Alissa is proof

I have no idea how I came across Alissa’s blog. Most likely thru some drunken 4am Internet surfing, but I am so glad I did. She and I are polar opposites visually, but I get an unbelievable amount of inspiration from looking at how she dresses herself.Alissa is proof that all you were taught about dressing as a plus size woman should be thrown out the window. moncler outlet Prints? Color? Sleeveless? DON’T MIND IF I DO.

Lauren’s blog is a dreamy mix of her own outfit posts and beautiful inspiration photos. She really has a great eye and knows how to manipulate mood and feeling with photos. The girl is a born editor.I love the ethereal stream of consciousness feeling that runs through her pages; it’s like being a fly on the wall of her mind. When she posts an outfit, she gives you the backstory of how she came to put it together plus a little glimpse of what’s going on in her life.

I learned this the hard way when I bought a dress from a retailer that was slightly too snug in the bodice, moncler down jackets sale and upon attempting to exchange it I was told that the policy was to return only and that I’d have to then repurchase.  This would not technically be a problem except that I wouldn’t be able to get the same coupon I had used on the dress before ($30 off) and would have to pay full price. If I had paid attention to the return policy before purchase, I might have weighed buying the dress more carefully.

L.A.-based blogger

The 27-year-old Italian, who now lives in Los Angeles, has the broadest reach of any individual fashion blogger on our list, with more than 3 million Instagram followers. She's a global star, as popular in Europe as she is in the U.S. What's more, links from her site drive traffic and conversions, according to many of the brands with whom she has partnered. cheap moncler on sale She was also recently named to an expert panel that will help determine the shortlist for 2015's LVMH Prize. Oh, and she graced the cover of Lucky magazine's February issue along with fellow bloggers Nicole Warne and Zanita Whittington.


Yet another L.A.-based blogger, Nguyen, 31, is best known for her YouTube channel, which currently boasts 600,000-plus subscribers. (Her 2011 video, "25 Ways to Tie a Scarf" has been viewed over 29 million times.) Nguyen's point of view is unique in that she grew up in the foster system, and has opened up about her experiences to her readers. Nikki's blog is really straightforward and full of flawless styling suggestions. I like that Nikki mixes photos of her own daily wardrobe in with pages that show styling options for how to wear current trendy items you may already own or be thinking of purchasing.

Continuing in our annual-ish tradition, today we're releasing our 2015 ranking of the most influential personal style bloggers in the world. This list looks wildly different than it did in 2013. Here's why. For one, we excluded every blogger who has expanded her empire to the point that the blog is no longer only about her. (Leandra Medine, cheap moncler jackets Garance Dore and Emily Weiss fall into this category.) We also chose to focus on those who write more about personal style than anything else. (That means leaving out lifestyle and photography bloggers.) We took more international bloggers into consideration, since the Internet is global and all. And we narrowed it down to blogs that cover womenswear more regularly than menswear.

Nikki blog

Seeing nothing but a blogger’s own self in an endless parade of similar outfits often tires me out. A lot of Nikki's posts are geared toward ideas of what to wear to specific events such as a bachelorette party, a wedding or a weekend at the county fair. moncler outlet I think a lot of people are stumped as to what's appropriate for various occasions, and Nikki does an immaculate job of giving clean, classic, interesting ideas. Her style reminds me of our own lovely Madeline's: colorful, snappy, spunky and polished!

Personal style bloggers sometimes get a bad rap -- caricatured as pretty, brainless girls who dress up for their camera-wielding boyfriends and post their results to a WordPress blog. But over the past decade, these independent publishers have become a real force in the fashion industry -- not just snapping up front row seats at fashion shows, but landing major campaigns and collaborations with brands, becoming regular guests on TV shows like "Today" and "America's Next Top Model," and turning their cheap moncler jackets blogs into multimillion-dollar businesses. Some have become household names.

Why couldn’t IFB have instead held up Stylish Curves as a perfect example of someone putting in the hard work and providing useful content? In their diatribe on why bloggers who don’t fit the classic “thin, white, pretty” mold don’t get the attention they deserve, they overlooked a golden opportunity to spotlight those who are in fact breaking said mold.

