Studs are a huge trend and as far as we can tell, they’re not going any where soon.

Everybody is wearing studs, even the girls that have a sweet-heart look.

Any kind of stud automatically makes an outfit edgier.

Since the stud fad came along, they are evolving into many different shapes and sizes but can portray differently from each other.

Some seem to be a lot more fierce than others.

The claw spike is a good example, it makes the traditional pyramid stud look harmless.

Choosing a stud can show a lot about your style. 

Wether your style is fierce or sweet, you need to be able to find the best stud to suit your style.

The problem is there’s so many different types of studs now, it’s hard to find the exact type of stud you want for your accessories or clothes when you don’t know what it’s called.

When shopping online or in a store you want to be as detailed as possible about the type of stud you’re looking for.

Keep in mind that there are so many varieties of studs that you can’t know all the exact names of every single stud.

However, to help narrow down your stud search you can use terms of size: tiny, small, medium, large and giant.

To help find the height of studs you can use the terms standard and tall.

For example, if you’re looking for a specific type of stud on a jacket you can say, “I’m looking for a leather jacket with tiny tree spikes.”

Here’s a mini stud glossary so it’s easier to find the exact type you’re looking for.

The time is now and the New year is riding our heels, before you know it, Three… Two… One… and everyone’s shouting “Happy New Years!” Off to a new start and possibly even a new look.

But before we take it here, lets discuss bringing in the New Year in style.

Over the years New Years has transitioned into a Fashion Night of its own.

One night full of glitz and glam. Big hair and fun makeup, from sequins and furs to leather and studs.

With Plenty of options this night will definitely be one of a kind. For girls like myself, who are last minute and unsure we have little to no time to decide on a look, lets narrow down our options.

For starters you need a color story. This in itself will narrow down the look.

2012 was a year full of new trends but most importantly color. Pastels like nude, blush pink, lavender, mint and gold play a huge role this year from beginning to end.

This color palette transitioned from Spring to Holiday colors, keeping that innocent “Girl Next Door” look fresh and new.

Floral print is predominately worn during spring season but it’s still fashionable during the winter season when you wear the right colors.

When choosing floral prints for the winter stay away from any bright hues like hot pink and neon yellow.

Choose dark colors mixed with soft neutral colors for a laid-back look or consider  metallic prints to add a luxurious sheen for an enjoyable social function.

Pantone, the world’s leading color experts, have chosen Emerald as it’s color of the year for 2013. 

For more than a decade, Pantone’s color of the year has set the color standard for interior design, beauty and fashion trends. Last year’s vibrant, red-orange hue “Tangerine Tango” was all over the runways and in mainstream fashion, and this year’s pick seems to be upholding the trend.

According to Pantone’s website, designers Tracy Reese, Nanette Lepore, Barbara Tfank, NAHM and Marimekko are working the color into their upcoming spring collections. Sephora has also teamed up with the color institution to create products that showcase the gemstone shade.

“Green is the most abundant hue in nature,” said Leatrice Eiseman, executive director of the Pantone Color Institute on the official Pantone website. ”The human eye sees more green than any other color in the spectrum.” 

The color is said to promote balance, harmony, growth, healing and unity.

The downtown arts district has an event every first Friday of the month with music, street vendors and open art galleries for public viewing.

We found a wide range of style around the area Friday night.

Thursday evening we headed downtown to the Bakersfield Christmas Parade where we were able to find a few people for our street style search. 

With mist in the air and the chill breeze, the scene and atmosphere could not have been any better for holiday spirits and winter wear.

The first girl we came to find was Samantha Ramos. 

For the evening, Samantha sported a gingam shirt layered with a denim jacket, along with black denim. She accessorized with a cream over-sized scarf and brown riding boots.

The next two girls we spotted happened to be Jackie Tabbytosavit and Reyna Reyes.

Jackie stayed true to the weather pairing black combat boots, black denim and a brown leather jacket.

While Reyna chose to go with a pop of green in her outfit.

The final lady of the evening was Malorie Carlo.

She is a great example of a simple yet stylish outfit by layering a hooded sweater with a chambray top and her choice of boots instead of Uggs.

Lastly, we found two men, Nate Wong and Anthony Pantoja.

Nate had the collegiate look down by layering his collared shirt with a sweater and simple khakis along with moccasins.

Anthony kept his look urban by layering his LRG shirt with an anorak and accessorizing with an Oakland athletic’s hat.

By the end of the evening we had found what we wanted and we were still able to enjoy the view of Santa along with the screaming joys of all the children.

It was brought to my attention at our last meeting here at TSL that some of our male followers out there would like to see a bit more of an urban type of style featured on our site. As they were telling me this I couldn’t help but agree.

When someone says an urban type of style, I generally picture pieces that are more rugged and edgy such as: denim, chino pants, plaid, hoodies, graphic and basic tees.

The great thing about urban style is that you really can’t go wrong with it. Just pair a simple LRG graphic tee with a pair of denim, layer it with a varsity jacket and throw on some Nike Free Trainers or Air Force 1’s. 

Lastly, you can accessorize with a watch, a beanie or a snap back, whichever you prefer.

Major brands for urban style are Nike, LRG, Crooks and Castles, and 10 Deep.

One great Website that I recently found online was www.drjays.com here you can find all of these brands for great prices.

Now if you’re like me, and typically don’t like ordering online simply because of the wait, you can head-on-down to your local mall where all these brands and fashions can be found. 

Tilly’s, PacSun and Zumiez are the best places to find urban wear.
