NYFW14 Trend: Is Blush the New Black?

Someday I hope to experience first hand the excitement, fun, and electric energy of New York Fashion Week!  It's definitely one of those things on my bucket list that I hope to do in the near future!  Until then, I can read all about the runway trends, famous celebrity attendees, and up and coming fashion designers that made a big splash at this year's event in September!

There were a few popular style trends on the runway that created quite a buzz!  The two I am most excited about is 1) jumpsuits and 2) soft pastel and neutral hues used abundantly in clothing, makeup, and accessories.  I adore soft pastels and neutral colors; combined with the perfect light and flowing texture, they create a delicate, natural, sophisticated, and ethereal style.  I also love the fact that our summer rompers are getting longer and jumpsuits are making a comeback!!

I created two similar monochromatic looks using blush pink as the primary palate.  I thought it would be fun to showcase a designer styled outfit and then create a similar look for less.  Can you tell which look is the designer vs. deal without peeking below?  One outfit costs a little over $300 and the other is a little over $3,000!  

What do you think of the soft pastel and light neutral color palate trend that made a big splash at #NYFW14?  I am certainly loving this look.  Is blush the new black?  

Enjoy shopping!

Flipping For Flamingos!

I may be going out on a "limb" here to say that "flamingos" are on trend.  My niece definitely thinks I am a little crazy but it seems that some designers are a bit tickled pink too! Today's "Trending on Thursday" topic is "Flipping for Flamingos".  This is the 2nd installment of my weekly blog series where we take a closer look at current style trends.

I recently purchased a Tory Burch tunic in a blue flamingo print and I instantly fell in love with the  whimsical pattern!  Flamingos have always reminded me of Florida - exuding a cool, confident, colorful Miami flair!  In my search for more, I stumbled across an abundance of summer inspired flamingo style and I have to say that I am a little infactuated.  Today I am sharing with you some of my favorite picks!

Let me know what you think.  Are you flipping for flamingo too?  

Have a fun day and don't forget to follow San Francisco Bay Style (social media links on website).  I would love to hear from you!
