 in Color Trends / Trends  tagged blue / green / runway trends / spring 2013 / street style trends by

With Emerald green being the color of the year, and shades of blue being hot for the spring season, it is no wonder that one of the popular color combinations for the upcoming warm weather season is the combination of blue and green.

Shades of blue and green are hot for the spring 2013 season. These two colors combined create a fresh color combination which is easy to wear and will definitely turn heads. This oceanic color combination is easy to pull off; especially since blue and green play so well together! Love this!

To rock the blue and green trend, look for solid colors which look nice together such as emerald green skinny jeans paired with a navy or cobalt top. You can also add colorful jewelry, scarves, shoes and handbags! It does not matter how many shades of blue and green you wear at one time, the colors blend easily and appear soft; meaning you would not want to do this with brighter shades such as orange and yellow.

We put together a few blue and green looks to help inspire an oceanic idea from your closet. Hope you love it! Happy shopping, and stay fabulous

Chanel Sky Line nail polish review

 in Beauty / Nail Polish  tagged blue / chanel / chanel nail polish by

Chanel released a special collection late last summer which included a beautiful, baby blue nail polish hue named “Sky Line.” This beautiful pale yet vibrant shade of blue was lost during August when the fall 2012 colors began to hit store shelves and Fashionistas everywhere flocked towards shades of burgundy, berry, brown, red, purple and dark pink. But now, as we move towards resort 2013 and spring 2013, and pastels are an important color group for the current, winter 2013 season, this beautiful blue nail polish seems like the perfect polish for our fingertips.

Chanel Sky Line nail polish is named appropriately as the blue hue is almost the same shade of blue as a clear sky. The nail polish itself has a slightly dimensional nature which makes it stand out from a regular, baby blue nail polish color.

Light blue nail polish works perfectly with all of winter 2013’spastel hues and also makes an interesting contrast when paired with resort 2013’s neon colors. With Emerald green being the color of 2013, and every shade of blue being hot for spring 2013, Sky Line by Chanel is the perfect transitional nail polish color to wear now, before we are mesmerized by Chanel’s spring 2013 nail polish line. 

Sky Line by Chanel applies perfectly in two coats and is chip resistant. This limited edition nail polish color can be found in Chanel Boutiques and also on Chanel’s website at chanel.com.
