NeOn

Summer sales are in full force as Fall fashion starts to make its debut in a store near you, but I'm not ready to say goodbye to Summer styles just yet, so let's go out with a bang.  Have you tried NEON this season?

I realize what you might be thinking, didn't neon die with the 80s, yes it certainly did, but there is a method to my madness, neon can be modern!  Just a hint of these bright hues can highlight your fashion savvy and is a great way to celebrate the Summer season. There bold and brights and the perfect compliment to navy and neutrals. If you're hesitant, choose a piece that has a neon accent like and orange cuff, or a pink belt. Whether big or small, any bit of neon is sure to make an impact!

Seafoam Summer

Last Friday I mentioned seafoam green as a current trend and realized I needed to spend a little more time exploring this entrancing hue.  According to InStyle it's, "Delicate without being overly feminine, it's an alternative to those omnipresent jewel tones." Without a doubt it's sweet and soft, but with the right silhouette it can still be saucy.

Not surprisingly, this color is super wearable, it pairs well with blues, corals, and neutrals.  Add bold accessories for contrast or keep your look soft and subtle.

Summer Whites

There is nothing I like more in the summer time than summer whites! Whether head to toe or one main piece nothing looks more crisp and cool against a summer background.

Keep your summer whites light and airy with fabric and texture, cotton, linen, and crochet are definite must haves.  Also don't be afraid to blend bright whites and off-whites together, because they're in the same color family it still works and creates subtle contrast in your look!

Color Combo

A certain posh designer decided to combine navy and orange in her spring collection this year and it is most definitely on trend.  Victoria Beckham enhanced the sleek silhouette of her formfitting sheath with these contrasting colors to make a bold statement.

This is a definite stand out color combination that can be worn any number of ways.  Accessorize a solid piece with its contrast, find a print that combines them both, color block them.  You can tone the contrast down by adding neutrals like nude or beige, or take it to another level and add a crisp clean white!

Fantasy Fashion Becomes Reality

Could you really ask for better when you combine kitten heels, pointy toes, red suede and a bow??? Isabel Marant has a shoe that is to die for.  I'm not the only one who hasn't been won over by this particular Parisian like pair, Anne Hathaway, Hilary Duff, Lisa Snowden, Elle MacPherson, Katie Holmes, and Kate Bosworth are also smitten.  Of course they won't keel over at a glace at the price.  Surprisingly this low heel with a high price is currently sold out! Time to find an alternative.

Isabel Marant "Poppy" $620

To the rescue is Madeline's "Tashi" with a true kitten heel, pointy toe and side bow. So I may not be able to go as bold as red, but the dark taupe or black suede are necessary neutrals for fall. The best part, at just $59 I can definitely buy both!
