Have you notices in Michiana Goodwill stores trend boards that look something like this? We are Goodwill are dedicated to make sure you are shopping for on-trend clothing for you and your family.
Our fashion guru Kathy Friend has provided these trend boards for us each season to help you know exactly what is trendy! In the upcoming days / weeks, we will be sharing the 4 big trends of the season with you...here and of course in all of our Goodwill stores!
Kathy's Summer Trend Tip:
The maxi is all the rage this season. Maxi simply means long. LONG AND LEAN!
This can be a tricky look to pull off if you are petite. Simple fabrics in a monochromatic hue will be best and easiest to wear.

Textbook Rentals - A Good Way for Your Studies
We all know that being a student is a hard and difficult thing. Don't you remember how you struggled to find the suitable books, study for the exams, do a research, etc. and find the whole necessary time for all of these? At university, I had to buy tons of books and lecture notes during the exam periods and sometimes I wasn't even able to find what I needed.
But now, you are lucky as a student! With this new service, which is called CampusBookRentals, you will be able to find any necessary book for your studies and to just rent it for a definite time and for a reasonable price with also free shipping including the return of the book!
You search for the name of the book, or just a topic related to your studies or needs, choose one among the three rental periods (130 days, 85 days, or 55 days). You receive your book with free shipping, and then you return it at the end of the rental period with also free shipping again. You can rent one or more books as you wish. They even give you a 15-day grace period for free of charge if you need to keep the book for more time. For example, if you rent the book for 55 days, you have 70 days to keep it. And, this is a great opportunity for a student who races against time :) And if you'd like to rent any book again, you pay 30% less than the original rental price. By the way, you can also buy the book that you rented; you simply pay the difference!
As I spent my 6 years in English Language and Literature department at university, one of my choices would be "The Norton Anthology of English Literature, the Major Authors", or it would be "Vocal Technique - A Guide to Finding Your Real Voice: Book with Two CDs" as a singer if I used this great service. So, don't get desperate if you can't find the required book; just try CampusBookRentals.

A series of murders in New York City puts Detective Riley Starr on the heels of an elusive killer. Riley's pursuit takes her to a place that she never expected to go, and forces her to look into the past to understand events that may defy comprehension.
Part thriller and part murder mystery, Tartini's Key is a fast-paced, action-driven novel that will keep you at the edge of your seat until the shocking conclusion.
About the Author:
Guy James is the author of Tartini’s Key, Sven the Zombie Slayer, and Rats on Strings. He lives and writes in New York, New York.My Review:
“Tartini’s Key”, which is a detective book dealing with murders combined with mystery in a very creative way of language, is a very strong example of its kind. The book keeps you awake with tension and action that it offers throughout the story. We can also see a strong and self-confident female character (Riley Starr), who is the protagonist of the book, with both of her weak and powerful sides as a human and a woman facing with her past and present.At the beginning, I couldn’t exactly understand what was going on (maybe I was distracted and couldn’t gather my wits; this sometimes happen to me), but the events occur in a fast pace and you feel the excitement, especially at the end.
If you want to get some goose bumps, I recommend “Tartini’s Key”, because you will never get bored of this book!
BUY IT: You can buy this book (Kindle edition) on Amazon for $2.99.
WIN IT: Two (2) winners will receive an e-book copy of "Tartini's Key" by Guy James. (Value: $2.99 USD)

Summer Fashion Showcases Your Confidence by Anya Sarre
This is a guest post by Anya Sarre, a celebrity Stylist from ShoeDazzle.com
Anyone can feel beautiful this summer by updating just a few simple things in their
wardrobe. Finding the hottest fashion trends for this summer is like a treasure hunt,
and the prize at the end is a girl feeling confident and powerful in her new style. A
few fun and easy tips will keep her fresh and cool all summer long. She can be
trendy, accented and confident without breaking a sweat. From sassy accessories to
sizzling shoes, summer is the time to play up the look!
All over the runway, and available in her favorite
stores, are cool summer colors in mad prints and ocean tones. She can refresh a
current wardrobe by simply adding a cheerful pair of print pants or shorts that go
with any tank or tee. Add a funky necklace and just the right shoes and she is ready
to go. Easy, right? And anyone can have fun pulling off mixed textures. She can try
a lacy top with a pleated skirt and throw in a metallic shoe. This summer she can
love flat shoes, wedge heels, strappy metallic pumps or floral canvas sandals. It all
works.
Accent the Positives
She knows what she loves about herself, and fashion is the way to accent these
assets. Light and airy strappy heels will make those legs look even longer. A pair of
women’s shoes with a heel naturally makes her stand taller, and when she stands
tall, there is power in her attitude. Or maybe she wants all the attention on her eyes.
A bit of bling around the neckline will focus the attention upward so she can look
people square in the eyes and let her confidence shine. She can also find that
natural waist and show it off with any style of belt.
Confidence is the Must-Have Accessory
Whatever her style or personality, it is true that every girl feels more confident when
she looks beautiful. So, she can work the trends and accent what she loves about
herself. Her head will be held high and her summer strut will radiate power. The
boldness of her print will be in the boldness of her walk. The sassy shoes she wears
will put a snap in her step. A summer makeover is just a few items and accessories
away. Feeling pretty will help her feel positive, and the world will be her playground
this summer.

Summer Fashion Trends - baroque
Have you notices in Michiana Goodwill stores trend boards that look something like this? We are Goodwill are dedicated to make sure you are shopping for on-trend clothing for you and your family.
Our fashion guru Kathy Friend has provided these trend boards for us each season to help you know exactly what is trendy! In the upcoming days / weeks, we will be sharing the 4 big trends of the season with you...here and of course in all of our Goodwill stores!
Kathy's Summer Trend Tip:
One of the print trends this season is baroque. Baroque is hard to explain, but easy to see! It is almost a damask, paisley, curley-q print.
We are seeing this print in EVERYTHING from the smallest of details (like the sunglasses) to a very bold statement (like on the dress).
The key to wearing this print in an outfit is to be mindful of where that print is. Make sure that the bold contrast in color brings attention to an appropriate place on your silhouette. Also, make sure that the weight of the print is in line with your stature. In other words, if you are a petite lady, be sure the print you wear doesn't overwhelm your look.

Summer fashion mistakes and solutions - part 3
Keeping on with some of the biggest fashion mistakes...here is part 3 of this series.
Socks with sandals. Although a few years ago, the kids were wearing socks with their Doc Martin’s, this didn’t give you permission to jump on this fashion bandwagon. If you have to wear socks…wear a closed toe shoe.
Photo Credit: http://socksaddicts.wordpress.com
Bathing suits are not clothing. Your really cute bikini top shouldn’t we worn as a layering piece with your favorite jacket. There is a distinct difference between 'bathing suits' and 'clothing'. Please invest in a great cover up. There are a lot of options, and I am sure Goodwill has a ton of things to spark some cover-up ideas for you!
I love this take on the cover up (pic to right). It's long enough that it is appropriate for any errand you might have going to or from the beach.
