Accessory Close-up: SCARVES

To the luckier Fashion Followers that live in nice weather, this post will not apply to you guys. However, for New Yorkers/northeast coasters - January and February are the coldest months of winter. And while the spring trends are starting to creep out, people on the East Coast are still looking for warm clothes to stay bundled up.

I had a request by a follower who lives in New York that wanted to see what cute scarves are in fashion this winter. It might be a little late to be posting this, but since there are still very cold days to come – I thought it would still be a useful post to those who won’t be feeling spring weather anytime soon.

I searched affordable cute scarves and found that Forever21 has a vast assortment that you can choose from. Out of the bunch I found, I picked out different colors and prints to show their variety and tried to appeal to everyone’s tastes.

The prices of each scarf range from about $9.80 - $16.80 

What do you all think? Would you rock any of these scarves?

Fashion Fix Advertisement Project

Hey Fashion Followers, 

Lately I have been caught up in editing pictures and adding 'Anna's Fashion Fix' logo to see what it might look like if I actually had professional advertisements. I have to say it is extremely fun, and before I know it, I have 20 different editions of one picture. Then, I can't choose which one is my favorite because I just love them all. They each have their own individual flare. So far I have four different pictures, with like twenty versions of each of the four.  Obsessed much? From a positive perspective, I am not completely wasting my time. I am getting a degree in advertising - so let's just say I am further practicing my craft. :-)

Anyway, I thought I would share them all here - to see what you all think - I would love to hear your opinions and feedback!

Celebrity Outfit of the Day for Le$$ - Mash Up!

Hello Fashion Followers,
Happy Monday Morning, What a good start to my week so far. A brand-spanking new post! In this post i've mixed up two-in-one. The celebrity style for LE$$ and outfit of the day. It goes like this; I show a celeb outfit, and instead of showing you pieces of clothing where to buy each piece, I'll be wearing the similar outfit already, to show you how you can achieve a similar look!


Keep in mind that I know my outfit doesn't match 100%, but I do that purposely. If there is something that I love about a celeb outfit, I always like to put my own twist into it. And remember: It's not about looking exactly the same, it's about having a similar sophisticated celebrity style. Who says us poor folk can't look like a million bucks!? lol :-)

The one difference I wanted to change was the darker jean. Since I was going to a fancy restaurant that night, I think darker jeans are really classy looking, and very slimming. Since my scarf has darker shades of brown and black, I opted for a black undershirt and tall black boots to play off the scarf. Beyonce's overall outfit can be worn more as day-wear. With a see-through scarf, and simple white tee, and playful brown boots. 

I also thought my big hoop earrings made the whole outfit. The gold tone looks great next to the red blazer and picks up on the light brown tones in the scarf as well. 

The two important pieces to achieve this look:

1. Red Blazer

+

2. The leopard Scarf

Saying Goodbye to 2011.

Hello Fashion Followers, 
I know what a bad person I have been with not keeping up with my blog. But I have a completely logical reason for why I haven't updated in so long. First, there was the chaos I'd like to call 'Finals Week.' It was a really hard semester so I really had to give 110% to that. Then, of course I had to pack to go home to NY for Christmas for a very short 3-week visit. I am usually there for 2 months, so I would've had plenty of time to update...Being that it was short and sweet, i spent most of my time away from the computer, and with family and friends. 


I am happy that 2011 has come and gone. I think it was a weird year. Nothing really spectacular happened, except the creation of this blog, of course. :-) I am hopeful for great things to come this year. I'm Graduating in June, and I am moving back to New York for good. And once I move back I hope to start a new health regime to workout my body and mind. Eating clean, fitness and dancing, and having time to work on my spirituality. I know that sounds funny, but there is nothing better than having a clear, peaceful mind to give you the motivation to enjoy the moments of every-day life. 


Lastly, I hope 2012 will bring more fashion updates and exciting new trends! 
See you all in the next post, and Happy New Year!

Celebrity Style for Le$$!

Hello Fashion Followers,

It's that time again for a Celeb Style for less! My absolute fav post! These posts are actually harder than they seem, but I think I managed with what I had to work with as best as I could. I am pretty happy with the outcome! 

What do you all think? I have another cute outfit by Rihanna I will post soon! 

Click for Larger Image

1. Charlotte Russe: Grey cowl-neck sweater -              $20.99

2. Celeb Boutique: Zig-Zag printed leggings -            $64.00

3. Zara: Leather pointed toe heels -                            $67.50

4. Forever 21: Feather drop earrings -                          $5.80

5. Zara: *Leather Chelsea boot* -                            $106.00

**I put an alternative shoe for the outfit because you can really change up this look with many ways and still have it look really good. But for the sake of the post we have to mimic the style shown. However I think a leather chelsea boot would look really good here, or even a colored heel to give a POP of color. 

Since the sweater is really low-cut you can also wear an exaggerated long necklace. If you decided to do this, you take away the dangle earrings because you don't want too much jewelry it will start to look gaudy. That might also take away from the leggings, which is the conversation/accessory piece of the entire outfit. 

With that, I hope you guys are having a fun Saturday night for me, since i'm home trying to get something done, but not accomplishing much. 

Until next time, ~Happy Shopping!

OH! And we finally have reached the month of December, this is a very exciting time for family and love! I'll be home for Christmas in about 2 weeks, and it couldn't come soon enough!
