Happy New Year!
Good-bye 2013, Welcome 2014!
Wishing you and your loved ones a fabulous New Year!
Goodbye 2013 and to all of the trends we are happy to leave behind
Welcome to the last day of 2013! As we move into 2014, we can celebrate a new year of fashion trends and say good-bye to the tired trends which we can finally refer to as “so last year.”
Now, let us take a few moments to say goodbye to the old and boring trends from 2013. As we are saying our last good-byes, let us also take a moment to cheer on the new trends we can look forward to in 2014!
Buh-Bye 2013!
Blinding Neon Hues: The neon trend is so dated, it has traveled back to the 1980’s; where it belongs. Good riddance to blinding colors!
Emerald Green: You were a pretty hue for 2013, and helped everyone stay away from pinchers on St. Patrick’s Day, but your day is done. Buh-bye!
Pointed, long nails: Rihanna is the only person who can pull off pointed, long fingertips. Stop filing your fingernails into lethal weapons and keep them neat and clean. Pointed nails are over. Unless you are Rihanna, then carry on, they look fabulous on her; only her!
Stacked bracelets: The party is over. Stop stacking ten pounds of metal on your wrists. Stacked bracelets are over, kaput, done. Only wear one bracelet at a time.
Short shorts: Cuts offs which barely cover, shorter than short shorts; they are over! Thank goodness. Look for much longer lengths in 2014. Think Bermuda.
Hello 2014!
Drawstring Handbags: The “IT” handbag for 2014 is the drawstring handbag. More “IT” points if you own one by Mansur Gavriel.
Radiant Orchid: Pantone’s color of 2014 is a beautiful purplish-pink. Get ready to mix this color with shades of purple, pink, blue, green and more! It will also be popping up in the years’ hottest prints! Love it!
Medium color palettes: Bright and blinding colors had their day, 2014 is all about medium shades of rainbow colors. Look for a large selection of blues, purples and pinks to choose from.
Dark nails: The vampy nail polish look is back. Look for deep purples, blues and black. Keep your nails trim and chip-free. Hawt!
Simple jewelry: 2014 is all about simpler jewels. Reach for one statement bracelet, or a few delicate necklaces to layer. No layered bracelets, only necklaces! Get it, got it, good.
Happy shopping, have a great New Years, and stay fabulous! 😉
Holiday suit
Photos: Earrings: Stephen Dweck (also love SAVE or SPLURGE) / Lipstick: c/o Dolce & Gabbana “Rose“ / Tank Top: Mossimo / Blazer: L’Wren Scott for BR / Necklace: Stella and Dot (also love SAVE or SPLURGE) / Skirt: L’Wren Scott for BR / Handbag: c/o Jill Milan (on sale!) / Ring: Vardy’s Jewelers (also love SAVE or SPLURGE) / Nail Polish: Chanel Rose Moire / Shoes: Manolo Blahnik
For years I have wished I owned the perfect black party suit. There are so many events during the holiday season, as well as throughout the year, when a formal suit would be the perfect attire for the occasion. I was thrilled when L’Wren Scott’s collection for Banana Republic debuted and it included the perfect dressy suit. I have already worn the suit to the San Jose Ballet’s “Nutcracker” and I am looking forward to wearing the suit to many more events this season. In addition to being worn as a suit, the sparkling pencil skirt can be paired with a sequin sweater while the blazer can worn over a silk skirt, trousers or even jeans for a girl’s night out! Love this!
Do you have a special occasion suit? If so, do you find yourself wearing it often?
