Summer romance: Girl meets boy - how to steal your boyfriend's style

Candy Washington2 Comments
I originally wrote this article for FashionWows. View the post here.

The temperature isn’t the only that’s rising this summer. What better way to heat up your summer wardrobe than by borrowing from your boyfriend’s (or cute summer fling’s) look? Turn your wardrobe and romance red hot with these tips. 

Boyfriend jeans: While hopping from museums, parks, and outdoor bars with your hottie sport a pair of his smallest jeans for a cool and casual look. Want to add an extra layer of chic? Pick a pair that’s rugged and distressed to add a bit of grunge to your girl-meets-boy look.


Boyfriend blazer: Nothing says sexy and sleek like a slightly oversized boyfriend blazer. Throw one over a loose tank and shorts to leave your boy begging to see what’s underneath. This look is also perfect for day-to-night, add a skirt for a day at the office and then opt for skinny jeans and heels for cocktails on the town with the girls.

 
Boyfriend baseball cap: After a wild night your guy may love your messy tresses but top off your mane with his baseball cap to easily stroll to brunch or errands the next morning. How crazy and fun your night was will be you and your beau’s little secret.


Boyfriend tee: Nothing is cuter than cooking dins for your date in his favorite t-shirt. Rock it with cute boy undies for a classy peek-a-boo effect. If your honey is treating you to a night out then dare to wear his long and loose tee with heels, a thin belt around your waist, a studded clutch, and a cropped jacket.
 

Boyfriend tank: When lounging with your main squeeze slip into his tank matched with a bandeau bra for a flirty and fun look. Running to Starbucks or your favorite café? Put on high-waist 70’s inspired shorts with his tee tucked in the front to look cool and collected while you get your caffeine fix.

Must-follow Instagram: Rihanna's BadgalRiri (click here to follow)
She's fearless and fun. Watch her awesome outfits at Chanel in Paris, twerk with friends to Drake, and perhaps even diss Chris Brown via a pic of Joselyn Hernandez? It's all things RiRi and I love it!

@Rihanna



Must-watch movie: Kevin Hart's "Let Me Explain"
He's the funniest little man around and I am OBSESSED with stand-up comedy! As always he kills it and will leave you rolling in the aisles with laughter. Catch him in "Think Like a Man 2" and BET's The Real Husbands of Hollywood.

Must-read book: "How to Conquer Yourself: Discipline & Willpower for the Conscious, Creative Thinker" by Bryan Ogilvie
Not only is Bryan a dear friend but he's also one of the most inspiring people that I know! His book helps the creative professional focus, strategize, and make a plan for their success. After all, it is the entertainment industry

Check it out on Amazon here.

Must-read article: Fashionista's "The Changing Face of the All American Model"
As America grows and changes (Happy 4th of July!) so does the need for the faces of fashion. The fashion industry may not be changing as quickly as our demographics, but Fashionista explains that it's all about a blend of who are and #GlobalBeauty. Read the full article here.


Hot mess of the week: Amanda Bynes
Multiple nose jobs, complaining that the "webbing" between her eyes was a birth defect, blonde rat nest's wigs, throwing bongs out windows, claiming sex harassment by the NYPD, loving Drake on Twitter, hating on Rihanna on Twitter, multiple mug shots, face piercings, claiming to be hip hop artist... need I say more? Pray for Amanda.

@AmandaBynes









Must-watch TV Show: The Wendy Williams Show (click here show details)
Wendy is kind of amazing. She tells it like it is and I love watching her 'Hot Topics' segment on her show! She's fierce and is a force to be reckoned with - who doesn't love an entertainment personality with her own catch phrase? "How you doin'?" Break legs on Broadway in Chicago Ms. Williams!

@WendyWilliams


Must-listen to song: Robin Thicke's "Blurred Lines" with Pharrel Williams and T.I.
Did you see these guys perform during the 2013 BET Awards? They are so sexy, sleek, and music to my ears! Love the throwback to the 80's with the all-model music video. These guys are definitely blurring the lines!

Burberry's “Trench Kiss” for Mario Testino’s featuring Sienna Miller and Tom Sturridge

Candy WashingtonComment

Could they be any cuter? Sienna Miller and Tom Sturridge aren't only a perfect off-screen couple but they are also a perfect on-screen model duo as well. The two star in the latest ad campaign for Burberry. The pair welcomed a cute baby girl last year and seem to be as hot and heavy as ever... makes me want to go out and get a trench coat! Check out the video for the campaign with music by Burberry darling Tom Odell, who played on during the Fall 2013 runway show!

Outfit of the week: Prism, Rag & Bone, Helmut Lang, Faith Connexion, Ksubi, Rochas, Pamela Love
