Halara

John B. Marine | 9:40 PM | | | Be the first to comment!
Halara is a fashion designer who aims to infuse active style with everyday garments. Rather than being exclusively activewear or showcase athleisure, they try to make regular clothes but with an active twist. So what you're getting from Halara is stylish clothing that also makes you feel sporty. I will use this post to discuss Halara and their fashions.

A Note About Brands...

I do not do any sort of Brands posts unless I choose to do a post or if I am contacted by someone to post about the brand. For this post, I did this on my own. My opinions are all of my own, and all content is provided for educational purposes.






Halara


Halara
^ from: (Google Play) - Halara designs active-inspired clothing for the everyday woman.

I always believe activewear is popular mostly for either comfort or for some romantic appeal. This even harks to when yoga pants became very popular in the mid-2000s and late-2000s, even if yoga pants wearers do not actually practice yoga. Even if you are not incredibly active, at least wearing active-type clothing is simple to wear and can sometimes be stylish. Halara knows this and patterns their clothing to suit the sporty or athleisure woman. Want to crush that workout while wearing some quality active fashion? Halara has you covered. Want to show some athleisure chic even if you don't exercise at all or minimally? Halara got you. Halara claims most of their styles and garments come from a lot of research from fashionistas. They are a company that seems to know what active-inspired fashions they want to offer to the world.

Halara themselves even calls their clothing as "Women's activewear-inspired Everyday Apparel. So in other words, a fashionista needs not be a fitness freak to wear Halara's clothing. One can just be the girl who wants to look cute in sporty-style clothing, even if the fashionista is not planning on doing any sort of exercise for the day. A look on Halara's website will show they have many of the sort of garment options that will interest nearly any fashionista. They have an array of options including jeans, active leggings, skirts, skorts, dresses, jumpsuits, and more. With a keen sense of fashion, a fashionista can incorporate this active-inspired chic into regular outfits not oriented towards active usage. For example, one of their wide-leg jumpsuits could be dressed down with sneakers or flat sandals, or they could be dressed up with a chic pair of formal-type footwear for a night out. A lot of Halara's garments can be versatile if you have a keen enough eye for style.


Video Insight.

Let me give you some video insight about Halara and their fashion. One such YouTube personality who did a Halara haul is Sabrina Lilliane. Sabrina Lilliane is a fashionista who loves cute, Japanese-style doll chic. This video shows off some of Halara's fashions Sabrina got and how she feels about each outfit and item:


^ pink pilates princess activewear try-on haul! (from halara)

This gives you some perspective on Halara and their fashion.




My Thoughts on Halara; More Information


Even if you are not the active type or the fitness type, Halara can still provide some great-looking fashion for any fashionista. You can still even work out in these clothes if your heart desires. Making these clothes as active-inspired only makes these clothes stylish for reasons other than for active purposes. It shows how a fashionista does not have to dress fully committed to exercise to be sporty. What looks like everyday fashion has that sporty touch for comfort and style. Those seeking a middle ground between simple style and sporty style can do no wrong by looking at what Halara has to offer.

Flounce Dresses and Flounce Skirts

John B. Marine | 8:21 PM | Be the first to comment!
Flounce dresses and skirts express statement-making feminine style. They mostly have bold touches like ruffles, tiers, and ties styled in an attention-grabbing way. Flounce dresses and skirts can be casual or formal. There are even flounce skirts for tennis players. To that end, then, [at least] flounce skirts can also be sporty, especially sports-minded ones. These dresses and skirts are their own statement piece. Therefore, it would be risky (and kind of foolish) to try to be head-to-toe statement maker when wearing a flounce dress or a flounce skirt.

Here is how businessoffashion.com describes flounces:

"Flounce is an exaggeration, a frill or a flounce. It is a wide strip of fabric gathered and sewn to a skirt or dress. They most often appear at the hem and help exaggerate the character and silhouette of a skirt."

-Flounce, on businessoffashion.com


To that end, here are examples of flounce dresses and flounce skirts:



flounce dress
^ from: (Lyst) - Flounce dresses can either have ruffles or tiers, making them very expressive and powerfully feminine. They can range in length from mini length to maxi length, and they can either be casual or formal.



flounce skirt
^ from: (HSN) - Flounce skirts have the same style of expressive style as their dress counterparts.




