Spring Time Colors

Spring time is approcahing faster than you know it. That means you transitions from the darker colors of Fall/Winter and go to more vibrant and softer colors to fit the softer mood. Spring is a time for new beginnings and the colors you wear can really make a difference in the way you look and how people perceive you! This pink and baby blue are strong complimentary colors that adds sharpness to an outfit with the blue but also a softer look with the pink which I know sounds like an oxymoron but it's true. Also the use of orange adds more brightness and lets you play with the color palette more, so in other words, it all goes. I found this wonderful designer off of Elle's Website by the name of Elie Saab. His use of florale frabrics create an artistic feel to his outfits which I apsolutely love and find perfect for spring. Feels like peices of art walking on the runways. 

This dress alone can be worn to party's like fundraisers or events such as magazine partys. This is the perfect length for spring since were are transitioning from cold weather to warm. The color is apsolutely amazing the the lace material adds more.

 

I love this piece especially. The way it goes from more material from the top to a more sheer material at the bottom keeps it interesting, as if its not interesting enough!

Hope you enjoyed! What are your favorite color an color combinations for the spring?

Who Wears the Pants With a Skirt On Top?

I decided to do a review on some outfits I stumbled upon here  in Elle's latest edition. I'm a lover of the masculine looks. Pointy shoulders, grandpa cardigans and long baggy trousers. Many women might shy away from wearing more manly man clothing but there is always a way to mix it up with a little femininity. 

I love this animal print blazer paired with these black trousers. This is a strong masculine look. This outfit just jumped off the page to me, seriously I love it!

However, pair that look with this cute Alexander McQueen. This tweed material looks fantastic with the brass knuckles. (Cute but deadly) 

This second look has a great blazer paired with a short vest underneath . Very vintage and what you would have seen men wear in the 1900's. Now we have modernized it into something chic.

That outfit would be paired greatly with these Nicholas Kirkwood sleek patent leather wedges. Man I love them and I'm sure there comfortable and the color, unique.

The last look I found in Elle was this grandpa style. Love the loafers with Herringbone blazer it looks comfortable and easy.

If you want to feminize it just a little. Add these cat eyed Ralph Lauren sunglasses. The animal print pattern gives it a sleek more feminine look. Just a little tone down form the masculine.

You can find all these model looks on Elle.com for the August Edition. Try and experiment with more masculine looks if you already haven't because you never know what kind of style you can create, even with a grandpa sweater and a pair of pumps. :)
