Fashionably Geeked: polyvore

Han Solo and Princess Leia

As promised, here are the next two sets inspired by Star Wars characters. I guess it's turning into a series, so I'll be putting the rest under the label of "Star Wars Saga."

Han Solo by lovecrys featuring skull jewelry

~~Indiana Jones~~ Han Solo is a legendary character, known for his sarcasm, effortless cool, and his ever-present handgun. This outfit is easy to move in (more ease in getting around the galaxy in that Millenium Falcon!) while still maintaining some of that cool toughness Han exudes.

Princess Leia by lovecrys featuring bustier tops

Leia Organa is incredibly intelligent and outspoken. Even she, however, found herself held captive and enslaved by Jabba the Hutt. Leia's metal bikini is one of the most famous outfits in cinematic history. I admit, I didn't quite know what to do with this iconic outfit, but I like the result :)

Personally, Han's outfit is my favorite. What's yours??

Summer 2012: Colors and Patterns

Summer 2012: Colors and Patterns by lovecrys featuring pink shorts

Neons, florals, ombre, and mint are everywhere this summer. Which one is your favorite?

Floral Pants

Florals are a huge trend this spring/summer and to me, at least, the most difficult way to pull it off is on your legs. You want to make a statement without looking like you're wearing a kaleidoscope. So...I've injected a few other trends, a touch of elegance, and boom! Here's how Fashionably Geeked would do floral pants! Enjoy.

Ten Things You'll Want This Spring: April Edition

Ten Things You'll Want This Spring: April Edition by lovecrys featuring a silk dress

1. Floral Shorts: Floral prints are going to be very big this spring/summer. Wear them in short form with a pretty top for maximum effect.

2. Pastel Pants: You've probably already seen pastel pants in the displays of every store from Forever21 to Banana Republic. Mint is my personal favorite, although it can be daunting to wear. Pair it with a white top if you're nervous, or go for pastel color blocking and rock it with peach ;)

3. Sheer Black: I'm sure the last thing you thought about when I said Spring was black. But something that's black and sheer can be very spring-like, especially at night. Wear it with a bright bottom.

4. Clear Umbrella: April showers bring May flowers. Clear umbrellas are so cute and they keep the rain off of your head!

5. Jean Shirt: These have been making a comeback over the past year. You can go for the gusto and wear it with a different colored pair of jean pants, or wear with black, white, or colored pants if you're not up for the risk.

6. White Silk Blouse: A staple you should have in your closet already. It goes with everything.

7. Retro Sunnies: I'm a big fan of retro. I'm also a big fan of sunglasses. I have five or six littering my room already. Plus they spice up any look.

8. Yellow Rain Boots: I'll admit, I've been looking for these everywhere. They remind me of the Morton Salt Girl and I've wanted them since I was little. The ones above have the added advantage of a lace-up front and a subtle wedge for a shorty like me :)

9. Color-Blocked Dress: Color blocking is still in! If you have some trouble pairing things, or want something more subtle than two clashing brights, pick a dress with similar but different colors.

10. Studded Jackets: If you've seen my youtube channel, you know that I LOVE studs. If you can't find/can't afford a studded jacket, buy you're own studs and display your inner DIY goddess!

I meant to do another outfit post this week, but I've been sick. So, instead, here's another polyvore set for you guys to enjoy!

A Steampunk New Year's

So, I tried to come up with a New Year's themed outfit. I started with the shirt, but somehow it turned kind of steampunk-ish. I'd still wear it though :)

An American in Paris: How to dress Parisian Chic!

During a brief foray into Parisian fashion, I discovered something: Parisians are not trendy (insert shocked gasp here). They are classically and effortlessly fashionable, but they do not follow trends, and they will look down on you if you come to their city dressed like a trendy American tourist.

Here's how to go to Paris dressed like a Parisian (alternatively, if you want to stand out or don't care what they think, then hey, do you!)

1. Stripes!
Parisians love their black and white stripes. Wear a nice striped shirt and you'll be effortless.

2. Subtlety is key.
Colors in Paris tend to be subtle. They favor blacks, browns, and greys. To spice it up, often a "pop" of color is worn, like a purple scarf or red shoe.

From Runway to Reality: The Bright Pant

As summer comes to a close, it's time to start looking at fall fashions. During the most recent fall/winter fashion shows, we saw designers re-vamping many new trends, including the Bright Colored Pants.
