Cardigan Trends

The cardigan is a versatile fall essential. You can wear it as a jacket or a sweater–the cardigan was made to layer over tees and tanks! This season’s hottest styles include longer open designs and those with sash-closures instead of buttons or zippers.

Today’s cardigan trends give you more options than the preppy essential that your grandmother probably dons. You can wear it over a tunic and jeggings or a casually chic shift dress. Wear these cardigans with whatever you deem modern. Here are a few of my favorite styles!

TEMPTU Dereon Temporary Tattoos

Who says fake tattoos are strictly for the kids? Created by Tina Knowles and modeled by Beyonce, the new Temptu Dereon Temporary Tattoo Collection is the perfect option for fashionistas to go edgy without committing to a real tattoo. These chic tattoos are also easy to apply.  Each kit includes eight tattoo sheets(thats about 34 temporary tattoos) and 10x application pads. These tattoos are of cosmetic grade which means they precisely transfer to your skin and last longer than most temporary tatoos(about 3 days longer).  These hypoallergenic tatts come in a variety of fun and edgy designs like stars, bolts, monochromatic jewel baubles, and even the signature Dereon Fleur design.

Temptu Dereon Temporary Tattoo Collection retails for $16 at Sephora.com exclusively. They are also limited edition.

Its In The Details

Sometimes the only thing that matters when it comes to fashion is the details. I’m talking specifically about jewelry. You can instantly transform your entire look with just a few pieces of jewelry; you can also create a variety of looks with just one piece. The good news is that jewelry is one item that you can never own too much of–and its also often more affordable than a new pair of jeans or a dress! Love jewelry as much as I do? Check out a few of my favorite jewelry pieces in different styles.
