Dear Caroline,
What do you suggest as an alternative to the shoulder bag?
We have all experienced the ease and security of going out with a shoulder bag. However, I am a bit over the whole look in general, and I feel like there are so many other purse options being neglected. To set yourself apart, I suggest an ultra, over-sized clutch. I have been seeing them everywhere, and they not only hold more than a mini shoulder bag, but they also instantly make you look delicate and ever-so-chic. Try an over-sized clutch of supple leather in a bright hue or shoot for a wilder look with an animal print or studded option.
3 Current Loves:
1) Stacked heavy metal
2) Floral Docs
3) Plush fur collars

Over the last few months, watches have been making a big statement as a trendy accessory that not only looks fabulous, but has a practical element as well! Big name designers like Michael Kors have been making quite a profit off their dazzling designs. However, if you are not looking to make a big investment but you are a fan of knowing at all times, well, what the time really is - check out these glam watches bound to make an impression.
1. Freestyle Shark Bling Watch - Since I was born and raised in a beach town, this type of watch is extremely popular where I'm from since they are not only adorable, but waterproof! Freestyle watches truly incorporate function with fashion, as most of their watches feature the time, an alarm setting, the date, a stopwatch and much more!
2. Fossil White Watch - White watches are extremely classy and can be the perfect addition to any outfit, turning simple into modern and chic.
3. Golden Toned Watch - Probably my favorite shade of all (I'm a big fan of anything sparkly!), a gold watch exudes all things luxurious and truly makes checking the time enjoyable.
With so many styles, brands, and designs to choose from, it should be simple sporting a fabulous watch that will keep you on track. Always remember - fashion is what you make it to be, and dress to be you! |

There's a reason why they call it "The Silver Screen". Since the birth of motion pictures, movies have brought entertainment and style inspiration to the masses. Below you'll find a list of the films that started style revolutions and continue to inspire designers, artists, and stylistas worldwide. So pop some popcorn and get to viewing some serious style.
#5. Annie Hall
In this Woody Allen classic, Diane Keaton makes tomboy style cool for the ladies. Collared shirts, bow ties, and lace up oxfords are all fair game.
#4. Some Like It Hot
Two words: Marylin Monroe
#3. Clueless
Remember platform flip flops? Belly shirts? Knee socks? Alicia Silverstone embodied '90s bubblegum style, causing teenagers everywhere to channel their inner valley girl.
#2. Marie Antoinette
Though it may be impractical to wear a hoop skirt and a bird cage hat on a day to day basis, this Sofia Coppola film is undoubtedly tres chic. Channel the tragic Queen with feminine frills and pastel hues.
#1. Breakfast at Tiffany's
Who can forget that LBD? A Givenchy-clad Audrey Hepburn captivated audiences and continues to be a style inspiration. There's a reason why Michael Kors admitted to making company employees watch every Audrey film.

Love 'em or leave 'em, these beauty trends dominated in 2011. Only time will tell which of these will be strong enough to come back in 2012. Which ones did you try out last year?
The Fishtail Braid
The French braid had some competition this year with the fishtail braid. This fishy braid was seen everywhere, from runways to red carpets to campuses across the country. Once this trend hit, tutorials flooded the internet to teach us all how to weave this seemingly complicated braid.
Pastel Streaks
Made famous by celebs such as Lauren Conrad and Katy Perry, these highlights were not crazy bright, appealing to girls who wanted to try something new but not too drastic. Colors such as pastel pink, light purple, sea foam green and light turquoise were seen in tresses all over the world this year.
Nail Art
Nails were definitely in the spotlight this year with the rising popularity of nail art. Runway shows started to display works of art not only on the clothes, but on the models' nails as well. Crackle polish, glitter, and matte topcoats were wildly popular this year, making the manicure fun again.
Bold Bun
In 2011, the bigger the bun, the better! This classy hairstyle was a throwback to ballet class and was seen on runways and red carpets alike. Women all over loved this look because it's very elegant, easy to do, and shows off your face. This look is also super versatile and can be worn on a night out or to class, adding to its popularity.
The Nude Nail
When nails weren't decorated with nail art, chances are they were nude. Shades of beige, tan, light pink, and soft gray were very popular because they offered a clean look that didn't show chips and could be worn with everything. This trend exploded because it could be worn on all different skin tones.
