A Tribe of Your Own!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

A Tribe Called Neck

What's hot in prints for this Spring/Summer is most definitely all things Tribal inspired! I was riding in to work this morning, pumping my Tribe Called Quest Midnight Marauders and thinking how awesome they were and how sad it was when they split. Well, tribes are meant to stay together and be strong, so how about starting one of your own...on your Neck, that is! Tribal Necklaces are the accessory you need to get your S/S wardrobe in high gear! I love the designs and affordability from House of Harlow and even Banana Republic has great pieces that represents all things tribal!! These pieces are meant to stand alone and be the center, so make sure you keep the ensemble simple and let the Tribal piece do All the talking!!!

Tee + Bling = TeeBling!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Burnt out tees, tissue tees, basic tees...V-neck, scoop neck, crew neck...So many variations all so easy to wear and so easy to dress up or down!!!! I'm a Cali girl, so tee shirts are my favorite staple and I have been noticing fashion has taken on a more laid back, Cali girl approach when it comes to basic items, such as the tee. To dress up a basic tee, try adding a little bling!!!! Big, bauble, bold, necklaces are the perfect way to add a little spice to that plain tee!!!! Jcrew has really embraced this new fashion trend and I'm a huge fan too!!!!! Check out these pairings for inspiration. But check places like American Apparel for all sorts of colors and styles of tees, at a fabulous price. For inexpensive, expensive looking blingage, look no further than Forever21 and Urban Outfitters, even the Gap and Banana have fabulous finds when it comes to neck candy and they are always having a sale!!!! Be on the look out for chain necklaces, they are all the rave for must have Fall accessories!!!!!

Buckle Up!!!!!

Wondering how to jazz up that plain dress...Belt it!!!!!!!!! The simplest accessory to wear is making a comeback this spring. Belts are not only functional, but funky and stylish too!!!! Mod, leather belts work for sprucing up your favorite trench or try a metallic skinny belt for a retro, 80's look, think Flashdance...Leggings and an oversized V-neck tee, with a metal, gold belt...Hot Tamale!!!!! Or, keep it simple with the prairie style...Woven, oversized, belt, with a frilly, feminine, frock! Whatever look you are going for, let your belt be the finishing touch!!! We all know how important it is to "Buckle Up..." It's the Law!!! So, go ahead and get you a belt!!!!

Six more weeks of winter, according to dear ole Mr. Groundhog! Well, Spring cometh and why not bring it in a little sooner. How? Add a pop of Yellow to your blossoming wardrobe!!!!! With multiple shades to choose from, ranging from neon to marigold, to golden rays of sun. Whatever your preference, there is sure to be a shade just for you! Yellow is one of the best colors for the upcoming Spring fashion season. It's perfect for a resort getaway or a spring graduation. And it is a great transition color too!!! Pair bright, bold, beautiful yellows with navy, purples, and browns to finish out the winter! Then add it to whites, tans, and other bright hues for spring, right into summer!!! You can't go wrong! It is one of my favorite shades and always brings a smile to a dreary, winter's day!!!! Here are some looks Im loving! And remember, you can always layer your looks until the weather "mellows-out" a bit!!! Check out what I found!

Get Waisted!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

New Year...New You!!!! That's usually the motto when starting the New Year. This year no resolutions, but just continuous improvement and improvement starts in the closet!!!! Want to liven up that old dress???? Well, Belt It!!!! Belts are one of the best accessories right now!!! You can just about put a belt over anything. A sweater, a dress, a tunic, a coat! However you like it! And what a great way to create the illusion of a waist, which for most women is the most flattering part of their body! I'm loving the skinny, patent , retro styles by designer Karen Zambos, who has a belt line "Elegantly Waisted"!! Her belts are a wee bit pricey, but oh so hot!!!! You can find them on sale now at shopbop.com or check out her website http://www.karenzambos.com/ Still need some help on just how to rock that wide belt with your favorite sweater dress??? Check out the February issue of InStyle(w/ Halle Berry glowing on the cover) or a fab new fashion site that I recently discovered http://www.whowhatweardaily.com/ for some cute, easy, belting ideas!!!! Here is a little more inspiration for you! The styles featured can be found at shopbop, anthropologie, banana republic, and urban outfitters! Do your waist and wardrobe a favor...Get a Belt!!!!!!!!
