Be Bold with Neon Accessories

Hot pink is trending! And we don’t mean on Twitter. I’m sure all you fashionistas out there have noticed that neon color blocking is everywhere. It’s time to embrace the trend and beat the heat, this summer, with neon accessories.

Wearing neon indicates that you’re fearless and ready for anything. There are many different ways to work the neon trend so that it’s not overpowering. Be bold and beautiful by following our bright ideas and tips.

Brighten up your little black dress

Neons pair well with neutrals like white, tan and especially black. This summer, change the look of your classic LBD with a splash of neon coloring. By adding a bright accessory to your dress, you’re sure to turn heads.

Be bold with neon nail polish

Not sure if you’re ready for such a bold statement? Start out slow with neon nail polish. No matter what you’re wearing, your nails will be your best accessory. Focus on these awesome nail colors: tangerine, yellow, turquoise and of course, hot pink.

Use and abuse neon clutches

Neon clutches and bags bring life to any outfit. Theses fabulous accessories work from day to night. Adding a bright orange or pink clutch to an earthy ensemble adds immediate edge.

Much like makeup, a little goes a long way. Keep that in mind when working the neon trend and you’ll be bold in no time!

Spring Up and Stand Out! Bohemian Style Tips

Spring is here! Hooray!

Everything shifts when we enter this amazing season as plants start blooming and bright colors begin to surround us. It's also a time when we shed our old layers to come out of hibernation as people usually want to rock a new hairdo or wardrobe. I know that I like to mix up my bohemian look the moment the bright sun breaks through the dreary winter clouds.

What is bohemian to me, you ask? No, it's not about being a hippie with baggy clothing - it's about being unconventional. Bohemian style is centered on freedom and breaking fashion rules. Here are a few styling tips that will add pizazz to any wardrobe so that you can SPRING up and STAND out!

1. Accessorize, accessorize, accessorize!

I think accessories are one of the easiest things to add to your wardrobe without leaving your comfort zone. You can make any outfit smashing just by adding statement earrings or shoes. I always recommend vintage pieces as accessories because these items are usually one of a kind. Spice up a collared shirt with a 70s inspired bow or deck it out with a mix of necklaces or your favorite scarf. Whichever vintage accessory you choose, when you wear it - BAM! you are already an individual.

A great tip to recycle single earrings that you might have laying around is to try pairing it with a different earring, but one that will compliment it. (Guys you can do this, too!) Just because an earring doesn't have a matching partner doesn't mean you should throw them away. Imagine if they did that to people. Ai goo!

2. Vest are the best!

If you think your ensemble is boring and you want to spunk it up, the addition of a vest can be the best. It adds another layer of style and warmth and as you know, we need layers with the unpredictable weather of the Bay. A great way to mix up the traditional vest is to make your own. I'm a big fan of cutting things up, so try cutting off the sleeves of old jackets or shirts to create something new.

If DIY is not your thing, try sporting an eclectic vest to transform a dress you already love or wear one to break up a basic shirt and pants combination.

3. Put a belt on it!

I put a belt on everything! If you think there is something missing from your outfit, it doesn't hurt to try putting a belt on it. Belts come in all different colors and textures and range from wide to skinny pencil belts. Try living on the wild side and trade your brown or black belt for a red or white one. Switch it up!

Putting a belt on it also works well for plus size women if you wear them high waisted. If a belt doesn't fit you around the waist just pull it up a little to make it high waisted!

4. Mix patterns like it is no ones business!

Combine your patterns like you are a kid dressing themselves for the first time. Kids are fearless and they do things because it feels good. For example, wear a polk a dot top with striped bottoms or plaid with paisley - there are no boundaries. Play dress up with yourself or friends and come up with different combinations. Don't be afraid because you never know what masterpiece you will create.

If you ever think,"oh no this is too much!" its probably not too much, just rock it! You might inspire someone else to take a risk.

