Cute Trends for 2013

Cute backpacks for middle school girls also walk that awkward line where your daughter may want something that’s adorable, but not too “babyish” or pink. It may be time to go with a more grown up style like a messenger bag, purse backpack or a sling bag. These will be cooler styles but they might not be as comfortable.

Take your hints from what else is happening in fashion. This includes a lot of canvas. You’ll find bows, stripes, and polka dots for all ages but this way it can still be sweet and cute while being a little bit more grown up.

Floral prints are huge on skinny jeans. It’s the sweetest style so look for leather accents. It looks great with jeans too. It can use pink, which may still be her favorite color even though she may be afraid to admit it.

If she has a favorite designer then pay a little bit more, even if it is just for a label. This is a piece she will have with her everyday so make sure it’s fashionable and more importantly that she feels good about it.

For a 1st Birthday

For her first birthday you can often find a 1 tshirt or applique to pair with any tutu or it could even be on a onesie. This style of dress is really popular even for everyday so make it appropriate for her party with this detail.

However, if you want a piece for the winter or Fall months you’ll have more difficulty so just find a long sleeve version with her party colors. Cupcakes and icecream are also common motifs.

Tutu Sets for Toddlers

This is a special piece that is perfect for almost any birthday girl because it is so photogenic. It’s not just dresses, there are also petti-rompers and petti-pants too. Would you use this for your kid?

You may want to get rolling backpacks for girls because you’re going on a trip or just for school. These can actually serve both purposes depending on the style and the size. Every store like Overstock, Gap, Target, or Wal-Mart has these. However, Amazon.com usually has these on sale or at least at a small discount. While Jansport and Roxy are popular for tweens and older girls I’ve chosen some sweeter designs for younger kids.

Make Sure It’s Practical

Check the weight of this. Sure, the wheels make it easier to maneuver but it won’t work on all surfaces. I learned this when I got my first backpack for college. It made life so much easier; until I had to lift it. Then I realized how much heavier it was than a traditional piece. The frame was just too much so I can only imagine what it would be like for a little kid.

You can also get an entire set and it may even fit together. This may include a matching lunch box, wallet, or water bottle. Sometimes these don’t have as many outside pockets and make sure it can fit any computer or books that she’ll need to take to school.

Fun Styles

Two tone looks. This includes both canvas and black and white damask. This is a more modern and graphic style and you’ll have to worry about it matching all of your outfits.

A strap or cinch style is probably the most popular fashion wise. Some even have thinner straps. I worry about how easy it is to open and close these all of the time but it’s definitely the cheapest around.

The last style is a sweet floral print like you would find on skinny jeans. This pattern is popular on almost everything for back to school this year. It’s not the easiest and most versatile to wear on jeans. However, since it has so many colors it’s fantastic to match almost every outfit with your backpack.

This is the least durable style because of the canvas fabric; it’s also usually much cheaper too. You may be sick of the floral print by next year anyways. While this is a really cute style I wanted to showcase some sets from Polyvore that show how it matches almost everything.

This category is often the most colorful with lots of patterns to choose from. However, you also need to be concerned about buying a piece just because it’s cute so you don’t sacrifice quality. The Laurex bag in #1 had a few problems with the stitching but customers seemed pretty happy with it overall. For school you’ll need lots of compartments like the Mobile one in $2.

This just depends on whether you need this for school or business. The SwissGear piece at Amazon.com had one of the higher number of reviews even though it’s designed for a smaller computer.

The top sellers all seemed to look very similar in dark black, gray, or green tones with more rugged styling.

The Case Logic DLBP-116 which is depicted in #3 had a lot of good reviews but students complained that there wasn’t enough room to keep all of their books and their computer in it too. The big problem with the Samsonite Luggage Vizair was that it’s supposed to fit a 17″ laptop but it only seems to handle a 15.6″ one at best.

For business you’ll want a sleeker looking bag. Typically shoulder and messenger bags are more popular but if you walk a lot this can be more comfortable and just as stylish.

The most important category here is just going to be the design of it. You don’t want to look like a college kid. Look for the same things you would in a typical briefcase even though no one carries these anymore. Leather is my favorite choice for the office. Usually dark brown, black, and navy tones are the best.

You’ll also want a slim or smaller fit so it looks more like a bag. These will typically have fewer pockets and not as many places for bottle holders. This is the most expensive category and it’s not something that you would take hiking with you probably. This category also has fewer reviews and fewer buyers but it is probably the most important style wise.

You can get this look pretty easily at a thrift store. You can also invest in a great dress or suit that you can wear all of the time. For Halloween though you’ll really want to pair all of the iconic accessories and clothes together. Pick some of the most iconic items from each character.

Joan Holloway Mad Men Costume

Her most iconic piece is probably her hair, so you’ll need a wig. This can be tricky because it’s usually pulled up and looks really finished and polished which isn’t the easiest to find in wig form.

Look for a solid color wiggle dress or a pencil skirt. This is all about picking the most flattering fit for you but also making sure that the color coordinates with your new red hair. However, Joan wears a lot of red which I’ve always thought that red heads try to avoid.

Her most iconic item is probably her pen necklace. This is a fun accessory for everyday too. The wig is what you’ll have to compromise on. You could go for a style that is down that has an obvious retro influence or instead just try a shorter version and be more obvious with your dress and accessories.

6. Detachable Headband Check Price

Betty has experienced a huge transformation in her looks even though she seems to be stuck with the same personality. She’s had a massive weight gain and changed her chair color too. The iconic Betty Draper look though includes heels and a wide circle skirt. Out of all of the dresses this one will probably be used again the least and may be mistaken for any 60s housewife. I’ve chosen colors that are more dramatic and stayed away from some of the sweet patterns she wears just because these styles can be worn again at least for evening or special occasions like a wedding.

