Neutral and classic nails 2023: Chanel nail polish / Dior nail polish /

The nail polish trends for 2023 include classic nails and neutral nail polish. If you love a chic and timeless look on your nails, this is your year! Designers are opting for neutral hues, shades of pink, and classic reds. You can go with a soft pink, avant-garde pink, red hot red, subdue red, and anything in between. It is up to you and your personal style! Love that!

My two favorite nail polish brands are obviously Dior and Chanel. They both are free of harmful chemicals and offer long lasting formulas, especially Dior!

If you aren’t into neutral and classic nail polish colors, you can always add a fun top coat. Both Chanel and Dior have been offering seasonal top coats which can elevate any nail polish hue you have in your wardrobe. I am in love with Dior’s Pearl top coat for spring. I have been wearing it non-stop!

What are your favorite neutral and classic nail polish colors? Do you prefer to wear them plain, or add some spice with a sparkling top coat?

The color of 2023 is here! Pantone announced last week that the new color of the year for 2023 is “Viva Magenta.” This saturated hue combines pink and red to create a color found in nature that we can all love.

There are many variations of Viva Magenta in fashion as move into 2023. We will have choices between shades of pink and red, as well as shades of magenta. There will be a lot of choices from this color family. So, if Magenta isn’t your thing, but you love more of a true red or pink, you’re in luck! Your color will be out there!

I found a few fabulous items around the web in shades of magenta to kick off the new color of the year. I hope you love them!

How do you plan to wear Viva Magenta? I have my eyes on that sweater shown above, and I have a scarf I plan to put back into circulation. It is such a pretty color!

To learn more about the color of the year 2023 Viva Magenta, please visit Pantone.com.

Thanks for stopping by, and enjoy Viva Magenta!

Spring 2023 trends from NYFW

The last model has walked off the New York Fashion Week runway for the spring/summer 2023 season, and we are left with inspiration for the new year.

New York designers favored two distinct color palettes for the spring 2023 season. We are seeing bright hues, and also mixed neutrals; which are reminiscent of 1970s fashion.

Speaking of 1970s inspiration, the decades of influence from New York for the spring season were heavy on the 1970s, and also mixed in with 1960s vibes, and some 1990s and early 2000s trends. Think the return of Jellies and swamp foot. Yikes!

The handbag trends from NYFW for spring 2023 include the return of the doctor bag, slouchy and large bags, jelly bags, and the continuation of the hobo bag, moon shaped bag, small bags with structure, and structured clutches.

For fashion, we are seeing asymmetric necklines and hemlines, maxi skirts and dresses, 1960s mini dresses and skirts, more puff sleeves, off-the-shoulder and one-shoulder necklines, pencil skirts, blazers, all-white looks, cut-outs, and wait for it-it’s very groundbreaking-florals!!!

The overall vibe for spring 2023 is a return to dressing up. Look for less loungewear, and more dressy styles. While street sneakers are still hot, they are paired with pants and a blazer instead of a track suit. The rule of this thumb this spring; comb your hair and tuck in your shirt, there is no room for being sloppy.

Well, that’s it! Not a lot of changes from fall 2022. What are you looking forward to for the spring 2023 season?

Thanks for stopping by!

XOXO
