Since its installation in 2008, Urban Light has become a visual icon of Los Angeles. Standing in front of LACMA, Urban Light consists of 202 restored cast-iron street lamps, most of which used to light the streets of Southern California. Artist Chris Burden began collecting street lamps in 2000 ranging from 20 to 30 feet tall, there are a total of 17 different lamp styles. This iconic and abstract piece of art is one of the city’s most photographed sites. It was stunningly beautiful up close with its elaborate geometric patterns and exuberant glow. To stand out amongst the uniform grey sculpture I chose a beige palette attire for a sleek appeal and feminine look. Rompers are sizzling on the trend report this season. It is probably one of the most effortless ways to throw on a one-piece outfit and make it look fashionable. They're extremely versatile and can work for day with a blazer and belt or jazzed up for night with heels and statement jewelry. Because they don't require separate coordination, they'll do in a pinch when you're short on time. Just accessorize to accomplish the look you want - from casual to chic. Rompers are fun, flirty and a fashion favorite this season.

The Boyfriend Blazer

Hi everyone! I hope you ladies had a great Mother's Day! I'm finally done with law school - whoohoo! This week I have a break until graduation and bar prep classes start next week. I was going to give up blogging altogether until after the bar exam is done but I've missed you ladies dearly!

Today I want to talk about the boyfriend blazer an offset of the earlier trend of the boyfriend jeans - fundamental principal remains the same - it needs to be somewhat oversized and comfortable. What I love most about this trend is its versatility, it looks as good running day errands as it would look in office meetings or at night catching up with friends.

Not only that but it has the ability to convert a basic outfit into something more elegant and classy. Whatever the occasion, just roll up the sleeves for a cool and casual feminine look. This season with the multitudes of bright colors to choose from I recommend getting one in your favorite neon palette to brighten up any outfit!

Happy Friday!

Oh boy is it cold today, and snowing too! And here we thought spring was in the horizon. Luckily I didn’t put away my furry hat yet, on days like this I like to keep my head warm.   

Many of you have asked me where we are going on our vacation. We are heading South to visit family and to attend a wedding, so we are splitting our time between GA and FL. Can't wait to share packing tips as well as beautiful scenic photos with you ladies soon. We are all packed and ready to go, March 3rd can't come soon enough!

Spring Fever

Having Spring Fever in February is completely normal, especially when it has been such a warm winter. While I am stocking up on spring dresses, sandals and shorts in preparation for our upcoming trip to GA/FL, I am still wearing my colored jeans nonstop!

Still a big trend this year - colored jeans is a great way to get a little taste of spring even if it is technically winter. The rainbow of colors are spot on for spring and are oh so transitional!

Pair them with your favorite chunky sweater/fur embellishments and boots now. Then transition them into spring with tanks and sandals. This Spring they are also coming in a range of neon colors as well - so much fun!

Bright Bold Pants

Hi everyone!

One trend that I am currently loving this season is the bold, bright pants - they are fun and refreshing. Especially for a season that's normally known for its moody grays and blacks.

Colored pants can seem intimidating because most people just assume it won't go with anything, but that's not the case. If anything they are a great investment because they make such a statement that the rest of the outfit can be pretty simple.

 One way to wear colored pants subtly is to control the amount of color being exposed. Here I paired the hot pink pants with a long gray sweater. This balances out the color scheme as well as the silhouette of the outfit. Colored pants comes in many different styles so you'll surely find a hot hue that suits you. 

Tips on wearing colored pants:

1. Pick a Color - Choose a color that you like because most likely if you don't even like the color you won't wear it. Don't be afraid to be a rebel with a cause and choose whatever tickles your fancy.

2. Choose your style - Pick a style that works for you and that you feel comfortable wearing. Don't get all crazy with different cuts and design just because of the color.

3. Experiment, Experiment - Try it on with different items from your closet. Don't be afraid to pair your colorful pants with an equally bright top. But if you haven't worked up that kind of courage, then keep the top neutral. A crisp white button down also makes for an always-classic look.

Tangarine & Chambray

Bonjour à tous!

This tangerine skirt was the perfect pop of color to a gloomy day. And again I am wearing Hubby's chambray shirt - I should seriously think about getting one of my own!

 Although chambray appears similar to denim, it is actually a much lighter fabric and stems from Cambria in France back in the 16th century. As it is a less coarse fabric, it's a lot more versatile than denim and is more  comfortable and less abrasive. 

This faithful fabric has been used for years to make men's work shirts but has since than gone from rugged to refined. To give it a more feminine look, I paired it with this skirt to give it a dash of color and a clean-line silhouette to tone down the toughness of the shirt.

There is a sincerity and lasting quality about chambray that makes it so interesting. I love that it is not masculine or feminine which allows me to pair it with different textures and silhouettes without having any limitations. I've also noticed that it is a fabric that can be washed and will age and become softer in time which makes it such a keeper.

The Pea Coat

Hi everyone!  I hope you’re having a great week so far.

Originally designed for Navy soldiers, the style has been admired since the 19th century. The pea coat’s warmth and versatility has withstood the test of time. 

 Aside from the fact that this coat has a removable faux fur color, which I love, I also adore the simplicity of it. The lapels and flap pockets really gives it a streamlined shape so that you can remain classy and stylish without fear of being outdated. Pea coats come in a variety of cuts, colors, and prints, so give this trendy look a spin as soon as the weather permits!

Hello 2012!

Happy New Year everyone!

I’m pretty lucky. The weather in Boston has been so beautiful. So far, I’ve only had to bring out my Northface jacket a couple of times. Thank you for continuing to join in with me as I blog my way through 2012! And to start off the New Year - what better way than to color-block!

When I purchased this orange swing jacket and hot pink pants, I knew I wanted to wear them together. So when I got home, I immediately grabbed Hubby's chambray shirt to do a pairing. I really like how it turned out! For a look back at the colorblocking wheel and my research on how to pair colors together click HERE.

In terms of  resolutions for the new year I've only had one since 2008, which was to finish law school. Now that 2012 is here I am happy to say that this resolution will be completed in 4 months, finally!

 

Thank you for being on this journey with me! Wishing everyone endless happiness, success, and love in 2012 and beyond.

Nude Blouse & Pre-Thanksgiving Sale List

If there's one thing to focus on this season - it's all things sheer. A sheer blouse can be the key element for a perfect feminine and elegant ensemble. The important thing to keep in mind is to cover something, but not everything. Choose a suitable blazer, a fuller bra or a camisole to cover the over-exposed areas.

Nude illusion apparel is the sexy and mysterious twist to the trend of see-through lace or barely-there attire. The nude illusion exudes pure sexiness as it highlights all the features of your silhouette by giving the perception of baring skin. Try pairing a sheer blouse with a fitted blazer and business slacks for a work look or jeans and a fur vest for an everday casual look. 

This flowy feminine shirt is meant to give you a girl-appeal, but sometimes we just want to be a little tough. Here I paired it with my beloved leopard skirt with lace underlining and black clutch for an edgy and fun look. 

Nude is a tricky trend but can be very classy and sexy when done right. Always remember - when in doubt, coverage is key. Wear them tucked in with tailored trousers, skirts or shorts and ensure that your choice of undergarment is carefully selected as it is key to the success of your outfit. Give off the illusion of being "barely there" but remember to leave some mystery to what lies beneath.
