Trend 2: Color of the Season!
Hello Lovelies!
Happy Thursday! The weekend is almost here! It seemed like a great time to share another fall trend with you guys! Usually each season there will be a few key colors that have repeatedly occurred in various designers collections. This season that color is oxblood (or burgundy or chianti, if you must), as it has appeared in collections such as Tommy Hilfiger and DKNY.
I have to admit, any shade of red has just never been a favorite of mine. However, this shade really has grown on me. I even purchased a pair of oxblood, patent leather loafers at Goodwill today (Pictures to come)! I began to think about all the different options that this color had to offer! I thought about how I could wear it with black, brown, grey, navy, and (even on the rare occasion) khaki! And what is so cool about it, is that with each different color you pair it with, each outfit would all have a different feel to it. For instance, when wearing an oxblood jacket with black ankle pants, I imagine a very chic and edgy look. However, when I think of wearing the same oxblood jacket with brown pants, it could have the potential to have a more equestrian (yet another trend this season!) look to it, which could be fabulous! The options with this are absolutely endless! You can add a statement piece to your outfit by adding maybe an oxblood blazer, but more subdued shades for the rest of the look. You could also play around with accessories and just add in pops of oxblood with your shoes or a bag or even a scarf! OR maybe you are just going to jump into fall trends full force and wear monochromatic oxblood! I say Go for it, the sky is the limit with this one!
What are your thoughts on this trend? How would you incorporate oxblood into your style?

Much Love,

Fall Fashion Trend Update!
Hello Lovelies!
Unfortunately, we all know that the time for summer to come to an end is upon us. For me, I always realize this when the September issue of all my favorite magazines make their way onto the shelves at the checkout counter of the grocery store! However, there is a feeling of excitement I feel as I let my fingers do the walking through those glossy pages in search of the latest trends for fall! I know I love to update my wardrobe season to season, and I'm sure y'all can understand what I'm feeling. So, I know you're just dying to know what's in store for you this season! But, I just can't seem to cram all these goodies into one post soooo... let me introduce to you Fall Trend Number 1:
Yes, Baroque Prints indeed are a must for this season! Baroque prints can give any outfit a feeling of luxury and sophistication. Inspired by the artistic movement during the 1600's in Europe, these lavish prints can make you feel like royalty! Pair a blazer or cardigan like the one above with skinny jeans, a black tank, and some gold pumps or sandals(We are still transitioning from summer to fall!) to create a knock out look for dinner or even a casual look for work. Pump up the glamour and try a baroque skirt with heels (or ballet flats!) and a simple black top for a night out with your beau or a fun night with the girls! Feeling a bit hesitant about playing with pattern? Don't be scared! Fashion is all about having fun and showing your personality through what you wear! Still not convinced? Take baby steps and add baroque print in with your accessories like the Versace sunglasses above. You could even add a pop of print with shoes or a bag. The thing about trends is we can incorporate them into our wardrobe to reflect our own personal style! The possibilities are endless!
Until next time,
Jade
