Let the sun shine in! A great way to chase away the gray is with a pop of color. Yellow is an especially happy color, and will lighten up your face. I like this coat because it’s classic but bold. It’s color is grounded with a brown faux fur hood and brown buttons. So, you can easily pair it with your winter colors. It will look great over charcoal, brown, navy, and green. So, let all the other girls fade into the crowd - be the one who stands out.

A statement necklace is a great way to freshen up an old dress. However, don’t think you can take out your taffeta prom dress from the 80’s and give it new life by adding a bold necklace. The reason being your dress from the 80’s probably has too much going on in style and design. If you want to make a statement with a large gemstone necklace, keep the dress modern and simple. It’s a perfect match with all the strapless dresses out there right now, it gives the necklace the perfect amount of attention. We’re going to show you three great examples of how to wear a statement necklace.

Let’s play a little bit with color this summer. Bold colors have been everywhere all spring long, it’s no surprise it’s a trend that translates right into summer. A watch is great place to show some color and you don’t have to spend a lot of money either. Tons of companies have a bold colored watch in their collections. You can go ultra-feminine with a more delicate watch, or a sport watch in a big bold beautiful color. We love to see a brightly colored sports watch, because it’s a masculine watch in a feminine color. It becomes a more unexpected and intriguing piece. Grab a blue watch that’s the color of the summer sky. Or a yellow one that is as brilliant as the sun. There’s even candy colored pink, and tangerine orange. The colors are refreshing and completely cool for the summer. I’m considering the Gino Franco with the yellow band and the pink face. It’s like a combination of lemonade and pink grapefruit juice - love it!

Every spring we are reminded just how versatile and classic a trench coat can be. It’s probably one of the best wardrobe investments you will ever make, because it will never go out of fashion. If you currently have one from years past, you can easily update it by shortening it to the knee or slightly above. If you happen to be in the market for a trench, there are two ways to go: 1. You could go for a trench in a bold color, which is very au courant. Or, 2. You can choose a classic black or tan trench. The latter may be the smarter buy if you don’t have a trench. However, if you already have a classic then you may want to consider punching your wardrobe up a little with a bold color. Or you can choose one with a modern take on the classic design like the Gryphon trench pictured above. It’s no loner about the rain, this coat goes anywhere, anytime, and with anything. It looks sassy and sophisticated with jeans and a tee. It also looks sexy and mysterious belted over a skirt or dress. Either way, a trench is smart looking and makes any look polished and pulled together. It’s a must; ponder the purchase no more!
The BOLD colors of spring are a welcome change from the usual palette of springs past. It’s all about bright blues, eye popping pinks, lush grass greens, and lemony yellows. All you need to determine is how bold you want to be. You can go all over bold, or add a simple splash of color. For a subtle look, pair a brightly colored top with a pair of white jeans. For the daring, go for a dress in a lively hue. Pull it all together with a fun clutch.