Styling Flounce Dresses and Skirts.

As I mentioned earlier, you do not need to pile on statement pieces when you already have a flounce dress or a flounce skirt. So don't go with bold slide sandals, bold jewelry, or anything truly flashy to go along with a flounce dress or flounce skirt. Since skirts are more versatile, a flounce skirt can be complimented with any such top as long as it doesn't overpower the flounce skirt.

Edgy fashionistas may opt for a leather jacket. While I think they would kill the feminine vibe, fishnet tights with some combat boots would also go with flounce dresses and flounce skirts; but again, I wouldn't exactly recommend it.

I would avoid sneakers with these garments. There are some exceptions for certain flounce dresses and flounce skirts to be paired with sneakers, but I'd avoid sneakers with most of these flounce dresses or flounce skirts.


Thoughts on Flounce Dresses and Skirts.

Nearly any dress or skirt has feminine appeal. Flounce dresses and flounce skirts surely pack feminine appeal and charm. They have the right amount of style to compliment nearly any outfit combination one has in mind. These are boldly feminine garments without going to any such extremes. Many of these flounce dresses and flounce skirts can be stylish casually, semi-formally, or formally. They also come in a nice array of lengths ranging from mini-length to maxi-length. The possibilities can be endless, so go find yourself a flounce dress and/or flounce skirt and look fabulous!


Flounce Dresses and Flounce Skirts Online.

Want to get yourself a flounce dress and/or a flounce skirt? You are free to look around online. Or to help support me and my work, why not visit retailers such as these:

Differences in Perspective

John B. Marine | 4:40 PM | | Be the first to comment!
Fashion is different when seen from other perspectives. A now-defunct blog once expressed male and female perspective on outfits constantly. What males may not like about a feminine outfit, females do. What some females may not like about a masculine outfit, males do. Does a person have to properly understand fashion to discuss it? Not necessarily. Nobody looks up to me for fashion advice, and I couldn't be one's personal stylist to save somebody's life. What I do provide, though, is my own thoughts on one's style. That is good enough to properly discuss fashion.

This blog post is not about any specific outfit. Instead, I'm simply talking about what a difference outside perspectives on fashion can do.





Perspectives: Males About Feminine Outfits.

Let me speak to the level of males making opinions on feminine fashion.

Us males often think a lot about what makes females stylish, cute, romantic, edgy, or whatever. Some of us could cringe a bit as to some fashion choices some fashionistas may make. Males could, for example, question why a fashionista goes for animal prints or neon, especially if males do not necessarily like certain animal prints or neon. A fashionista couldn't care less because she knows how to make a style statement.

I personally have seen a number of fashion blogs from fashionable types worldwide. An overwhelming majority of these blogs are feminine bloggers. I feel my own opinions on certain outfits are on my own style tastes. I do sometimes, though, feel I may seem like I am trying to flirt when praising a fashionista's outfit. The idea I get is that a male who compliments on a female's style is that someone is simply trying to express thoughts on a fashionista's style and not trying to want to be with her. Things often don't always work out that way at times.


Perspectives: Females About Masculine Outfits.

As much as males have their thoughts on what makes a female beautiful, females have their own fashion tastes in males. A number of females love a well-dressed and handsome male. Perhaps they may also love one who is muscular or just overall charming. I am not as certain as to how females feel exactly about male style, but I am sure many have exquisite takes on masculine fashion.


Final Thoughts.

It is perfectly fine to have your own perspective on fashion based on your own takes. I am not suggesting anyone is right or wrong regarding perspectives on fashion. Your takes on fashion whether male or female are your own unique takes. So feel free to feel however you want regarding fashion commentary.





That's all from me about fashion perspectives from male and female perspectives. I hope you enjoyed this blog post. Subscribe/Follow my blog(s) in any capacity if you love my work.

The Snowkini Trend

John B. Marine | 9:52 PM | | | Be the first to comment!
Swimwear in the cold- would you try it? Normally, you wear swimwear when it's hot. A recent trend of swimwear when it's cold is questionable. To fashionistas, "how do you look stay warm in the cold? Look hotter!" Some have referred to this trend of swimwear in cold weather as the "snowkini trend." So for this blog post, I want to focus in on this trend. Would any of you fashionistas dare try this? Do you think this is cool or silly? I'll discuss as I go along.






