Spring/ Summer 2013 Trends: Black & White Stripes

I am in love with the black and white stripes trend for spring and summer. It creates a fresh look by playing with two neutral classics.  For summer, all black can be harsh for a nice sunny day and all white is too typical of summer, but the combination of both creates a harmonious union for the perfect look! This trend can be seen in various styles. Take a look!

Thin stripes, thick stripes, lighter stripes, different direction stripes. Pool side? Beach? Yes, please! ;)

 Bring this awesome trend to a pool side or the beach. This pattern will bring a feminine and flirtatious look to any kind of bathing suit you choose. Search for something that flatters your figure; add a little confidence, and you will look radiant!

1, 2, 3 Outerwear Must Haves

Outerwear is essential for a fabulous outfit and keeping you looking gorgeous. The functionality of outerwear, keeping us cozy, often leads us to underestimate the aesthetic value it brings to an outfit.

The 3 Outerwear Must Haves:  

1. The Blazer- Perfect item to transform almost any outfit into a sophisticated professional look.

2. The Cardigan- Excellent for putting together a business casual outfit.

3. The Jacket- Great transitional item to take your look from bland to chic and exciting.

These three outwear must haves allow you to maintain a feminine figure as opposed to sacrificing your shape with wearing a big, clunky, unflattering sweater or coat.
