Non-Stop Color!







I have always loved color.

In fact, I barely own anything black in my wardrobe.

Fashionistas have been talking about it. It's in every fashion magazine. Every designer from Gucci to Diane von Furstenberg has a version of it.
Even New York, the city who loves black to the fullest capacity, has embraced the color blocking trend. It's hitting hard. For a color junkie like myself, it brings a smile to my face. What is color blocking? Well, it is the mixing of bold and bright colors that support and compliment each other. Imagine a teal blouse with a cobalt blue skinny pant and steamy hot pink open toe pump - all paired together. Envision a yellow silk scarf with red tank and navy pant with white ballerina flat as a complete ensemble.

Color blocking is placing of the hues of the rainbow on the body by using clothing, shoes, accessories, make-up and even nail designs. This is a bold fashion statement. To color block successfully, I suggest mixing complimentary colors like purple and yellow, blue and orange, red and green. (Check out the color wheel.) Most importantly, be fearless in this trend. Its all about combining color in a saucy way!
