FALL HAIRSTYLES

It's late September, and officially Fall! But living in Los Angeles, I'm still feeling that summer heat! The Fall feeling needs to come sooner because it's definitely my favorite fashion season! For countless reasons! But today I felt like sharing an important element to fall fashion: simple & cute hair-dos. 

 Fall is the time for boots, comfy sweaters and your favorite fitting jeans. Adding a cute hairstyle to the mix can definitely add a girlier and put together look to any fall outfit.

Below are some simple hairstyles that work out perfectly for your fall attire!

The Hair Bow 

The hair bow is a cute fashion statement that will make any outfit look adorable! The half up and half down hairstyle with a bow is perfect any occasion especially for date or going to school. It is simple, girly and takes under five minutes. If you want to switch up the classic bow look, try placing your bow on top of a well-done bun to create a more classy and formal look. This is bow tip is great for going to a work interview or to a family party.

BRAIDS BRAIDS BRAIDS! I was listening to KIIS FM the other day, and Ryan Seacrest mentioned that guys love it when girls work their braids! Here are my two personal favorite braided hairstyles. 

The Braided Headband

If you have a little bit more time on your hands, this hairstyle is perfect. Instead of simply pushing all your hair back with loose beach waves, try adding a braided headband. The braided headband adds style and is super fun.

The Famous Fishtail

The fishtail is great for having your hair out of the way! Not everyone wants their hair down all the time especially on a windy day when it can cause a bad hair day. The fishtail is fun for school as well as for going out. It looks cute and fun!

Skull-Tastic

QT Mariel here. Last Friday we at Q had a Pretty Little Liars inspired photoshoot! From the trendy casual to the GLAM to the dark Gothic/Victorian wear....we QTs got those looks on point! Unfortunately we won't release those photos for another week!

As Q's photographer, I took part in the PLL photoshoot and photographed in style! Big thanks to Q model, Liz, for encouraging me to "stop being so boring" and doll up with the rest of the girls! So I dressed myself up in Q's skull fashion choices that was fitting to the theme! 

Skull fashion has been making an edgy comeback in 2013, so what better than to rock the look now that it's the beginning of Fall/almost October? 

I don't usually model, but when I do, I rock that size Large ;)  

Q Blended Skull Halter Dress. Only $13.99 at Q

For more cover-up, add Q black sheer cardigan for $12.99

Q Adventures #1.

PROJECT PHOENIX. 

Hey Q fans! There's SO MUCH in store for the future of Q! I don't even know where to begin except that it all starts HERE. Continue to follow our progress and journey on our blog, Facebook, and instagram, and even our online web store. 

 2 weekends ago the Social Media department of Q/QT Bloggers took a one day road trip from Los Angeles to Phoenix, Arizona, in order to consolidate with the social media head of their Q branch. Together we are further creating more fun and interactive ways to reach out to our fans and other fashion lovers! 

We had such a great time. From the dry/hott/thunderstorm weather, good laughs and singing road trip songs, staying at a hostel, meeting new foreign friends, adventuring out into the mystical nature of Sedona, experiencing the city life of Downtown Phoenix, to meeting fellow Q workers at the Arizona stores for the first time. The bond we shared, business lessons learned, and overall life experiences made our Q Adventure extremely unforgettable! 

Here are pics from our trip! 

Q Bloggers stayed at the Phoenix Hostel for the opportunity to meet
 foreigners and backpackers from all over the world. 

                                      

With some of our foreign friends we met at the hostel. Intercultural exchange is truly a valuable experience.

QT files: Joanne K.

Style Blogger. Tree Hugger. "Boss". 

Our style blogger, Joanne,  is THE BOSS! She is the pro-active "boss" because she is the main founder of the Q blog and created the perfect team to get things rolling. There really isn't anyone better to manage such a darling group of passionate bloggers who are more excited to serve our fans and the fashion community! Joanne is a fourth year college student, majoring in environmental science. Yes, she's an advocate of living green and loves to re-use and recycle. She is a major fan of thrift shopping and making clothes herself! She's been exposed to the fashion industry from a very young age, as her parents are highly involved in the wholesale and retail business.

 Joanne has the most absolutely charming personality! When you're around her, you can't help but smile. She may be on the quiet side, but she holds a strong comforting presence...whether it's from the contagious happy and positive aura she gives off, or it's being such a naturally good listener... Joanne is someone you want around! Her humble nature is another reason why she is so respected at Q! 

Here's what Joanne has to say for herself,

I would call my style "California Casual and Simply relaxed." I'm the kind of girl you see wearing casual t-shirts, shorts, dresses and sandals and if the weather permits, I'd wear it all the time! Truth be told, I absolutely despise pants.You might say I have a carefree attitude as long as what I'm wearing is comfortable and functional. I love bold prints and daring cutouts in dresses. The dress I'm wearing in the picture above is thrifted (I LOVE THRIFT SHOPPING!). It has tiny unicorn and cats on a space background. I'm definitely a believer of the wearing clothes that expresses the wearer's personality. People often tell me that this dress shown above definitely embodies my personality as it is quirky, bold and fun.  

Q Outfits

This dress has a sweetheart neck line and is perfect for fun Valentine's date (even though it's a couple months away). I always carry hair ties around my wrists just in case I need to tie my hair to get some serious marketing work done. 

 
               Anchors Away!
You can never go wrong with black and white. I love wearing stripes and big cardigans. The thin black and white stripes give off an optical illusion. Big cardigans are comfy and can be worn on those cool summer nights that turn into chilly Fall days. Together they combine to make a nautical striped look.

Check out the Criss-cross cut in the back. It shows the right amount of skin in the right places. 

Style Tip: Show Skin Strategically! Jen Rade, stylish to Jenna Fischer and Angelina Jolie says 

"If it's cleavage, don't show your legs. If it's your legs, stay covered on top." 

Choose one body part to show off. Showing the back is a unexpected twist. 

QT, Joanne K.

NYFW 2013: Our favorite looks

What separates a person who makes clothes from a designer is the ability not only to impress and awe but to inspire, to give the world a glimpse of something new and beautiful. Here are some looks that evoked this wonderful feeling in yours truly, and hopefully will have the same effect on you. :)

Rag & Bone 

This is an example of the whole being so much more than the sum of its parts. A minimalist dress, slicked back hair, bright lips -- a perfectly put-together look. Sometimes simple is so much more than it seems.

Prabal Gurung

Who said a dress couldn't be futuristic, modern, and classic all at the same time? Don't try to choose one look. Instead, push the boundaries to incorporate all three.

Proenza Schouler

Not only is something metallic the perfect buffer between the clean white top and strong black leather shoes, but its length, pleats, and mixed fabrics let it steal the show. 

 
Michael Kors

Kors hit the perfect balance between comfort and style in this grey number with the oversized cardigan and thin belt, soft updo and leather platforms, fuzzy and woven materials.

Tory Burch
 
I like the dress, the cuff is okay, but what really got this outfit on this list is that they were paired with those shoes. Unexpected, but what makes more sense than satin and metallic gold if you think about it? Congrats, Tory Burch, for doing it so well.