Snowkini Trend


Warm weather usually means a love of wearing shorts, sandals, and swimwear. Such clothing usually help fashionistas stay cool and look cute when it's warm or hot. The last thing one wants to do is wear less clothing or light clothing on cool or cold days. There was one time where the Houston area had high temperature of 37°F, and one young woman I saw at a Wal-Mart wore a T-shirt, shorts, and flip-flop/thong sandals. Think that's insane? Well, try wearing swimwear when it's cold. This is something that took the likes of Instagram and TikTok by storm. Enter the realm of the "Snowkini" trend, as demonstrated with the only decent image I could find to demonstrate this style:

snowkini trend
^ from: (NeoAdviser - best image I could find) - The "snowkini" trend brings swimsuits to the snow. Don't forget a super warm pair of boots also.

The "snowkini" trend is a fashion trend of wearing swimwear out in cool or cold weather. Think showing up at the ski resort or Winter resort by wearing your favorite swimwear along with some cold weather boots. No fashionista would dare wear any sort of swimwear when temperatures are cold and out in the cold. For some, there is a level of hotness for rocking swimwear out in the cold. The combination of a stylish bikini paired with some sort of cold weather boots can be pretty hot despite the cold. Swimsuits can also be a showcase of one's appealing looks when wearing such appealing swimwear ranging from one-piece swimwear to bikinis. However, you do risk putting your body temperature out of whack when trying this trend. Celebrities such as Kendall Jenner and India Reynolds are among the celebrity influencers of the "snowkini" trend.

Now one time, I've seen a video where some woman wore a bikini along with some sheepskin boots. While a popular pair of boots in cold weather, sheepskin boots like from UGG Australia or EMU Australia were originally meant to keep feet and ankles warm for cool or cold days at the beach. So it is not foreign to want to wear such boots when it is cold. What is foreign, however, is to expose your body on cold days with either light clothing or with little clothing.


The "Snowkini" Trend: Elements.

Upon my research of this topic, there are basically two elements towards the "snowkini" trend- any sort of swimwear and some cold weather boots. So imagine your coolest/cutest/hottest bikini paired with some cold weather-style boots. You're basically set on this front. Optional to this trend is some sort of cold weather hat or cold weather cap. Also optional is a warm weather coat. The main appeal of this trend is to parade around in piles of snow in your bikini.

Cold weather boots to go with swimwear usually is with a pair of moon boots. Alternatively, a tall pair of furry boots also will suffice. Or if all else fails... go with your cutest pair of sheepskin boots.


How about I offer some thoughts on this trend? Go to the next section.




The Snowkini Trend: Final Thoughts


No way would I endorse or promote wearing a bikini on a cold day. It's a wild and bold fashion style to try out. I am not going to say I hate the trend. Though, I will say it is one of the most daring and most outrageous fashion trends to try. I've seen fashionistas wear cropped tops in cold and/or snowy conditions, but that is nowhere near as wild as wearing swimsuits in cold and snowy locations. If you are that daring a fashionista, more power to you; but I'd save the swimsuits either for saunas or for warm weather.





Thanks for reading this blog post! Let me ask you, if you want to discuss...

Would you attempt wearing swimwear on a cold day and in snow?

Otomi Embroidery

John B. Marine | 11:34 PM | | | Be the first to comment!
Long ago on "Stylespace by JBM," I made a blog post about Puebla dresses. A big part of these folk outfits' appeal is in the colorful embroidery. Well, for this blog post, I want to focus on Otomi embroidery.

I want to note that this is not the only style of embroidery; this is the style of Mexican embroidery I got to learn about as I was researching this topic.






Otomi Embroidery


To everyone who adores Bohemian or festival chic, one can find something to love about the earthy tones of something like Otomi embroidery. Feminine garments with such Otomi embroidery can really enhance the overall style of traditional Mexican folk outfits. These prints are known for being colorful and expressive. These designs can include floral designs, animals, or they may even be a combination of different colorful elements to form one amazing image.