Airport travel OOTD + the best holiday weekend sales

Happy Sunday! Just landed in San Francisco, my home away from home, and am indulging in all of the amazing & diverse food this city offers. I posted this simple look on Instagram and wanted to quickly answer some fit questions on each piece. This tunic sweater is on double sale right now and runs true to size - it's the perfect length for covering up the crotch area, and I love that the sleeve length actually fits shorter arms! There is a small triangular piece of fabric lining the inside, behind the lace-up detail, which keeps your chest area completely covered up. You can cut this piece out if desired, as not much skin is bared even without it.

I wanted to get a second pair of Zella's awesome live-in leggings, and saw this new "midi" length with a 24.5" inseam. It hits right below the ankle for someone my height without alterations needed, and has the same flattering mid rise and reversible fabric as the original live-ins. Last but not least, I can't get enough of these chestnut suede ankle booties. If you have narrow ankles and hate the feeling of them swishing around in gaping ankle openings, these boots fit slim across the top and are very leg-flattering as a result. The fit is true to size - I'm usually between 5 and 5.5, and found a 5 to fit best with thin socks on.

Photographed fashion style in the world

Photographed at home by Annie Leibovitz, Obama wears pieces by Carolina Herrera and Atelier Versace, styled by Tonne Goodman. This is Obama's third time sitting as Vogue's cover star: her first issue debuted in March 2009, with her second in April 2013. In the accompanying interview, Obama speaks on her well-documented fashion choices from the last eight years — which were sometimes considered "risky" — saying: "It all boils down to comfort level: moncler outlet,  If I'm going to make you comfortable, then I have to be comfortable first. So my first reaction isn't 'Who made this?' But 'Let's try it on.

What does it look like? Oooh, that's cute. Oh, wow. I never thought of wearing something like this. Let's put a belt on it. I feel gooood in this.' There are definitely designers that I love, people I love to work with. And who they are as people matters. Are they good people? Do they treat their staff well? Do they treat my staff well? Are they young? Can I give them a boost? But! When all of that is equal ... is it cute?!"

In a statement to the Wall Street Journal's Sara Germano (which she shared on Twitter), New Balance reportedly is in support of Donald Trump's impending presidency. However, in an updated piece published 10 hours after the original story (linked below), the activewear brand shared an exclusive statement expressing the following: "As the only major company that still makes athletic shoes in the United States, moncler sale has a unique perspective on trade and trade policy in that we want to make more shoes in the United States, not less. New Balance publicly supported the trade positions of Hillary Clinton, Bernie Sanders and Donald Trump prior to election day that focused on American manufacturing job creation and we continue to support them today."

The fruit ---fashion

The fruit of this partnership is "Allure Unbound," an app which launches alongside the December issue. Readers will be able to scan various pages throughout the magazine to get an interactive experience, whether it's taking a selfie alongside Hadid herself, shopping the collaboration or seeing behind-the-scenes video of the shoot. moncler jackets outlet, And because publishing brands are always looking for new ways to make their print content shareable, all of the features can be easily posted to the readers' social media channels.

Sure, we're all glued to our phones/tablets/laptops/watches that barely tell time, but even the best of us miss out on some important #content from time to time. That's why, in case you missed it, we've rounded up our most popular stories of the week to help you stay in the loop. No need to thank us — just toast a brunch mimosa in our honor when you're discussing who did what over your avocado toast.   

She also talks candidly about her time in the White House, and her position as a role model for future generations — something that's affectionately earned her the title of "Mom-in-Chief" to many. "Kids are watching us, I experience it every single day. They hang on my every word, what I wear, cheap moncler down jackets sale, what I say," she tells the magazine. "But that means something to me. Maybe because I still have kids and I know that they're influenced by people they look up to, but it makes us want to live right and do right and be right — Every. Single. Day — so that we don't ever disappoint these kids and they have something to hold on to, and so that they know — as I say all the time — I can do this. You can do this." BRB, crying.

Continuing in our annual-ish tradition, today we're releasing our 2015 ranking of the most influential personal style bloggers in the world. cheap moncler jackets, This list looks wildly different than it did in 2013.

Peaceful protests on Fifth Avenue in response to Donald Trump's election have made shopping difficult along the popular New York thoroughfare. Though no retailers have offered concrete numbers of how sales were impacted over the weekend, police barricades surrounding marching protesters made it difficult to enter the stores.Sixty-three of Kenneth Cole's brick-and-mortar retail locations will be shut down over the next six months, moncler jackets sale though it will continue to sell through other retailers. According to CEO Marc Schneider, the brand will re-focus its efforts on its "online and full-price retail footprint."

