Neutral on Neutral!

   If you are ever feeling like you need a palette cleanse to switch up your busy patterned wardrobe just take a day off and go neutral.  This new look is bold and chic, and when worn correctly from head to toe, it's a fashion statement that every woman should make.   Many women think that wearing neutral on neutral is just plain boring but, I beg to differ.  If you feel that way try breaking up your outfit with a darker neutral (black or brown) but, if you insist or feel more comfortable use a pattern or bright color.   White, beige, kaki and black are all great neutrals that, when put together properly, can make a definite style standout.  Check out these shots to see how head to toe neutrals are shockingly fabulous.

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!

Camel Crossing!

     Camel is the new black!  Yes, designers have created a new classic neutral and its camel.  Everything from full rompers to ball gowns are being made in this new raging camel color and they were all seen on the runway.  The great thing about camel is that it can be paired with any other hue, bright or deep darks.  Whether you like knitwear, leather, capes or accessories they all come in this buttery look.  Think minimalism, the color will do the rest!
