Earth to trends! Mother nature endowed us with some buzz-worthy motifs, and my current rave: branches. Leaves or no leaves, I think it strikes a certain ennui that makes me wanting more. Whether you want to go decor or fashion, its a great way to add some fun sophistication to your design--and having it on any season besides winter is what makes this interesting! So if you dare to go bare of florals this spring, opt to extend a little branch.
Okay, so as I checked out BellaSugar's how-to on choosing a red lipstick, it rekindled my inherent fear of red lips. But then I looked through my bag and closet, only to find a bundle of reds--like my gorgeous French Connection Coat, above, to a Louis Vuitton's Epi leather agenda.
So if you're still a little shy about painting your lips and nails a flaming red, look to these red accessories instead. I am totally drooling over that Elsa Peretti pendant. My sister has one in silver, and it does wonders to any casual outfit--imagine what red would do!
So the holiday season has been here for a while now (a bit early though, don't ya think?), and many of you may have pulled your glittery sequin dress from the back of your closet to rock the parties this year. Or maybe you've been eyeing that glitterati clutch to tote around. Here's another idea: why don't you try keeping your outfit simple this holiday season, and bring all the drama to your neck?
I like this one from White House ($68) because it has all the glamour that you need for a holiday get together, but the Hematite finish makes it look vintage and unique--glitter with refinement. Pair it with a plain black dress or even a white T-shirt dress and leggings. Doll up your face with smokey eyes and you got people saying, "WOW. And she's not even trying."
And that's the whole point, right?
In Outside the Box, I'll give trends a second thought and think of ways to bend the trend.
Alright, I'll admit I might have been a little harsh on the peace sign, what with all those tacky charms we all used to wear in the 90's that turned our skin green. But I couldn't deny it anymore: they're everywhere! From the Barneys' Hippie Holiday catalog to ANTM (Analeigh's necklace was to die for), world peace is here and it's been revamped. Big time.
My personal fave will have to be peac-ing it with jewelry, like the Julie Wolfe and Tiffany number. With a white deep V or scoop neck T-shirt and skinny jeans, you can be chic with a touch of hippie charm.
In Rage Page, I'll gather up what I'm raving at the moment.
