New Year's (Fashion) Resolutions

Don't wait until tomorrow to start conquering your New Year's fashion resolutions... Start tonight! 

Here are three last minute looks perfect for New Year's Eve that will help you conquer your fashion fears. 

Look #1: Add Some Edge 

If your New Year's resolution is to add some edge to your daily look then this is the NYE outfit for you. Shop your wardrobe for a simple black and white graphic tee and a sparkly skirt. In a pinch? Instead of a skirt you could also layer your tee over a sequined dress. Next, accessorize with a boyfriend watch like this one by Marc by Marc Jacobs and some booties with attitude. If you're planning to be out in the cold add some opaque black tights and a faux leather jacket. 

Look #2: Add Some Color

Looking to add some color to your wardrobe in 2014? Try this fun look tonight. First, look through your closet and find a dress in a bright color. I love this teal one above from Forever21. Once you have your dress accessorize it with some sparkly black heels and minimal jewelry. It's nice to sparkle on NYE but the key with this look is to keep the focus on the colors and not the bling. Finally, pick a clutch in a contrasting color to add some extra interest to your look. 

Look #3: Mixing Patterns 

Mixing patterns is not the easiest thing to do. In order to be successful pick one and only one type of pattern. For this look I chose floral. Another important factor is to keep the color palettes similar. For the base of this look choose a floral top and skirt. To pull the look together layer a black blazer on top and cinch your waist with a nude belt. Matching nude shoes and very simple earrings like these by Marc by Marc Jacobs finish off the look. Don't overdo it with accessories. Keep it simple for this chic and feminine look. 

I hope you all have a wonderful New Year's Eve!

Holiday Gift Guide: My Wishlist

If I could have anything for Christmas I would choose these six items from my wishlist.

1. It by Alexa Chung, Barnes & Noble, $19.32. 2. Oversized Original Wayfarer, Ray-Ban, $150 3. Mid-Size Silver Color Stainless Steel Lexington Chronograph Watch, Michael Kors, $225. 4. Solid Butterfly Knit Infinity Scarf, Aeropostale, SALE $14.75 (orig. $29.50). 5. BGammbit Leopard Zipper Satchel, Steve Madden, $69.95. 6. 'Indulge' Lipstick, M.A.C., $15. 

1. It by Alexa Chung - I really admire Alexa Chung's style and am interested to see what she has to say in her new book.

2. Ray-Bans - I love the look of these sunglasses. You really can't go wrong with a pair of classic black wayfarers.

3. Michael Kors Watch - I have mentioned my obsession with Michael Kors' oversized watches plenty of times. This one is my favorite.

4. Aeropostale Infinity Scarf - I'm in need of an ivory knit scarf. This one from Aeropostale is perfect.

5. Steve Madden Bag - The zipper on my favorite brown bag just broke and this awesome cheetah print purse would be a great update.

6. M.A.C. Lipstick - I've been all about burgundy lips lately. The M.A.C. lipstick that I already own is lovely and I would like to add this color to my collection.

Holiday Gift Guide: The Blogger

Need assistance in Christmas shopping for a blogger? I'm here to help! 

Here are 10 gift ideas for the blogging obsessed member of your gift list. 

Holiday Gift Guide: The Blogger by beverlylorraine on polyvore.com

1. Nice Camera - Good quality pictures are key when it comes to any blog. Update your favorite blogger's current camera with a much better upgrade. I love my Nikon COOLPIX L120. It takes wonderful pictures and it was not too expensive. I use it for all the photos I take here on Freshmen Fashion.

2. Journal - Before I start a new post I always jot down notes on what I want it to include. An elegant journal like this one from Kate Spade would be a great place for a blogger to collect their thoughts and ideas.

3. Starbucks Gift Card - What blogger doesn't love Starbucks? They can use this card to buy their favorite Instagram-worthy drink.

4. #OOTD T-shirt- Almost every blogger out there has done the classic OOTD post. This fun tee is the perfect building block for any ensemble and your recipient will appreciate the blogging reference.

5. Calendar Whiteboard - Help your blogger plan out all their posts for the year with this cool whiteboard calendar. I have one just like it and you'd be surprised how useful it is. This one is nice because is features three photo openings.

6. Tripod - A tripod like this one by Sony is an excellent gift for a blogger because it will help make their blog's photo content even better. They'll be able to have their own photo shoots without having to enlist someone as photographer.

7. Man Repeller: Seeking Love. Finding Overalls. by Leandra Medine - Leandra is a fashion blogging legend. In her new book she shares personal stories and photographs along with recounts of her favorite "man-repelling" outfits. This is on my Christmas list this year.

8. Revlon Photoready Liquid Foundation - Bloggers are constantly behind the camera so good makeup is essential. This foundation is said to be ideal for any lighting even in photographs.

9. Laptop Case - When you're always on your computer it is nice to have colorful and cheery accessories. This MARC by Marc Jacobs 'Rabbit' Computer Case would make an awesome gift for your blogger.

