Is Blue for You?

Would you wear this??

I was reading in my gossip mags these past few weeks and noticed a theme. All discussed the new trend in nail polish which is blue. I don't know if I would ever be daring enough to wear blue nail polish on either my nails or my toes. All I could think about was trying to take it off and having your nails have a blue hue to them. This is not a trend that screams "Try Me" in my eyes. I tend to lean more to shades of pinks and neutrels. I did embrace the dark purple and black trend in recent years. Something about painting your nails blue really just stumps me. Celebrities such as Jessica Simpson and Jessica Alba have been spotted wearing this new hue from the red carpet to taking a stroll. Katy Perry and Ke$ha have been spotten in this new hue on the stage, which in my opinion is a more fitting place for this trend. What do you think? Could you pull off the new trend in nail polish?

Dressing for the Holidays

As soon as Halloween has passed the Holiday madness starts! The biggest Holiday question...what will you be wearing??? I like to plan cute tops for each of the holidays.

I go for something in a warm, rich color to give thanks. This ruffled lace top is super cute, and should get as many compliments as my cranberry pie!
For Christmas I like to be cozy and conservative. I know that it is a little cheesy, but I like to wear red or green to keep with the season...so I am thinking of this kimono sleeve sweater.Finally, you've gotta have some sparkle and shine for New Year's Eve! This gold top should help me rock into the new year!I have all of my fav Holiday fashions saved on my wish list at metrostyle.com, in case you want to get me an early Christmas present ; )

Trend alert- colorful sunglasses!

In case you haven't noticed, bright frames are one of the hottest trends this season! You may be afraid to pick up a pair of purple or hot pink shades next time you are at the mall but not to worry, you will be seeing them on everyone this summer! Here are a couple tips when picking the right colored shades for you:

1. If your skin has yellow undertones, orange and navy are best. Cool and olive skintones should wear blue, pink, and purple.

2. Blondes can pull off softer colors, while brunettes should go for bolder colors. People with black hair are able to wear any color and redheads should aviod colors that clash.

Good luck!

Green is the New Thing!

Today is St. Patrick's Day! The day when we wear green, drink green beer, and celebrate!

Though I'm not Irish, I usually always wear green, go on a scavenger hunt for lucky clovers, and just watch people devour green beer (since I'm too young to drink). Everybody seems so joyous and happy on this particular day, so the kinful spirit rubs off on me!

Since I always think of fashion, I made an observation today. Green is the color we wear on this day, though it's not the best color choice for many, it's finally debuting as a popular trend. The "Go Green" fashion has definitely come into play, and not just all the organic pieces, but the green color choices as well. It's now a style, and it comes in many shades perfect for the spring season. We have emerald green, forest green, bold lime green, so many greens! This style is everywhere. So go green!

Old Friends

When I think about old friends I remember childhood friends, the boy who visited his grandparents next door that I had a wicked crush on, my great friends from the drama club in high school, my college buddies and my favorite t-shirt. That's right, my favorite lime green t-shirt! It isn't even really all that old, only about a year.

My t-shirt and my old friends make me feel comfortable, they allow me to show the real me. No hiding behind formalities. They are both always there for me. Eventually though, my t-shirt will wear out, just like old friends which may come and go, but with everything in life the good ones always last, whether it's just in your heart or stored in a box for safe keeping.

Whatever it is you love, wear it whenever you can. Surround yourself with only those clothes you love and that make you feel wonderful. There should be no doubts in your closet! That goes for friends, too. Let yourself be loved and share your love with your old friends.

Today I am not wearing my favorite shirt. I'm wearing red. I'm participating in Go Red For Women Day part of the American Heart Association along with millions of women, men, children and pets across the country.
