CAN ORANGE REALLY BECOME THE NEW BLACK?

11/13/2016

1 Comment

 
In light of recent events, I could not resist this post to fashionize if this new "Spicy Orange" will be an easy colour to integrate into our primarily black wardrobes.
​
Will this pretentious colour bring an energizing boost to a dull landscape ?

This attention grabbing colour is not for the faint at heart.
​
The best way to wear this spicy shade would be to wear in moderation and is best paired with
stronger colours of: Black, Army Green and Deep Blues.

Orange viewed as both loud and brash, probably because of it's impracticality, I would limit it to bold, deliberate fashion pieces.

I can only speak for myself when I say this colour humours me, but without a doubt I am not ready to forgo my Black for Orange.

Back to School- My 3 favourite words- till the middle of October when we are inundated with our children's' projects and homework.

This fall my eldest son is starting high school and I am looking forward to the " no nonsense " phase of school wear. He, on the other hand is appalled that Adidas training pants will no longer be the staple of his every day attire.

I ran into a friend recently and while I was rejoicing in the prospect of no longer fighting over morning attire,  she is facing the opposite dilemma.

How does someone who has had to wear a uniform for the past 5 years, that was preselected and decided for them by an establishment that clearly has no Fashion sense embrace the freedom
of style ? 

Here is an easy place to start: 
After trendalyzing what's in the stores for Fall, I choose to compare them to my fave 80's iconic movie " The Breakfast Club".

Are you the Brain? the Basket case? a Criminal? the Princess? or the Jock?
​
Or Perhaps your Style is a Combination of all?

My advice to that young girl leaving a uniform behind :

ROCK YOUR RAINBOW

6/7/2016

0 Comments

 
Do colors frighten you ?
​

Do you tend to retreat to your bland basics of: White, Grey, Black & Ecru?
Picture
Take the Quiz to find out what is your Fashion Color Personality and Rock your Rainbow this summer !
I am a definite Chambray ... but wished I could be a Fiesta Red. 
Were you surprised by your results ?

​Does it inspire you to get out of your comfort color and try something punchier?

If you are color challenged - the easiest way to introduce a new color to your palette is to start with small steps... ( a fun sandal, a tiny tote, or a summertime top.) 

I find the easiest way to Rock my Rainbow is to find a brightly colored print and wear it with my favourite denim.

Fashion is for the "BIRDS"

5/17/2016

Some may say that Spring is for Flowers.... I say
"Spring 2016 is definitely for the Birds!" -No pun intended :)
Picture
Birds are BIG for Spring /Summer 2016.
​
​Discrete abstract minimalistic birds or large elaborate multi colored designs offer the right mix of Whimsy.
​
​Pelicans, Swans, Peacocks & Flamingos. Appliquéd, All over prints and Large spot embroidery - Fowls are Funky.
Birds flocked the ladies and mens runways for many design collections for Spring and Fall. A refreshing quirky way for wearing your prints this summer. ( Whenever it gets started ! ) 

These beloved birds are symbolic of freedom with their ability to roam the earth and soar the skies.

If I had to suggest only one key element this spring to freshen up your wardrobe it would be to select a fantastical statement print.
Personally I am loving the Flamingo ! 
​

If Big Birds are not your thing, I get it...
​There are a slew of other whimsical prints trending too: Bugs & Insects,
Cats & Dogs, Aquatic & Prehistoric Creatures.
Find your Fantasy.

ONE DIRECTION

I do not know anyone who doesn't love a good stripe !

Stripes are the epitome of symmetrical summertime style.

STATEMENT STREET STRIPES

This season's stripe delivers a BOLD statement.
​Graphic 2 color stripes are trendiest for Spring 2016.
​
Street style shows how a timeless staple in everyone's closet can take a new direction.

The easiest stripes to wear are in knitwear. 
This summer try a vibrant breton stripe knit top.

ARE STRIPES ONLY ONE DIRECTIONAL ?

Picture
Women tend to prefer the vertical stripe direction.
( I can't argue it is most flattering for most. )

Menswear have been favouring the horizontal stripe these last seasons.
Traditional dress shirting  stripes have shifted from conventional demure to bold.  



The most famous stripe is the Mariner stripe or Breton stripe. An even spaced  2 color stripe, typically white & navy. The first stripe shirt was introduced to sailors sometime after 1858. 
​The original design featured 21 stripes, one for each of 
Napolean's victories


 It's no surprise I  would associate this iconic stripe with none other than my personal favourite fashion bad boy: J.P Gaultier- the master of stripes !!
