Get Hitched!

       For the first time in fashion history the city that never sleeps hosted a bridal week trade show.  Pier 94 was decorated to the 9's with shimmering chandeliers, wall-to-wall white carpeting and not to mention some of the most famous bridal gown designers in the world.  Here is a sneak peak at the Bridal 2012 collection.

The bigger the better!

Fall/Winter 2012 Color Trends!

   Let it snow, let it snow, let it snow! Well, I know it's a tad early to begin thinking about snow considering it is a mere 68 degrees in Rhode Island right now but, the 2012 color trends are just waiting to be worn!  The designers for this winters collections have decided to crush the gloomy "stuck in the house" look and they added a live vibrant "shocking" look.  Of course, they started out with the neutral colors like maroon, camel, caramel, tans etc.  Then they went on to the mid-tone colors such as purple, orange, red, mustard etc. Then, if you believe it, they took chances and added the vivid hues like gold, teal and turquoise (my favorite)!  The designers have stated that it is less about the individual colors but more about the textures and colors used together.  This is where you come in!  Take chances when getting dressed in the morning.  Don't just put on those boring black leggings and that dull gray oversized top (me everyday)! Go out and try these new forecasting suggestions!  After all, fashion is a daring game!  Here's how it's done!

More about Faith in Fashion!

   Wear your faith on your sleeve...literally!  This upcoming winter a popular repeating trend that will carry over from the fall will be the wearing of religious symbols.  Designers are taking all types of religious figures and applying them to clothing, shoes and accessories.  The Catholic cross has been altered in many different ways.  Such as, change in color, material, added feathers, studs,  sequins etc.  The Buddha has been displayed on vintage inspired t-shirts and seen as bedazzaled rings and necklaces.  The Star of David has been screen printed onto shorts pockets, t-shirts and handbags, as well as been hung from earrings and bracelets.  This newfound fashion is a great way to express yourself through style.  Here are a few examples.
