Fall Collection: Poetic Licence

Poetic Licence typically pushes the boundaries with fun and funky color combos and accents of gems and feathers! This season check out their take on the classic oxford, "shootie", and pumps full of pizazz!

Fashion Rx: Your weekly dose of what to wear!

Sometimes I get so caught up in the sundresses and maxi's of spring and summer that I forget about another super fun and flirty piece, the skirt!  This versatile piece can be mixed and matched to take you from super casual to glam and from the office to a night on the town. Today I'll give you something tame to start with and see where your imagination takes you.

The Cure: Skirt Smarts

This simple paper-bag skirt is paired with a striped sequined cami, neutral blazer, envelope clutch and pumps, perfect for the office.  When you're ready to hit up happy hour, lose the blazer and trade out the pumps for something strappy and sexy, maybe pile on a few accessories to glam it up and you're good to go!

Peachy Keen

When women hear the color peach they normally cringe, but the soft concoction of pale orange and a light rose is really quite lovely.  According to InStyle magazine,

" Sweet, fresh, and perfectly ripened, the pretty pastel heralds spring and is far less predictable than classic pink".

Throw away those preconceptions about dreaded peach bridesmaids dresses and consider the following,

"Lovely peach is a natural match for light-as-air dresses and flowing skirts. But try it in structured separates to bring out the hue's sophisticated side."

Pair peach with corals, silvers, champagnes, or lavenders, wear a little or a lot, and enjoy the sweet discovery of a new found favorite.

As we approach the weekend it's only right that I cap off this week's theme, "grown-up girly", with a simple "how to".  This is a look that's easy to pull off and is both casual and chic, not to mention suitable for a number of different occasions.  

The Cure: Refined Recreation

For me, this is a look that is built off of the shoe! Find a pair of your girliest pumps and go from there.  My go to line of girly goodness is Butter and this double bow, open toe pump is perfection.  Since the shoe is a neutral, I'd anchor the look with a pop of color, in this case the shorts, top it with a silk tee that has some kind of simple graphic or a bit of texture and then amp up the playful side of the look with accessories!

Designers resort collections typically hit the stores and fashion mags in the thick of winter. Why? Well who doesn't want to escape the winter blues for sun and sand and of course you're going to want to look great!  You fall in love with pieces that are perfect for a stroll down the beach, but can they work as you strut your way into the office?

The Cure: Urban Vacation

Bring on the brights! Color is characteristic of resort wear, but if you incorporate it with carefully tailored pieces it can be office appropriate. Start with a basic, like a great black trouser, pair with an office appropriate blouse. Polka dots are one trend, and tucked into high-waisted, wide leg trousers you are spot on.  Now it's time to add the fun.  A bright, contrasting blazer takes this ensemble to the next level.  Add resort ready gems and neutral pumps.  If your feeling exceptionally exotic opt for a neutral reptile pump instead.
