Take Me Out To The Ballgame…

Opening Day for Major League Baseball (MLB) is March 31, kicking off with the Astros vs. the Rangers. For all you fashionistas who are MLB fans, (or get dragged to games by their significant others), this post is for you! It can be a challenge when dressing for a baseball game to look stylish yet casual, and still be prepared for possible cold weather as the game stretches from day to night. Never fear! For Elyse is coming to your rescue, with a slew of outfit inspiration, perfect for looking your best at summer sporting events.

If painting your face, or wearing head-to-toe team  colors isn’t your style, but you’d still like to give a nod to your favorite team, consider our extensive collection of eyeshadows! Coming in a wide assortment of colors, our deluxe shadows go on sheer, but can be layered for a stronger look to suit your mood. Although our site has every color under the sun, my two favorites are the Cape Blue, a rich royal blue, and the Silver Blue, a soft, sheer color that looks really fantastic layered with other hues.

Eyeshadows

 For a casual look that holds an edge, try the Flying Monkey Color Splash Skinny Jeans in Magenta, paired with the Lush Bringing Lacey Back Top in white. These two pieces work great together, but don’t look too fussy or overly styled.

Baseball Game Outfit

One of the great things about this outfit is that a wide variety of shoe choices will look great, and you can tailor your choice based on what kind of weather you’re contending with. For warm-weather games, try the Delicious Clean Wedges or the City Classified Delva Sandals.

Summer SandalsIf you’re worried that when the sun goes down you might get a little chilly, try the Soda Faddy Flats, or the Fortune Dynamic Oak Boots, which look great with skinny jeans or tights and a skirt.

Shoes To Wear To Baseball Game

Another look I love for any sporting event is the Sis Sis Take Me Out Top, paired with some Flying Monkey Color Splash Jeans in any color. Here I chose to pair them with the Rose color to soften up the look, but they’re really versatile.

 

Baseball Outfit

Layering is always a great idea for baseball games, as they tend to stretch from day to night. Packing a scarf or jacket is a good call, and something you’ll probably be glad you have later. Try the Butterscotch Infinity Scarf, or the Boho Striped Scarf for an easy look that pairs well with most outfits.

Scarves

Try topping off your look with some jewelry that reads as classy but casual. I love the Tribal Locket, or the Fallen Leaf Necklace. If Earrings are more your speed, try the Helena Earrings,

Jewelry

Lastly, a great bag to take to the game is the Saddle Up Stud Crossbody Bag, which is small and casual, but can still hold your wallet, keys and cell phone.

Spring Trend Alert: Pretty in Pastels

With the new year right around the corner we’re all excited about the spring fashion trends, especially pastels! These subdued hues give off light, feminine vibes that can be styled anywhere from flirty to fierce with the right accents. This isn’t a groundbreaking trend either, pastels are spring staples just like florals and light layers, so feel free to indulge in some cool pastels this season! The spring runway shows were bursting with gentle shades of pink, blue, lilac, and green on pants, dresses, bags, you name it. Alexander McQueen‘s honeycomb yellow gown and Dior‘s metallic pastel bubble dresses might be a little harder to pull off, but will monochrome ensembles like Oscar de la Renta‘s rose shorts and sweater and Carolina Herrera‘s preppy blue and cream look inspire some light-colored fashion choices of your own?

If these pleasantly pale colors have caught your eye, you can snag some pastel pieces from ForElyse.com. Nude heels like these Delicious Rigby Pumps are a great way to work the trend with anything from your LBD to jeans, or maybe this Alythea Shimmer Me Timbers Dress in soft pink. I’m personally in love with this tea green Tara Purse and the minty green Sis Sis Stud-Struck Top to mix these lady-like tones into your everyday wardrobe.

