Bangles.

Assorted bangles always give that extra something to a look and I love wearing a watch with them. I think that it is almost essential to wear a watch these days so, why not add some fun bangles with it! With these bangles I mixed some earth tones and gold and then of course the gold watch. Give this a try it's trendy and fun!

Gotta Love MK.

Michael Kors is a fabulous designer that makes looking expensive not too unaffordable! I just recently bought a pair flats from his fall flat collection from www.nordstrom.com. Taupe flats have made a statement this year and under certain circumstances would be considered the new black. Instead of reaching for you basic black pair of flats to complete a look grab a pair of taupe MK's!

Taupe MK flats:$129.00 

New York Times Article.

The article I choose to write about from The New York Times is titled
"London's Olympic Glow Is Undimmed."  This article discusses the correlation London designers have made with this summers Olympics'.  In particular designer Christopher Bailey featured a hat collection that displayed the same metallic tones as London's opening ceremony. He also designed a trench coat with handbags that portrayed the same Olympic like theme. Bailey was searching for a way to bring London's international heritage into the fashion world.

Before reading this article I would have never thought to incorporate the Olympics into fashion.  I found this article very interesting an beneficial to my blog. This article allowed me to open mind to new creative ideas for fashion that I did not think were possible. An Olympic inspired collection..who knew? I think originality is key and fashion has very little boundaries in terms of what certain pieces stem from.  I hope that I can be inspired from things such as this and incorporate it into my everyday apparel.

The Chunky Necklace.

Nothing makes more of a statement then a bold necklace on a solid shirt. This is a picture/ necklace from a boutique in Dallas, Tx called Impeccable Pig. They have some really unique Apparel and accessories. This necklace is priced at $54.00 and it is so worth it! 

Go OU.

Fun Game day Apparel that gets you out of the same ol' average T-shirt!  It came be a lot of fun when preparing for game day. Spice up those team colors by adding a little personality! One of my favorite things about this look is the Rose Gold watch. It is fabulous with both silver and gold accessories.

Journal Record Evaluation.

The blog that I got the most from was the blog regarding social media by Dave Rhea. He talked about the impact that social media has on everyday life and how it can be very beneficial for businesses that use it well. It made me think about ways I could maybe tie my blog into some things floating around in the social media world!

Evaluation Questions.

1. I think that one thing that can constantly be improved on my blog is consistency and making sure that I am talking about things that are in the "now" to get readers attention.

2. Showing more examples on my blog that apply to various people could make my blog more interesting.

What I learned on Technorati.

One of the most important things I learned from this site was the different demographics of bloggers.  All of the charts and examples helped me find out what category my blog is in. I learned that since I don't plan on making money off my blog I fall under the category that most bloggers do. This is a negative thing because that means that my blog will not have much traffic. I figure, in order to bring as much attention to my blog as possible I have to think of creative ways to make readers care about what I'm saying. According to one of the charts, people follow certain brands through social media. With that being said I think it is important to talk about things that people care about right now.
