How She Styles Gets A Facelift

by How She Styles December 23, 2020

Things are looking a little bit different on How She Styles. After a few years with the same layout I thought it would be nice to change it up and try something new.

Here are some of the things that have moved around on the How She Styles:

The Most Recent Content Will Be Right At The Top

With my old layout, the name of the blog took up a lot of space “above the fold”. For this new layout, I wanted my content to be the star so I shrunk the name and added a cool slider to show off all my latest content.

Easy access to How She Styles Instagram and Pinterest

The old layout gave me issues when trying to showcase my Instagram, and showing off my Pinterest wasn’t even an option. In this new layout, both are on the sidebar. This way you can easily see what I’ve been posting or click through to subscribe there too.

Latest How She Styles Youtube Video at the Sidebar

Alongside the content you see here, I also create Youtube content. With this new layout I am able to combine the two by adding my latest video at the sidebar. This makes it easy to watch videos right on the How She Styles homepage.

The Extras Are At The Bottom

If you scroll all the way to the bottom of the page there are a few goodies down there. You can find the search bar, which will help you find whatever you’re searching for (for the most part). Alongside the search bar are links to my social media if you are interested in following me on other platforms. Finishing off the bottom bar trio is an updated about me page starring my new bangs.

I hope you guys explore and enjoy the new layout!

How She Styles: A New Beginning

by How She Styles September 8, 2017

If you are coming from The Face Of Style, things might be looking a little different around here. After a lot of thought, I have decided to start a new chapter when it comes to blogging.

As you might have read in my “About Me”, this whole idea of blogging started as a school project with the site Runway Everywhere. Then after blogging here and there for a few years, I wanted to get a little more serious about it. I wanted to start something that I thought would fit what people were looking for. That’s when I made the switch to The Face Of Style.

The Face Of Style was my training wheels. I made mistakes, I wasn’t blogging consistently, and I really learned a lot. However, The Face Of Style wasn’t completely me. When I started that site, I was looking to do what everyone else was doing. Now that I have grown up a bit, I have found what I want this site, this brand, and this vision to be.

My goal for this new chapter is to come out with better, more informative, and more exciting content.

For many people fashion is either something they love or something they are a bit afraid of. I don’t mean following every trend, I mean finding and following your own personal style. Embrace your style, whether that means you are following the latest trend or wearing jeans and a t-shirt every day.

How She Styles is going to be a place where you can find pieces you love and ways to fit them in with your style in your own way.I want this to be a space where both fashion lovers and people that are a little newer to the fashion world can come and be inspired.

If you are reading this and it sounds like something you want to be a part of, please make sure to subscribe so I can keep my promise and inspire your style.

The Most Ridiculous Piece Of Clothing I Have Ever Bought

by How She Styles March 12, 2017

The Face Of Style

Jacket: Forever 21

Similar Here and Here

Top: Forever 21

Similar Here and Here

Jeans: American Eagle

Shoes: French Connection

Similar Here and Here

If you couldn’t figure it out from the pictures above the fluffy red jacket purchase was the item that was a little bit out of my comfort zone and could be considered slightly ridiculous to some.

Roaming the sale section of Forever 21, I had a few things in my hand when I looked over and hanging all by itself was this beauty.

I dropped everything I was considering buying and picked up this big red fluffy monstrosity. I tried it on and it fit extremely comfortably. No pulling, no tightness, just easy mobility and a warm lining. The price tag said $33 and I knew it was 50% or 60% percent off clearance. I was willing to pay at least $15 dollars. I promised myself if it was marked wrong and it was more than that I would put it back due to the extreme trend item I know it is.

The price, $11.09. I don’t think I have ever paid so fast in my life. As if the sales associate would change his mind or find his mistake and charge me more. I was so excited to wear it!

You might be asking yourself, why did you buy this?? It’s a trendy piece for winter when it’s almost spring.

I figure we have two cold months left and I’m going to wear it at least the next two winter seasons. Biker jackets never go out of style and the color is gorgeous!!!

I feel my most confident when I don’t look like everyone else. It’s easy to feel special in a special piece. I have already worn it once (I would have worn it more, but it’s been unseasonably warm on the east coast). I am constantly thinking of different outfits to wear this with.

For it’s first outing I decided on a simple high- waisted straight leg denim, simple ribbed mock neck, and heeled loafers.

It’s simple to give the jacket all the attention but still add character to the outfit.

What purchases have been out of your comfort zone? Let me know in the comments below!

The Best Of: Button Downs – Different Styles and Where to Find Them

by How She Styles February 26, 2017

Button downs are a staple in my wardrobe and I have tried many different styles, shapes, and sizes. This post is all about my thoughts on the best button downs, why they are good, and where to get them.

I like to play when it comes to details such as buttons or the occasional ruffle, but I really go wild when it comes to the fabric. I like chiffon (sheer), cotton (your standard dress shirt fabric), and flannel (usually what plaid shirts are usually made out of). There is some deviation from this, but I generally stick with these three categories.

I like to get my button downs with a collar and cuffs (that sounds standard, but these days there are a lot of variation when it comes to collar and cuffs), and I never go for shirts any shaping. On women’s collared button downs sometimes companies will shape at the waist. It looks like I’m trying too hard when I wear that type of shirt. Don’t get me wrong, those types of shirts look great on many people; it’s just not my style.

I gravitate towards straight fit and to my fiancé’s dismay (because I always adopt his clothes) men’s fit shirts. Three of my favorite button downs are actually men’s and I love them because they are oversized, bit still feminine. All my other most worn button downs are tunic length with varied prints and stripes.

Check out all my favorite spots to pick up the perfect button down:

Sheer/Chiffon Button Downs – Forever 21

Forever 21 always have a bunch of different prints and they are pretty cheap. One I bought a black vertical stripe button down like five years ago and I still wear it all the time when I go out with friends. These types of shirts change with the trend using different prints and colors. Getting them at Forever 21 will allow you to have a variety without breaking the bank.

Plaid/Flannel Button Downs- Old Navy:

I picked up two flannels in the “boyfriend” fit and I love how it looks! They have fun color combos and the flannel fabric is super soft.

Classic Button Downs –

Thrift stores/Sample sales/Hand Me Downs:

take picture

The best button down I have is a hand me down from my dad that I stole from him when I was in high school. It’s this weird grey/blue color and I wore it every time I didn’t know what to wear on casual days or to the office.

Now that I work in the city, I go to a sample sale once in a while. If there is men’s clothing at the sale I always take a look in that section because you never know what you’ll find.

The same philosophy goes for thrift stores. Look through everything! They also will generally organize the same styles together so all the button downs are together and it’s easy to look through.

The “Best Of” Series is going to be a series based on where I think you can find the best of different items based on my personal opinion and preferences. If some of these things do or don’t work for you that’s cool too because everyone is different!
