Hi guys,

I know it's been a while since I've posted anything and I am not trying to make excuses. There are a few things happening right now that have greater importance so I'm focusing on that. But I don't want to leave my blog hanging so today, we are doing another post for the From the Big Screen #FTBS series! By request, I am styling outfits from the movies, Me Before You. I have yet to see it but it looks like an interesting romance movie (which I am always down for!).

Leave it down below or tweet me @asmallbit what movie I should do next :)

I won't bore you guys with long winded explanations but basically, I took inspiration from each of these snippets from the movie to create outfits with a similar feel. Some are more 'accurate' than others. Which one was your favorite?

Hello my dears! I hope you're having a great week!

Today, we're gonna talk about celebrity fashion, specifically denim. Denim is one of those staple materials that gets recycled over the years in a variety of silhouettes and washes. It's versatile and can either be really chic/classy or down-to-earth. Here's a few celeb looks featuring denim and outfits that I created inspired by these looks!

All of these outfits are loosely interpreted but I hope that it gave you some inspiration :) I think spring is a great time to refresh the wardrobe so dig around, find old pieces that you haven't worn in a while, and find new ways to style them!

Hope you enjoyed this post...let me know which outfit was your favorite! Or tweet me @asmallbit :)

Hello dears~ How has your week been so far? We are so close to the weekend!! As promised, I have returned with another post for the From The Big Screen genre. This time, by request, I decided to style outfits based on some of the movie posters and scenes from The Divergent Series: Allegiant. I haven't actually watched this movie but I know it's pretty popular with the younger crowd. That being said, it was really difficult finding wearable outfits to interpret from the movie. Let me know how you would have styled things differently or if you have any other movie suggestions for the next post, please leave it below! Or Tweet me suggestions @asmallbit using the hashtag #FromTheBigScreen.

These are all loose interpretations of the outfits featured in the movie. The main idea is to take bits and pieces and make it applicable for your own wardrobe. So here, I've actually included outfits for the male and female character; two white dresses styled in a modern, funky way and in a classier, demure way as well as a basic, down-to-earth look for the guy. I would say to make the guy's outfit more current by adding a bomber jacket and choosing a slimmer fit for the pants. This way, it keeps the roughness but appears less undone.

How can you not love these outfits? It's all-black everything! Or that's how I wanted to style it. In the poster, her clothing actually looks a lot more worn out so the color might not be black. It seems a bit navy to me. However, I wanted to maintain this strong and take-on-the-world attitude with the outfits so I chose black. The one on the left is closer to what she's wearing but the one on the right is a sexier version of that. I could see this being a fun look for clubbing! Or throw on a leather jacket and it becomes just a very cool go-out-with-the-girls outfit.

In this last pairing, I decided not to include the pants because it's a bit hard to see exactly what she's wearing. You could wear any of these with a nice trouser or skinny pant. You could honestly even get away with a black body-con skirt. The outfit on the right is the most work appropriate outfit and it becomes increasing casual as you move to the left. I love that all of these outfits have a very powerful feeling to them and it makes sense, given the theme of the movie.

As spotted on Vogue.co.uk, the Valentino models were seen sporting a romantic and youthful plait hairstyle for the Spring/Summer collection of 2012. Celebrities like Alexa Chung and Scarlett Johansson have begun to adapt this trend into their own fashion and style.

So why is this hairstyle the perfect hairstyle for these upcoming warmer months?

Well...

For one thing, it's an updo, essentially. Of course, it can be worn with your hair down but for the purpose of this post, let's just assume that it's an updo. Because of this, it's a great way to avoid a whole bunch of hair sticking to the back of your neck! If you have bangs or can't stand it when hair falls to the front of your face (like me!), the braided bit will be perfect for eliminating that problem.

As you can see, there are many ways to change up the style according to what you prefer. Some like the plait a little looser for a more casual and purposely-messy look and others like it tight and neat.

Here are a few Youtube tutorials that will hopefully guide and give you some ideas for how to create your own braided updo!
