This picture says it all…spring is on the way!  I look at this picture and can imagine the bold blue sky and feel the warm sunshine gently kissing my skin.  Are you as excited as I am to pull out the fresh spring styles that are inspired by this beautiful spring bud?  Don’t get me wrong, I love my cozy layers, but I’m looking forward to adding splashes of these brilliant colors into my spring wardrobe.  I know it’s just February but a girl can daydream, right?!

I decided that I needed to share with you a few ways to add these amazing Pantone Fashion Color selections effortlessly into your everyday wardrobe!  You could do this by adding a splash of color with a subtle accent piece to your current look or you can commit to being a style diva and an all-over color!  A great way to go monochromatic for beginners is denim.  Mix a chambray shirt with your go-to denim, BAM, you’re in the game! It’s a statement yet so simple!  Here are some ideas to help get you started.

 I’m also loving the gorgeous pale dogwood color!  Think blush or pale pink, it’s everywhere in the fashion world, and this one is perfect to incorporate into your closet for work or play.  You can’t go wrong with a timeless blouse or even an on-trend graphic sweatshirt!  You can even start now with the cozy off the shoulder sweater with the must-have bralette!  Spring color with winter warmth, win, win!

I saved the Pantone Color of the Year for last: Greenery!  This is a fun bold color that definitely makes a statement.  You could gently add it in with some jewelry, shoes or maybe a patterned shirt.  You don’t have to be true to the boldness though.  Make it your own, maybe you feel you look better in a dark green, then do it!  Here are a few options that will compliment most closets.

 I hope that these ideas inspire you to step up your fashion game in 2017!  If you have questions or want to work with me, let’s chat.  If you’re interested in any of these items, click the link or head to my Pinterest board for another look!  In closing, my best styling advice is to have fun with it and be confident.  Really, self-confidence is the best outfit you can have, rock it and own it!

Cheers, Christina

Can you believe it’s almost 2017?  Where did the year go?

 I love this look for New Years and beyond.  This outfit is so cozy and chic and these leggings are amazing!  I’m not sure why I waited so long to get them!

This skirt adds instant glam to any look!  Add a statement necklace or any bling and some heels for a traffic-stopping look!

 I hope my styling ideas inspire you to bring your look to a new level in 2017.  If you’d like a personalized look for your event I can also help with that.  Just shoot me an email.

Wishing you a successful and stylish new year!

Happy Holidays!  I’m so excited to be back with some fabulous styling tips for the most magical time of the year.  So don’t freak out yet, I’ve come up with three holiday looks that can help you solve that “what should I wear dilemma?”!  I hope they will guide you, like Santa’s sleigh, in the right fashion direction for all the festivities that end up on the calendar this time of year!

 This is such a timeless look with some trending elements added in.  I love the lace and velvet detailing to the dress.  It’s a must for the season and the cut is flattering for a variety of figures.  Add a pop of color and some sparkle and you’re set!  This would work perfectly for that cocktail holiday party or seeing the Nutcracker with your hot date!

This is my favorite look!  I love the juxtaposition of a preppy plaid top and a skirt with a timeless silhouette mixed with sequins and shimmer!  A touch of glam adds a playful element to the look.  Wait, is that a “Ho, ho, ho” clutch?  Yep, it is!  Code word, Santa’s got a brand new bag! This look would be perfect for a girl’s night out or even an office party.

 A cozy and chic winter white look is on-point!  Add rose gold accessories, booties, and a vest to round out the look.  If you’re heading into the cold grab a pom beanie by Love Your Melon.  This company donates 50% of its proceeds to children battling cancer.  Not only will you look pulled-together in this outfit trimming the tree or visiting the in-laws but you can feel good about giving back as well!

 I hope my styling ideas feel like a gift to you; you are getting the gift of time back to spend with those you love.  If you’d like a personalized look I can also help with that.  Just shoot me an email.

If you are loving these styles and want to grab them online follow the links and you can purchase them.  Most pieces are budget friendly too.

Wishing you a joyful and stylish holiday!

Cheers, Christina

Can you believe that Thanksgiving is right around the corner?  Are you thinking about preparing your meal, getting your home ready for guests, or pulling out your luggage to travel?  If so, you might not have had the time to think about what you should wear for the day or weekend full of festivities.  Well, I’ve taken some time to help you with that!  I put together a variety of options that will cater to your unique style.  An added bonus, they are forgiving just in case you eat a bit too much turkey, stuffing, and pie!  I know I always do!

Do you love that “Thankful” top as much as I do?!  Wait, is that a wishbone necklace?  Yep, it is!  I also selected boyfriend jeans that have some extra room but still create a flattering silhouette.

How can you not love a dress with pockets?  Layer it with a cozy and on-trend faux shearling vest.  Add booties and layering necklaces or a pendant and you’re practically ready.  So easy and oh so chic!

For all you lovely ladies that crave a timeless look, here you go!  A slightly oversized sweater, a D’Orsay flat, some arm candy and a pop of color!  Perfection!  You could easily wear leggings and boots with this look as well for another option.

 If you are loving these styles and want to grab them online follow the links and you can purchase them.  Most pieces are budget friendly too.  I hope you have a wonderful and stylish holiday!

Do you love to dress up for Halloween in crazy or scary costumes?  If so, you may want to skip to the next blog post!  Are you someone that wants to look stylish and participate in festivities without looking like you borrowed your kiddo’s costume?  Well, that’s me!  I am all for a fun celebration but I also want to be stylish.  So here are some tips to dress up without losing that “feel fabulous” vibe (or your dignity)!

1. Pick a style.  Edgy is always a great option for Halloween.

2. Pick a character/theme you want to emulate.

3. Own it!  Make the look your own with your signature style.

I thought a witch was the way to go this year.  With screen tee’s being on-trend that’s an easy way to have fun and make a statement…literally!  Here’s what I wore to a kiddo costume party.  Some parents dressed up and some didn’t.  I wanted to have fun with the kids and participate but in a way that made me feel like an adult.  I’ll wear the top again on Halloween but adding a witch’s hat.  This is my kind of costume!  Let me know what you decided to do to give your costume some flare!  Cheers, Christina
