It's All About the Denim

We fell in love with denim a long time ago. It is one of those lasting materials, that really goes with everything, and looks good on everyone. We all wear denim, from the waist down, but this Fall we bring it back, from the waist up. 

Look forward to versatility in light, dark and multi-colored denim. Vests, Jackets and tops are just the beginning. I know what you are thinking - how do I wear it and keep a modern, chic touch to it. Maybe not everyone wants to look like the "Marlboro Man", right? Below is a handful of looks that will take you into the Fall season and beyond.

1) Wear a light-colored, or two-tone, denim button-up, with a dark pair of your favorite style of jeans. Add a pair of Rayban aviators and a fedora hat and you are set. 

2) Find a dark-rinse top and pair it with a light-colored, tea-length skirt. I prefer an a-line style skirt, but go with the fit that flatters your body the best. This look will take you into the Fall season and carry you over into the Spring season. Great look that is breezy chic. 

3) To dress up the denim, pair a fitted, hip-length blazer over a denim top (color of your choice). Keep the look slimming with a pair of skinny jeans. The blazer should be light in color with style that speaks to you personally. For my classic, taste, I would go with an ivory, black or color-it-wild with a kelly green (one of my top colors for my pallete). With this look, you easily go from dressy to casual with the blazer. There is nothing better than a versatile wardrobe. 

Zara is an impeccable brand. There pieces always subtely speak sophistication.

A Candystore Exploded on my Look

A Candy Store Exploded on my Look

We haven't seen a summer this tasty in awhile. With Mint and Coral, in the forefront, I feel like a candy store exploded every time I go shopping. The brunettes and blondes alike are sharing the popping colors of summer 2014. And let's not forget about redheads...these colors surprisingly also work for them. 

Shopping at the Silkwood lately, I noticed an entire rack of coral. That's right. Not one, not two, not even three shades of this infinitely fresh color, but an entire rack. I felt like I fell into the rainbow of all things coral. 

This was just the beginning of the ultimate color showcase. I went from rack to table, salivating over all things spot-on-color-trend. After devouring the entire store, as only a true stylist can, I walked out the door with a mint top by Binki Be. 

With it being mid-July, I am already anxious that there is not enough time left to truly showcase summer's candy store spectrum of colors. Of course, with boutiques like Silkwood offering such a wide selection, I am sure going to try!

Let's Shop Together soon!

Travel the World with your Wardrobe

If you have been hiding under a rock, where fashion is concerned, you may not be aware that world prints are where its at for Summer 2014.  This trend is also being referred to as tribal, but it's all the same. These looks are glowing with personality, and can be found almost everywhere this season.

Something about the glamorous colors and outrageous prints, of this tribal world trend,  draws my inner world-traveler out. Usually these looks drape The National Geographic and various other travel magazines, but today they are gracing the most stylish fashion covers and are completely everyday style. 

One place to find these pieces to create a divine, worldly look is at Silkwood boutique. Silkwood has pieces of tribal flair in spades. If you are looking for that unique piece to truly show off this style, Silkwood is the first place to look. There, you will find pieces that will elicit pure envy from all your fellow fashionistas. I, in particular, drool over the jewelry they are carrying right now. It not only speaks to the trend, but also represents local artisans. Not too shabby, my friends. 

Whether or not you have been hiding from it, or sporting this look everyday, wordly prints are completely where its at this Summer. And, if you aren't into getting all decked out in the latest trends, wearing a subtle piece of jewelry is sometimes all it takes. 

Come check out what Silkwood has...and as always, let's shop together soon!
