fall 2011 trend to watch: the trouser

By on August 9, 2011 in Clothes, Fashion, Trends

With Fashion Week right around the corner (a month from yesterday!) and summer winding down, I’m already gearing up for Fall. I’m excited to bring layers back into my rotation, pick up some cozy and structured coats, build up the blue in my wardrobe, and…adding some structured trousers into my daily outfits (so these don’t get lonely). As much as I love mini skirts, flirty dresses and a large daily dose of jeans, I’m loving the look of bold colored slacks and wide legged trousers in classic colors. These will definitely be some go-tos for me this coming fall.

Here are just a few of my picks thus far…what do you think?

The other day I saw a woman near my office wearing cobalt and turquoise and it looked stunning. It was a different color combination than one may normally gravitate to for color blocking, but like other combinations that I love (like this and this), this combination is so loud, but tastefully chic at the same time.

Summer Trend to Try: The One Piece Swimsuit {guest post}

By on July 11, 2011 in Fashion, Style, Trends
one piece

Let me first say what a pleasure it is to be guest-blogging over here at WIT & Whimsy. Like a girl in a committed long-term relationship, I’m lovingly devoted to my own blog, but I couldn’t help but wonder what life might be like in the stylish pages of w&w.

Coincidentally, I feel the same way about swimsuits for this summer season. I am quite committed to my bikini. I love the tan lines and I love mixing and matching different suits. However, the one piece is having a serious moment this year, and I can’t help but take notice! In every pattern and style, from retro cuts to wild cut-outs, I’ve seen some seriously appealing suits. There’s something about the old Hollywood glamor and suggestive modesty of a well-fitted one piece that’s both chic and sexy. In fact, I recently gave in and purchased a little black number with a plunging neckline from Old Navy that makes me pine for a striped umbrella and some cat eye glasses on the beach of St. Tropez. No matter your how much you dare to bare when you’re lounging poolside or frolicking through ocean waves, I can assure you there’s a single-serving swimsuit out there just dying to steal you away from your trusty two piece.
