Trend to try: Shoulder exposure

There’s something so alluring about off-the-shoulder dresses: They’re sexy yet discreet – and they create a diagonal line that visually whittles your waist. The trick is to go with a shape that isn’t too clingy. And if the strap is topped with a ruffle or flower, make sure that it doesn’t overpower you. The bare slice of skin is usually statement enough.
What I'm wearing:
Dress: Coolcat, Shoes: Xtra Star, Bangles and Earrings: Temptation Boutique

I have always considered the shoulder one of the sexiest, and most underrated, regions of a woman’s body which is why I’m all about the shoulder exposure trend that’s currently sweeping in.

An exposed shoulder creates that accidental sexy-effect which is super hot but not in an intimidating kind of way. I love the bohemian sensibility of this look, it just has that effortlessness to it that always looks amazing. 









I am also an avid fan of sweetly slouchystyles and this definitely fits the bill.

You can rock an off the shoulder slouchy dress like Lindsay Lohan wearing Rachel Pally or with a mini-skirt for a night out like Jessica Szohr. 
Pair a muted top with skinny pants like Lauren Conrad wearing a Vince long sleeve top; rock a Flashdance style tee likeVanessa Hudgens wearing a printed top by Free People, $29.95; or rock an oversized fashion-forward style like Ashley Greene, wearing a button-sleeve top by Prodigal Daughter.
Either way, this look always translates to hot and is a great way to rock the 80′s trend that’s trickling in while still keeping it modern.

Check out some of my favorite shoulder exposure styles after the jump!

The runways for spring were sprinkled with pops of  cobalt blue , which is a perfect alternative for those that aren’t keen on a typical pastel palette. This bold color adds a sophisticated punch when worn in the form of tailored  blazers  and blouses, but is electric and playful when worn as handbags or statement  jewelry . Get a head start and add this color to your wardrobe before all the blue-fanatics snatch it up this spring. Transforming bright shirts, shoes, dresses and even pants, cobalt blue has been surrounding all the runways this season. Paired with black, it has been the theme of some designer’s shows, including  Monique Lhuillier , who centered all of her  Spring 2012  pieces around the brilliant cobalt blue, basic black, a stunning yellow, and bright white.

With Spring well within our grasp and the yearly print trend set to make an emergence, the time has come to address that tetchy issue; that is the camouflage debate.

Follow these tips to make sure you stay camouflage cool. What I'm wearing: From Temptation Boutique: Top, Shorts: Miss Me Jeans, Ring: Rhinestones and the Earrings: Rhinestones Hoop. Belt: Ti amo, Necklace: GUESS, Rain Boots: HUNTER, Bag: Evisu, Bracelet Watch: GUESS, 3 pieces Bracelets: H&M When you think of camo, you normally picture heavy duty, “manly” apparel.

How to wear leopard print shoes

What I'm wearing: Shoes: Limited Edition One of the quickest ways to add a dash of personality to any outfit is to mix in a pair of leopard print shoes. But, as popular and fun as they are, leopard prints don't really work with everything. In fact, I can probably name more colors and outfits that leopard print shoes don't work with than I can items they will. The good news is, when you get the right combination, it's a tough one to beat for drama, glamour and sex appeal. Below are a few tips on what to wear with leopard print shoes. The Obvious Choice for Leopard Print Shoes : Black It almost goes without saying, but  black dresses , skirts, and pants are a perfect match for leopard print shoes. Not only because leopard prints have black in them -- although that certainly doesn't hurt -- but also because black really emphasized the lighter tones in traditional leopard print patterns. So, that's an easy one, and you could just r
