Blush Crush

I get it.
Pastels for spring is hardly out of the ordinary. So when I saw blush start popping up in window displays this year I wasn't surprised. But what has surprised me is the fresh upgrade that the previously muted and boring color has gotten this year. Blush has expanded its range, from a dusty hue to bright and fun. From pairings with rose gold to upgraded silhouettes, blush no longer makes me think of Easter eggs and bridesmaids dresses.
My favorite pairing is blush and rose gold. And before you scoff at me and say they're they same color, I promise they aren't. Try a blush top with rose gold earrings or bracelet, like the Kate Spade on below. These colors are close enough on the color scale to compliment each other without being overpowering.

So let go of your vendetta against blush and try it on for size. I did and I'm already obsessed.

Fall Focus: Cobalt




I love fall. The cooler weather, football games, comfort food, changing leaves, and overall coziness of the season make me giddy. I mean I love summer, but give me a few weeks of it and I'm ready to pull out my riding boots and puffer vests. But even living in Florida, you just don't do that. People will stare if it's 75 degrees and I'm walking around in a plaid shirt/sweater combo. Trust me, its happened. Which brings me to one of the fall trend that I am so excited about: the color cobalt.

Call it cobalt, call it indigo, call it royal blue. Either way, it's gorgeous. And popping up in retail stores everywhere in every form. The best thing about this color is its versatility. It's light enough to pair with fall denim, but bright enough to infuse some life into a fall wardrobe, which in my case tends to consist of blacks, browns, navy, and burgundy. This color just pops, which is so fun with an otherwise heavy fall outfit. It's like, "BAM! I'm Cobalt, hear me roar!". Ok maybe not like that, but you get the picture. It stands out.

Check out my favorite cobalt finds of this season below. Happy Shopping!
