Embrace color blocking that incorporates tangerine tango.

If the bright tangerine tango is too vivid for you, this patterned skirt is a more muted shade.

Make orange your accent color with this pair of shocking skinny jeans.

While you probably wouldn’t wear tangerine tango on your lips for everyday use, but why not look for a lip color with some orange in it, like this one?

Want to give red and pink colorblocking a try? Here’s some tips:

• Pair it with muted accessories in neutral colors.
• Bring up red or pink to your face in your lipstick or blush. This will help make you part of the color scheme with your clothes.

Would you try red and pink together?

This is my fave Navajo tee. <3

Fall 2011 Fashion Trends You Can Wear Virtually Everyday

What would you like to see more of in 2012?

This weekend I tried on a pair of Born lace-up oxford brogue shoes. I have been eyeballing and secretly coveting a pair of these babies for over a year, envisioning what I could wear them with. But when I got them on my feet at Dillard’s, they didn’t look like me at all.

They were great. But not on me.

Borrowed from menswear, the oxfords just looked like I was wearing boy’s shoes. Since I have short hair, that probably wasn’t making it any better. So, instead of trying to force the issue, I left. Empty handed.

If, like me, you discover a trend you absolutely love doesn’t work for your body type, your personal coloring or personal style, it’s okay. Some fashion trends are better left for other people.

Adopt the fashion trends that work for you, and leave the rest.

As you go back to college this fall, the weather is cooling down but that doesn’t mean you can’t rock your style this season. Even though tuition costs mean you’re on a budget this semester, here are fall 2011 fashion trends that college students can afford.

1. Bright colors will add life to fall days and energize you in the process, helping you make it through that 8am class you know you shouldn’t have signed up for.
2. Featured in Lucky Magazine’s October 2011 issue, the Native Indian trend is crossing the cultural divide and it very in right now. This $8 turquoise bangle is a great way to incorporate it into your style.
3. Choker necklaces aren’t just for goth girls anymore, they’re going mainstream and are all over the runways. A choker necklace will dress up even your most basic tank tops and tees.
4. Polka dots are playful and cute and easy to integrate through accessories like this infinity scarf and rainboots.
5. Tunics are a great piece to wear over leggings or skinny jeans and do well to conceal any figure variations you’d rather keep under wraps.
6. Lace. If you have a feminine personal style, lace is right up your alley.
7. Knit sweaters. As the temperatures drop, knit sweaters will become your new best friend as you cross campus in the cold.

What fall fashion trend will you be adding to your wardrobe this year?

There are some fashion trends that are certainly more wearable than others. If you are going shopping for new clothes this fall and are looking for clothes that will give you the best bang for your buck, here are 5 fall 2011 fashion trends you can wear virtually everyday:

1. Wideleg and flared pants
2. Pussybow blouses
3. Mens style watches
4. Boots of all varieties
5. Textural patterns

What fall fashion trends are you excited about?

Spring 2011 fashion is all about embracing the 70s! From flared jeans, to maxi dresses, crochet, and wedge shoes, the 70s are back! If you want to try some spring trends, here’s how to incorporate them into your wardrobe this season.

1. Oxford shoes. Borrowed from menswear, oxford shoes are a fresh take on flats. You can dress them up or down, pairing them with your skinny jeans, girly skirts and dresses, or even shorts.
2. Flared jeans. If you are tired of skinny jeans, flared jeans and wide-leg pants will be a welcome change. These styles are far more forgiving to womens’ bodies, balancing a fuller caboose or hips nicely and adding volume to smaller frames.
3. Maxi skirts and dresses. These floor-skimming styles work with so many more figure types than the mini! For maximum versatility, layer tops and jackets over your maxi dress.
4. Chambray shirts. This denim button down style shirt looks terrific tucked into your floral skirts, with rolled up chinos, or even jean shorts. Denim on denim is huge this spring! Belt it to show off your curves.
5. 

   Honeysuckle

   Color. Step a little out of your comfort zone and embrace colors like coral, orange, peach, lavender, aqua, chartreuse, or Pantone’s color of the year, honeysuckle.

6. Layered necklaces. Twice is nice applies to layering necklaces. Layering long necklaces together looks fab. The rule: wear necklaces of different lengths in the same metal together. Keep in mind it looks best if the shorter necklaces have smaller pendants and the longer necklaces have larger pendants.
7. Trench coats. Every spring, the classic trench coat comes back into vogue. Rather than wearing the standard khaki version, opt for a trench in a vibrant green, yellow, or pink. Some trenches even incorporate ruffles and bubble skirt styles to make it memorable.
8. Crochet. To add some depth and texture to your look, crochet is a great way to go. You can embrace crochet in a vest, oversize sweater, or even jewelry.
9. Wedge shoes. You’ll swear heels have never been so comfortable when you slip on a pair of wedge shoes!
10. Lace. We’re not talking a little peek-a-boo lingerie lace, but incorporating lace into your accessories like this necklace from LiveInStyle.

What fashion trends will you be trying this spring?
