fashion funnies: global warning...

one of my friends had posted this on her facebook page...i had to share it for our saturday fashion funnies...my how time has changed...



hope you are enjoying your weekend!

you had me at hello: golden...

i'm finally making a point and looking back on all the pages in the september issue of vogue...and all the other september magazines frankly...that i had marked as the pages "to go back to"...there are lots =)

this beauty had me at hello...was it the gold? the texture? the combination of the two? who cares...all i know is that i absolutely love this dress...

are you thinking of bringing some metallic into your fall wardrobe?

below the waist...

is there that one or two colors that you love...but feel you can't wear? perhaps it makes you look pale...washes you out...a bit too bright for around the face...if it is a color that you love...there are ways of incorporating it into your wardrobe...just work below the waist...

whether you find that favorite color in a skirt...pants...shoes...or even a belt or handbag...a color that you love can be worked in the wardrobe...even when it doesn't work close to the face...

speaking of color...i was shopping for a client at nordstrom today...and saw the most fabulous rack of pencil skirts...by halogen...i seriously think i need to pick up one or two...which color to choose though...they are all so fabulous! click on the link below to see all ten colors...it may be one of those "you can't have just one" moments...

color block shoes in brights & muted...

so here it was...just last friday that i did a post on color blocking your shoes...thinking that was the end of that...

well imagine my excitement...when over the weekend i received two different pairs of shoes for the fabulous finds consignment boutique...and they just happen to have the lovely arrangement of color blocking...

so here they are...one in brights...and one in muted colors...but both showing a lovely example of color blocking your shoes...

the colored jean...

one of the big trends out currently is the colored jean...let me tell you...there are some bright colors out there...really fun way of incorporating some pizzazz into your wardrobe...do you think you are game?

today i set out to do some shopping with my niece who is visiting from the east coast...somehow we got on the conversation about red jeans...and how they are so hot right now...and then she tells me...red is her school color...well...that for me is a no brainer for a young girl...

we set out to find the perfect pair of red jeans...and i'm happy to report...we did! they look adorable on her...and bless her heart...she was a little excited about stepping out of her comfort zone...

while shopping...i spotted some fabulous colors in jeans...everything from bright reds, royal blues, purples, greens to a little more subdued coloring...the point being...there is a shade out there for everyone...
