How to Avoid "Crayon" Syndrome

What is "Crayon" Syndrome?

Crayon Syndrome is a term that we devised when we match our outfit to our bag, to our nail polish, to our at shoes.

Take out the 64 box of crayons- and your entire outfit looks like the magenta crayon. If you haven't done it, I am certain that you saw someone commit this fashion blunder.

So, what do you do when you have a gorgeous emerald green dress?

Use complementary colors- emerald green outfit- pair it with citrine or canary yellow diamond accessories, then use a Bright Yellow on your nails and toes, with a basic black evening bag and shoes.

If you have a deep rich purple outfit then pair it with light blue accessories-blue topaz, we love Rhapsody Blue nail polish by Essie, and gray shoes and bag.

I think you got the message by now!

Cheers to the end of crayon syndrome!

Top 5ive Online Sites

 I am all for online shopping, click, click... Today, I am choosing the Top Five sites for online shopping all for very different reasons. 1. Gilt.com  Everyone has heard of them by now, the reason why they snag the top spot is for "Gilt City" offers, Gilt Taste Gilt Home, and of course Gilt Women offerings. "Gilt City" offerings are truly one of kind experiences, and the deals that I have gotten in on, were well worth the money. One deal was a Book Party for Peggy Post at Michael C. Fina, not only did participants get the New Book on Etiquette by Peggy Post, participants where given a 15% discount at Michael C. Fina and the experience of a book party with Peggy Post. "Gilt Taste"  I planned my entire gratitude party using the majority of findings on Gilt Taste, the pricing, shipping charges, and scheduled date of delivery were all fair and accurate. "Gilt Home" offerings I used for my party favors with their candle blowout sales and c...

Waterford or Lenox Anyone??

Hope everyone has recovered from budgeting 101, yesterday. Today, we enter the fine world of crystal and china. You know the stuff that your girlfriend puts on her bridal registry, gets it, but serves you on paper plates. Anyway, one day I was scouring around the Internet to price some crystal flutes. I came across a great, great deal! In the world of crystal and china- Bacarat- the most famous and expensive, waterford.com , and  lenox.com The price points can run from 5,000.00 to a basic Bacarat vase to 150.00 for a leaded crystal flute from waterford.com . In terms of china, my sister's  lenox.com full service china set that I have yet to eat off, which was 10 plus years ago, cost about a month's rent. Anyway, back to the deal-- I was on the  waterford.com site which was absolutely breathtaking, then I noticed the discontinued section, click, click-- 4  waterford.com flutes for only $35.00. What?? I then asked someone else to read the price and descri...

What's On Trend for Spring

This Spring we are seeing a lot of floral, denim, and military styles. You may ask so how do I wear these trends without looking like everyone else. Floral Look: If you are wearing a single floral skirt then go solid with the top, or if you are wearing a completely embellished floral dress leave it alone and just wear it as is, great options on the lower end are from forever21.com , mid range options are at newyorkandcompany.com , and luxury items we recommend aliceandolivia.com The Denim: We see the high rise or Mom jeans are back in style, the deconstructed oversized chambray colored denim shirts that you can wear day or evening. Also, we are seeing constructed denim dresses, that are body con, or scoop neck that if worn with pearls can pass for a great formal first date. The stores that have these looks are hm.com  for the lower price point, mid range price is macys.com  and luxury is saks.com . They have all of the denim needs in the styles we discussed previou...
