From: WhoWhatWearDaily

Sorry it has taken us, well me, so long to upload pictures! Lately, I think I have been uninspired, and school has become really crazy, but we will try to do our best!

Name: Stephanie Paige

I love the easy going spirit of her outfit. I think the accessories; her green bag, and bejeweled cross make it really pop! Simple, but cute.

Now, this outfit is all about attitude! This girl has layered a lot of her pieces, relying on a big shirt and balances the outfit out with the tights! The heavy boots add a lot of structure as well as her comfy cardigan. The sunglasses and cellphone add a bit of drama as well! Right as I approached her, she said some guy just tried to get her number! Hot stuff!

I might be a little bit biased because this young lady is my little sister, Enchantee! Jasmine and I loved her outfit that day! My sister definitely has an eye for sneakers. Her style is completely different from mine, but I find her influencing it more and more. I ask her opinion on color combinations, because she's not afraid of adding colorful touches to make her outfit really pop. Her sneakers were modeled after Bishop Don Juan's colorful hot green style! Her hoodie is another thing that I positively love! It says "Purple Reign" and has a hot pink spider on it! Pretty fabulous.

SO I WAS THINKING....

I want to know who is the most fashionable professor at U of H. If you think one of your teachers has great style let us know and we will interview them for Cougar Style.

New Orleans Edition

This ain't no JOKE! (lol)

As we were walking around we saw displays of art set up along the gates of a small park in the French Quarter, but the best part was the artist were right there! You could see in each of their pieces how the city of New Orleans affected their art. The picture above are paintings that I thought were AMAZING!




We think the Sartorialist would like this picture. : )


Walking into a shop we noticed this young lady who worked there, we love how she made this simple and preppy outfit look very chic.

SHOPS, SHOPS, AND MORE SHOPS!!!!!



Sweet Pea & Tulip Boutique

(Myspace Page: http://profile.myspace.com/index.cfm?fuseaction=user.viewprofile&friendid=227585610 )






On the sunday morning that we were still in NOLA, we decided to get beignets and explore the French Quarter. It seemed like fall had come early, and there was an amazing breeze and I wish we could have stayed longer. That's when Jasmine spotted this awesome looking boutique, that looked expensive from the outside, but as we got closer, we saw that there was a $10 shoe sale!

When we walked into this boutique, I couldn't help but notice how girly and affordable the clothing was. There was a ladylike quality to everything in the store. They carried brands like Lucca, and Sweetees. They have locations all over Lousiana, but we went to the store in the French Quarter.

Plus, there was a cute boy there and he made sure to have his football game on.

Her dress is crazy cute and simple, notice again the lack of jewelry (are ya getting it yet). Also, the red flats are heaven.

Name: Chiemenam Amaechi

Classification: Senior

Spotted at: Blaffer Red Block Bash (Fine Arts Building)

Your Style: "Eccentric if anything"

Favorite Designer: Betsy Johnson

This is a one piece dress, its very simple and cute for school. I like how she doesn't have on a butt load (lol) of jewelry.

Name: Liz Garcia

Classification: Senior

Spotted at: Communication Building

Your Style: "Simple and basic"

Favorite Designers: Zara, Bebe, and... Target (said with a laugh)

The Jean Luc Mylayne Show

at the Blaffer Gallery Art Museum

These were the best dressed women at the art opening, each of their styles were very chic and classy for the occasion.

The purple and the white together is very cute and basic, but its the addition of the coat and heels that make the outfit more chic. This lady has great style. (4 stars ****)

This dress is very cute and we like how the gold doesn't take away from the outfit, but helped bring out the outfit.

We really liked this dress, very simple and cute with a little bit of detail at the top and bottom. (*also like the no jewelry)

The grey dress pants with the oversized top made this outfit different and very cute. What I like is seeing rear combinations I haven't seen before, I like how she has grey with hints of navy blue in her top; and again very simple not too much going on.

I love these shoes Vanessa had on, but what I really liked was how she didn't try to match everycolor in the shoe with her outfit.

