Aero for Guys

Aeropostale has some really bright-colored Guys' Tops this spring - their Graphic tees, for example, are great to wear on a chill day, especially the surf ones.  

Crop Tops - so in for March!

Crop tops never cease to amaze me - They look sexy and amazing on some girls, ill-fitting on others, and plain slutty on the rest. But if you know you look hot in crop tops, check this Bluebirds Cropped Tank out from Wildfox Couture. It costs $58 and is also available in my preferred option, DNVY (see title link), but is definitely worth it for a weekend or Thursday night out. If you're like me and don't have washboard abs, try pairing it with a skin-colored tank top (not white, since that just looks prudish).

Holiday chocolates!

Here are some awesome chocolates for the holidays that you can find in the clearance sections now that it's January (see title link)! I love the red velvet ones with red sprinkles on top - if you have just a few at a time, you won't bloat up or gain weight, but still benefit from the antioxidants in dark chocolate to get great skin. Remember to have small ones - no bigger than the top half of your thumb.

Chanel Haute Couture

Emma Stone is gorgeous in pink at the Los Angeles premiere of The Help on August 9 (see title link). She's wearing a top from Chanel's Couture collection of this past spring, but it's her twisted updo that really does the talking. It's so complicated! I tried pulling off a similar style for New Year's Eve by twisting random sections of my hair and bobby-pinning them, but that didn't work.

Nike for Women

On one hand, I hate endorsing Nike products here because of their inhumane practices in the manufacturing process. But in terms of practicality, their athletic clothing for women is top-notch. The Nike Pro Hyperwarm Crew Training Top is excellent for this time of year, with soft, dri-fit spandex to keep your sweat off and fitting snugly, so you have a full range of motion and retained heat. Love the long sleeves! Purple is my favorite color so I chose the Bold Berry/White combo, but there are several to choose from for $50 each (see title link). No chafing!

Asos - Sheer Perfection

Asos makes some adorable sheer tops! This one is $51 and is available on their website (see title link). Such a pretty yellow, too!

Nike's comfy sports bras

When I work out, I like to wear a sports bra to give me some extra support. Some women can rock just those without shirts, but I'm definitely not jacked enough to do that. So I need a bra that feels good, rather than just looking good. Nike's bras are great for that, and provide a great top to your workout clothing (see title link).

Landon Liboiron's suprisingly unisex style

I found this on the Men's Section of Obey Clothing's website, but the Belmont Knit Top is honestly a great part of their Tops collection that is perfect for women as well. Slightly pricey at $43, but it's lightweight and looked awesome on Terra Nova's Landon Liboiron in a magazine, who claims in an interview that "love is like a bee" because it can "sting when it hurts" but also be the most beautiful thing in the world (see title link).

Look cute with plain

You know what makes the most truly beautiful look celebs be the way they are? The fact that they look gorgeous in basics. Find your own style soul mate and grab some inspiration. A plain top can go a long way when it's carefully selected, and it doesn't have to cost you, either. This Dotted Swiss Woven top, from Forever 21, costs just $18 and can be dressy! The split round neck and four buttons give it that unique oomph factor without trying too hard. Cap sleeves look nice and girly, and the smocked waist slims you up (see title link)!

New sweater for fall

Check out this peekaboo lace top I found! It's on sale for $25 at American Eagle Outfitters. The top is called their Off-Shoulder Lace Inset T (see title link), and is part of their T's and Polos collection. The campus blue color shown here is awesome! Super sexy. Has a great jersey texture that gives a relaxed fit. The ribbed neck is nice and casual as well, and the floral taping at the inner neck is simply fabulous. With coverstitched cuffs and hem, and the standard eagle embroidery.

Tommy Girl at Macy's

While I'm not usually into plaid or collared button-down shirts on girls, I have come to realize that what may not look good on me can work well on many other people. So I decided to branch out and share this shirt I spotted at Macy's, created by Tommy Girl. The plaid shirt is a great top, called the Long Sleeve Point Collar Buttoned Plaid Oxford Shirt, and is on sale now for $39.99 (see title link). Great for the preppiest of people, it's machine washable and has cuffed long sleeves. There's two front flapped pockets at the bust as well, and a rounded hem.

Modcloth!

I finally discovered some treasures on Modcloth! This top from Line & Dot costs $58 and is a blouse called the Dot Com Darling Top (see title link). Beware: it's semi-sheer, but it comes with an adorable curved hem and back V-Neck, along with chest pockets. It is a button-down.

H&M Tank

Check out this cute H&M tank! Just $5.95 and the Red color is great on this top. Candy lips would match perfectly with the fitted stretch jersey material (see title link)!

Classic black

Lauren Conrad got it just right when she wore her L*Space Sensual Solids Twisted Top to a pool party she hosted in Las Vegas (see title link). You can get her look too for just $56, featuring a twisted detail, tie closure at the neck and back, and gold metal strep detail. Black bikini tops are ALWAYS great go-tos. The mineral bronzer looks great on her as well, and she manages to pull it off without looking muddy.

Bikini time

Personally I'm not into prints, but I felt it was unfair to leave them out of this blog. So the one place I can accept wacky designs is swimwear. Billabong does it just right here with their Ginger Bandeau (see title link). The top costs $37 and has a cute paisley design. The coral makes your skin look tan, too, so you're beach-ready.

Gorgeous Top

Here's a cute Forever 21 top I saw Alison wearing on Pretty Little Liars once (see title link). The Cayli Tiered Top costs $29.80 and looks amazing in the Burgundy shade. The beautiful, faceted jewels and beadwork scream the "I'm better than you" look and is guaranteed to get you noticed on a Saturday night.

Cheer

I usually don't have much of an appreciation for cheerleading, but these uniforms on the CW show Hellcats caught my eye. Check out the top on Aly Michalka (see title link)! She looks stunning.
Yes, I'll admit it, I Hulu-surf a LOT. And this show is definitely a guilty pleasure.

J. Crew

A short-sleeve white tee is so crucial for a wardrobe. I like this top from J. Crew (see title link). It's their Tissue Crewneck tee and is $29.50. It's super-soft, white, and gorgeous! I saw it on Ashley Tisdale.

Madonna style

Want an edgy look to your fashion taste this summer/fall? If you want to transition smoothly between seasons and still look like a rock star, try this top from Material Girl (see title link), which is a line developed by Madonna for Macy's. It's just $25!

Lulu's hot summer tops

How cute is this top? It's the Lulu's "If Looks Could Frill" Tunic, and it's a $32 steal online (see title link). It's easy casual for a latte on the street to stop those boys in their tracks. The teal fabric is chiffon-textured, with TWO tiers of ruffles, and it's fully lined with 100% polyester. Imported. Looks great with some hot tips (nails). Get ready for the gritty beach! And make sure to use a UV-protecting base and top coat.
