March 3rd, 2017 by Samantha Weaver Meet Courtney!
Please help me welcome Courtney of Pretty Little Fawn to the Crossroads Style Council! We’ve been following Courtney both on-screen and via her blog rather obsessively this year, so—needless to say—we’re a bit giddy. It’s no secret we get our fair share of denim inspiration directly from Courtney, and lately we’ve been equally mesmerized by her covetable collection of neutrals, basic tees, and killer shoes.
Denim-obsessed with a love of vintage.
While Courtney is a skinny denim enthusiast, we can only call her recent play with voluminous trouser silhouettes masterful. Her dreamy vintage-inspired style mixes richly hued pieces that play up her red hair and leave you wondering how to get an ounce of the personal style she evokes with seemingly no effort!
We are so excited to welcome Courtney on board and can’t wait to see her style diary evolve with Crossroads!
Stay tuned to Pretty Little Fawn and Courtney’s IG for more on her favorite pieces from Crossroads!
March 1st, 2017 by Melanie Sutrathada 6 Style Tips for Wearing Frayed Hems
Gone are the days when skinny jeans and boyfriend jeans were the only denim staples you owned. If you’re looking to upgrade your wardrobe, get things rolling by adding frayed hem denim to your closet. The style options are endless!
Nail frayed hem style by trying these looks below.
There’s something about denim mini skirts with frayed hems that comfortingly reminds us of our middle school wardrobe. We love how tag-team bloggers Alice and Hannah of Belle and Bunty styled their skirts with button-downs to update this nostalgic trend.
One of the best things about frayed hems is that they instantly elevate a casual shirt-and-jeans look to be fashion-forward! If you’re looking for a pair of pants that are stylish enough for Sunday brunch with your gal pals, jeans with frayed hems are the way to go.
This trend is all about maximizing on the details. That being said, the thicker the fray, the better!
Nothing is more now than a pair of black denim jeans with frayed hems. Step your fashion game up a notch by donning them with black loafers, glasses and a hat.
Try this trend with over-sized outerwear for an easy, cozy look. Frayed hem jeans peek out alluringly beneath a long cardigan or coat.
Create a sophisticated look that isn’t too over-the-top by styling this type of denim with a minimalist blouse.

The weather is warming up and stores are switching over to their spring and summer lines. This year, it’s all about fun, bold, and quirky pieces, including shoes.

All Wrapped Up
Lace-up sandals and heels will be everywhere this season and are such a fun alternative to a traditional flat or heel.

February 22nd, 2017 by Melanie Sutrathada Round-Up: 6 Chic Ways to Wear Yellow
Yellow has been making a big appearance in bloggers’ wardrobes. It’s a color linked with optimism and positive energy, so it only seems natural that we would gravitate toward wearing it more around spring! Embrace this playful color with one piece of clothing, or build your entire ensemble around it. Venture into different shades—it’s a more versatile hue than you make think!
Here are six fail-proof ways to wear yellow that’ll have you turning heads in no time.
–
1.
For those who are shy about wearing this bright hue, ease into it by picking pieces in a darker shade. It doesn’t take much for a simple yellow skirt to pack a punch!
2.
One way to effortlessly wear yellow is by choosing a dress with intricate features like lace, ruffles, or statement sleeves (or all three)!
3.
Add a dose of style to your office wardrobe by pairing yellow pieces with neutral colors. Take a fashion cue from La Georgienne and liven up your work attire with mustard-colored pants.
4.
Want to incorporate yellow into your outfit, but don’t want it to be too distracting? Drape a biker jacket over a yellow top, and style it with either neutral bottoms or a pair of blue jeans.
5.
If you ask me, the only thing that can top Coldplay’s “Yellow” is Micah Gianelli’s bold fashion statement of going full-on yellow. If the monochromatic combination is too overpowering for you, wear a black belt and black shoes to break up the look.
6.
There’s something about a bright coat that says you’re not afraid to go against the grain. Reach for one the next time it’s a little chilly out and you’ll really stand out.
What are your favorite ways to wear yellow?
