16 Style is Changing

We are working on a new concept for 16 Style, where teens can earn money globally for trying new products and telling their friends about them via viral and guerilla marketing promotions.

Stay Tuned!

Summer Make-Up

Summer means shorter shirts, smaller straps, flip flops, and bathing suits. But what about make-up? Where I live it's far too hot and humid to pile on gobs of foundation and swimming in the pool makes layers of mascara a big fashion no. My solution- tinted sunscreen. The tint provides the same coverage as a foundation and the SPF protects your skin from the harmful UV rays of the sun. To replace my normal mascara, I use clear mascara. It gives you the same lift as a colored mascara and won't give you those nasty black streaks when you go swimming. Don't forget to choose a lip gloss with an SPF. My fave is Clinique Long Last Glosswear.

Wal-Mart? Say What?

Recently while flipping casually through the pages of one of my fashion magazines, I realized a majority of the clothes in the advertisement were from Wal-Mart. Yes, the same Wal-Mart our mothers flock to find ridiculously cheap food, laundry detergent, and school supplies that has the huge yellow smiley face as its logo. One dress in one advertisement struck my fancy so much I rushed to the store and bought it. Not only is the dress ABSOLUTELY adorable, but the quality exceeds that of stores such as Hollister and Abercrombie. And it was affordable!!! With the economy slowing and gas prices rising, every little bit we can save makes a difference. I'm here to tell you buying your latest summer fashions from Wal-Mart may just be the price-saving habit you need. Check out their Op line and Miley Cyrus's new line.

Hollywood | Marina and the Diamonds

After Rachel's Video Shout out, I decided to post the video.

DIY! DIY!

want a skirt like this:

here's how:

muchhhh love, rachel

polka dots, stripes, flowers, hearts...

the list of different patterns which are being shown on tights at the moment are ENDLESS

and to be honest with you, I have to say it's my favourite trend right now. It's small, simple, exciting, cheap; what more could you want? this is not a new trend though. A few seasons ago we saw the likes of Chanel take on the semi black and white duo, and other designers quickly followed, going mad and whacky; alphabets by Henry Holland, floral, hearts, stripes, dots, etc.
much love, Rachel

Currently looking for the next Anna Wintour

Anna Wintour started her fashion career at 16, so why can't you?

OK, so here's the story. POSHGLAM.com is our mother company and we noticed that some of the editorials on POSHGLAM were presenting items that are too expensive for you guys. So for the sake of differentiating our market and catering to another demographic, 16Style was born! Our hopes are that our teen contributors (that's you) take it over and your commentary and perspectives run rampant. We would prefer not to really "edit", nor do we want to mold or stifle. With that said, what you see here will be raw original content published by the teens themselves. If you or any of your friends are interested, Please email info@16Style.com with "16 Style" in the subject, with a link to your current blog (if you have one) or a writing sample.
