Rules are Meant to be Broken

Don't wear white after labor day, Match your shoes and purse, you can't mix prints....blah blah blah! Throw out what you THINK you know in terms of fashion rules. [Mixing && Matching ] is in and matchy matchy is out! After all rules are meant to be broken, right? Let's hit the pics...

The days of the verboten mix of gold and silver accessories are gone! Jewelers like David Yurman seamlessly incorporate gold and silver into their designs, and who doesn't love the classic Cartier Trinity ring with its combination of three different colors of gold? Start off by pairing gold and silver bangles or wearing a chunky stainless watch with gold details. Ready to get a bit bolder?  Wear hoop earrings that don't match your rings, or layer necklaces in different colors and textures.

Wearing head-to-toe black or brown can look harsh and evoke the formality of a stodgy uniform. Mixing black and brown adds an instant softness. One of the best ways to give visual interest to an otherwise monochromatic look is with accessories. Wear a brown pump with a black suit, a black bag with a brown coat, a chocolate belt with charcoal slacks. It's an unexpected twist that works for men and women alike.

I love mixing high and low! Wear a flirty dress and swap strappy sandals for Converse tennis shoes. OR pair casual cashmere with silk or sass up a basic black dress with brightly colored tights. It's a more playful way of going about your day and because it's so unexpected, it looks fun and sophisticated all at the same time.

With a new wave of denim in different weights, cuts and shades, you can mix and match to create a fresh look. Balance and contrast will help you avoid looking like you're drowning in a sea of denim. Pair a sleek denim pencil skirt with a denim jacket in a heavier weight or an inky tailored jacket with jeans in a lighter shade. Get creative and stay comfortable -- just remember the ultimate denim do: Vary the color and weight of fabric on top and bottom. Just please try to avoid this...

Wedgies

In the midst of a fabulous girls night we were discussing go to looks or signature pieces.  Jenni has her bangs, Evy with her little skirts && of course Rach in head to toe purple.  As for me, it was a unanimous decision that my signitch look involved some bitchin' kicks.  My latest fascination is with some [wedgies].  And THESE are on another level...

Quite A Statement

Bare necks out. If you aren't adorned in what have you jewels like shells, flowers, crystal or metals to your belly button then try again girlfriend. Exclamation point that outfit with none other then a fantabulous statement necklace. Everyone from the bitch of the City Olivia Palermo to our first lady are covering their pretty bare collar bones with necklaces from classic pearl and silver from Kenneth Jay Lane, to unique and fabulous Dannijo. Please forgive me for the unpleasant amount of photos to come, but common' ladies you can't deny.
