Safari Style

As the weather warms up, so should your wardrobe. Safari style has always been one of my favorites and it is simply perfect for spring and summer. Hunter green, creamy white, khaki separates and brown leather accessories all create a fabulously stylish look.

Safari style can be chic even though it is intended to be worn for the rugged outdoors. Add pops of gold to these natural hues for a great way to jazz up your look. Pair your outfit with your favorite brown leather accessories or add panache by wearing an earthy pair of sky high espadrilles. This exotic outfit will surely add fun and style to your wardrobe.

A Burst of Orange

There is something about a burst of orange that I simply love. Whether adorned on a billowy tank, a flirty frock, a sassy skirt, a softer than ever lightweight wrap, a leather wallet or purse; orange will surely add a vivid splash of color to any ensemble.

Orange can be construed as a bold color, so it is best to subdue it with neutral items. White, black and a fabulous dark denim are always great choices to wear with orange. Additionally, it pairs wonderfully with metallic accessories (example: your favorite gold cuff and heels or a chunky silver watch).






Here are some accessories that add just enough orange to liven up your outfit 

Budd Leather Lizard Calf Framed Wallet

Lightweight Wrap, Banana Republic

Kate Spade Bag

Spring forward with this fun, flirty, and fabulous color!

Monday Blues

Currently, I have the Monday Blues and to top it off it is pouring rain here in Los Angeles. However, this outfit is boosting my spirits in preparation for the dreariness to subside and the sun to emerge. It is the perfect outfit to gallivant around town while looking chic and cool. Have a beautiful week and Happy Spring!

A Pop of Red

Spruce up your wardrobe this S/S '11 with a pop of red. This color is invigorating, carefree and adds a touch of va va voom without being over the top. It is best worn interspersed into your wardrobe rather than a full-blown ensemble.

Red pairs great with dark denim

Gucci's advertisement offers punches of red color

Cherry tomato, scarlet, crimson, fire engine, wine and candy apple are just some of the gorgeous hues that red offers. I think red looks amazing with dark denim, brown leather accessories, white, black or silver. Or color block like Gucci's ad with other bold colors like a bright royal purple or cool teal blue.

White Hot

White is the hottest color right now and is popping up everywhere this Spring. It is exploding on sharp button up shirts, whimsical flowy dresses, accessories galore, pants in every style, silk tops and fierce tuxedo blazers. Wear an all white ensemble or punctuate with just a few statement pieces and you'll surely be looking as heavenly as the clouds above.
