Julep Color Inspiration

Photo: Artwork by Michael Trujillo, Nail Polish c/o Julep.com

I am a victim of shying away from color, so once again I’m resolving to wear more P.O.C.s (pops of color) in any way I can. Julep.com sent over an awesome kit with these two hues in it, and it happens to match some art in my house. The pink and blue are totally not something that I’d pick up on the Rite Aid down the road, but they are encouraging me to make my nails the into a new accessory.

So, pink and blue you will be part of my wardrobe (sneakily on my fingertips) and not full-on outfits like in the editorials above, but let’s make those goals to move towards. One step at a time, one step at a time….

Well, gonna give these new colors a lil pat on the back for making me add some life into my black & neutral wardrobe! Pat. Pat.

Black Maxi Magic

Asymmetrical Sheer Black Maxi Skirt

It’s no secret that I love to wear black, but the ultimate is not an LBD for me, its a maxi skirt. No, I’m not hiding anything under there or trying to look like a school teacher – with the right material and styling a maxi can elongate my shorty silhouette and not make me look stumpy dumpy.

Totally in love with black maxis – dress or skirt, pleated or asymmetical, sheer or solid. My fave which I’m suuuuuper excited about is my new American Apparel chiffon maxi skirt (also a more sheer version here)  – It’s so comfy, flowy, and a wardrobe staple.

Go work your magic.

Five Freakin’ Fantastic Blogs

January 17th, 2012 § 5 comments § permalink

Chloe Ting of fashion blog Chloe's Addiction

One of the best things about blogs these days is finding up-n-comers and how every blogger has a new fresh view of things. I think that’s what’s so great about the whole fashion blog “evolution”. It’s super rare to have two blogs be direct copies of each other.  A lot of fashion mags have the same layout, but there are sooooo many different blog layouts, designs, content, features, etc. Everybody does it differently, and it’s freakin’ fantastic. So, here’s five of my current faves.

First up…Chloe’s Addiction. Can we say “ahhhhhhhhhhhhh-mazing”?  This gal has the best collection of Jeffrey Campbell shoes known to man. Her style can go from super sweet and romantic to hipster (dare I say..) chic (I said it).

The Minimal Liste Fashion Blog

The Minimal Liste. Cool new sister-duo Lizz and Meg have a crazy assortment of accessories (right up my alley) and take turn doing style outfits. It’s a good mix of their own photos, collages, and editorials – all keepin it real.

Madeline Pendleton of fashion blog Jean Greige in Shearling Coat

One of the most b.a. bloggers around is Madeline of Jean Greige. She’s got the most epic ring stashes in L.A., AND she always makes some of the wildest pieces look uber-easy to pull off. (Lovin her in that shearling coat, btw)

Fashion Blogger Jessica Tran of Jess Loves Fred at Minkpink Headquarters

Half-way around the globe is Jess Loves Fred. First thing’s first: How awesome is her hair? I mean, soooo cool. I wish I could pull the half-shave thing off. Second, she’s great at mixing brights and prints (which I am currently lacking skill on) and finding cool bold baubles. Check it.

Fashion Blog The Maven Post

Great photos. Great style. Cool locations – The Maven Post keeps ya guessing at what she’s gonna do next. I adore the photo above in the fur vest and and that blocked skirt. She’s got it going on.

Keepin’ these babes on my roster to visit, as they are each totally inspiring in their own way!!!!

Even though it’s crazy-warm in LA, I will most likely turn to at least one black apparel item this week. I can’t help it. Cheers to all black outfits, volume, and cool lines. What. A. Mega. Shoot.

So disappointed that I didn’t get the Christmas maxi dress I had wanted, so I’m on the search for a new year’s dress. Whatever I find, it’s probably going to be inspired by one of the above. Thanks, Vogue Germany.
