Double Denim - An ode to American nostalgia

Did anyone catch the most recent episode of Glee on Tuesday? When I am able to watch the show, I do. I secretly love it, even though that may not be a secret any longer. In the last scene of the show, the group was singing  "One,". Both guys and girls were sporting spring's denim-on-denim trend and pulling it off flawlessly. Just a pair of jeans, a denim shirt, and white sneakers is all it takes. 

You will see celebrities rocking this trend and you can also. Check out Gap, Levi's or Ralph Lauren (just to name a few) and pick up a denim shirt of your own.

Splurge or Save

As we are embracing Spring 2010 looks and trends are coming in and out, I present you with the digital dress. Cat Deely wore this Matthew Williamson dress flawlessly at the Genlux Britweek Designer of the Year Fashion Awards in Los Angeles. However it also comes with a price tag that is sure to put a damper in your savings. If you are like me and always looking for a way to save, enter the dress to the right. This digital print dress is from Asos and has the same feel as Cat Deely's, bold and edgy, but with a great price of $37.20.

Love it!

All Things Fabulous...

As my fashion journey continues, I have realized it is time to start documenting all things fabulous that are all around me. In my first attempt, I have put together a collage of my most recent pieces of R.U.B.Y. 

If you notice a brindle puppy, her name is Ruby, and she isn't a puppy any more even though I like to think she is. I cannot say that she is the inspiration behind the pieces of jewelry I purchase, however she is glamorous in her own way.

Keep it classy!

It's confirmed...the Not So Typical Jewelry Party is going to be on Thursday, June 17th at 7 PM. There will be wine and some appetizers and really a great opportunity to see what is on the runways for Spring and Summer at great prices. If you are interested in attending, please email me at kaley_hedric@hotmail.com.

Glamour is contagious

I have to say the past month and a half has been a whirlwind. My fiance and I just bought a house so from closing to packing then moving...I have not been able to stop and take a breath. Now we are all moved in and getting comfy in our new digs and I can get back on track.

Since I have been absent, Spring fashion is in full bloom. Having an eye for anything and everything fashion, I wanted to share 5 easy ways to spruce up your Spring wardrobe. Some may be too bold for the liking, but you only live once...

1. Trench Coat:

Probably one of my favorite pieces. With its tailored silhouette and neutral color, this timeless wardrobe staple can be worn with nearly any outfit. Can't afford Michael Kors? Check out Old Navy's Trench Coat for $49.50.



2. Patterned Skirt:

A colorful print skirt can be matched with any variety of solid top. Consider wearing a floral skirt with a single-tone lace blouse for a soft and feminine look.



3. Floral Dress:

Nothing says lady like a floral dress! Check out this dress at Urban Outfitters for $58.00.



4. Soft Pants:

A pair of lightweight trousers are a cool and easy alternative to a skirt. I just bought a pair from Costa Blanca and Urban Behavior at HauteLook for $24.00.

Not sure how to wear it? Contrast the loose pants with a structured shirt. This will help balance the flow of the trouser.

5. Sequined Tank:

I am a full believer in accessorize, accessorize, accessorize. However not this time. Let the top do all the talking.

Day: A simple and sparkly top with your best dark denim jean.
Night: Pair a sparkly top with a short skirt.
