Pink is here to stay! At least for now. . .

Pink for summer 2017 has taken on many forms for the warm weather season. While the runways gave us blush, aka “Pale Pink,” aka “Millennial Pink” (why do they get their own color?), and also bright pink; the streets have given us pink in every shade imaginable. Seriously though, why does the Millennial generation have their own color? If they get their own color, those of us in GenX should have our own color too! Right?? Ugh, but I digress, we are chatting about pink for summer 2017.

Designers showed pink in every way, shape, and form, for the warm weather season.  This means, we can rock the pink trend through apparel, accessories, and/or beauty products. Love that!

Of course pink nail polish is an easy way to rock the pink trend everyday of the week without having to think about incorporating pink into our wardrobes. As pretty as pale pink nail polish is for summer, I prefer medium and bright pink hues.When it comes to lipstick, any shade of pink looks amazing in my humble opinion.

Although designers have been steering towards mirrored silver accessories as we move into 2017, rose gold is still relevant and on trend. Rose gold is amazing because it blends with any shade of pink; or works as a way to rock the pink trend if you don’t want to actually wear pink. There is also something fresh about rose gold since it has not been as on trend as it is right now, in a few decades. This could be why I am so drawn to rose gold. Addicted!

Of course, the most obvious way to rock the pink for summer 2017 trend is to wear it! You can see this outfits details here. I love mixing all shades of pink for summer, it has a feminine and light look to it which is fabulous on hot days.

One of the big color trends for the spring 2017 season is to wear green and blue together. I love how the two colors look with each other. Since green, blue, purple, and pink are my favorite colors, wearing any combination of them makes me happy!

I wore this outfit over the weekend to attend a fundraiser with a St. Patrick’s Day theme. Although this was perfect for the green-themed occasion, it is a dress I know I will find myself reaching for over and over again throughout spring; and this summer too! After all, “Greenery” is the color of the year! Therefore, all things green are fabulous! Love!

What do you think of green and blue together for the spring 2017 season? Is it a color trend you might find yourself wearing too?

Thanks for stopping by,

Goodbye 2016 and hello to the trends of 2017

The time has come to bid farewell to 2016. It was a quite a year indeed! Some fashion trends were fabulous, while others . . .hmmmm . . . not so much. Here is a guide to help know what you need to store in the back of your closet, and what you to buy for your closet.

Goodbye 2016!

Rose Quartz/Serenity: Gone are the days when the color of the year has share the title. Mixing baby blue and pink is so year. Buh-bye!

Statement necklaces: While some classic versions will be having their place in the new year, the statement necklace is over.

Earring jackets: This 1980s trend came and went faster than you can “What?” Did you notice it? It was pretty quiet. Store them in your jewelry box for the next time your friends host a 1980s-themed soiree.

Shoes with backs: Covered heels are so 2016. Buff and moisturize your heels, they will be shown off in the new year.

Standard handbag straps: Is that strap your handbag came with still on your bag? That’s so last year. Switch out that strap with a funky guitar strap.

Knee length, a-line skirts: Gone are the days of your hemline hitting at your knees. That’s so 2016. In 2017, it’s all about mini’s, maxi’s or asymmetrical hems which have a length you cannot define.

Hello 2017!

Greenery: 2017 is all about going green! Think calm, natural, and mixed in prints. That’s right! Although the color of the years gets to enjoy the title alone, it is not a solid color. Greenery is part of something bigger, it is part of a print.

Layered and delicate necklace: 2017 is all about the uptick in the delicate, layered necklace trend. While not a new trend, it will enjoy its moment in the spotlight in 2017. Layer up guys!

Bangles: Jungle jangle it’s all about the bangle! Lightly layer up your arms with gold bangles. 2017 isn’t about 1980s, Madonna bangles up the arm, it is about 1-3, high quality bangles which are classic yet eye-catching.

Statement earrings: Since your neck won’t have a statement, your ears will! Look for big and bold earrings in the new year.

Layered earrings: While one trend is to wear gigantic, statement earrings, another is to wear delicate earrings in multiple holes on your ear. Yes, this is a late 1980s, early 1990s trend. Go retro!

Stripes: This is the hottest trend since sliced bread. 2017 is all about stripes, stripes, and more stripes! The hottest types of stripes are horizontal and mis-matched.

Slides: Your shoes should not have backs. I repeat, your shoes should not have backs.

Mixed media handbags: Handbags in 2017 are leather mixed with suede, geometric patterns, floral prints, stuck with “stickers,” and the list goes on. If it isn’t plain, it’s hot!

Street sneakers: If you don’t own a pair of Addidas yet, your entire closet is so last year. Get a pair here, or get left behind.

Denim everything: Everything on your body should be denim. Your skirt, your shirt, your dress, your shoes, your handbag; and if you can find denim underwear-wear that too! Denim people. Denim.

There you have it! If you are looking for a laugh, check out my 2015 into 2016 out with the old, in with the new post.

What trends did you love or hate in 2016? What are looking forward to in 2017?

Happy New Year!
