FASHION BRIEFS

A monochromatic bold color can be oh so chic. Perfect hues from head-to-toe. It does not always have to be the exact same shade...but pairing the same colors demand a certain kind of attention when you enter the room. Blue is an easy one--there are so many great shades that all go amazingly well together! Fur (similar: here, here, here ) // blousw similar here, here, here, What do you think?

Do y'all remember crushed velvet from the '90s? I'm so glad it made a comeback! It is soooo luxurious! Mostly a womenswear feature, crushed velvet was a popular fabric for dresses and shirts back then and they are here for the comeback. That should not be a surprise for my lovelies that follow fashion trends because weird fabrics are all the rage today. As rich and luxe as the velvet fabric itself, so were the bold colors that were spotted on the New York Fashion Week runwa

It is the middle of October and we are FINALLY catching a breeze down south. The time for wearing light and airy clothing in 75 degree weather is done. It is now time to wear thick and constricting clothing in...70 degree weather. LOL! Fall sweaters should be in your fall wardrobe.

Even though I have been obsessed with off-the-shoulder tops for YEARS, I am not saying this because I am desperate for an alternative to the now supersaturated off-the-shoulder trend. This past spring/summer, off-the-shoulder tops were everywhere. EVERYWHERE!!!I felt like I could no longer stand out with my individual style because off-the-shoulder became so trendy! Well, this season is all about the one-shoulder top! Th

Some call these the mermaid skirts, trumpet skirts, peplum-hem skirts, or flutter Skirts-it all means the same thing. And if you don't already own one, I'm about to tell you real quick why you should. This skirt is so sexy yet so classy. It covers well while flaunting the derriere and gives you a very shapely figure. It is a simple and elegant trend that is good for all body types and shapes. Whether you are tall or short, slim or curvy, this is a MUST for your wardrobe thi

I received the cutest navy blue 2 piece set from Shop Boudoir Fashion. I am big on seasonal colors and immediately thought about how I could talk to you all on an easy way to make this navy blue piece Spring appropriate. For one, it has floral prints, so we are already in a great direction. Also, the styling of the 2-piece set (cropped tube top and slightly cropped pants) also made it warm-weather friendly. I am a big proponent of navy. It is a great alternative to black, fla

Hey there! Can you believe that it's ALREADY February?!? Eek!!! Valentine’s Day is around the corner. Have you thought about your V-day outfit? If not, your personal stylist today is going to show you how a pop of pink or red can transform the piece you thought wouldn't work for Valentine's Day, into a V-day fun piece for that time out with your significant other or your girlfriends! I know it is always a little stressful and frustrating when you feel like you have nothing

When you think feathers on clothing, you typically think formalwear, right? For as long as I can remember, such luxurious accents have long been reserved for special nights out when couture evening gowns and glittering minaudière took the place of your comfy sweats and relaxed tees--but all of that is changing! Be prepared for current fashion to ruffle your feathers. Feathers are no longer just for costumes or haute couture. Feathers have gone mainstream. Those whimsical plu
