LUST HAVE TREND : EMERALD CITY

My second colour trend -Emerald- falls conveiniantly on the day of green! St Pattys.
Whether this one sprung up as a spinoff from the "green" eco-chic trend, the popularity of Wicked or as a nod to the latest line of celebrities spotted endorsing the hue, its definitely a stand out colour this season. And by stand out I mean; you wear it - you stand out. Its bold and
eye-catching; a colour made to be seen.
Best teamed with, blues, tans and gold jewellery, keep to rich jewel tones and deep shades for a more flattering look. Avoid matching one emerald with another, if you want the head to toe look invest in a dress and accessorise with metallics.
What better day to give this trend a trial run!

FASHION TRENDS TO HOME HUES

Apparently like blue, time moves faster in green rooms! A calming and restful colour its why guests waiting for their 5 minutes of fame wait in a "green room". Its a colour that can signify renewal and nature and in your home you can be a little more flexible with the shades than fashion. Pick the tones that work best with what you already have and dont be afraid to experiment with something a little darker.

PHOTO OF THE DAY : CHRISTIAN DIOR FALL 2011

Im sure expectations were high for the latest showing from Dior; fast on the heels of the scandal surrounding dismissed designer Galliano. CEO Sidney Toledano, apparently opened the show with a speech trying to quell any doubts of the houses future and remind all of their upstanding values.
My pick for look of the day is for its fresh yet classic appeal and especially for that 'wonder-of-construction' coat... and my favourite touch of the show? was the final bow taken by the true crafts people behind the label....bravo!

RUNWAY TOP 6 : BANANA REPUBLIC F10RTW

My top 6 picks from Banana Republics Fall 2010 show. The retailer went heavy on the olive and military, and light on the theatrics this season; putting togther a group of super wearable outifits. All of which could be dissected by a novice and paired back with old wardrobe favourites with ease. Great accessories and styling, although I may be biased, as this cold weather lately has me craving anything cosy and warm looking!

Long sweater over a flirty-feminie skirt = on my fashion 'To-Do' list, plus Pom poms!

Who doesn't love a man in mittens! (also digging the undone boot look' very rocker)

Loving layered knits cinched with a skinny-belt & scarves wound around the neck and tucked away

HAPPY ST. PATRICKS DAY!

St. Patrick is the one of the most well known Irish Saints, he was around in about 400AD. Why the Shamrock? "Irish folklore tells that one of his teaching methods included using the shamrock to explain the Holy Trinity (the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit) to the Irish people. After nearly thirty years of teaching and spreading God's word he died on 17 March, 461 AD, and was buried at Downpatrick, so tradition says" (wikipedia). Did you know that originally the colour associated with St.Patrick was blue? Happy St Pattys!
