Coachella Weekend 1 Recap

noreply@blogger.com (Tabbitha Banuelos) — Thu, 18 Apr 2013 22:44:00 +0000

This past weekend was the first for most of our group and the best way to describe our experience is: EPIC. The laughs, the photos, the bands, DJs, sand storms, long nights and endless walking... you find yourself asking "When can we go back?" Technically, this weekend, however, the wise and responsible adult knows it's best to wait a year.

Solange Knowles and R. Kelly made an appearance on stage, and celebrities such as Hilary Duff, Katy Perry, and the Hilton sisters were spotted among the crowd. A few of our favorites were Local Natives, Dog Blood, Passion Pit, the XX... actually we could go on forever.

While the music take center stage the style doesn't sit on the sidelines. You can't help but look around at the sometimes eccentric outfits. Patterns, bright colors, floral, lace and even leather grace the festival. Below are a few snapshots from Coachella as well as outfits we loved via pinterest. For those hitting the festival this weekend, here's our must-haves!

Taylor Swift is feeling "22" + Get Her Look!

noreply@blogger.com (Tabbitha Banuelos) — Thu, 14 Mar 2013 13:00:00 +0000

We might not be Taylor Swift... 23, blonde, dating numerous A-listers, singles at the top of the charts, and millions of young girls and women looking up to us, but we do love hanging out with our girl-friends, dancing, and dressing in style. Taylor Swift's new video for "22" was released yesterday and we can already see millions of girls singing along. (Yes, we're one of them)
The video consists of what we envision summer to be like, bonfires, friends, dancing, parties, memories and laughs. The video looks to be filmed in the instagram filter valencia to perfectly accompany her hipster ensembles. While other sites are over-analyzing her outfits and lyrics, we simply enjoy this guilty pleasure song as we daydream of summer days AND nights to come.

There are numerous outfits we can't wait to replicate, below is our favorite. Get your hands on the budget version of Taylor Swift's outfit from the beginning of the video. You might even have some of the items below already in your closet. Which outfit from the video is your favorite?

Fedora Hat Denim Shorts Wildfox Couture Shirt Bracelets Heart Sunglasses Red Lipstick Black Booties

Motto Monday

noreply@blogger.com (Tabbitha Banuelos) — Mon, 11 Mar 2013 23:20:00 +0000

Have you ever doubted yourself? Ever been in a situation and think 'I don't think I can do this'? We have all been there, more than once, personally more than ten times in the past year. Not very confident, are we?

Surprisingly enough, the outcome of most of those situations turn out quite nicely. Better than expected. Your self-doubt only make matters worse and ultimately can hurt your chances of doing something great. Therefore, like the quote says, you have a lot more to offer than you give yourself credit for. You shouldn't second guess yourself, nor should you think even remotely for a second you cannot do something. That single second gives you the time to fear, and we all know "the only thing we have to fear, is fear itself."

Friday Find: Refresh for Spring!

Justin Timberlake, suiting up for 'Legends of the Summer'

noreply@blogger.com (Tabbitha Banuelos) — Thu, 28 Feb 2013 14:00:00 +0000

Justin Timberlake is without a doubt showing us a few things. The video, if you have not seen it, is in black and white (of course), and was directed by David Fincher (Fight Club, The Social Network). The video is a perfect fit to the song; classic-feel with a bit of dancing and Jay-Z.
There were mixed reviews about "Suit & Tie" and while I am in no where near being a music critic, I expected something different from Justin. I suppose the fact that "Sexy Back" continues to be a favorite of mine, my expectations and long await for his comeback was too much to live up to.(Since he was obviously thinking of me in the recording studio; one could only hope). But artists must grow and therefore Justin's single is a stepping stone in a new direction. One in which I'm sure all fans are excited to see.
Regardless of my opinion or anyone else's for that matter, his concert tour with Jay-Z called "Legends of the Summer" will without a doubt, sell out. Tickets go on sale today at 10am on Ticketmaster. And yes, along with thousands of other fan-girls, I will be trying to get a ticket.

This is more like it... "Mirrors"

How To: Create Romantic Waves with Heidi Klum

noreply@blogger.com (Moderne Shopmoderne.com) — Thu, 21 Feb 2013 14:00:00 +0000

Heidi Klum and hair expert Eric Gabriel teach you how to get sultry waves. Inspired

by the classic 20's era hairstyle, it's perfect for date nights or a night out with your

girl-friends. Whatever the occasion, you'll fall in love with it!