New York Fashion Week Fav’s: Moncler Gamme Rogue

In the spirit of Halloween, I saved the best for last in our series of favorite designers from Mercedes Benz New York Fashion Week! One of the wackiest and most acclaimed shows was by Moncler Gamme Rouge in his couture resort wear Spring 2013 Fashion Show! Rouge put on a show that literally catapulted the audience into the future with Japanese inspired looks that had a touch of mod. All of the looks, including the bell boys, reminded me of the 90s movie”The 5th Element” in regards to the fashions worn by the futuristic flight attendants. If ti was the year 2506 and i was going on vacation to a total tropical island in the Andromeda galaxy, I would certainly rock all of Moncler Gamme Rouge‘s looks! Quite inspiring I must say!

What is that studly object on her sleeve… and her shoes… and her nails?!  How could anyone miss the Stud trend that has been taking over every fashion item in America! Studs have become the new fashion crazy and you can literally put them anywhere such as a jacket, bra, shorts, and even your nails! Studs have become so popular and make it very easy to turn your trendy wardrobe into a rockers dream!

 

One of my favorite studded pieces has been a strapless bra, but they are so hard to find studded and when you do its kind of expensive! Well I have the solution for you:a DIY Studded Bra Tutorial!This Bra looks great paired with a high waist-ed high low skirt or maxi skirt. You can even do this with a bustier that adds more coverage or even a tube top that has a built in bra.

Here is what you will need:

  • An Old Strapless Bra (tube top, bustier, etc)
  • A dozen or so Studs
  • A pair of pliers
  • A knife

Step One: Take the knife and make a small slit where you want to stud to be.

Step Two: Add the stud and bend down the tines in the back

Repeat step one and two to created a studded pattern that is flattering to your shape! That’s it! A fab studded bra super fast and for about half the price of a pre-made one! Then you will have the satisfaction to say when you receive compliments, “I made it myself!’

Friday Favorite: Ombre, Ombre, Ombre

Ombre! The word that has been falling out of the mouths of everyone in fashion, Hollywood, and every store in America! The ombre trend has swept like wildfire over this past summer season has taken over fashion and beauty! One of the most popular trends has been ombre highlights and worn by celebs like Khloe Kardashian, Drew Barrymore, and Jessica Biel! The ombre highlights trend brought new meaning to grown out room! The trick is when you go into your salon, have your stylist add tons of peak-a-boo highlights to give the ombre affect! You can also go more daring and add colored ombre highlights like Jessie J and Lauren Conrad! Adding pastel tips into your hair can really give you a funky edge that will definitely make you stand out!

The cascading fade from one color to another has been taken to a new level and polished onto nail art! Reflecting the colors of a sunset, the ombre nail trend is great with different shades of pastel in the same color family. The best way to apply is with a makeup spnge, paint the colors onto the sponge and apply over nails. Voula! You will have the cutest ombre nails that will definitely get you so many compliments!

Ombre has swept over the world of fashion as well on the red carpet, the runway, and fashion blogs all over the internet! Just recently, singer Beyonce wore a black and purple ombre dress by Givenchy Haute Couture by Riccardo Tisci at the 2012 Met Gala Awards where she showed off her rocking post-baby body! Singer Cheryl Cole dazzled at Queen Elizabeth’s 60th Diamond Jubilee wearing a stunning Spring 2012 Couture gown by Polish designer Ewa Minge! The black and white ombre dress made Cole look like she was floating as she sang Lady Antebellum’s “Need You Now.” Ombre has also been all over the Spring/Summer 2012 Runway shows in forms of dresses, tops, skirts, and shorts!

I know that ombre shorts can either be hard to find or on the pricier side, so here is a quick little DIY Ombre shorts project! Here is what you will need:

  • Jean Shorts
  • Measuring Cup
  • Bottle of liquid dye
  • Bucket
  • Rubber Gloves
  • Water

Step One: Rinse your shorts with water

Step Two: Add 2 gallons of hot water to bucket along with 1/3 cup of dye. Mix well

Step Three: Dip shorts in half way and set for 10 minutes. After the time is up, pull shorts up exposing half of the dyed part. Leave the last part in for another 10 minutes to get a darker shade of color on the bottom.

Step Four: Remove shorts and rinse until the water runs clear. Hang out to dry to let dye set!

There you have it! Easy ombre shorts and trust me you will be feeling trendy every time you wear these beauties!
