AndreaStyles: Comfortable Fundom with Nora

Hi Dolls! For today's post I have a really fun post that I am complimenting with my "Dj Skills" and I am leaving here a playlist that inspired me to create this outfits. In fact, I was listening to those songs while styling for Nora, she has a comfy style but with a fun twist. Let's go ahead and see the outfits while we nod our heads to the rhythm of fashion :)

Like I said comfort was my in my mind during these entire styling session so I went for flat oxfords and created a preppy-boho look with the fringe scarf and had fun including those earrings. The mix of animals creates a very interesting look while it is still a toned down look. I really love tan colors because you can play with them quickly and easily in the morning!

This is the "Fun in The City" type of look it looks a bit careless but still boho chic which goes nicely with tribal prints like the ones in her shoes. Again super comfy and cozy and going crazy with the earrings.

For this last outfit I experimented with different textures and with the snake print. I wanted to give her a super cool laid back but still stylish look so adding animal prints or classy structured bags is always key to get that effect. The vest is such a statement piece for this season and perfect for back to school. I love adding hats and taking them out before going to class shaking my hair. It looks messy but in a super cool way. 
Also playing with gold and silver is so interesting to spice up brown fall looks a bit!

Hope you guys like it? Which outfit was your favorite? I want to remind you that next week I am starting a course and I will share my back to college experience with you all, as you requested!!

AndreaStyles: Rocker chic Back to School - Requested by Maria

Hi Dolls! So today' s post is another AndreaStyles episode! I love doing this posts because I would not mind working as a stylist and being the best one ( even better than my idol Rachel Zoe because I am ambitious like that ;) ) . This way I get to have a bit more experience and have fun with fashion while helping you with your wardrobe.

- Introducing Maria: 
Maria is a 17 year old senior in high school that has a rocker chic style and she finds difficult taking her inner rock star to high school as ripped jeans are not allowed so here I am helping her with back to school shopping! I found this challenge amazing because I love going rocker chic sometimes but I haven't showed you guys that side of mine yet so I thought this will be the perfect opportunity to do that! :)
She also wanted me to show her an extremely easy make up look for everyday, since she wants to just use a couple of products and rock the hall.

So for this outfit I looked for the perfect pair of jeans that were rocker chic but still school appropriate. I chose a pair of grey slim fit jeans that even though they are not ripped they have that rock star vibe with the fading undertones in it, and by not being too loud, it is way more versatile.
Then, I grabbed a concert graphic t-shirt, that Maria told me she had plenty of those and I added a stripped blazer to have that chic touch going on.
I used some black flats since that is what she told me that she lived in along with combat boots and converse. And I chose a big studded bag which to me it sounded like the best option for Maria. She could even take that with her for a night out,  because it is so stylish and such an easy accessory to have. I finished the look with a big bold black ring that dresses the outfit a bit more in a easy way. She could just grab the ring and run out the door, looking like she put actually a lot of thought to it when she really didn't but that's the magic of big statement jewelry ;)

For the Make up I chose a high pigmented nude lip gloss and black eyeliner thay has an easy applicator.

This is my favorite outfit! I want Maria to experiment a bit with trends so I mixed the military trend with faux fur vest that adds that glam to the rocker chic vibe and a simple big blouse that looks really casual. Finally I accessorized the outfit a bit with a simple bag and some cool quoted jewelry. You guys know that quoted jewelry is such a favorite of mine because the fact that it has a quote makes it a lot more put together and it is a cute detail to add depth to any outfit.

Last but not least Maria asked me for a going out look and my advice is buy a little black dress that has a flattering design but that it is so simple and go cray-cray with the accessories. When I found those heels I thought of Maria absentmindedly and then I chose a cute clutch that went with it. Do you guys know what I really like this clutch with too? with floral printed dresses to take away that naive touch that is not Maria style but she still is rocking the lady trend but making really her.
