knows how to rock an outfit. Here is how you can get the look.

Here, China is wearing a tight black blazer with an ordinary brown t-shirt and red leather trousers with black boots. She has also got on a large gold necklace and a pink skinny belt. For you to pull of this look, you would need a tight black blazer. If you don't have one, don't fret! Just wear a black cardigan instead. Next, a brown or navy t-shirt. Every girl MUST have a brown, black, white or navy t-shirt. If you don't, get one! Now you need red leather trousers. Many of you may not want to wear leather so just wear red skinny/straight jeans. Black boots are also needed. Again, every girl MUST have black boots. Finally, if you want to add a little more to the outfit, wear a large gold necklace. Voila! Now you dress like China Anne Mcclain!

Trend: Blazers

Too cold to wear your tank top but too hot to wear you cardigan. Blazer are the way to go. You're probably thinking, aren't blazer out of style for this year? Well, despite what you are hearing, blazers are still in style. This is how you wear them.
Blazers are a great way to give your outfit a little umph. But it can easily destroy an outfit as well, so be careful. Today I will be talking about wearing a blazer with a dress, because that is the hardest to pull off.
A blazer looks best with a dress that is knee-length or longer. If you wear a dress even slightly higher, it would look like you are only wearing the blazer, so chose wisely.
Now to accessorise. A chunky bracelet with matching earrings look great. If want a bit more, wear a belt that complements the dress and the blazer at the waist. Don't go overboard with your accessories. You want the blazer to do the talking, not anything else.
Check out these celebrities rocking the look.

Style Files: Young Hollywood (Part 1)

In this addition of style files, we won't only be talking about one person. We will be talking about a bunch of young celebrities, meaning under 25s. So let us begin.

 Ariana Grande: Although she is only 19 years old, she is a style icon. Check her out. I love this outfit because you can wear it any where. On the left, she is wearing a white of-shoulder top with black leather leggings and brown boots. She chose the right outfit for her features. Having striking red hair, the hair can easily draw the attention away from her clothes. But she has evened it out perfectly.




Bella Thorne: Actress. Model. Could there be a description more stylish? She lives up to her description too! Wearing a hand less pink number, her sharp collar bones could not be more obvious. But in a good way. Her accessories are toned down and her shoes are kind of hidden, so the dress does the talking. She also has one very common accessory, a smile!



Debby Ryan: Being star of many teen TV shows, she knows her stuff about style. Wearing a dual colour dress, she looks amazing! Her accessories look great with her outfit. And her strappy heels wraps up the outfit beautifully.
