Festival Fashion: Coachella is here!
Posted by Mackenna Scripps on April 17, 2013 | No Comments »
I have to admit…. I’ve never attended Coachella (I will one day, I swear it) even without tickets I look forward to this festival every year. Why you may ask? Simply put, the fashion.
Many celebrities (like Rita Ora, Alessandra Ambrosio, and Katy Perry, to name a few) attend clad in the most fashionable festival wear. Not only celebrities, but all attendees alike don their trendiest warm weather gear -including many SMU students.
This is unlike any other festival out there…Coachella brings high fashion. Yes the free spirit aspect is still there, with plenty of fringe, ankle boots, and cut-offs, but in an original way.
The best part is, you get to see everyone’s personal style and not just the trends that are most popular at the moment.
With killer bands, brings killer outfits.

SMUstyle + To & From
Posted by McKenna Cottam on April 17, 2013 | 2 Comments »
We are so excited that the lovely ladies, Katie and Meg, from To & From Magazine ask SMUstyle to participate in their Spring 2013 Gift Guide Issue. If you’ve never heard of To & From, well, you have been missing out. It’s definitely the magazine/gift guide of our time. Each issue (their previous issues include a Holiday and Valentine’s Day Gift Guide) incorporates a variety of gift categories made from what bloggers are currently coveting or what they would buy their bff for Graduation/Christmas/Valentines Day. What makes this ultimate gift guide the best is because each image links you right to the product. It’s brilliant. So say adios to the “I hate buying gifts” because you “never know what to get someone”. To & From has done it all for you. All you have to do is just click here and there (and believe you’ll be gift-guiding for quite some type, this online mag is addicting to flip through)
The Spring 2013 Issue includes a whole bunch of goodies for not only Graduates, but also Mother’s Day, Father’s Day, Weddings, Baby Showers and Birthday. So go ahead and check it out. Graduation is exactly month away from tomorrow (wow. that just made me feel weird inside) and hey, for all you graduates this can also work as a wish list if your still debating what you might ask for this big accomplishment.

Shazam for Your Fashion Fancies?
Posted by McKenna Cottam on April 4, 2013 | No Comments »
We’ve all been there. You’re cruising down the ( I’ve been told only Californians place the before freeways/major highways, so ex that*) Central Expressway and a song flips the “ohh I like this” switch inside your head. So what do you do? Of course, pull out the iPhone and Shazam that sound. I don’t know about you, but this app has saved me a numerous amount of times. I’ll spend a decent amount of time competing with my brain to try and file out the name/artist of the song that is playing, and when I fail Shazam is there (and due to my stubbornness, by the time I chose to Shazam, the song ends before Shay Z [Shazam's designated informal human name; pronounced Shea- Zee] has had time to thoroughly listen) to pick up my music-knowledge deficiency.
But the makers of Shazam have informed the public that their brilliant software isn’t limited to adding tracks to your iTunes playlist, notifying you that “A Tagged artist is performing near you” and building your music repertoire. They are in the makes of creating fashion ID app that can identify what your favorite celeb is wearing. Way over my head, but I don’t hate it. Although I would be no-one without Google, I do find our bond teeters on a love-hate basis sometimes when Googs doesn’t understand exactly what I mean when I say “gray sweatshirt puffy sleeves” or “backless dress with cross over panelling”.
This ID app could be the answer to all of our style stalking questions and the initiator of a bank account buster. I can already tell you that I will be using this app on the reg when it hits the app store. My daily obsessions over Kelly Ripa‘s morning attire on Live with Kelly & Michael will be just one snap away. It’s pretty much the answer to our style-crush prayers.
Fascinated with this fashion-savvy app, read more about it on The Guardian.

Happy first day of official spring! The sun is out suppose to be out ( texas weather, never promising) and the color start to emerge from our closet. Stumbling through my daily reads, my eye was instantly caught by Club Manaco Spring Lookbook via Racked. It’s full of vibrant blue, mellow yellows, simple neutrals and an amazing shade of sherbet orange. yum. Some personal favs from the Club…

With Ultra and Coachella around the corner I’ve been thinking what my wardrobe attire will be. Obviously we all fully attempt to look fabulous for the occasion but that is something to be planned in advance. This year I plan on channeling my inner Kate Moss.
Get this look!

Araks Colorblocks for J. Crew
Posted by Mackenna Scripps on February 28, 2013 | No Comments »
No, not lingerie – which is what Araks is known for – but swimwear. The designer just launched a new swim line specifically for J Crew. The suits are bright, bold hues and the styles are flattering for anyone’s body. They are sold only online at J Crew – and perfect for Spring Break, which is {gasp} less than two weeks away.