10. Earbuds - Personally, I like to listen to music when I write for my blog. These edgy BCBG earbuds are a fantastic replacement for your typical white headphones.

Stay tuned for more gift guides.

 I'll be posting a new guide each weekend right up until Christmas.

Holiday Gift Guide: The Guys

Whether you're shopping for your boyfriend, dad, best guy friend, or brother,

here are 10 holiday gifts for the guy in your life.

1. The Heat (Widescreen), Walmart, $9.96. 2. Jacket in Wool Blend, H&M, $99. 3. Pullover Crew Neck Sweater, Target, $29.99. 4. Acqua Di Gio Pour Homme 3.4 oz, Giorgio Armani, $78. 5. 'Mercer' Chronograph Bracelet Watch, Michael Kors, $295. 6. Knit Hat, Target, $4.99. 7. Leather Gloves, H&M, $29.95. 8. Ramones Tee, $16.80, Forever21. 9. 'Little America' Backpack, Herschel Supply Co., $120. 10. Star Player Leather Sneaker, Converse, SALE $56.25 (reg. $75). 

1. As I mentioned in a previous gift guide DVDs always make a great gift. Pick out a couple of his favorites and you have a gift that you can't go wrong with.

2. For the stylish guy in your life this coat from H&M would be a wonderful gift. It's fashionable with navy wool and leather sleeves but also practical for the cold months ahead. 

3. This Santa skull sweater may not be ideal for everyone on your gift list but the right guy with a quirky personality would love it.

4. Cologne is an excellent gift for any guy. Pick him up a bottle of his favorite scent. If he doesn't have a favorite I highly suggest Acqua Di Gio Pour Homme by Giorgio Armani. It has a clean and fresh smell that isn't too strong.

5. I love a good watch. Michael Kors makes some of the best that I've seen. The one featured in this gift guide is on the pricier side but in my opinion it is completely worth the money. The face is modern and its all black color is very masculine. This watch will not be going out of style anytime soon.

6. Who doesn't need a great beanie? I love the bright red color of this one. For only $4.99 it would make a perfect stocking stuffer or add on to a gift.

7. Leather gloves are another fashionable but still practical gift.

8. For the music loving guy in your life it may not be the greatest idea to get him his favorite band's new album. Most likely he already has it. Instead get him an awesome band tee and maybe throw in an iTunes gift card. I'm a huge Ramones fan.

9. There is just something that I love about this backpack. It can be used everyday whether for school or work. Also, this bag is stylish and casual at the same time. All in all a nice backpack like this is a favorable replacement for the typical Jansport.

10. Everyone likes a cool pair of Converse. Update your guy's with these leather ones for a more put together look.

Happy December!

The fashionista is stylish, unique, and always on top of the latest trends.

Here are 10 trendy gifts for the chicest person on your gift list.

1. Teen Vogue Magazine November 2013, Barnes and Noble. 2. Pretty-Tough Earcuff, Forever21, $6.80. 3. Street-Chic Spiked Moto Jacket, Forever21, $47.80. 4.

Leather Gloves, H&M, $24.95. 10. Spot-On Wedge Booties, Forever21, $39.80. 

1. If you have no idea what to get a fashion forward member of your gift list, a subscription to their favorite magazine is a fantastic idea. Not sure which magazine to subscribe them to? Teen Vogue is a must have for anyone who's passionate about fashion. 

2. A fun accessory to gift would be this edgy spiked earcuff from Forever21. It's not super expensive and adds a major statement to any outfit. 

3. Every fashionista needs a great faux-leather jacket. This one has cool studded details making it completely on trend. Your recipient will be able to style this jacket into many different looks. 

4. This It Girl Tee would make a perfect gift. Graphic tees and tees with sayings have been huge this year. They've been spotted all over the place from local malls to high fashion runways. Your fashionista will love this one because of its basic design and black and white color combo. Both of these aspects make it easy to pair with a bunch of other clothes for a cool-girl vibe. 

5. Every girl needs an everyday bag. This one from Nine West is excellent for that. It's sleek and practical because of its classic shape and color but also very stylish at the same time.

6. The grunge trend has been very popular for 2013. This flannel scarf from Forever21 is an inexpensive way to allow the person you're shopping for to try out the trend. Plus, everyone needs a good scarf for the winter months.

7. This Michael Kors watch is definitely pricier than some of the other gifts in this guide. It's for sure an investment. Its large "boyfriend" size makes it modern and on trend. But, its silver color and simple face make it a classic. This watch is the ideal gift for fashionistas of all ages. 

8. A staple dress in a vibrant color is a fabulous addition to any wardrobe. This one from H&M is affordable and any stylish girl would love it. 

9. Another fashionable and practical gift is a pair of these leather gloves. They are totally worth the money. They're something that anyone could use for the wintertime while being very chic at the same time. 

10. These unique cheetah print wedge booties are so awesome. They might not be for everyone but the right person would love them. They'd add a bit of edge to any look. 

Stay tuned for more gift guides!
