Is BIG The New Black...

Every year there's an IT color in the wonderful world of fashion. I've heard about so many IT colors for this season, I'm over it. I made an executive decision for myself (because I'm the BOSS) that I'd wear whatever the hell color I want this season, despite the fact it may or may not be the IT color of the season. After all, what fun is it to run around looking like everyone else?! So if y'all see me around and I have on what you think may be outdated colors don't say anything...I'm not trying to hear it...LOL! I kid, I kid, but seriously y'all...I'm doing me...

So lovies, since it seems as though we can't decide on a color for the season let's talk accessories. Do you lovies think it's safe to say BIG accessories are the new black? All over the runways BIG accessories have been spotted EVERYWHERE! From Karl Lagerfeld's hula hoop inspired Chanel bag to BIG watches BIG necklaces; BIG is everywhere and guess what?! I LOVE IT!

Check out some of the hottest BIG accessory trends on the scene!

Enjoy lovies and see ya at the TOP!

 Hello Lovies!

Polka dots are BACK and they're BACK with a VENGEANCE and begging for you to wear them!
Before I get into how you should wear your polka dot printed threads let me give you a little history on the fashion staple.

Picture this, it was Italy...(just kidding, I was having a Golden Girls Moment) Seriously the name, POLKA DOTS, originated from the twirly, whirly movements of the 1800's dance craze, the Polka. Because the Polka was such a hit across the U.S. major manufacturers cashed in on the fad and started manufacturing any and everything and attaching the name 'polka' to it. While there were many items with the word 'polka' attached to it (i.e. polka-hats and polka jackets) most disappeared with the fad of the actual polka dance and ONLY the polka dot fabric remained popular then and now.

Style Fact:  Some people associate polka dots with Venezuelan fashion designer Carolina Herrera, who used polka dots on most of her dresses during the late 80s and early 90s, as well as on the boxes of perfume Carolina Herrera, Herrera For Men, Aquaflore and Flore.

So like I mentioned before, polka dots are back and BEGGING you to rock them out. Not sure how to wear polka dots? Don't fret...I'm here to help and so are some of my designer friends in my head. Marc Jacobs and Lanvin have brought this retro look back with chic frocks and other amazingly beautiful pieces.

Can't afford Lanvin or Jacob's polka dot looks? Don't be ashamed, there are some economically friendly and equally as chic pieces available out there for us FRUGALISTAS! :)

Looking for ways to rock the dot? Try some of these tips below.

• Pair your polka dots with stripes
• Pair your polka dots with florals
• Pair your polka dots with solids
• Pair your polka dots jeans, a fun skirt or even leggings
• Grab some polka dot socks
• Polka dot clutch, shoes...whatever you like

There really isn't a right or wrong way to rock out polka dots...all that I ask is you have a great time expressing yourself in this retro trend!

Good luck, Lovies! See ya at the TOP!

Ciao!
xoxo
