Love Neon

I love the whole color blocking fashion trend. Instead of matching or coordinating, now anything goes. Everyday I now can just pull items out of my closet that I love and they all go together. The "Neon" trend is one of my favorites as you can just about put anything together and these bright vibrant colors are an amazing positive burst of energy to get me up and going in the morning.

Liberate Your Inner Awesome

Last night I was thinking, "I really need a great going out out-fit" and came across this top. Amazing isn't it!

Do you think it is a little over the top with all the silver? I think the jeans play it down just enough and wouldn't it look great with a dark red lip. The earnings I thought were fun and I am a sucker for "sparkly" jewelry, so of course they were added. All in all I would buy this outfit. Finding somewhere to wear it, now that is more of a challenge but I am in, are you?

The More Pink There Is - The Happier I Am

I don't know about you once we get to March I have had it with winter and cannot wait for warmer weather.

Nothing picks me up faster than a strong healthy dose of PINK in any form I can get it. My inspiration for this collection was TOTALLY PINK! I love the flirtiness of the ballerina skirt and tonal shades of pink in the cardigan. The green bag helps tone things down a little. I love the texture of the lace ballerina skirt against the suede pumps for some visual interest. Did I mention Lola, by Marc Jacobs is my absolute favorite perfume.

Enjoy, and go find some PINK to brighten up your day!

The Impact of Prints

For years I was afraid of prints, especially big prints or bright colors. My entire closet consisted of black, navy and grey. As I look around, especially at women my age this seems to be an ongoing problem.

 Just recently at an awards ceremony for my office I noticed that everyone was wearing black, both dressed up and dressed down. Amazingly we did have a very good year and had a lot to celebrate. I felt a need to wear a red dress and definitely felt special. One of my fashion wardrobe goals this year is to work towards a  substantial increase in the number of prints in my closet. This was my inspiration tonight. I especially like the combination of Turquoise and Red which I have never put together before.

Tangerine, the 2012 Color of the Year

 Oscar weekend brought out the color of the year! The color authority Pantone named tangerine as 2012′s most wanted hue.

 Interestingly enough my company, First Weber Group also has the colors of Orange and Black.  Both of these concepts were my inspiration last night for this selection.  I love the edginess of the leather jacket and the pop of color with the orange clutch.  Definitely has the "New York" vibe and guarantees to have a good time out on the town.