5. A punch of color goes a long way!

Always think color when getting dressed. Does your outfit feel "womp-womp" or monotone? Then add some color. Wear that wildcard. Put on that summer dress and add colorful tights to keep yourself warm. Do you have an office job and think that you have to wear as much black and blue to stay professional? No way! Color is allowed. Make yourself happy at work and add color to your slacks, button ups and blazers. This is also a great way to introduce accessories into your outfit as you can brighten up what you're wearing with buttons, broaches, ties or necklaces that pop!

There is never a wrong way to interpret bohemian. Think back to styles you loved in the past and revisit them. What makes you feel free? Never think that you can't try new things and trends as you may start your own fashion revolution. The main idea, is that what ever your style is, it's dope and it makes you an individual. Remember, you only live once but you have to dress everyday.

Fall Fashion Trends 2012

Here are a few trends one should note for the concluded Fall 2012 New York Fashion Week:

Capes
Tie Belts
Blanket Outerwear

Both Paris and Milan showed a captivating amount of trendy women’s ready-to-wear, with the most notable piece being military style (old world) capes. After hitting the runway in Europe, we saw the likes of Marc by Marc Jacobs, Tommy Hilfiger, Alexander Wang, Jason Wu, and Victoria Beckham recreate the movement with an American twist.

Vera Wang displayed feminine cape outerwear, whilst L’Wren Scott delivered an elegant, somewhat Gothic alternative. Rag & Bone along with the noted Michael Kors brought light to the deconstructed wonder of the blanket coat, evoking feels of warmth, fireplaces and hot cocoa.

The tie was put to good use this season by designers: Ralph Lauren who used the tie in it’s signature state and Proenza Schouler with their innovative twist to use the classic symbol of masculine attire as a belt. This is possibly the simplest (if not most cost effective) trend to reproduce with ease this season. Michae Kors, Krakoff, Lacoste, Calvin Klein, and Charlotte Ronson put plaid in the hot seat by offering up panelled blocks in leather and alternating colors layered with sheer (as seen in Peter som and the lovely Vera Wang). These large exaggerated patterns give one the perfect excuse for some expert color blocking.

Speaking of colors, when shopping for your fall 2012 wardrobe, consider vibrant reds (lining towards the purple side of the spectrum), safety orange, and light shades of gold (think 10-14 karat). For the ideal paring, incorporate black or throw in a black and white paisley. For examples see the fall collections of Narciso Rodriguez and Diane von Furstenberg monochrome or 3.1 Phillip Lim.

Fashion trend - Colour Block It!

We loves, loves, loves this trend! Colour blocking is great way to liven up any outfit and mix and match old and new pieces to get a look that is uniquely you. Even if you rock up to a party and another girl is wearing the same shirt as you, if you mix it up – hardly anyone will notice. So go on and try it.

Images Courtesy: elle.com

There are different ways to rock this look. You can choose to go full on and have each item you’re wearing a different colour. If you wanna do that, make sure that the colours complement each other. Or you can try and at least wear two items of the same colour. Just like the girl in the green jacket and shoes. Perfect! Otherwise another option is to rock two colours. Like the orange and red outfit. It’s a safer, yet still stylish way to wear this trend.

Another way to colour block is through accessories. Bags, shoes, cellphones, hats etc. Depending the colours you choose they can add that extra vibe to your look. If you’re going to do a plain blue or green outfit, make your accessory extra bright. Play with luminous colours! Come on be brave. Look how well it worked out for these ladies in the pics!

Will You Wear Chanel's Latest Nail Shade in Mimosa?

Pictures are out, and so I must talk about the latest 'it' lacquer from Chanelcalled Le Vernis Nail Colour in Mimosa that is set to launch this April as part of the Spring 2011 collection.

It's bright, sexy, daring and something we've seen on A-list stars like Rihanna,Katy Perry and even Natalie Portman in the past couple of Spring/Summers in shiny opaques. However, this yellow shade is more like the bubbly it's named after (in the UK, we also call this orange juice, champy mix a buck's fizz) as it contains flecks of green and gold shimmer too. I'm excited for a Sunday brunch mimosa cocktail wearing Chanel Mimosa — how about you?
