BRIGHTEN up your day with a little COLOR!!!

It's everywhere this season and after a long and dreary winter nothing could make me happier than adding some COLOR to my wardrobe!  I'm not talking pastels but with color this season brighter is better. Whether it is a smidge in the form of a handbag or head to toe brights, color is key this season and for the first time in a long time is a trend all on its own!

The assortments are so vast this season and color is everywhere but how to do it right? Keep these things in mind and you can successfully BRIGHTEN up your day with a little (or a lot of...) COLOR!!!

1. Head to toe?  There are no rules against wearing a great bright colored top with a different colored bottom. It is just about doing it right.  Pair a lighter bright blue skirt with a tucked in loose fitting orange colored tunic but neutralize your accessories! Go for nude colored patent pumps and a light beige skinny belt.  When going bright head to toe keep your accessories toned down!
2. Add some color to your work day! Is your work wear 99.9% black and grey?  Brighten up your wardrobe (and day) by pairing black trousers with some bright deep blue or purple pumps or substitute your normal day bag with a red clutch or handbag.
3. Be confident! You will definitely stand out in a crowd in color but embrace it and be comfortable.  Bringing some color into your wardrobe will boost your mood and therefore your confidence!

Here are some of my most favorite colorful finds out there now for $90 and under!

Get on Trend! Put Some Shape In Your Shoulders!!!

If you are anything like me your favorite part of watching any awards show is the outfits.  Let's take the Grammys for example.  Yes Elton John and Lady Gaga's duet along with Beyonce's wild solo performance were amazing but what I LOVE most are their outfits. 

I've been experimenting alot this season with puff shoulder dresses, tops, jackets, anything I can get my hands on and couldn't help but notice what a trend this was for the big timers at the Grammys:
                   Beyonce in Giorgio Armani Prive                     
               Lady GaGa in
       Giorgio Armani Prive                                                       
                                                                                  Celine Dion in
                                                                           Aqua.Rimondi


















FEAR NOT LADIES YOU DON'T HAVE TO BE A CELEBRITY TO WEAR PUFF SHOULDERS!  Have some fun with your wardrobe and PUT SOME SHAPE in your shoulders!!!

Just remember since you are adding volume to the top half of your body you should try and keep the color palette below the waist as DARK and as FITTED as possible.  A strong shouldered piece DESERVES to be center of attention (as do YOU)!

Fortunately for us there are numerous options out there that won't empty your pockets!  Check out my favorites for under $200!

TIP: Add some excitement to your piece!  Buy it in a print!  My personal favorite (and of course it is from F21) is worn by my friend Ana below (looking fabulous as always...).  Pair it with a solid black legging or skinny denim for the perfect going out look...