Otomi embroidery gets its name from the Otomi people of the central plateau of Mexico. Otomi embroidery involves an elaborate stitching technique to put the colors together. These pieces are designed using embroidery floss. One thing I read or seen noted Otomi designs could take as many as eight months to make a complete piece; at least, by hand. Some designers can easily come up with these designs much quicker with sewing machines. Once these pieces are complete, some amazing designs can be made with Otomi embroidery.






Otomi Embroidery on Garments and Goods


Now that I have discussed Otomi embroidery, allow me to show you some examples. Follow along with me. All media featured are for educational purposes.

otomi embroidery
^ from: Otomi Mexico - Otomi embroidery involves colorful and intricate stitching with a rainbow of colors.

Now here is an example of Otomi embroidery on clothing:

Otomi embroidery on a dress
^ from: (Pinterest) - These colorful Otomi stitches make up the colorful details of this dress.

Otomi embroidery on a top
^ from: (Camelia Mexican Boutique) - This already beautiful blouse is made more so with these colorful Otomi stitchings.

Otomi embroidery on sneakers
^ from: (CasaQ) - These sneakers are adorned with Otomi embroidery to jazz up these sneakers.


What do I think about Otomi embroidery? Find out in my Final Thoughts.




My Thoughts on Otomi Embroidery


Otomi embroidery on garments are colorful and beautiful. The colors are vibrant and really bring out the loveliness among fashionistas. Otomi embroidery can also be great for home furnishings as well. Even if you aren't of any Latin descent, you can still enjoy something like a top or a dress with these accents on them. You can equally enjoy some Otomi embroidery with household items like pictures, accent pillows, and more. There is a lot to love about Otomi embroidery to me. You can definitely add these pieces to your wardrobe or your home if these embroideries interest you.

Swing Dresses and Swing Skirts

John B. Marine | 7:07 PM | | Be the first to comment!
Swing dresses and swing skirts are beautiful and timeless. They provide vintage appeal and feminine charm. Even those who are not entirely indulged in vintage fashion can find something to love about swing dresses/skirts. I'll be making this blog post as a brief discussion of swing dresses and swing skirts.

A lot of these swing dresses and swing skirts were mostly popular from the 1950s. Such dresses and skirts flared out from the waist and extended above or below the knees. Personally, I find this silhouette beautiful. Because of their length and style, these vintage A-line dresses and skirts are very modest and classy. They also exhibit an air of feminine style that are both timeless and classic. And if you're a girl who loves to twirl, you can happy twirl in these dresses/skirts and feel so fun!

Here is the style of vintage A-Line style I am making mention to:

swing dress
^ from: Walmart - The vintage A-line design of the 1950s and 1960s are beautiful even today.

swing skirt
^ from: (BLACK IMPRESSIONS Shop) - If you prefer a swing skirt rather than a swing dress, enjoy the same appeal of a swing dress in a skirt form.

There is no denying that swing dresses and swing skirts epitomize feminine charm with a vintage vibe. If you fancy this style, feel free to find yourself some swing dresses and/or swing skirts to your wardrobe. I can't name you any resources right away, but feel free to look around online for vintage shops that have swing dresses and/or swing skirts available.

Converse Chuck 70 De Luxe Heel

John B. Marine | 6:38 PM | | | Be the first to comment!
Converse is known for casual coolness. Their sneakers have been a unisex favorite. One of the new Converses of late has been the Chuck 70 De Luxe Heel- a classic Chuck Taylor type sneaker with a low block heel. I will spend some time and talk about these sneakers in this blog post. Care to join me in this adventure?






Converse Chuck 70 De Luxe Heel


Here are the shoes in question:

Converse Chuck 70 De Luxe Heel
^ from: Converse - Love Converses but want something more girly? Try the Converse Chuck 70 De Luxe Heel.

Just on the silhouette of these sneaker boots alone, these shoes can be styled casually or in some cases, chic. Maybe a fashionista could see these as more upscale high-top sneakers. Some could see them more like a sneaker version of combat boots. It is possible some classy or semi-formal outfits could be paired with these sneaker boots. In fact, try sporting some of these sneaker boots for Casual Friday at work, or pair them with your most girly dress. You could even hide these sneaker boots under a pair of bell bottoms or wide-leg jeans/pants. The Goth/Emo/Punk set often fancies some Converse sneakers as well. So you can imagine these being paired with some girly dark/edgy outfits.

