We’ve come to know this woman as a fashionista-the type who just gets outfit proportions, layering tricks, and how to pull off the trend of the moment. Sure, her styling prowess may have many pndering…how does she always make it seem so easy? Does she have a stylist?. She may have a stylist or she may be the brains behind it all and the fashion craze.
We’ve studied the styling habits of some really chic women and put together all the tips and tricks you need to know. Just scroll on for the styling secrets most fashionistas live by.
Master the Basics First
Fashion girls aren’t above the basics; they just know how to rock them. T-shirts, skinny black pants, and a classic pump are all among stylish women’s must haves.
2 Change Your Look With Layers
In a fashion girl’s closet, a sheath dress isn’t just a sheath dress, it might also be a jumper. They look to transform staples like a great LBD into a fabulous day dress by adding a collared shirt or pretty blouse underneath. Just start experimenting with your layers; you never know what combinations you’ll love.
3 Dont be afraid to mix prints!
Whoever said you couldn’t wear stripes with polka dots had no idea just how cool they would look together. Fashion girls never play by rules like that, mixing up splashy prints with ease. If you’re new to the print game, look for patterns that have a similar color scheme to start, then work your way up to bolder, brighter combinations.
4 Do the Half-Tuck
Tucking in your shirt has become something of an art form, and naturally fashion girls are really, really good at it. The half-tuck has been embraced by bloggers and street style darlings for its effortlessly chic feel, and getting the tuck just right is sort of like styling 101 for them. Just tuck the front in and let the tail hang out for the right effect.
5 Roll Up Your Sleeves
There’s more than one way to wear a button-down. It might just be the easiest trick in the book, but rolling up your sleeves makes a big difference. It depends on the shirt and the look you’re going for, but rolled sleeves feel more lived-in and a little more purposefully styled.
6 Knot It
Tees are meant to be twisted, rolled, and knotted — and stylish girls are adept at working them all the right ways. Knotting them at the waist is an essential styling trick that helps define your figure and can help you repurpose a dress as a skirt. Simply add a button-down or t-shirt over your dress and knot it at the waist to create the illusion of a top and skirt. How’s that for layering?
7 Belt It
For waist definition or an added outfit perk, girls like Olivia Palermo know the value of belting it. A skinny one like hers lends polish to finish an ensemble, while a wider leather belt can define curves and slim the body.
8 Drape Your Jacket
Outerwear becomes infinitely more chic when it’s draped nonchalantly over the shoulders, rather than worn with the arms through the sleeves. It’s fashion, not function.
9 Embrace New Trends
. . . just not all at once. You’ll never see a really chic girl going full-throttle into this season’s trends. Instead, fashion girls like Hanneli Mustaparta take on the season’s must-have pieces, like overalls or statement shades, and mix them with no-fail favorites, like ankle-strap heels and a great tee, to give it their own spin.
10 Again, (Really) Change Your Look With Layers
It goes beyond dresses and jackets; fashion girls get creative with their layers. Try adding a tube top or crop top over a button-down or t-shirt, and watch the compliments roll in.
11 Have a Uniform
Sure, fashion girls are bold and brave when it comes to trends, but they’re also pros at crafting their own personal style, and no one does it better than Emmanuelle Alt. Her pared-down, Parisian-chic aesthetic is her signature, and it gets her photographed as much as any blogger peacocking around the tents during Fashion Week. Sometimes, it’s not about knowing every trend, it’s just about knowing what works for you.
12 Dress Up Your Boyfriend Jeans
While boyfriend jeans are cool, fashion girls know they’re even cooler when you juxtapose them with more sophisticated, dressed-up pieces, like heels and great jewels. It’s the fashion girl’s take on sexy, and it works every time.
13 Add a Striped Shirt to Just About Anything
It’s a known fact in the fashion world that striped shirts go with everything. They’re perennially chic and easy to style, calling to mind great Parisian fashion icons every time you do. What’s more stylish than that?
14 Add a fun accessory!
Your outfit is not complete until you have added a fabulous accessory whether it be a bracelet, a hat or a fly handbag accessories can make or break an outfit. Want some color in a monotone outfit? add some color with accessories!
There you have it 14 great tips to help boost your style sense and have you being the envy of every woman walking down the street!

Procedure
Step 1) Bleach the hair if it is not bleached already with the .40 vol bleaching kit **TIP: Buy extensions that are already bleached or are very light in color such as #613 or #60**
Step 2) Start mixing your dye of choice with the white conditioner. As you want the color to get lighter add conditioner to the mix and as you want the color to get darker add more dye.
Step 3) Begin spreading color mixture all over the bleached hair making sure to coat the front and back of the piece. Seal the hair in aluminum foil and wait `for at least 3 hours for the hair color to set in. I personally advise letting the dye sit overnight for best results

Mercedes Benz New York Fashion Week took off on September 4, 2014 and gave the fashionistas and style blazers of the world a glimpse of what to expect to see flooding the streets and red carpets in Spring/Summer 2015.

After viewing many of the shows, Tribe appeal is here to give you a quick review of what the hot trends will be in the upcoming months. So get your pens, paper and credit cards ready and soak in this valuable and fashionable information!
1) WHITE
White can be seen all over many of the runway shows of NYFW. The crisp clean hue is going to be very popular for Spring/ Summer 15 as expected. This light color is easily paired with other colors and patterns and helps us keep cool in the warmer months. Whether it is the background of a print or being rocked solo, welcome this color into your new wardrobe.
2) ARTISANAL
Bright colors, rich fabrics and complex geometrical shapes have taken a stand and were heavily welcomed into 2015’s newest collections. The Artisanal trend explores embroidery, crafts, appliqué, embellishmen and 3-D florals. These elements are not only seen in clothing pieces, but shoes, handbags and jewelry as well.
3) AVANT POP
Avant pop has to be one of our favorite trends, This trend consists of bold prints, animated colors, abstract art and daring fabric manipulation. There’s one word to describe this trend and that is F-U-N! Beautiful colors and prints always make for outstanding outfits in the Summer and Spring, so it’s no surprise runways were flooded with this trend during NYFW.
4) STREAMLINE
Streamline or what we like to call “simple chic” is a classic trend that never goes out of style. During NYFW there were many collections that included minimalist design with straight and clean lines. The ultra modern appeal of these designs give the wearer a sleek and sophisticated silhouette. These designs are accompanied by the season’s hottest colors which will be blue, crimson, yellow and light rose.
Can’t wait until spring peeks its warm head out and we get to strut our stuff in the latest trends
