Spring Outfit Inspo!

Are you ready for fun in the sun kind of days? We sure are! Thankfully, daylight savings is almost here and our days will be longer! Remember what it feels like waking up in the mornings and the sun is bright, the sky is clear, the grass is green, and the air is fresh? That is Spring my friends! “Carpe Diem” becomes our mantra on the mornings we wake up feeling like it is going to be a great day. On days like that most of us wake up inspired to look our best as well. 
 
Sometimes we may not even have plans for the day yet, but we know we are getting ready regardless – because why waste a beautiful day! Our favorite part of sunny days is getting dolled up in sundresses and throwing on a sunhat. Here are a few of our favorite dresses paired up with our new hats. Let us know how you pair up your dresses by commenting below! Be sure to tag us in your fun in the sun pictures!

2015 Color of the Year: Marsala



PANTONE COLOR OF THE YEAR 2015 - Marsala 18-1438

Well the color of the year has been announced!  Wait for it..... it's MARSALA!?!

 The color of the year, Marsala, has received mixed reviews.   Some are pretty excited about the deep reddish brown hue, while others are just plain scratching their heads. No need to fret, there are plenty of subtle ways to work in the unexpected color into your wardrobe, homes, and anywhere else you wish.

 Marsala, which is actually a wine, is described by Pantone as being satisfying like a fulfilling warm meal.   It is a color liked and wearable by both men and women, and spans a variety of accessories options like nail varnish, lip stain, and cheek enhancement.

It is an earthy shade that is both dramatic, and warming, and meant to provide a level of comfort to those who are not only wearing it, but those who are looking at it.   Both dramatic and grounding, give this shade a try with subtle elements until you can find ways to work it in more exclusively in an item like a dress, or an overcoat.  

Marsala may be a hard shade to find in the most basic fashion Staples, but don't worry, now that you're more familiar with this particular color you'll start seeing it pop up everywhere. And don't be afraid to experiment with new and refreshing color combinations, as working with a hue that you're not typically used to can really bring out your creativity.

What do you think of the Marsala color of the year? How would you wear it in your wardrobe?

2015 Fashion Trend Alert: Bohemian Comeback

(photo: Monica Feudi / Feudiguaineri.com)

It's no secret that bohemian chic rules the worlds of the etherial, outdoor spirited fashion lovers, but 2015 is going to make everyone else a believer in this effortlessly bold trend.  Splashed all over the runways for 2015 Spring / Summer collections like Emilio Pucci (above), Gucci, Chloe, and a host of others, we're going to see a big uprising in the amount of styles and takes on this traditionally Earthy look.

Expect to see a surge in hues away from traditional browns, burgundy, and olive, and look for bold bright citrus colors, watercolor patterns, mixed textures of furs, suede, leather, chiffons, and unexpected touches with sequins.  The cut, thankfully, will always remain loose, billowy, and light-as-a-feather, making it one of the most comfy trends for this year!  And I personally couldn't be happier!

Try mixing metallic accents, gladiator sandals (another big trend for 2015), long dangle earrings, and tussled hair in your pairings.  And don't think too much about it!  The look is meant to flow naturally, a much needed diversion from the straight lines and restrictive silhouettes from last year.

So what do you think?  Are you excited to try the Boho trend if you haven't already?  How would you put your look together?
