Back Like They Never Left
It was just last year that the only person who could get away with wearing pointy toed pumps was Rih, well I guess she was determined to keep the point alive because, its bizzack.
The pointy toed pump is back and its more fab than ever.
I have to admit, I'm glad to see it back in a chic fashion as opposed to the unflattering super point that made your feet look miles long.
Rock them with a cigarette pant, cropped trouser, or flirty dress.
This season classic black is a must...and this go-round we're playing with the bows, pastels, and suedes with our points.
Jazz up your look with the brightest points.
By far my fav style for the pointy toe this season is the silver tipped points, trademarked by the Louis Vuitton Merry-Go-Round collection
You can find these looks all over, zara, topshop, asos, etc.
Polyvore looks styled by yours truly.

Style Light: I'll Pencil You In
Hello my loves, I've decided to do a weekly focus on a specific trend that I think is yummy or influential to the fashion industry. This new feature is going to be called Style Light (get it?...kinda like spotlight...ehhh whatevs...). The point of this feature is to keep my readers up to date on the new trends, as well as to give you guys different ways to execute these trends. I know my readers are all very different and I don't want to leave anyone out when I focus on specific trends, so if I do leave out your particular style, let me know and I will create a look that goes with your specific style ;).
So lets get down to the nitty gritty, I discovered this new online thingy called Palyvore and it is truly heaven sent! It allows me to shop all of these amazing brands, styles, and trends and put them in a cart (just like online shopping) and then I can create looks with the pieces that I have in my cart. So I can style without leaving my apartment! I'm in love, I promise I am!!! This is another way for me to give you guys an idea of my style as well as a way for me to hopefully inspire some of you on your style adventures!
Ok so the first Style Light will shine on pencil skirts...
The Pencil Skirt evolved from the hobble skirt which was a pre-WW1 fad, these were the skirts that came really tight at the ankles. So gals tripped around all day until they got hip, and figured out that it was time for a new trend.
The Hobble Skirt
French designer, Christian Dior brought us the classic modern pencil skirt in the 1940s, and he called it the "H-line skirt"(because of the shape).
When Christian Dior introduced the pencil skirt in the 40s
There's our girl!!! ...Marilyn M. was one of the style icons of her time, and she was known for sporting a pencil skirt or 10 in her day.
In the 40s, the ladies wore their pencil skirts to work for the most part, but gals now days have figured out how to add some spunk to their pencil skirts, and now they can be perfect for any occasion...

Bellow are some looks that I created on Polyvore with pencil skirts.
glitz n glam it up.
Tone down a colorful outfit with black opaque tights and black pumps. This is also a good way to make use of your summer pieces in the fall.
Texture, need i say more?
Funky Prints, oversized jumper and knee high boots.
Colorblocking
The spectacularly feathered Pencil Skirt at the top that I told you guys to guess for was designed by Sarah Burton, the lady who inherited the late Alexander McQueen's Iconic line. This is a piece from Alexander McQueen 2011
*All of the runway designs were from each designer's Fall 2011 line*
Be inspired guys and keep shining your light! :)
