And the thanks goes to...? Oh, and life updates too!

Hello my lovely fashion people of the world. It's Sunday. A lazy Sunday, at least for me. Anyway, I just wanted to tell you guys about this up-coming week and somethings that I'm looking forward to. Okay, so as a college student who's trying to balance between studying and meetings, blogging, a social life, my sanity, and remembering to eat and sleep, you can imagine that things can get pretty cray-cray. This pass Friday, I had a french test. You know, typical test. Nothing too major. Except, oh right, that I don't know french. That can make things a little difficult. Anyway, I'm rambling. Back to this week. So first off, let me just say to the small amount of people that check out my blog, THANK YOU! So so much. I've instilled it within myself to become as big as Bryan Boy or The Blonde Salad or The Sartorialist or Song of Style or...well, you get the point (check them out, btw). Their all major bloggers, doing what they love and that what I aspire to be one day. Sitting at fashion shows and snapping pictures of amazing styles from around the world, sharing my experiences with you every step of the way would make life that much better. And of course, I do want to be a well known fashion stylist and fashion editor too. So thanks go out to you guys for taking just a moment out of your day to see what I have to say. Now, this week. Bypassing my sociology midterm on Tuesday *yikes*, I'm meeting with a personal stylist/image consultant to discuss a place for me in her business. Excited much? Umm yaa! I sent her an email at like 3am asking if she had any possible intern position, but I had no idea that she was going to actually come to my school, to sit and chat about me and what I want to do *tear* Also, I'm going to see if I can start doing more style post just to showcase my style and what not. Anyway, I hope you guys have an awesome Sunday and rest of the week. I've got a ton of french to do so I'm going to end this now. Again, thank you all who follow my blog! You don't know how happy it makes me! Until next time, stay fashionable! Xx

Marc Jacobs.:.NYFW

Omg. OMG! Yes, it's very important that I start by using these three, little letters. So going back to last night, I was blown away. The collection consisted of satin and silk, colors and patterns, and there was a London-Paris-Anastasia-esque feel to it. Aesthetically, the collection was beautiful. I loved the colors. They flowed well together and the looks were just everything. Now, let's talk about hair and makeup. O.M.G. The hair was big and over the top and I loved it. I was dramatic but in a way that worked well for the clothes and the makeup added to the London/Paris/Anastasia-esque feel. And I must say that the collection was very sexy and had a glam factor to it also. So, once again, Marc delivers. Stay fabulous! So, until next time, stay fashionable. Xx

Let's Talk Color Blocking

Hi guys! So today, I wanted to talk about color blocking and color theory. With the Spring and Summer months coming up, I thought it would nice to give some advice on how to maximize the colors in your wardrobe while staying on trend.

Okay, let's talking color theory. I want to focus on the three main color themes: complementary, analogous, and triadic. So, first up is complementary.

Complementary colors are located opposite each other on the color wheel. They are in different color families and create very high contrast. For example, red and green. We've all seen this pattern during the Christmas holiday. Now, if you're wondering what colors complement each other, think about standout pairings. What colors, when put together, no longer stand alone. Orange and blue is another example of a high contrasting pair. This can get tricky. If you're just starting out, trying to minimize the complementary color usage. Try wearing some colored pants with a neutral shirt and pair it with a nice scarf that complements the pants. Or, if you carry a bag, try to complement the bag with your shirt. 

Now, onto Analogous colors. These are usually found in nature and are housed in the same color family. They are located next to each other on the color wheel and create a very comforting and serene look. When using these colors together, try using one color as the dominate piece and the other two as complements. For example, a pair of red pants with a nice violet and orange scarf. Or you could have a violet pant with red shoes and an orange scarf. Here, the pants become the dominant color with the red shoes and the orange scarf as complements. 

Lastly, the triadic colors. These are evenly spaced about the color wheel. These colors tend to work harmoniously together, whether pale or unsaturated. Make sure there is a nice balance between your pieces. For example, green, purple, and orange. These colors work very well together and can create a balanced looked. Make sure you highlight your strong points. If one color flatters your more, then use that color for the statement piece and allow it to tie in the other two colors. 

So, I hope this helped! Leave comments to let me know what you thought and ideas that you guys have for the Spring and Summer. And remember, have fun with your wardrobe. One thing that I do believe is that fashion is suppose to be fun and exciting! If you're not considered to be "on trend", that's okay. As long as you feel confident, that's all that matters. So until next time! Stay Fashionable. Xx