New Favorite Designer: Vanessa Bruno

My favorite designers change all the time, but the basics are still the same... Rachel Roy, Ralph Lauren, Chanel (Karl Lagerfeld), Marc Jacobs, Peter Som, Derek Lam, Zac Posen, Alberta Ferretti, Proenza Schouler, Phillip Lim, and many many others! But Vanessa Bruno is currently my new obsession.

Not only does she have an amazing name, but her designs are classic and timeless. I think a lot of her stuff seems to drape beautifully, and I can't wait to be a real grownup and get some of her clothes! Of course she is a french designer! I think that one of her calling cards (just something that I've noticed...) is pleated jersey! First of all, jersey is like the most flattering fabric in the world... and the fact that it is pleated just feels like all your rolls/jiggles/wiggles will be hidden/concealed by the pleated jersey!

That was just a sampling, and very limited! But you can find her gorgeous designs at http://www.vanessabruno.com/ and go to http://www.net-a-porter.com/ to buy some of her clothes!

Obsession: Tear Dropped Hoop Earrings!

I love them because they are sort of unexpected in the 'hoop' world. I love basic hoops (in fact, I am wearing a silver pair right now!) but these are great when you want to add a little extra to an outfit. Since I have a round face, I feel as though the roundness of the hoop flatters my face nicely. Now whether or not that is proven, I think they look great on me! At first, these tear drop hoops used to be sort of hard to find, but now, after a few minutes of searching "Tear drop hoops" on the internet, they are easily found! I want all these pairs. They range in price from $4.80-$209.00! (and I want them all...)


This one is from Forever 21, and I love the gold color! Just don't wear these when you are going to be sweating profusely because the "gold" will wear off on you! http://www.forever21.com/

Metal Tear Drop Hoops, also from Forever 21! I love the Forever 21 is cheap, but you can only wear these pieces a few times because the "gold" or "silver" finish starts to wear off. Always disappointing, but you can enjoy it while it lasts! http://www.forever21.com/

These are great too! They are a little varied on the tear drop hoop trend, with the extra hoops inside, but the more the merrier! These are also from Forever 21! http://www.forever21.com/

Now this pair is one of my faves! It retails for $209.00! That's because they are handcrafted from 14K gold! Yay. Maybe when I grow up, I will get these earrings!
http://www.shoppersimmon.com/product_info.php?cPath=1_7&products_id=279Now, I wish these were a lot cheaper, but they range from $41-59, depending on how much gold you want it to be. These are from Shop Intuition and are a basic tear drop shape! I love really thin hoop earrings, and these are perfect! http://www.shopintuition.com/


When you want a little glitz and glamour during the nighttime, these earrings would definitely go well with a flowy blouse or a cute party dress. They aren't too much, but just enough. www.shopintuition.com

OUR STYLE ICON: KERRY WASHINGTON

Chilling in her B-girl stance...


I absolutely LOVE her vintage Houston shirt. It has images of downtown Houston, as well as notable Houston landmarks such as the Astrodome (and even though it is not exactly in Houston...) the San Jacinto Monument. I want one.

An unexpected button! Bob Marley!

Describe Your Style: "When a gorilla chases you out the house, you gotta do what you gotta do."

Favorite Designer(s): "I would definitely say Betsey Johnson. I'm also a big fan of Jimmy Choo. Big fan. Love him!"

Where do you shop?: "I make my own $#!@."

Tell me about your shoes: "They're my old cheerleading shoes. I painted them with fabric paint 4 years ago. I just decided to put the laces in last night."

2007 International Festival


We saw this lovely lady and were amazed at how she made this ethnic looking dress look so chic! The umbrella/parasol is the perfect accessory, because it was SO HOT.

As we were sitting there people watching, we saw this completely cute couple. You can't see it in the picture, but he had these amazingly long dreads, and her hair is cut so short. If you are going to go bald, this is the way to do it. (NOT LIKE BRITNEY!) Definitely yin and yang.

Two lovely ladies in front of the Agnes Arnold auditoriums with low key, vintage inspired style.
*I'll post their 'interview' later.

This last picture is a 'behind the scenes' look at the making of Cougar Style! haha. My friend snapped the picture. We pretty much go up to people and ask them to take their picture for the blog. Do not be afraid!

P.S. That girl is clutching her arm because I just punched her. Just kidding.
