The men’s color trends for Spring 2012 are taking a bright and playful approach with yellow and orange continuing to make statements. Brave, bold colors like Tangerine Tango and Solar Power are the perfect confidence boosters. Who says color is just for your wardrobe? Apply it to the must have gadgets every man needs and wants.
Valentine’s Day is just around the corner so get him something he’ll love that’s on trend.

Bright blue is going to be a hot color trend for Spring 2012. Acne, DKNY and J. Crew were just some of the fashion houses showing this fun color on their runways. As winter is still holding strong for many, it seems that daydreaming of Spring is an act of survival. But who says you have to wait till the weather warms up to start playing with all of the fun Spring Trends? Not me, that’s for sure.
A chic tote for the workplace is always a wise investment. A fun bright blue will add that extra pop to make you almost forget the dullness of winter! Have fun playing with your colors.

It shouldn’t be a big surprise that I have a weakness for shoes. As I have mentioned before, my shoes could write a book with all we have been through! The good, the crazy and the fabulous…never a dull moment! I have a pair of black peep-toe Jimmy Choos that have such fond memories for me. I wore them to ring in my 30th birthday in Sydney, Australia.
Enjoying Syndey, Australia
I remember when I found the Choos in Hong Kong, they were a must have from the moment I saw them. My husband and I had been traveling for the previous six months throughout Africa, Bali and all over Southeast Asia. Needless to say, my wardrobe consisted of linen capris, tank tops and flip flops. By the time we arrived in Hong Kong I was ready to dress up, eat at amazing restaurants, ditch my casual wardrobe and well a bit of luxury. Knowing I would be celebrating my 30th birthday a few months later made shopping even that much more fun!
My Birthday Jimmy Choos
I had the most amazing 10-day birthday extravaganza in Sydney. We shopped, ate, walked around and just had an incredible time. If you have never been to Sydney, put it on your must travel to list.
My two birthday cakes, one from the Four Seasons upon check-in and one from my darling husband on my birthday
On my actual birthday we woke up and headed to Bondi beach for the day. Then we headed back to the hotel to change for our evening ahead. Dinner was beyond delicious and the icing on the cake were amazing seats at the Opera House. I felt incredible in my new Dolce & Gabbana dress and my Jimmy Choos. To say I had an amazing 30th is an understatement. It’s a fond memory and truly one of those red letter days.

My Choos were the perfect companion as I celebrated my 30th. Every time I wear them, they bring a smile to my face.
Happy Friday loves…have a fabulous weekend.

It comes to that point in Winter when you are tired of the cold, wet and gloomy days. Yet Spring and all of the brightness associated with it somehow seems so far away. There is no better way to channel Spring than to bring some fun colors into your everyday environment. I know, you thought I was going to say wardrobe…but adding color to your surroundings can add that extra pep you are looking for while also creating a chic and luxurious working environment.
Today, it’s all about making your office or cubicle a happy place to work. I know for myself, if I am happy in my surroundings I get so much more work done. And what better time to have a fresh start than a new year?
Curious to see my work environment, check out my previous post I did on my office.
Happy Wednesday.

With the holidays and lil’ one out of school this week, I seriously have no idea what day it is. I kept thinking today was Tuesday only to find out I am a day behind! So needless to say Workplace Wednesday didn’t happen as planned this week, but I wanted to still share the post. For this outfit, I wanted to showcase a high-fashion look that can go from the office to a fabulous party. What better week to highlight this look than this one? New Year’s Eve is the ultimate fabulous party, whether you are hosting an intimate dinner party for close friends at home or attending an exclusive VIP event. There is something about this evening that makes me want to dress up and look amazing while ringing in the new year.
The base of this outfit is a beautiful strapless lace dress. We saw so many designers using lace for winter, and I am still loving the trend. By adding a classic tailored blazer, black pumps and a neutral handbag you have a feminine and chic look. I can hear some of you screaming, “Who wants conservative on NYE?” By adding a short fur jacket, statement jewelry and some open toe pumps you will be ready to ring in the new year in true luxury and style!
Have fun figuring out what outfit you will be wearing this New Year’s Eve.
Make sure to comment here or post a photo of your NYE outfit to my Facebook page and I will highlight my favorite looks next week.
Happy New Years!

Nothing quite says holiday time than a winter tartan plaid. There is just something about this print that completes a winter wardrobe as far as I’m concerned. Wearing plaid to the office seems like a no brainer, but to a holiday party? Of course. By changing up the accessories you’ll be ready for any after-work holiday festivities this season. Happy Wednesday!

With the holidays around the corner life always seems to get a busier. Besides living your normal life, there are gifts to be wrapped and holiday parties to attend. Dressing for work can be hard enough, and then you add all of the holiday parties into the mix. There’s no need to get overwhelmed, save your energy for all of the last minute shopping you still need to get around to!
There is nothing I love more than winter whites. It’s a perfect choice as it’s classic chic for work and with just a few accessory changes it’s party ready. I love adding a bit of sparkle to a work look. It’s a bit of unexpectedness that adds a perfect accent when done properly. Add a bold color-blocked handbag and you are ready to tackle any work project that comes your way. Come 5 o’clock and it is time to shine at the company holiday party. A fabulous glitter clutch and statement ring is just what is needed. Pair with a shearling vest and you’ll be guaranteed to have all eyes on you! Happy Wednesday.

This past weekend I was invited to Macy’s to meet hair guru Jonathan Antin. He was in town showcasing his new hair styling line from Conair and his favorite holiday hair trends for the upcoming season. Everything you need to create beautiful hair is in Jonathan’s new Conair styling line. My personal favorite is the clipless curler. I can’t wait to give it a try. I’ll make sure to post photos when I do. (For more photos from the event, make sure to visit my Facebook page)
It was great being able to chat with Jonathan for a bit after his presentation and find out what is happening in his life. In addition to this latest collaboration with Conair, Antin is creating a new product line and opening two new salons in Southern California. He also has a new show that will air next year and in his own words: “It’s Blow Out meets Dr. Phil.”
Wondering what his favorite holiday hair trend is this year? He is loving glamourous, Veronica Lake inspired hair with loose waves. Looks like I’ll have to give this trend a shot. I am feeling inspired for my holiday hair this year. It was a fun day of beauty starting with much a needed mani/pedi and then to Macy’s to meet Jonathan. Time to get styling!
