My Style: Garage Festival

Today's Look:  is all about LOVING Garage, a Montréal-based company owned by Groupe Dynamite, Inc., which designs, creates, markets, and distributes beautiful clothes and accessories.  I have followed Garage's website and blog because their style is trendy, fresh, young, and fun.  I saw that they were offering a contest to win a trip to Montréal, Québec, to be Garage's official, onsite blogger correspondent during the Osheaga Music & Arts Festival 2014.  I am excited to announce that I am one of twelve finalists and am featured on their blog at http://blog.garageclothing.com/2014/06/garage-festival-contest-semifinalist-shelly-stuckman/.  I'd appreciate my lovely readers checking out their blog post and leaving a comment.  Winners will be announced on July 14th, so send positive karma my way!  Now for the outfit, I'm wearing a darling striped cropped halter tank, retro-inspired high-waisted roller shorts, a beautiful festival tunic shrug, a delicate double tier pendant necklace, and funky clear sunnies for a great festival look.  Additionally, I added a Garage cell phone case, Steve Madden booties, numerous jewelry pieces, and a woven backpack.  Hope your summer is going great and let me know about any music festivals you have enjoyed!  Xoxo, Shelly

Fashion Tip:  High-waisted "roller" shorts are the new cut-offs.  Having no front pockets, they have a slim, flattering fit.  Being retro, stylish, and sexy all at the same time, I say they are a summer closet must!  

My Style: Orange Crush

Today's Look:  is still about Coachella dreamin’.   The headlines are stating that Beyoncé and Gwen Stefani graced the stages at Coachella as a special surprise for attendees.  Well, if I can’t be there, at least I can still dress up and have fun like I'm at the music festival.  To begin, I chose a tribal patterned, swing crop top that matched my white-washed orange shorts.  Adding a little more of a 1970's feel, I wore woven stacked friendship bracelets and a crocheted purse. To stay protected from the sun, I wore a wide-brimmed hat and colorful, mirrored sunglasses featuring shades of orange and pink.  The gladiator sandals by Lucky Brand created a perfect last boho detail.  Obviously, I've been a little obsessed with Coachella and all the fashion trends that are created at the two weekend event--next year, I'm hoping to get a group together and go crazy :)  I better start saving up now...  Xoxo, Shelly

Fashion Tip:  On a sunny, warm day, a black, wide-brim hat not only adds style to an outfit, but also provides protection from the sun--perfect for long days out at festivals.
