Color Blocking

Color blocking is a huge trend this season.  I have to admit, I love it.  With the rise of the 70's lately, color blocking falls right along side nicely.  DVF's spring show, showed a beautiful collection of bright colors, soft fabrics and overall prettiness.  It's the right amount of ease as we head into Memorial Day...xoxo

Levi's made and crafted

 Jeans have been our everyday staple as well as our evening go to style for many, many seasons.  This is probably our one common thread year after year that has never left and isn't going anywhere fast.  A couple of posts back I mentioned how the flare has made it's way back from the seventies, but there's also another style that's fast becoming a trend setter.  The crop pant is also from another famous era, the 50's.  This trend is incredibly feminine and easy to dress up if you're looking for an alternative style of dress.  I would caution however, that because the crop pant hits above the ankle, sometimes this can be a daring choice.  I would recommend pairing them with a high heel and a beautiful blouse on top.  I've chosen some of my favorite items in hopes that it will give you inspiration in putting your look together.   Enjoy! xoxo

Platforms, Wedges and Sandals, Oh Boy!

  There's a huge selection of summer shoes this season.  We're not locked into just wearing flip flops anymore.  Wedges and sandals are probably the easiest to wear as far as trends goes.  Both can be worn with a variety of items and interchanged throughout the season.  Wedges work great with the bell bottom trend as well as cute mid-length shorts, or the ever safe maxi dress.  For a more relaxed, casual feel replace the wedge with a cute T-strap sandal, or a more funky gladiator type shoe.

Tory Burch

The trend I'm not liking at all is the platform sandal.  I find it completely unattractive and not feminine one bit.  There's really no difference between the platform and tying a brick to the bottom of your foot.  Herman Munster, I'm sure, was the inspiration for this trend.  If you insist on purchasing a pair, try not to spend more than a couple of dinners worth.  I guarantee we'll see them on the "out" list by August.  Happy Sunday! xoxo

Platform Sandal...Ugh!

 

The "X" factor!

  There's a new "it" girl in town, Elisa Sednaoui is making her mark through the streets of New York City.  Many of you may not know who she is, but you will.  She has graced many magazine covers, including Elle Italia and Vogue Italia and has nabbed her share of big campaigns such as, DVF, Moschino and Hogan, just to name a few.  As of late you can catch her in the March issue of American BAZAAR.  She gives some insight into her personal style from her incredibly stylish New York apartment.  Hope you like! xoxo

Week in Review...

Michael Kors

  New York fashion week has come to a close.  All in all looks were very wearable and feminine.  Some of the standout trends were nude neutrals to black sophistication.  What gave some dramatic variation was the pop of color thrown into the mix.  Reds, greens and purples are safe wardrobe additions.  London Fashion week is up next, I'm looking forward to the edgier vibe.  xoxo
