I ♥ This Magazine! (This Month's Magazine Choice): GLAMOUR Magazine

Every month I'll post different This Month's Magazine Choice' choices.

Here's whats in store in GLAMOUR Magazine this month. And why you should go pick up your own copy now!

Gracing the cover of GLAMOUR Magazine this month is movie veteran, Dakota Fanning. Check her out below!



On the cover, Dakota is rocking a cute Mickey Mouse cropped sweater with a bedazzling red, sequined skirt with gold, rhinestone bracelets.

Here’s what the 18-year-old actress had to share with the mag:

On if she’s having fun with the “fashion icon moment” she and sister Elle are having now…
“It’s really fun when you’re getting dressed for something. It’s not when you’re in the rain with an umbrella and trying to carry a case of water. Yep, that’s me, alone, coming from Duane Reade. I’m not wearing a bra. Deal with it.”

On if she was surprised when her Marc Jacobs perfume ad was banned in the U.K. in 2011 for being “sexually provocative.” [In the ad Fanning sits on the floor with a large perfume bottle between her legs.]
“Yeah, I was! If you want to read something into a perfume bottle, then I guess you can. But it’s also like, Why are you making it about that, you creep? I love Marc and trust him, and we just laughed about it.”

On being single: “Yeah. I don’t really date. I have a weird vision of relationships because my parents have known each other since second grade, and they got married right out of college. I’ve always thought that’s what it’s supposed to be like, and if it’s not, then I don’t want to waste my time on it. Even when I was 14, I was like, “I’m not gonna marry this person. What’s the point of doing it?” It’s not me being naive. I just know what it’s supposed to be like. And I think until I feel that, I cannot be bothered.”

On if she’d ever turn her love of clothes into a career a fashion designer…
“I don’t think so. I mean, I won ’t rule it out, because then one day I’ll be like, “I said that in Glamour in 2013, and here I am now [with my own line].” But when you know designers and see the work that they put into making their collection, and how much passion they have for that—I think that’s so amazing. And I don’t have the passion to design clothes. It’s nice to be able to grow up and know what you want to do…. I’m reminded of that every time I make a film.”

On what little sister Elle has taught her…
“She’s very uninhibited and will try pretty much anything. Even the way she dresses— she dresses totally for herself. She risks being made fun of…by me, which I sometimes do, because I’m an older sister! But I totally admire her and think she’s very cool.”

Check out some more pics of Dakota that also feature in the mag below!

Bright pieces have been seen all over the runway this season from New York Fashion Week to London Fashion Week. But without a doubt, the most eye-catching piece (literally!) are statement sunglasses.

These statement pieces not only add a pop of color to your typical spring ensemble, but they draw just the right amount of attention to your face.

These come in array of colors, from bubblegum pink to lemonade yellow, each more unique than the last.

Orange Statement Sunglasses:
These practically look good with everything! When pairing these sunglasses, you will want to wear a white top and dark jeans to balance out the colors that way your face will be the only thing to have a pop of color



Yellow Statement Sunglasses: 
With these, on the other hand, you can pair them with a white top and bright jeans as yellow pops even more when it is combined with a complementary color. Opt for a bright blue skinny jean for an eye-catching ensemble.

Seeing life through rose-colored glasses? This color is very girly and fun so you can take it a step further with your outfit by pairing these with a graphic tee and a light wash denim jean. This ensemble totally says "I'm ready to have fun!"

Denim Report: Acid Wash Jeans



This edgy yet cool style of denim has become more and more popular. They rock a kind-of 80’s vibe which gives off an effortlessly cool vintage vibe. From baggy, to high-waist, to skinny, these chic jeans can be sported in an array of different ways. Read on to discover more style inspiration on how to pair these cutting edge jeans.





Acid wash jeans are very retro and edgy. Because the jeans are so cool on their, own, the rest of your outfit should be kept neutral for an all together classy look.
I've put together the ultimate look for the basic acid wash jean that you can hopefully get inspiration for your your next outfit.




Here, I paired the jeans with a long, white sheer blouse as it adds feminism and classiness to the outfit paired with Chanel black and gold flats for glamor, a gold bracelet, chandelier earrings and a gorgeous cream handbag to tie it all together. This type of look is great for the working fashionista or the fahsionista-on-the-go.

Here is a picture of Miley Cyrus rocking her pair of acid wash jeans with a long, white tank and black oxford shoes. Very cute!


Let me know how you would pair your acid wash jeans!

The Run-Down on The Wedged Bootie



Finally! A post on wedged booties! (pauses for applause)..

Wedged booties have practically become a fashion staple that is suitable for just about any season. These stylish shoes come in an array of fabrics; from cotton, to suede, to leather and can be rocked with great little intricacies such as studs or fringe. Wedged booties are not only stylish but they add height and show off your legs in an amazing long, lean way. Read on for more fashion inspiration and see which shoe is just right for you.

Also, I am sure you are all aware with the fact that I am practically obsessed with wedged booties ( I include them in almost every post), so I want to give a more detailed inside look on these shoes.



The Leather Wedged Bootie

This more classy version is great 
for a more put-together, 
formal outfit. Pair this shoe with 
dark blue jeans and a 
sheer, white top for a feminine, 
mature look.














The Suede Wedged Bootie

This version is more easy-going. Its smooth texture adds a nice, clean touch.                                    
Pair this shoe with light wash denim skinnies
and a black or dark grey fleece top or sweater 
for a chic ensemble.








The Studded Wedged Bootie

This more edgy version is perfect for our 
rocker chick-rebel fashionista. If you are 
looking to make a bold statement with 
these babies, pair them with regular denims 
and a grey blazer for a feminine touch to your outfit.








The Fringe Wedged Bootie

This version is perfectly boho-chic as 
the earthy tones and fringelets totally scream 
mother nature. As the shoe itself is already 
laid-back and chic on its own, so should the 
rest of your outfit be. Pair these shoes with 
dark blue denims and a simple graphic or 
floral top (try not to overdo it with this one). 
A fringe wedged bootie also looks great with 
a matching fringe cross-body purse, as long 
as you keep the rest of your outfit simple and neutral.






Hope you enjoyed this post as much as me! Let me know which bootie is your absolute fav and which of these are in your closet.
