Elise Neal, Melanie Fiona, and Michelle Williams looking bold and bright!

 

As the post title suggests, a little color goes a long way and Elise Neal, Melanie Fiona, and Michelle Williams prove that as each of the ladies look absolutely stunning in these bold and bright hues. I don’t think people incorporate bold and bright colors in to their wardrobes enough. Whether you make a bold statement with bright skinny jeans, or if you want to add color in a more subtle way like with a necklace, either way your look will be taken up a notch.

Color blocking has been huge for the past few seasons. Although I don’t really consider it a trend, it is still going strong. Color blocking will be major in the fall as well so don’t be afraid to embrace it. It is known that wearing different colors will have an effect on your personality and mood. So to help brighten up your look and day I have selected a wide arrange of colorful items to incorporate in your wardrobe.

 

Peplum was a huge trend for spring and summer and it will continue to be huge in the fall. Peplum skirts, shirts, and dresses are very feminine and shows off a woman’s curves beautifully, without looking trashy. Peplum are sophisticated enough for work, conservative enough for church, and can be sexy enough for a date. It all depends on the style selected.

If you have a full hips, peplums may not be the best fit for your body type as it will draw attention to that specific area. If you have more of an athletic or boyish shape, then peplums are perfect for you. Because the top falls at the top of the hip, it gives the illusion of curves. Check these outfits with peplum pieces and shop peplum tops, skirts, and dresses below.

Rihanna was spotted out in Italy rockin’ a pineapple print play by Topshop.  She paired the playsuit with white platform sandals, an off white fringe purse, a chunky gold necklace, brown tinted sunnies and a brown leather visor.

Of course most of us wouldn’t style the playsuit this way but Rihanna’s eclectic choices worked out and I think she pulled this look off.  She looks absolutely adorable to me!

The Topshop playsuit features a pineapple print and a sweetheart neckline.

In case you didn’t know fruit print is in this season and has been seen in quite a few designer collections from Prada to Stella McCartney.

Unfortunately, Rihanna’s jumpsuit is sold out 🙁 but I’ve hunted down some fruit themed pieces so you can re-create this look and try out this fruity trend! 🙂

Will you be trying out the fruit print trend?  What do you think of Miss Rih Rih’s look???

Crop tops have returned and can be seen everywhere at the moment.  From runways, to celebrities to daily street style, crop tops have taken over!

In the past crop tops have gotten a bad rep for being a tad too revealing and “trashy”, however designers this season really put an elegant  and modern twist on the crop top and I am loving the femininity of them.  I also believe that styling is a major key on how to wear the crop top without giving off that “half naked” inappropriate look.

My favorite way to wear a crop top would definitely be with a high waisted skirt – sexy, with a little skin out but still ultra lady-like.

Of course, crop tops are still revealing so make sure you have that mid-section on point Ladies!

Check out some runway looks and some of your favorite celebs wearing crop tops. (as well as some of my favorite cropped tops!)