Peggy Olson

The Peggy look is more comfortable and can use cardigans or suits. It uses a lot of menswear inspired tones like brown. You may not even need a wig for this style if you curl your bang and put it back in a ponytail. Her iconic look seems to have a lot of plaid in it though. In later seasons she does flip up her hair in the back and it’s slightly shorter.

Here are some sets from Polyvore about modern day inspired outfits by these three women.

Don Draper and Roger Sterling Costumes

You’ll need a suit for both of these and Banana Republic actually has a Mad Men inspired collection. Stick with a slim fit that is also more modern so you can wear it again. Use colors like gray or a dusty blue. Don’s hat will be easier to replicate although you may need a spray in dye to get Roger Sterling’s bright silver hair.

Will you be wearing a Mad Men inspired costume this year? I think Joan and Roger or Don and Betty would be a fun couples costume. You could even get your friends together to go as the entire case. Here are some of my favorite rockabilly dresses that can be used either for costumes or day use. Since they aren’t exact matches go over the top with the hair and jewelry tips to make it fun for Halloween.

The biggest problem was that the cheap metal would usually stain my finger. So when I found these sterling silver mood rings for sale I instantly fell in love with it. It looks like some rare gemstone. Most of these can be for men or women. I learned that it’s difficult to resize these and also you aren’t supposed to get them near water, maybe that’s why my much cheaper versions never seemed to work.

Stores like Hot Topic, Delias, and Macy’s have all embraced different logos. You can get cheap versions on Amazon.com and it can be part of your back to school wardrobe. I was surprised that there didn’t seem to be licensed versions at the ABC Family store. I could see any of these working for gym class. Which design is your favorite and who do you heart on the show so much that you’d wear a t-shirt with their name on it?

Sailor Outfits for Boys

1. Go with something that is machine washable. This may not be true of most vintage designs and sometimes it may even have to be ironed. While the classic color scheme is blue and white try a darker navy suit with a light stripe if you’re going to use it a lot to hide stains better.

2. Keep it comfortable. This can just be a onesie with an anchor on it that can be worn with little denim shorts. The cutest part is probably the hat anyways.

3. Use this as a dress costume. I’ve seen little boy tuxedos before but I think this is such a cute style and you can probably use the jacket with other outfits.

4. Choose a romper or a body suit. It can still have the trim or edging details but it will be cheaper and easier to care for.

Baby Sailor Outfit Patterns

I was expecting that there would be a lot more sewing patterns but most of these are for either knitting or crocheting.

For Girls

This style also works for baby girls. In fact you can find it in most sizes so it would make for adorable family photos with each kid in a different sailor style.

You may be sick of the basic pink for your baby girl. She can wear navy if it’s vintage inspired enough! I like dresses just for this reason because rompers can look like it’s more for a boy in this style.

Sticking with classic stripes looks less like a costume. It’s more casual and stripes are even popular in women’s fashion. It can also be combined with other trends like a tutu skirt.

Buy quality because this can be a keepsake piece. It may be one of her first photo shoots or your daughter’s christening dress. This is a memorable piece that she can even pass down to her daughters someday.

Cute Ideas for 2013

Pirates can wear longer skirts and tall boots. Unfortunately there is usually an off the shoulder style to the top. If you find a skirt with an uneven hem you can find your own peasant top and accessorize with a sword and a headband.

I was happy to check out the DC comics’ collection at Amazon.com. I was expecting a lot of accurate superhero costumes like Wonder Woman, which wouldn’t be that comfortable to wear. Look for a t-shirt and headband instead and it may even make you look thinner because of the contouring like on that episode of How I Met Your Mother.

Take characters from books like Lord of the Rings. Arwen dresses are elegant so you’ll still get a lot of attention without showing a lot of skin.

Use a dress that you already own like a little black dress. This saves you a lot of money and you can wear it again. For Audrey Hepburn her dress had a high neckline but more of a sleeveless sheath style in Breakfast at Tiffany’s. A simple dress with cap sleeves could work as long as you paired it with gloves or a tiara. Get a new pearl necklace to finish the outfit.

Usually these modest styles of costumes are so unflattering you literally have to dress like a nun to stay covered up. There are some cute and creative versions out there.

When you use wardrobe staples in your own closet you can take inspiration from Polyvore. However, you can tailor the neckline, sleeve length, and dress length to your modesty requirements. Here are some of my favorite creative ideas from Polyvore that you could make even more modest by shopping in your own closet.

Downton Abbey Halloween Costumes

I think this will be one of the most popular costumes for 2013. Some of the dresses are sleeveless. You might not need to wear these styles of dresses in your everyday life, but it’s fun for Halloween and you might be able to find it on eBay.

The Dowager Countess is the most covered up person on the show and she might be the most likely inspiration. However, how fun would it be to quote her all night?

Modest Halloween Costumes for Juniors

As difficult as it is to find one of these for women, it’s even worse for juniors. Look for steampunk accessory kits to pair with more modest pieces in a wardrobe. Plus, it’s even more socially scarring for a teen or tween to not feel good about their costume.

Pieces like poodle skirts can easily be paired with cardigans. Also you’ll want pieces that you can layer because most of these dresses will be pretty short. You’ll want to wear heavier leggings and even a camisole or long sleeve shirt underneath some of these.

Depending on the fabric you may be able to add onto the skirt with some tulle or organza like on a 80s punk or witches costume.
