Navy-The New Black in 2013

28 Thursday Feb 2013

The color Navy Blue is becoming very popular in 2013. It happens to be one of Pantone’s Spring 2013 colors; they call it Monaco Blue! In doing research for today’s post, I wanted to know more about the color Navy Blue…what does it mean? When I wear the color, what does it say about me; what am I projecting to others when I wear the color Navy? Here are a few descriptive words:

Trust
Balance
Faith
Value
Depth
Freedom
Calmness
Power*
Tradition
Reliability

I love colors that project Power, there’s just something to be said about a woman (or man) in charge….love it!
Whether you wear Navy Blue to work in the form of a business suit, as your choice of Nail Color or taking on the Nautical Motif during a day of shopping, you won’t go wrong with Navy this Spring!

Last night ABC aired the Oscars and boy oh boy was it a night full of glitz and glamour! I always look forward to the red carpet arrivals so I can get a peek at what and who my favorite celebrities are wearing. I remember when I was a young girl sitting on the sofa watching the awards show-secretly wishing I was one of those girls! From Halle Berry to Charlize Theron; the divas were absolutely gorgeous! So without further adieu, let’s take a look at some of the nights Best Dressed!

Charlize Theron stole the night with Couture Dior gown, not to mention the haircut that completed her overall look!  She was my Best Dressed choice of the evening.

Halle Berry looked radiant in Versace, but doesn’t she always look amazing?

Anne Hathaway was classic in Prada.

Jennifer Lawrence, the Best Actress winner also wore Dior and looked like a princess.

What a night for all things fashion!

Fashion Trends-Who’s In Control?

Fashion Trends-Who's In Control?.

Fashion Trends-Who’s In Control?

Year after year, those of us who love anything related to fashion; whether you are a lover of clothes, shoes, handbags (my favorite), makeup, nails or accessories-we all look forward to experiencing what the new trends will be. I’ve often wondered in the past, who decides what is “trendy” in the first place? Is it the designer who puts all his or her hard work into a collection that makes that decision? Is there someone out there in “Fashion Land” who tells us what we should wear? Or by chance could it be our favorite celebrities that influences what we like? Well, you might be shocked to learn that none of the above is the responsible party. It is you and I the consumer that decides what the fashion trends are. Imagine that!!! Though, celebrities are consumers too I might add.

Here’s how it works:
The buyer at top retail stores such as Nordstrom, Neiman Marcus, Macy’s, etc. buys and puts out collections of items they feel will go over well with the consumer (us). However, it is up to you and I to accept or reject what the buyer has chosen. Styles or looks that become popular with consumers over a long period of time constitutes a Trend! Who knew that you had so much say in what’s trendy and what’s not.

What fashion trends are you helping set today?

Accessory Must Have…The Belt!

Alright ladies…every one of us has a favorite accessory; whether a bangle bracelet, a chunky necklace or colorful scarf-we all have that special something that we like to add to our look that makes us feel good.

The belt in my opinion is a very simple way to update or change a look without all the fuss.  Who doesn’t like a good belt?  Add it to your favorite tunic or dress and watch how it transforms not only how you look, but how you feel!  You have to play with different types to make sure you find the right one for you. Go ahead and give it a try…

You look fabulous dahling!!!

Mixing Prints

14 Thursday Feb 2013

mixedprints4For as long as I can remember, it has always been a huge fashion No No to mix prints when it comes to fashion. Everything had to match in order for one not to come across as a fashion nightmare.
Those days are long gone. Here you have a simple example of how you can indeed mix prints and be trendy at the same time. The key to success here is to find one thing in common, most likely it will be the colors, and make those work. In doing so you will be sure to pull off a great look!

Spring 2013 Colors!

10 Sunday Feb 2013

P1colorsPantone has released it’s color choices for Spring, and I am so delighted to share them with you! This season’s choices mixes a balance of bold-bright colors along with a more neutral color palette.

My favorites are Monaco Blue, Emerald and Nectarine. Each of this season’s colors in my opinion represent power and confidence.

Try adding these colors into your current wardrobe-pairing them with some of your staple pieces; I’m sure you will come to love the color choices just as much as I do.
Enjoy,

Fashion Metals- To Mix or Not To Mix-That is The Question

metal accessories

A few weeks ago I was asked if it’s ok to mix metal accessories, meaning if I am wearing a gold watch-is it ok if I mix it with say a silver necklace or bracelet.  Well the answer is absolutely YES!  The thought that you have to match ALL your jewelry metals has been replaced with, “If you like it, I love it” (at least that’s how I feel about, as do well known fashion designers out there)!

Try wearing your favorite watch and adding several bangle bracelets of different metal colors with it on the same arm or wearing your favorite lariat necklace and layering it with a few that are of another metal color/type!  It may sound scary, but it actually looks AMAZING!

Happy Mixing!
