How could I forget to mention this easy to wear neon tip. It’s great for the ‘new to neon’ lovers and is a great way to wear neon and tone it down at the same time. Layering your neon under a neutral cutout is a perfect way to rock the neon look without stepping too far out of your comfort zone 🙂 Here is an example of a lace dress with lime neon lining, available at Topshop($96)

Don’t be afraid of public nudity! Wearing nudes and Beiges is a great way to wear a neutral other than white. I love wearing nude with black heels and accessories. Nudes can also be worn with bright accessories like teals and pinks. If your more of a safe dressed gal, you can opt for the monochromatic look of head to toe nude with neutral accessories, it looks really pretty. As far as nude heels, if you follow this blog you know they are a STAPLE in my wardrobe and I love all nude heels! They really do match everything and elongate your legs so buy nude heels asap and you’ll never say ‘what shoe should I wear’ because your nude heel will bring any outfit together.

Everyone is sooooooo excited about the Hunger Games recent Box office takeover, but I can’t help being excited about Jennifer Lawrence’s red carpet glamour! (The movie was excellent by the way.) The 21 year old’s style evolution is off to a very good start if I do say so myself. Here are some pictures of her all glammed up, starting with the first time I had ever seen her mastering understated elegance in that simple yet sexy red dress on the Oscar red carpet.
Just in case you’ve been living under a rock for the past 20 years, Vera Wang is all things Bride. She branched off into ready to wear, stationary,home decor,sunglasses and now Makeup:) She masters anything she does so I am looking forward to this line. I must admit I have only been to kohl’s once and it wasn’t for clothes(I found some great picture frames) but I will definitely go back now. This is the 62 year olds first ever makeup line. The 16 piece collection will debut in April and ranges in price from $16.50 to $39.50 and will be sold exclusively at Kohl’s. “Like fashion, makeup is transformational” Wang recently said and I couldn’t agree more.
Random Vera Wang Facts: Vera was a senior fashion editor at Vogue for 17 years. In 1987 Vera left Vogue after being turned down for the editor in chief position currently filled by the infamous Anna Wintour. She worked as design director for Ralph Lauren while hatching a plan to open her own design salon. In 1990 she did just that, opening her first store at the Carlyle Hotel in New York featuring her wedding gowns. They always say when one door closes another one opens….in her case another door FLEW OFF THE HINGES! Hooray for Vera getting turned down and having it lead to what she was really destined to do. So many brides are thankful for that, I was lucky enough to wear 2 magical Vera Wang dresses(I wore a bridesmaid dress for the reception) on my big day and I’ll never forget it. Now we can all wear her everyday with this makeup line!
I love Peach and off white together, it’s a combo that can never go wrong. It’s also a great way to try color without stepping too far out of your comfort zone . Other wearing options…..Cream can be worn with pretty much any other color from black to red and everything in between. Peach looks great with other pastels*mint shown below and neutrals. Peach also looks stunning on olive and dark skin tones and while most fair skinned fashionistas have to be weary of pinks and reds, peach is very complimentary to lighter skin tones as well. Here are some cute looks to shop. Peach 3/4 elasticized sleeve dress with matching belt($36) available at Lulu’s. Cream Valentino ruffle sleeve dress with bow detail($695) and Peach long sleeve Diane Von Furstenberg dress with self tie belt($398) both available at Saks. Cream long sleeve shift dress with button detail at sleeve($34) available at Tobi. Pleated peach dress with brown belt($19.80) and Cream blouson peplum top($19.80),pictured with mint pants, both available at Forever21. Cream lace open back dress($48) and peach and gold tone earring($12) both available at Nordstrom.
