Disney's New Princess

Stop what you are doing right now and meet Disney's new princess (unofficially) Lane! 


This pint-sized Princess comes to Disney World with her parents about once or twice a week but boy does she come cute as ever! 

Lane's mother, Jennifer Rouch, is the "fairy godmother" for Lane, hand making all of her outfits. Many coming into use more than once like this patriotic number worn in different years. Rouch has mentioned to her fans that she learned how to sew when she was 18 when she worked in a fabric/craft store and used techniques she learned there to make the dresses.
Rouch uses mostly old bedsheets and curtains to make dresses. Some she has already and some she buys at goodwill. The dress above was made from an old bedsheet.

One of my all time favorite designs has to be Lane's cinderella dress. 
Get this, it was made out of a shower curtain! Rouch told interviewers that she was in goodwill one day and saw this shower curtain that reminded her of cinderella's dress. She dyed it and then created one of her first fancier dresses.
Doesn't the bow just add a great touch?

Jennifer and Lane post their adventures every so often on their Instagram Ferdalump or Ferdalump_lane. With the amount of creativity and dedication Lane's outfits require, it's no surprise that people are loving her creations and waiting to see what's next. 


We can't wait to see what's next either. Whether it's as fancy as Cinderella's or a disney themed day dress. We can't wait to see what new Lane fashion is hitting the streets of downtown Disney! Until then...
XOXO,
S

Tommy Hilfiger launches solar power jackets

Tommy has taken technology to a whole new level. Just imagine having an article of clothing that has the power to charger your phone at any given time. These jackets have water resistant, flexible solar panels that snap on and off and a cable that runs to battery pack in one of the front pockets. It has a double USB port, so you can charge TWO devices at once.

These limited edition jackets cost $599 for both the men's and women's style, and are available from the Tommy Hilfiger website and selected stores. Another awesome thing about the jackets are that 50 percent of the proceeds of each will go towards the Fresh Air Fund.

Well that's it for today,

XOXO,

Everytime a bell rings an Angel gets it's wings

It's that time of year again ladies! The Annual Victoria's Secret Fashion Show! Many celebs and Angels have been prepping for this for months and have been blowing up Twitter and Instagram anticipating the TV showing. With performers like Taylor Swift, Ariana Grande, and Ed Sheeran, the show is bound to get great ratings from even people that are usually not interested.
 

The Angels landed in London a few days ago and have already expressed their excitement for the show. Leading Angels for the show will be Adriana, Alessandra, Behati, Candice, Doutzen, Karlie, Lily, and Lindsay. The 5 themes for the show are Fairy Tale, Dream Girl, Angel Ball, Gilded Angels, and Exotic Traveler. There are pieces from these themes up for sale at victoriassecret.com. 

Taylor Swift 
Taylor dominated this show from beginning to end. She was front and center for every picture and tweet. She arrived at the event wearing this stunning J. Mendel mini. Many saying that she fit in perfectly with the other Angels. 

As the show went on, Taylor performed Blank Space on the catwalk and man did she look great! She rocked a pink lingerie outfit complete with slippers that was just too perfect for the occasion. 

If anyone stole the spotlight that night it would have been Taylor. Making an appearance in almost every picture, nobody can deny that she looks great and is doing great too. 

There are some rumors spreading about some drama with Tay and an Angel. Rumor has it Tay booted Angel Jessica Hart because of her remark from last year's show. Hart stating, “God bless her heart. I think she’s great. But I don’t know, to me, she didn’t fit. I don’t know if I should say that.” True? Only time will tell if Tay really let this comment get under her skin.

Ariana Grande
Ariana performed on the catwalk with some PINK knee highs, a crop top, some louboutins, classic Ari hairdo, and what I like to call the mullet skirt. Business in the front, party in the back! (I'm sorry it just came to me you know?)

Ari was doing great as she sung on the catwalk until an Angel came down with her giant wings. She ended up hitting Ariana in the face which led to probably the funniest picture of Ariana Grande I have ever seen. Memes are already trending with her reaction and they are just great! 

Ariana shook it off as best she could and finished the song. Later joking about the incident later on Twitter.

Many other celebrities joined in on the fun including Ed Westwick and Ellie Goulding. 
With all the craziness we've heard so far and the great fashion we have seen, I think that the show should be pretty entertaining to watch. Don't forget to check it out Tuesday December 9th 2014 and 10/9 central on CBS.
XOXO,

'Tis the Season

Now since it's December 2nd and officially the time to be merry and bright,  I feel that there is something I have to address. Christmas Sweaters. Don't turn up your nose just yet (if you are i guess...) Yes some of them look kinda like your grandma's Christmas sweater BUT they are so fun for the holiday season and just might be something you want to buy soon. So sit back and drink some hot cocoa as we browse through the tackiest sweaters yet to come.
 
 I guess we should start with the Sweater Store. This is a great site to go to if you need a sweater fairly quick.Their sweaters usually range from $30-60 dollars but they do have some for under $25 for the frugal fashionistas. I think I should add that they have some pretty awesome cat sweaters.

I mean who wouldn't want a cat sweater?

Another honorable  mention in our sweater hunt would be the Tipsy Elves. The name honestly says it all, sweaters, some a little tackier than others, along with sweater dresses, college sweaters, and some sick jumpsuits.


These sweaters are a little pricier, most ranging from $45 to $65 dollars. But man are they priceless.

 Now if you are a DIY-er and want to show your creative side, I highly suggest decorating a Christmas Sweater.  This is your chance to show of your creativity and your funny side. So go for it!
Some that need credit where credit is due...







With celebs like LC, Taylor, and Rose McGowan sporting this lovely look, it just proves that you can make any "Tacky Sweater" fab.


So don't be a GRINCH this holiday season! Grab a candy cane and a cozy Christmas sweater and celebrate in style!
XOXO,

Celeb Style Watch: Shay Mitchell

Shay Mitchell, actress known for playing Emily on Pretty Little Liars has an INCREDIBLE taste in fashion. Her style is impeccable and super easy to recreate. This is one of her recent outfits that I fell in love with! 

Here's a more affordable collection to get a similar look!

Black boots- Target- $45
Micheal Kors products are definitely an little more pricy but these two are very similar to Shay's choice in accessories! 
And lastly, the jacket. It may not be exactly the same but for 40 bucks I think it'll suffice! 
Well that's my take on shay's outfit! Until next time,
XOXO, z

Kendall Jenner..Model Worthy?

Kendall Jenner has been in the public eye more than ever over the last few weeks. She's gotten a feature and fashion spread in Vogue AND she's the face of Estée Lauder's gorgeous campaign but fellow model, Arisce Wanzer, has bagged on Kendall for not doing any "work" to achieve her model status. Arisce said in her letter to Kendall "Does she need MORE fame? MORE money? A green card perhaps? Doesn't she get enough cash from that show that all of ignorant America glamorizes? Didn't her sister have sex with someone on camera and profit from the video sales to get their family its new line of limelight? " Part of me agrees with Arisce when she criticizes KJ for her lack of effort and her reliance on her mother to get her whatever she wants but another part of me feels bad for Kendall because she will never know what its like to be told "no" and therefore never experience earning anything for herself. 

Kendall may not be the the best model, but the following pictures from her Vogue campaign are beautiful. The clothes are gorgeous and the composition of the pictures highlights the fashion rather than Kendall.




So is Kendall Jenner's model career taking off like she hopes? Only time will tell I guess. Even if the other models don't like KJ I'm sure we'll be seeing more of her whether we like her or not. 

XOXO, z
