Allure Atlantic

Was your new years resolution to dress better this year? Probably not, at least the people I know (myself included) our new year's resolution belonged somewhere in the health category. With this new body we are all convinced we will have by the end of the year, I have come up with a list of things we should never put on them again.

1.) Wedge Sneakers

Really guys, these just look ridiculous. A lot of people in the fashion industry would disagree with me but I am standing firm. I think they are tacky. Sneakers are supposed to be used for comfort, these do not look comfortable to me, nor could I work out in them. Wedges and Heels have a purpose of dressing up an outfit and making it more appealing.....these are doing the opposite for me.

2.) Sperry's

These have become a very casual shoe for women and I can't go anywhere without seeing someone wearing them. They originally were the first mass produced shoe for boating, which is all fine, but today that is not what they are used for. I actually do not mind these shoes on men, I think they are a good easy option for a preppy mens look. Its the women's Sperry's that get me for some reason..why not put a cute pair of sandals or flats on, instead of these bulky tan things.

3.) Cutout Crop Tops

Just....what even are these, Miley Cyrus?

4.) Uggs

This is a tough one, even for myself. I admit these shoes are so comfortable and warm, and I even admit to owning a pair. But they absolutely make any outfit that I wear have an immediate downgrade in the style department. Nothing about them is fashionable and I wont change my mind ever but Im trying my best to keep these comfy things in the perimeter of my house!

5.) Tacky Graphic Tee's

After middle school these things should just not happen.

6.) Yarn Bracelets

After age 10..these need to go. And the worst part is girls in college still wear them, and they are stained with dirt! Lovely.

A small list, I could go on for days but I will leave it at that. Agree? Disagree? Share with me your style Never's! Let me know in the comment section below!

Happy Fashion Week!

Yesterday kicked off the beginning of New York Fashion Week, a week long event that is home to hundreds of designers presenting their Spring/Summer 2014 collections. This morning I got the chance to catch up on the shows I missed, but the collection that really caught my eye was Erin Fetherston. She released her collection early in a styled photogenic form instead of a runway show. Her collection has true ready-to-wear pieces that aren't terribly expensive, at least compared to others that are thousands of dollars! Most of her dresses are under $500! These dresses are so versatile you can wear them anywhere. I think I died a little bit when I saw these images, so stinkin' cute. Her inspiration came from a trip to Barbados to be married earlier this year. The beautiful and fun colors of these garments reflect that, I have discovered my new favorite designer.
