Colors are a Girl's Best Friend

Chic doesn't have to mean black from head to toe... or at all, for that matter. A daring color combination can have the same streamlining affect as a monotone ensemble. Colors are the paint to the canvas of a soul. Kaaren, a soft, lithe-spirited, totally fabulous regular customer of ours was happy to let us experiment with a style outside of her usual box. The results... see for yourself!

Princess Prints

Take a lesson from Emilio Pucci, a couture designer known as "the prince of prints": patterns play well together. The trick is letting one of the prints take the lead. A smaller print will sing a perfect harmony to the melody of a big, bold pattern. And the icing: tying them all together with accessories that speak to both. Did you even notice that Sandra's shoes are patterned? Neatly-casual hair is a great way to softly frame a face, and gives a touch of feminine, free-spirit to any look.

Forget reality television, get out there and be your own must-watch-this! Fashion is like our very own set of feathers. We can express ourselves by what we wear: emotions, individuality, personality, moods, and even our lives can dictate what we reach for in our closets

Field & Flower

Mother Nature is one inspiring woman. Take a look around... color combinations that might scare you in your closet are breathtaking in the natural world. A stormy gray sky against April's new greens. The burning oranges and reds of fall leaves against October's blue, blue sky. A field of daffodils. What are your eyes drawn to? Make a mental note, and the next time you get dressed, go for it!

Accessories are Necessities!

Each piece in your wardrobe is just that: a piece to a fun, daily puzzle. Consider your pieces as one of two things: cake or frosting. They're both sweet on their own, but even more delicious in tandem. Accessories are the easiest kind of frosting. Patterned tights, look-at-me shoes, or bold colors near your face are all quick ways to add a dash of sugar to your look.

Contrast Can...

What do plaid, animal print, silk, cotton, velvet, red, pink, blue, and tie-dye have in common? Ivana used all of them when she styled me on this slow, rainy day. It's pouring buckets outside so we had to stay inside of our little store for this pictorial. The lesson in the kaleidescope of contrast: It works. Sometimes what a bold piece needs for balance is an equally bold partner in crime.
