Shade to Crave: Bold Blue

I have been a fan of blinding shades of blue for a while now and my love is still going strong. This color is undoubtedly striking, but not in that overly loud, obnoxious, kind of way that can leave you feeling paranoid and self-conscious. Unlike most bright colors, this one is actually flattering on almost every complexion and looks phenomenal set against all hair colors.

Plus, clashing is close to impossible . Pair your bold blue with anything from basic black and subtle neutrals to other bold shades like pink, yellow, orange, or red to glittery metallics. Whether it’s an electric blue dress like the Jenni Kayne one worn by Jessica Stroup, a skirt like Lauren Conrad’s bandage style or Lily Collins’ micro mini (both by BCBG), a tank, blouse, cardigan, jacket, and so on- this color is always a standout statement-maker.

Read on for my top 10 electric blue picks! [Continue reading...]

Shade To Crave: Powerhouse Pink

Powerhouse pink is without a doubt the shade of the season and of all the bright colors making the round- as expected with the return to the 80’s- this one is my absolute favorite. While this color is undoubtedly striking, it isn’t obnoxiously loud or too dominating.

Powerhouse pink is a happy median between the sweet innocence of pale pink and the overt sex-appeal of radiant red and has a vibrant energy which exudes confidence. We saw pops of pink all over the spring runways- Badgley Mischka, Matthew Williamson, Christian Dior, and more- all of our favorite designers turned up the volume on their collections by throwing this killer shade into the mix. Pair your pink pieces with neutrals for a more modern look, metallics for a dose of glam, with black for a bit of edge- you really can’t go wrong.

I am not only advocating this shade because it’s trendy, it is actually incredibly flattering for just about any complexion, whether you’re super pale or ultra tan, blond or brunette, this color was made to flatter and can’t help but make you feel sexy.

Trend to Try: Maxi Skirts

Long, flowy maxi dresses have been dominating for a few seasons now so it was inevitable that the maxi skirt would follow! My love of the long skirt was re-ignited at the Vena Cava Spring 2009 show which featured several truly fantastic floor-grazing styles and was enhanced when City star Olivia Palermo stepped out in a stunning maxi style from Jenni Kayne. The maxi skirt is absolutely perfect for a warm spring day where it’s too cold for short or a leg-baring skirt but a little too warm for pants. I especially love the bohemian, hippie-esque vibe of this style.

There are so many ways to interpret this style to make it work for you. You can update it and give it an edge with a sexy tee or cropped vest, you can take it the boho-route and pair with with a floaty top, you can keep it basic with a simple tank or give it a fashion-forward kick with a more embellished style. Just have fun with it and make it work for you!

My 5 Favorite Designers

You can tell a lot by a person based on the designers they favor, whether they’re funky and bold, classic and sleek, edgy and downtown, bohemian and laid-back, ultra-femme, a bit androgynous, and on and on.

Since we’re in the beginning stages of our relationship and still getting to know each other, I think it’s time to move the process along by sharing the designers that I simply adore and reach for time and time again. I’ll also throw in some of the items from each line that I am currently coveting.

Backstage Beauty: Jenni Kayne

To create the hair and makeup looks for the Jenni Kayne Spring 2010 presentation, Sara Lucero for Stila teamed up with Hairstylist Ted Gibson (both representing beauty.com) and his crew to create the ultimate downtown meets uptown aesthetic. Ted created a loose, undone sort of ponytail while Sara created a smoldering colored smokey eye that radiated sensuality and sex appeal. The whole idea was to keep it cool, glam, and effortless.

I got the chance to chat with the hair and makeup teams backstage before the show. Read on to find out exactly how to recreate the hair and makeup looks! [Continue reading...]
