Winter 2014 fashion trends: light navy

fall 2013 light navy by bayareafashionista on Polyvore

 

Light navy blue was spotted on the runways for fall/winter 2013/2014 in Paris, Milan, London and New York. This vivid and classic version of navy blue stood out among shades of neutral, burgundy, red and black which dominated the runways.

Designers showed light navy blue on everything including handbags, apparel and shoes. The color was shown tonal as well as paired with other neutrals and autumn hues. Light navy blue looks amazing with black since it has more of a blue tone than dark navy blue which can sometimes be mistaken for black. Light navy blue also looks amazing with winter and holiday color trends which includes reds and pastels.

Light navy blue is a classic hue which is easy for any hair-color or skin tone to wear. This is definitely a great color to invest in for the fall 2013 and winter 2014 seasons. Since light navy blue is normally shown in the spring season, purchasing handbags, shoes or lightweight clothing during the fall/winter 2013/2014 season will prove a worthy investment when the spring 2014 season rolls around. You will already own light navy blue! Love that!

I found a few fabulous light navy pieces around the web and assembled them into the shopping widget below. Hope you love them! Happy shopping, and stay fabulous 😉

 

Fall/winter 2013/2014 street style trend: monogram

One of the biggest trends on the street right now is monogram. Fashionistas are monogramming everything from handbags to jewelry to sweaters. This personalization trend has not enjoyed such a bounce in popularity since SATC!

Monogrammed items fade in and out of style. Monogrammed sweaters were huge in the 50’s and 60’s, while the 1980’s enjoyed monogrammed necklaces and sweaters. Initials graced handbags and luggage in the 1980’s and 1990’s while “Sex and the City” gave new life to monogrammed necklaces in the late 1990’s and early 2000’s. In 2004 the ultimate “IT” handbag was a color blocked shoulder bag with a single initial on the front. Since then, the monogram has faded towards the back of every Fashionistas closet; until now.

As we head towards winter 2014 and the holiday 2013 season, the monogram is huge. Not only are Fashionistas buying monogrammed items for themselves, monograms will be the hottest gifts to give, and receive, this upcoming holiday season. So, if your closet is lacking in the personalization department, this is the perfect time to pick up a monogram necklace, clutch or sweater. This is also the perfect time to start placing orders for personal, monogrammed holiday gifts! Love it!

I found a few fabulous items around the web you can personalize for yourself or that special someone this holiday season. Hope you love them! Happy shopping, and stay fabulous 😉
