Spring Into The New Season

Spring is officially here, and that means summer is right around the corner. It’s time to pack up your winter gear and pull out those tank tops and shorts you’ve been hiding in the back of your closet. Your wardrobe is screaming for an overhaul, and this week, I’m going to show you just how to accomplish this.

Some of the best pieces in your wardrobe are the ones that can translate from one season to the next. As this week’s Fashionisto demonstrates, flats are an easy way to keep your outfits engaging and they can easily spring into the new season’s trends. I was lucky enough to find a similar pair from Zara here. One of my favorite current trends are the Ray-Ban sunglasses. This accessory is a fun and simple way to add a little surfer cool to your vibe without over doing it. I’ve found the perfect classic pair here.

Spring is definitely a time for change. Embrace the change in your wardrobe and try things what you’ve never tried before. Polka-dots are the perfect way to bring a little spring flair into your life; polka-dots aren’t just for the girls! Prints and patterns are becoming more and more unisex in fashion, and this goes for polka-dots, too. See for yourself at Urban Outfitters here. Renovate your wardrobe by pairing your dots with denim jeans and a lightweight jacket. Remember that fashion is always changing, but it’s what you do with the new trends that dictate your style. In the famous words of Coco Chanel, “Fashion changes, but style endures.”

Hint: Embrace change this week in your wardrobe. Stock up on flats, sunglasses and denim jeans. Pair your favorite jean with a polka-dot top. Add a pair of Ray-Ban sunglasses and say hello to your new and improved wardrobe. Take it a step further with a cool and lightweight jacket. This new look will not only have you feeling good but it will also have you digging out those buried New Year’s resolutions in no time.

Style On,

DENIM ALL OVER:This Fashionista Wears Denim Blues In Different Hues!

Denim Blues In Different Hues 

    Denim blues in different hues is our theme for this week Fashionista's! Whether you're cruising down Broughton Street in Savannah, GA or rolling down the Pacific Coast Highway, this look will get you to where you want to be. Long gone are the days of "mom jeans," nowadays jeans are the sexy casual trend that will make you feel like a million bucks. My Fashionista has hit this "look" on the bullseye. 

   
Thanks to companies like 7 For All Mankind, jeans are available to us in a wide variety of washes AND colors. To perfect my look of the week, pick up a pair of Skinny In Dusk Night Sky jeans. The great thing about skinny jeans is that they flatter all shapes and sizes and they are super easy to accessorize. Pair them with some Frye Riding Boots like my Fashionista or dress them up a tad with these metallic high heels. Whichever you prefer, your look is bound to kill. Polish this trend off with a denim shirt from TOPSHOP or for a rocker feel, wear this graphic t-shirt with a MOTO Denim Worker jacket. The important thing to remember is to mix and match your hues. If you wear a dark wash jean on the bottom, place a light wash denim jean shirt on the top to break up the monotony. The difference of hues will leave a lasting impression on innocent bystanders. 

How To Get The Look!

   

   Wondering how to finish this ensemble off? For those chilly days, a two toned beanie matched with a chunky belt will do the trick. Or if you're not a "hat" person, a cashmere scarf will have you commanding the streets too. Check out my style board for tips on what to look for when shopping this look. 

Tip: Long gone are the days where denim was considered frumpy. Turn your wardrobe upside down with a variety of denim washed jeans. They are a fabulous addition to your already fabulous wardrobe. Whether you wear them casually or spice them up with a heel, your closet can't go on without a pair. A pair of jeans like these are worth every penny and will last you a lifetime.
