2014 Trends!

Happy New Year! It's January 1st and time to start gearing up for the 2014 trends! Here are some thoughts...

 I think 2014 will the year of red! It was all over the runways and as winter lumbers on it's a good idea to have a vibrant hue to wear to cheer the spirits. And it doesn't have to be completely obnoxious.
Dorothy Perkins  The peplum isn't going anywhere this year so if you're a fan, great for you. If you're a thicker-waisted girl like myself, hang in there. 

ModCloth Also I'm thinking plaid will stay strong this year, yay!

Amazon Winter winds are blowing towards skorts this spring. I'm a bit trepidatious...


Shoe-wise revamped(if not slightly impractical) boots may be in store this winter. 

Fashion Union These are rough and tough (and red!) but the cutouts will not hold up in snowier climes. Oh well! Bust out this fierceness on more mild days. I'm loving the idea of an argyle knee-sock with these.

ModCloth This little kiltie toe detail will be seen, not just on boots, but pumps and flats in 2014, a little flair for you! 


Another shoe trend I'm seeing for this coming year is two-toned neutrals:

Piperlime  This graphic pump can add a simple, but sophisticated touch to finish off an outfit. 


I'm a big fan of vests and in this coming year the bigger the better!

A vest can add a layer of texture, color, and warmth, and help pull together a basic outfit of black trousers and a simple top. Wear it as a statement piece. 

This year you'll also see midi skirts, crop tops, and branding logos. I'd provide you with images but I'm a big hungover this New Year's day so you'll just have to trust me.  Happy New Year and Happy Outfitting!

Annie Lennox Realness!

Love the tuxedo detail of these cropped pants. coat/pants-Jcrew(similar here and here ), blazer-Zara(similar here ), shirt-Asos(sort of similar here ), shoes-DSW(really cool here ), gloves-Brian Atwood for Neiman Marcus/Target(more gloves here ), sunglasses-Banana Republic(similar here ) I'm feeling very Annie Lennox circa Eurythmics in this outfit, eh? Most times wearing a coat is a necessity, not necessarily an intricate part of the outfit, but here it really makes the look. And even though the blazer is covered up the hints of it, almost like a lining, work break up an all grey/white look.  And now for your viewing pleasure  Sweet Dreams:   Have a great weekend!

Hamptons-Poolside-Chic meets Sue Ellen Ewing Early '80's Realness

Okay, this post title is ridiculous I know, BUT come on, it's accurate am I right? blouse- JOA via Le Tote , necklace/bracelet- Le Tote , trousers- Zara , belt-J.Crew,(similar here ) wedges- Sole Society These pleated drapey pants scream early 80's glamour. Paired with this sailor-suit-esque blouse I was definitely ready for a seaside cocktail party, right? This outfit also called to mind the elegance of early 80's  Dallas .  It has been my experience that as a child of the 80's one's house was either in the Dallas camp or the Dynasty camp. We were a Dallas household for sures. So, one of my earliest style influences was Sue Ellen Ewing . Despite the pills, the booze, the philandering husband, and lost potential of a life on her own terms Miss Sue Ellen kept it quite fierce especially in the early years of the show.  Here she is serving up sternum-baring chic!  I tried to watch the reboot of the series on TNT, but I just couldn...

Cowboy Boots & Floral Skirts

Western wear has seen a resurgence here with the Cowboy Carter of it all, among other influences. I'm not one for cowgirl cosplay, but I do enjoy a good boot. Here I've styled by western boots with a mixed print autumnal outfit.  Blazer-- Luciano Barbera via Threadflip(now defunct), henley-Gap(similar here ), shirt-Uniqlo(similar here ), skirt- Amazon , boots-Coconuts via DSW(similar here ), necklace/bracelet- Slide Jewelry , ring/necklace-Ana Luisa(similar here and here ) I last featured these boots in a spring/summer look here . And I styled them with this same skirt back in April here . While this top is part of a "matching set" featured here  I'm doing the classic styling hack of "breaking it up" and the olive green coordinates with the skirt. You can watch my reel of the cinching drawstring features of this shirt here .  Again I'm wearing the promotional Slide Jewelry set. Here's a referral link to also become an ambassador for discounts ...