Take a look at how one fashionista styled these sneaker boots for a week: Converse released a sneaker heel, so naturally, I had to wear them all week.


My Thoughts on These Sneakers.

While I am not a Converse lover, I will admit these sneakers have something going for them. These are much better looking than those sneaker pumps I've seen for years that looks like a pair of Chuck Taylor sneakers but with a stiletto high heel. Their versatility alone makes these sneakers enticing to fashionistas. Honestly, I think it is the heel that makes them more enticing than any average pair of Converses. You lose some of the casual cool of a simple pair of sneakers with the 70 De Luxe Heel shoes, but you gain a girly vibe that allows you to top off a relatively chic outfit with. I tend to like these more chic Converse sneaker boots better than an average pair of high-top Converses on fashionistas. So if you want the Converse appeal on your feet but with a chic touch, you'd be best trying to snap these up to add to your shoe collection.

In case you are wondering, they come in more color combinations than just black and white. I saw these in a total of about four different color combinations.

Braided Sandals

John B. Marine | 3:49 PM | | Be the first to comment!
An expressive detail to footwear can be had with braided footwear. Such braided details can range from minor to major. I was inspired to blog about this detail from a fashion blogger whose work I've followed for a long time. I now use my fine blog to discuss braided footwear. So I hope you get to enjoy this post of mine!






Braided Sandals


Let me still set the mood of this one with a picture:

braided sandals
^ from: Amazon - Braided sandals can be a stylish fashion detail for those who fancy a stylish pair of sandals.

braided sandals small
^ from: Billabong - Braids in braided footwear can be big, or they can be small like with these strappy sandals.

braided clog sandals
^ from: Scandic Footwear - Braided footwear can take the form of basic sandals, or even clog sandals such as these.

Braided details on sandals provide some boldness and charm. These braids can easily be their own statement piece for a well-structured outfit. I would not necessarily say they provide toughness to a mostly soft outfit. However, they can be attention-grabbing. Braided details can range from small to large. Larger braids can be statement-making. Extra details like metal studs or pearls can add to the appeal of braided sandals.

Braided sandals may be done easily with straw or something, but leather-type braids can be equally appealing. The majority of braided sandals I've seen in my research have mostly been of the leather variety. Such sandals can come in a variety of colors. Usually, though, more skin-toned sandals have been common. Though, feel free to find a pair of braided sandals to compliment your outfit and style if you fancy them.

Braided sandals can be styled any sort of way. Since I think braided sandals are expressive, I find them best with certain bottoms, dresses, or jumpsuits that allow you to show them off. A pair of cropped jeans or cropped pants will allow you to nicely show off braided sandals. Skirts and dresses of any length will allow you to show off your braided sandals nicely. If you're feeling spicy, try some short shorts or some short skirt or short dress paired with high-heel braided sandals. I think braided sandals are more towards daytime fashion, so I wouldn't really recommend them for evening or night fashion. I would even avoid braided sandals for romantic night outfits.


Blogger Example.

To give you an idea of braided sandals, let me share with you an example outfit from one fashion blogger. Take a look:

PETITE FRIENDLY SUMMER DRESS FOR $18 (Stylish Petite)


My Thoughts on Braided Sandals.



I have no problem with braided sandals. They can be very stylish and chic. They make for more interesting slide sandals. As I am not really into flat sandals or flat slide sandals much, braided sandals (even of the flat variety) can be charming for fashionistas. If you want chic daytime style, wearing braided sandals makes for a good alternative to flip-flop/thong sandals.


If interested in getting braided sandals, advance to the next section. Otherwise, skip it entirely. Your call.




Braided Sandals Online


If you are interested in getting some braided sandals of your own, let me help you! You may visit any of the retailers in this section searching for "braided sandals" in any (or all?) of them:


Amazon
eBay
DSW
Famous Footwear
ASOS
JCPenney
QVC-Fashion
Walmart
Target

Whatever your preference, I may have quite the discussion for you in regards to jelly shoes. So come along for the ride!