What you'll need:

- hair curler

(medium size)

- thermal spray

(protects & sets the hair)

- hair clips

(to hold sections of hair, while working on others)

- boar bristle brush

(won't pull hair, gentle as well)

Now, once you have everything you need to get started, head over to

Heidi Klum on AOL for the tutorial. Good luck!

// SPOTTED! //

You might recognize the lovely model in the how to video. It is none other

than Morgan, who can be seen all over Moderne's social media outlets.

She was one of our models for our holiday shoot last fall (see below) and was a

pleasure to work with.

Mink Pink Jumper // Grey Pants // Booties // Purse

If you've read any fashion site or blog in the past few months you more
than likely spotted a graphic sweatshirt. They grasp your attention and can be worn
numerous ways; fashion forward or subtle chic.Mink Pink's 'ROAR' jumper is
no exception. This exclusive print fits true to size and has fitted sleeves.
Layer above a blouse or denim shirt. Best part? You can wear all year round.

I have yet to meet a girl who says she has too many blouses. We all know there
is always another great blouse to be bought and worn; Mink Pink's 'Sweet Shop'
blouse is a perfect example. This long sleeved collared sleeved top is in a
beautiful mint color, covered in polka dots and sports a slightly longer hem in the back.
Great go-to top to throw on with denim shorts or pants.

Albert Einstein knew best. Always have fun with what you do. Great things will be the result.

This quote touches base on the very favorable quote, "do what you love, and love what you do". When you have found something you are passionate about, you through yourself into it. It doesn't feel like work, it doesn't irritate you or leave you feeling tired and unfulfilled. Some might say it's rare to do something you love. However, after my fair share of research and countless blog posts later, I am 100% positive if you find something you truly love, you will do everything you can to get it.

It has encouraged me to work hard, embrace the long nights of writing and editing, and keep striving to learn more and be inspired by everything around me. And guess what? It's been fun, because I love what I'm doing.

Happy Monday!

Beauty Post: Celebrity Hair Trend

noreply@blogger.com (Moderne Shopmoderne.com) — Thu, 24 Jan 2013 14:00:00 +0000

While you might have already been sporting the deep part (like myself), it had a big presence at the 2013 Golden Globes. From "Rachel Berry" Lea Michele to always stunning Megan Fox, A-listers brought their hair A-game.

Each lady had a different approach to the deep part. Most implemented the old hollywood waves, but had unique twists to their look. Jennifer Lopez, swept her part over as well as Nicole Ritchie. Messy or perfectly curled, to the right or left, this hair trend is here to stay.

Remember, this look can be worn at any time.

Retro waves are best for nights out and a bit messy and loose during the day.

Have fun and happy styling!

People will always surprise you, good and bad.

Giving up is being defeated. Anything is possible, remember people can change.

While you should look for the good in people remember you can not change someone, moving on is not giving up on someone but allowing yourself to live the life you deserve, eventually all will fall into place.

Friday Find: Prabal Gurung Fever!

noreply@blogger.com (Moderne Shopmoderne.com) — Fri, 18 Jan 2013 17:30:00 +0000

It's official, the love bug has hit us early this season with the Target collaboration

with Prabal Grugung. With the recent release of the lookbook,

we were amazed and in awe of what is to come for this year.

Is it safe to say that this may be a more fab collab than the one with Missoni?

We spy bold colors, funky prints and florals! We always knew the florals would make a comeback and we couldn't be more thrilled. Just in case you have been living under a rock and haven't seen the latest lookbook, here are a few of our favorites.

#1: A printed sweater and basic skirt are the perfect match

#2: Make a statement with one BOLD color

#3: Play with textures

Our Moderne look for the road: MINKPINK Melody Dress

P.S. Can't forget about our favorite celebs rocking Prabal Grugung.

We had the amazing opportunity to work with photographer Nicole L. Hill in LA this past weekend. The experience of running around and finding hidden gems to snap some photos is one for the books. It was a great way to start 2013 for Lovemoderne. Our model, Sara Lucassen, had the perfect attitude for our “Boy Meets Girl” looks.

We decided to mix it up with a little flannel from JACHS and girly-spunk from Wildfox. Featured above are the following:

Sometimes you tend to want things around you to stay the same, to stay as is.

You wish for love to last, best friends to always be there, summer days to remain full of parties and all-nighters, and life to remain blissful. If that were so, you wouldn't be able to grow as a person and experience everything life has to offer.

Do not fear change, embrace it, accept it.

Remember, don't try to change the things that can't be undone.

Move past it and toward something worth creating.
