Orange is the New Black…Blazer

Orange is the New Black Blazer

When you think fall, normally the first color that comes to mind is black. Get black out of your head and start thinking, Orange is the New Black! Black blazers have been in style for a while now and yours is probably worn out from wearing it too much. Instead of choosing a black blazer, opt for an orange blazer instead. As you can see, orange works with several colors including navy, white, and yellow. I would also suggest pairing it with khaki, slate gray, jeans, almost any blue, and camo print. Camo print is huge for fall, and you will be a trendista in camo jeans and an orange blazer. I recently wore a fall transition outfit comprised of an orange halter turtleneck dress with a camo bag. It was complimented to the hilt.

Macy’s Five Fall Fashion Essentials #MacysFF13

Macy’s Five Fall Fashion Essentials #MacysFF13

I am a member of Everywhere Society and they provided compensation for this post. As always, all opinions are my own.

Macy’s presents Fall’s Five Essentials-key pieces that say fall 2013! Annie aka The Fashion Poet showed the audience 5 fall essentials that will update your wardrobe for fall. It was a great day as I got to hang out with my friend, Jen aka The Rebel Chick. She’s awesome, but I rarely get to see her in person. So glad we got to watch the show together! 🙂 I got my hair done after the show from the mini Blo Bar set up by Macy’s. Check out the difference in hair below.

Treat Yourself During Spa Week: Anushka Salon & Spa

Anushka Salon & Spa is the first spa that I have visited in a while that impressed the pants off me. Founder of Anushka Salon & Spa, Anushka believes in personal service, and it is obvious in speaking with her and everyone that works for her. Anushka listened to my concerns and gave me a game plan to deal with my struggle with being a new mom and a fashion blogger that needs to look good for photo shoots like the one I am doing for Fashion for a Cause and Bloomingdale’s this week.

MANIcure MonDAY: Burberry Runway Inspired Nails

Burberry’s Fall 2013 runway was one of my favorite runways this year. The heart print tops, dress, bags, and shoes make me want to wear heart print all the time. I have not found any heart print outfits that work on me yet, but I am definitely on the hunt. I put a collage together for you below that shows some of the heart print items that are available in stores. As I try them on, I will let you know how they look and also show you pictures. If you find any cool heart print items, please let me know. In the meantime, try these Burberry Runway Inspired Nails.

Spicy Fall Color: Paprika

Fall Outfit of the Day with Camo and Fall Color Paprika styled by April Erhard, Editor in Chief of April Golightly

After reading InStyle’s Color Crash Course in the October 2013 issue, I was dying to put together paprika outfits. InStyle’s editor pointed out that orange is an attention getting color. You should expect to be noticed in paprika. When everyone is wearing neutrals and black this fall, stand out with a spice of paprika. I found this Michael Kors dress at Encore Plus in Boca Raton, Florida. Encore Plus was nice enough to let me borrow it to wear to Tastemakers this week. The paprika and camo combination was a big hit at Tastemakers. This Michael Kors dress is perfect for fall in Florida and fall transition outfits. Hit up Encore Plus to see if it is still available. I just dropped it off today so it might still be there!
