Wild BLUE Yonder

One of the hottest colors of the fall is cobalt blue.  Yes, that's right, blue.  Some of you might be thinking that cobalt is more of a spring color, but blue was seen all over the runways and will be all over the stores... not to mention celebrities like Jessica Alba and Taylor Swift are already rocking this trend.



Cobalt blue is an intense color that can really help you make a statement.  It's easier to wear then fire engine red and much more interesting then fall's normal colors of olive and rust.  Plus, with it's cool undertones, cobalt complements every skin complexion. 

So get into the "blue mood" and embrace this trend.  You can start with just accents of blue and jump right in with head to toe blue.  Remember cobalt and black make a sophisticated and rich look. From tops to skirts to dresses to shoes to handbags, blue is going to be every where this fall.





So jump into the wild blue yonder and embrace cobalt this fall!

Clash of the Tartans

As New York Fashion Week is currently underway, showing looks for Spring 2014, it's time for us to start gearing up for Fall 2013 - even though the weather is the furthest thing from fall time.  But, there's no time like to present to get our closets ready!

One of the major trends for the fall is tartan, more commonly known as plaid.  Most people think of private school uniforms when they think of plaid; however, there is nothing old-school about this modern take on plaid.  When paired with leather, other prints, sequins, and textured vests, plaid can be a quiet way to show the world you are a confident, fashionista!


An easy way to rock this look is just with a basic plaid shirt and then layered with a vest - whether the vest is quilted, textured or fur, the added dimension of a vest gives a relaxed but very put together look.  Pair it with leggings or skinny jeans tucked into books or pump up the volume with leather booties!


If wearing plaid just isn't your thing but you still want to get in on this major trend, trying wading in the waters with an accessory.  Shoes, scarves, and handbags in all colors of plaid will be everywhere and should be really easy to find.  Use the plaid accessory to really pump up the volume of a plain outfit.

So don't be afraid to venture to the Scottish Highlands this fall and jump into the CLASH of the TARTANS!