Jelly Footwear

^ from: NORDSTROM (best I could find) - Are you ready for this jelly- jelly shoes? The '90s footwear has returned for modern times!

Many people think of the 1990s or kids when it comes to jelly shoes. That especially applies to jelly sandals of the 1990s. Those same styles have resurfaced for modern times for those who want their '90s memories or for the little kid in them. While everyone from kids to adults wear them, there are actually even jelly shoes for males ranging from boys to men.

Jelly footwear comes in at a time where some fashionistas wear some clear shoes and clear sandals. A pair of jelly footwear are translucent, usually in colors other than clear colors. Some jelly-type shoes appear opaque. You can still enjoy clear-colored jelly shoes if you fancy them. Jelly shoes are usually squishy to walk in. Usually, the most popular jelly shoes are translucent fisherman sandals. However, there are also regular sandals and ballet flats that are also in jelly form.

One of the more popular designers of jelly footwear is Melissa Shoes. Melissa Shoes offer some stylish jelly shoes for fashionistas. They also believe in sustainability with their designs. If you are interested in Melissa Shoes' offerings, please visit www.shopmelissa.com.


Thoughts on Jelly Shoes.

I don't really hate jelly footwear. I have no problem with these jelly shoes. They can be quirky and a bit funky. While a lot of people may look at jelly shoes like being for little girls only, jelly footwear can be stylish for nearly any fashionista. They are not super-chic, but they can be pretty cool for casual wear. Those who even love playing with colors in fashion can find something to love about jelly footwear. So feel free to experiment to your heart's content.

Clear Footwear

John B. Marine | 9:24 PM | | Be the first to comment!
Cinderella wore glass slippers. Fashionistas wear clear shoes. Good news for fashionistas is that you can proudly wear these even after midnight. Also, no fear of your outfit turning into rags after midnight in clear shoes. Anyhow, this post is all about clear shoes. I'll share my thoughts on them in this blog post. Of course, you are free to agree or disagree with my points. So let's do this!






Clear Footwear


Let's set the mood. All images are provided for educational purposes. Here we go:

clear sandals
^ from: (Pinterest) - Clear sandals are among some of the different clear shoes that fashionable types have loved.

clear pumps
^ from: Boohoo - Clear pumps offer the appeal of average pumps, just clear.

clear boots
^ from: eBay - Clear footwear can even take on the form of boots.

clear sneakers
^ from: (Pinterest) - You can even enjoy a pair of clear kicks with clear sneakers like these.

Clear footwear has the appeal of your average footwear but seems invisible. It is a fashion style popularized by the Kardashians and Jenners. Such footwear sort of have an effect of elongating feet and not cutting off your proportions. This can be a plus for some petites. It also can be a plus for those of color who want skin-toned footwear. For instance, (skin-tone)-colored pumps won't be color-matching for someone with darker or lighter skin. Clear footwear can be a stylish alternative to skin-tone footwear.

Before clear footwear became popular among fashionistas of late, most of the clear shoes I've seen primarily have been among the *adult entertainer* or *street walker* type. Most of the clear shoes I've seen aren't real stylish to me. While I don't hate clear footwear, I am just not as much into them much. A lot of them appear cheap and just aren't as stylish as any non-clear shoes.


A Health Warning on Clear Shoes?

A doctor suggests that wearing clear shoes can post some health risks. Wearing such shoes could increase the rate of fungal conditions or bacterial infections. They could also increase the chances of getting blisters on your feet. Read more about this possible health risk by reading this article: "Celeb Doc Says Kardashians’ Clear-Shoe Trend Causes Ugly, Smelly, Sweaty Feet (Footwear News)."


Final thoughts coming up.




Clear Footwear: Final Thoughts


For those looking to elongate one's figure at the feet or have a more accurate skin-tone set of footwear, clear footwear can be a charming option for fashionistas. I am not completely into the clear shoe deal, but I am sure a lot of fashionistas would love the appeal provided by many different clear shoes. I would not construct an outfit to include Anything from clear pumps to clear sandals are some shoes that should entice any interested fashionista.




Clear Footwear Online

I took an effort to try to show off some clear footwear that may interest you fashionistas. Take a look at the provided items in this section.
