Iridescent

The iridescent or “oil slick” trend captures a rainbow of shimmering swirls.  This look was found on the Spring 2014 runways in leather, on clothing, jewelry, handbags, and shoes.  This trend can be a little overwhelming so you may want to start with an accessory.

Glowing Green Smoothie

After finding this smoothie recipe on Pinterest I did some more research on it and  have really grown to love it.  I have started having it for breakfast everyday for the past few weeks.  Not only does it taste good and is good for you but it also helps your skin glow (hence the name)!  Kimberly Snyder is a nutritionist to the stars and has been giving them this recipe for some time.  You can find more information on her website here.  I have been getting a lot of questions about it at work so I thought it was worth sharing!  There are more than 3 cups of leafy green vegetables in it which is normally hard for me to achieve on a normal day without the smoothie.  I usually make it twice a week (Sunday & Wednesday) because it makes enough for a few days.  It doesn't take that much time and then I have 16oz. each day. It is fast and easy to grab as I run out the door each morning.

Recipe: Glowing Green Smoothie

1 1/2 Cup Water
1 Head Romaine Lettuce, chopped
Large Handful of spinach
3 stalks celery
1 Apple
1 Pear
1 Banana
1/2 Fresh squeezed lemon juice (I cheat and use a store bought bottle)

**You can mix it up and use other fruits like blueberries or strawberries to change the flavors.

 

 

 

2014 Pantone Color of the Year: Radiant Orchid

 

 



It has finally been announced, Radiant Orchid is the color of the year for 2014!  Say goodbye to emerald and hello to this beautiful shade of pinkish purple! We saw this color walk down many runways for Spring 2014, but who knew this would be the next big thing?!  I think Radiant Orchid is a nice vivid color that will brighten up our year to come.  Below I will show you how to incorporate this color into your wardrobe or home so you can be right on trend next year.

 

 





 

Wear it as a solid top with a printed skirt or pant like seen at Missoni.



Add a pop of color to you jewelry with these Sara Magid cone earrings.


For a dressy night out you can wear a clutch like this one from Time's Arrow.



You can have 'Radiant Orchid' with you at all times with this Tory Burch cell phone cover.

 

If you aren't ready for a big investment or just want to try out the color, test it out on your nails!

Good and Green

I'm baaaaaack.....So a huge theme that I have seen these past few weeks is everyone wearing the color green.  This color brings out a fresh clean look that looks good on everyone.  Whether you just rock a scarf, a great emerald piece of jewelry or an entire outfit...wear your green with confidence!