As it turns out, having a cover star booked so far in advance ended up being a huge boon to both Lee and Allure. The publication was meeting with advertisers about the possibility of partnering on a unique augmented reality app for the magazine; Tommy Hilfiger — a brand with a long relationship with Allure, who just happened to have a collaboration with Hadid — was already slated to cover the magazine. Thanks to a fragrance deal with Hadid and Hilfiger, moncler down jackets, Estée Lauder came on board, as well. The stars aligned.

Instagram feeds

Behind nearly all of those stunning foodie Instagram feeds is a pro who styles and shoots her food with lighting and backdrops and all kinds of props. But Jane Ko is a restaurant blogger, so she takes her food pics like the rest of us do: in the restaurant. She can't bring fancy lights with her. She'll get yelled at if she climbs up on a chair for the perfect shot (though she does it sometimes anyway).

And Jane she didn't start off as a great photographer. She's entirely self-taught, and her talk at the BlogHerFood16 conference in Austin earlier this month, Jane confessed to a very relatable phase where she got way too filter-happy. But now, her Insta feed is gorgeous proof that as long as you stay with it and continue shooting photos over time, they will get better — especially if you follow these four tips:
Tell a story with styling

Think about your photo even before you take out your phone. What's in the background? Jane believes in showing who's eating: a friend reaching in to take the first bite of that taco, a friends at brunch with hands digging in, or your kids running around in the background. Those details tell a story—and stories connect people to you.
Natural lighting is your best friend

Natural light makes way prettier photos than flash, but it's hard to get in restaurants. Jane's bold: She'll walk her plate over to a window, even if she wasn't seated there. She also eats a lot of daytime meals, so she can chase that light.

moncler outlet will cast hard shadows on your subject, so if you're outside, find a spot with shade. And the holy grail of natural lighting is open windows with sheer white curtains. They're the perfect combo of Choose your perspective

Try shooting from the top down, to show the whole table. Jane's willing to climb up on a chair to make that happen (but if you have a DSLR camera, just hold it really high and flip the screen out toward you so you can see).

Shooting at eye level can makes people really want to eat what you're holding. Jane likes to hold food out in front of her, and she's bold about asking random people to stand behind her and take the shot for her.

This is what we call fall coverage. As in, we’ve got you covered in a seriously sexy fur lined jacket. Yes, the faux fur trim is to keep you warm, but it also lends a luxurious feel to an otherwise basic jacket. This piece is key for transitional fall weather because it’s perfect for layering. On a hot day, pair it with an airy blouse to keep you cool, and when it’s feeling brisk, pair it with a turtleneck to keep you bundled up.

Fall weather happens. The days are getting shorter and the temperature is on the decline. Not only is it sad to say goodbye to summer, but dressing for fall is a serious struggle. Cold outside, hot inside: how are we supposed to function? It’s time for a new strategy. Our transitional outerwear will take you through the summer mourning process and you’ll never find yourself wondering “what should I wear today” again.


NEW FASHION CLOTHING

I like how clean and classic the blouse is, but how that little detail sets it quietly apart from other basics. It's a very verastile piece to add to any wardrobe, so I couldn't resist styling it three different ways. My favorite look is this first style; mixing Eilidh's embroidered detail with an older embroidered shift dress from my closet.

Fall weather happens. The days are getting shorter and the temperature is on the decline. Not only is it sad to say goodbye to summer, but dressing for fall is a serious struggle. Cold outside, hot inside: how are we supposed to function? It’s time for a new strategy. Our transitional outerwear will take you through the summer mourning process and you’ll never find yourself wondering “what should I wear today” again.

A new pair of overalls! I got these while I was stateside last month and have been wearing them all of the time since then--in part because I hadn't packed much in my closet and they kept my warm, but I'm a bit addicted. When you wear skirts and dresses all of the time you often forget how liberating it can be to move around in jeans! These are so comfy and really add a playful charm to the blouse. It's a style that is a little less typically "me" but I'm really enjoying at the moment.

There’s nothing worse than slipping on your winter jacket to brave the morning cold, only to sweat through your day when the sun comes out. Meet the wool maxi coat. This wool coat is the perfect addition to your outfit, whatever the fall weather. It’s basically the middle ground between bundling up and dressing down. With its chic camel color and flattering silhouette, you’ll never go wrong- you can put this coat over everything.
