Trend: American Flag Scarves

This seasons trend that I'm loving is the flag print trend. The american flag is the most popular flag when trying out this trend, but I'm obsessed with the british flag. the red and blue of both these flags are spectacular colors for any skin tone, and these flags are great if you want to create an edgy look.

I have always been a huge fan of the colors red, white, and blue. Paired together they give a crisp, fashion forward feel. Patriotic fashion is nothing new, there have always been touches of this every season in fashion, but this season it goes from subtle touches to literal American flag pants, sweat shirts, and even shoes!! I am totally loving this take—it feels so rock and roll and retro 70's with a modern twist!

Just over the weekend I bought a red blazer, denim and a vintage American flag scarf. Later, when I looked over everything, the vibe I was digging that day was very apparent. All of these pieces work great together but also are key pieces that work great individually.

I also love seeing this trend in home fashion. It is so cool to have an American flag pillow thrown across a leopard throw or modern striped couch. It is all about mixing unexpected patterns and prints.

Take a look at the images; they offer options as to how you can create your own spin on Americana in both subtle and literal ways. No matter what your take is on this remember, there is no wrong way to do this "Must Do" Trend!
Fashionably Yours,

Electric and playful

The runways for spring were sprinkled with pops of  cobalt blue , which is a perfect alternative for those that aren’t keen on a typical pastel palette. This bold color adds a sophisticated punch when worn in the form of tailored  blazers  and blouses, but is electric and playful when worn as handbags or statement  jewelry . Get a head start and add this color to your wardrobe before all the blue-fanatics snatch it up this spring. Transforming bright shirts, shoes, dresses and even pants, cobalt blue has been surrounding all the runways this season. Paired with black, it has been the theme of some designer’s shows, including  Monique Lhuillier , who centered all of her  Spring 2012  pieces around the brilliant cobalt blue, basic black, a stunning yellow, and bright white. This color has been proven to be practical in an incredible amount of ways. The latest trend in jeans-wear is the colored jean. There are fifty-five colors alone at...

Glam Camouflage: the Not-So-Invisible Trend

With Spring well within our grasp and the yearly print trend set to make an emergence, the time has come to address that tetchy issue; that is the camouflage debate. Camouflage print has a lot of well-earned stigma attached, with military overkill and three-quarter length cargo shorts carrying much of the blame.

Follow these tips to make sure you stay camouflage cool. What I'm wearing: From Temptation Boutique: Top, Shorts: Miss Me Jeans, Ring: Rhinestones and the Earrings: Rhinestones Hoop. Belt: Ti amo, Necklace: GUESS, Rain Boots: HUNTER, Bag: Evisu, Bracelet Watch: GUESS, 3 pieces Bracelets: H&M When you think of camo, you normally picture heavy duty, “manly” apparel. However, spring 2012’s runways were filled with colorful camo patterns that looked – dare I say it – actually ladylike! The t...

How to wear leopard print shoes

What I'm wearing: Shoes: Limited Edition One of the quickest ways to add a dash of personality to any outfit is to mix in a pair of leopard print shoes. But, as popular and fun as they are, leopard prints don't really work with everything. In fact, I can probably name more colors and outfits that leopard print shoes don't work with than I can items they will. The good news is, when you get the right combination, it's a tough one to beat for drama, glamour and sex appeal. Below are a few tips on what to wear with leopard print shoes. The Obvious Choice for Leopard Print Shoes : Black It almost goes without saying, but  black dresses , skirts, and pants are a perfect match for leopard print shoes. Not only because leopard prints have black in them -- although that certainly doesn't hurt -- but also because black really emphasized the lighter tones in traditional leopard print patterns. So, that's an easy one, and you could just r...
