Friday Frocks: Pretty in Pastel

pastel tea partyPastels and spring just seem to go together (kind of like champagne and orange juice) and seeing as this weekend we are breaking fifty degrees in Manhattan, it finally feels like spring has arrived.  Whether you’re putting on your Easter bonnet or celebrating Passover, a pastel frock is right on trend for this season.  Muted mint, dusty pink, or light lavender are flattering shades for even the most sun deprived skin.  So, grab your mimosa and settle down for Sunday brunch in something pretty and pastel.

Shall we go ahead and acknowledge the upcoming calendar holiday (ahem, Valentine’s Day)?  Knowing you pretty (and smart) ladies, you’ve probably already got a handful (or more) of handsome suitors just willing you to be their Valentines.  As a matter of fact, they’re probably doodling your name as we speak.  Whether or not you oblige one of these lucky gentlemen on their offer or opt to hit the town with your favorite gal pals instead, it’s never too early to start planning your outfit.  Stick to traditional red, a splash of fuchsia, or spice things up with a playful pattern.  These frocks are sure to get all kinds of hearts aflutter.

Why Did You Wear That: You’re Such a Stud

Joan+Jett+KgCdmh32799602

At times I feel like I may have been a rocker in my past life. I like wild hair, smudgey eyeliner, loud music, and leather. But alas, my goldilocks looks prevent me from looking very edgey so I have to work against my all-American appearance by incorporating some tougher pieces into my wardrobe.  Since the majority of my time is, unfortunately, not spent scissor kicking on stage and smashing guitars, I have to do “rocker chic” in small doses. This means picking one or two pieces at a time and working them into my outfit to kick it up a notch. One of the easiest ways to do so, is adding something studded. Below are some suggestions of items that could be added to anyone’s closet to take you from Joan Collins to Joan Jett.

Remember to just do one or two studded pieces at a time to avoid looking like an over bedazzled Ed Hardy campaign.

Rock on.
