How To Style Bright Colored Pants

Hey You Guys, I decided to show you all how to style bright, bold, and colorful pants for this Spring season, I also kept it consistent with a basic white oxford shirt... Two Pieces...Four Outfits. Enjoy!

Outfit 1: Dress it up - A blazer and wedges or heels can dress up any outfit. When paired with bright colored pants, you can still be semi-professional, yet fun.

Blazer: Forver 21+
Shirt: Old Navy
Pants: Gap
Shoes: Aldo
Necklace: Bakers

Outfit 2: Accessorize - A cute Spring( light material) scarf with a fun print or bright colors can not only keep you a little warm with those windy Spring days but cute and not as heavy as those pesky heavy winter Scarves.

Scarf: H&M
Shirt: Old Navy
Pants: Gap
Shoes: Target

Outfit 3: Color Block- Spring is the time when you can color block to bold colors and get away with it( if done right).. When color blocking, use colors that mesh and coordinate and make sure your shoes and accessories are neutral colors like black,nude, or tan so there is not too much clashing.

Chaertuse Cardigan: J.Crew
Yellow Sweater- J.Crew
Shirt: Old Navy
Pants: Gap
Purse: Tory Burch Ella Tote
Shoes: Tory Burch Reva Flats
Cheetah Earrings: DoughNation(Click Here) and @DoughNationJewelry

Oufit 4: Chill Day- A jean jacket is a Spring essential, its not too heavy that you will be hot and not to light that you would be chilly. Its also very stylish, especially vintage jean jackets like mine. If you want all attention on he pants without getting super dressed up, I definitely recommend a jean jacket and some chill sneakers.

Jean Jacket: Levis
Shirt: Old Navy
Pants: Gap
Shoes: Converse
Necklace: Forever21

Kardashian Kollection Spring 2013

I am so loving the Kardashian sisters Khloe, Kim, and Kourtney's new Spring 2013 campaign for their Kardashian Kollection for Sears. These ladies sure do know how to market themselves. I checked out the collection on sears.com and they definitely have some cute pieces.

BaddieBey + H&M

The oh so lovely Queen herself Beyonce' Knowles-Carter and everyone's favorite store H&M released the first picture of their summer collection. The photos which were shot in The Bahamas show a bronzed Bey laying on a beach chair with a cream, sleeveless, blouse, a cute side-do and printed shorts.

As of today, March 22nd, H&M has released a press release mentioning that summer collection was inspired by Beyonce and she worked with the an in-house design team to come up with pieces including swim wear. The collection includes the four elements: earth, water, wind and fire.

“I've always liked H&M's focus on fun and affordable fashion. I really loved the concept we collaborated on to explore the different emotions of women represented by the four elements -- fire, water, earth and wind. It was a beautiful shoot on a tropical island. It felt more like making a video than a commercial,” says Beyonce'

For make-up she's definitely summer ready with a natural, bronzed look and a red maybe rust color lip.

Are you excited for this collection? I am being a true H&M lover.

You Can't Fake Fashion!

The CFDA( Council of Fashion Designers of America) and eBay have launched their third campaign against... yes you guessed it... knock-off designer items. The campaign entitled "You Can’t Fake Fashion" has collaborated with 90 American designers including Diane von Furstenberg, Ralph Lauren, Badgley Mischka, Rag and Bones, and Anna Sui. Each designer contributed a one-of-a-kind tote bag to go up for auction on eBay to benefit the CFDA’s anti-counterfeiting efforts. These unique totes start at $100 and range up to $515 but keep calm, eBay and the CFDA have a cute and simple tote bag that is $50 so if you(like myself) don't have the bread for the $515.00 bag that I have my eye on its cool every purchase/bid makes a difference.

To check out more on this campaign and to see all the available bags check out the CFDA's website here and I attached a few of my favorite bags if anybody is interested in winning one for me I will kindly appreciate it.
