The new year is just around the corner and that means its time to dress up and dazzle for the new year! I’m loving the pops of bold colors during the dark and gloomy seasons and as always, I love me some glitz and sparkle. Rock a little feminine frilly cocktail piece byAlice + Olivia or Marc Jacobs. And be oh so sexy in a low-cut animal print mini by Imitation. Check out some of my top choices for party attire then go and grab your fave, cheers!

Stay Stylish Chicago,

Katie

My favorite accessory of the cold weather seasons, boots! Tory Burch has pairs and pairs of killer styles for the Fall andHunter has stepped up their fashion sense with uber cute choices. My favorite pair is the Marc by Marc Jacobs brown and burgundy corduroy boot. Choose which ones you like and go out and stock up on your faves!

Although most of us don’t want to think of  Summer coming to an end , it will in a short 2 months or so and we have to be fashionably prepared! I suggest slowly starting to buy your favorite Fall pieces little by little since the stores are already jam packed with cooler weather garb. One trend you need to work into your wardrobe is orange! Some might look at it as an ugly color, but if you think about it, no one actually looks bad in this hue (and no we aren’t talking about prisoner orange). You can however work this into your Summer attire as well with a blouse, shorts, or shoes. Here are a few of my favorite picks for this trend.

Stay Stylish,

The heat is here so it’s time to dress the part! Trending right now is a little vacation to the islands in the way you dress, Tropical is one of this season’s biggest trends and there are endless ways you can rock it. Of course the most obvious way is with a swimsuit, but try a fun and floral headband or a playful wrap dress with a pair of your favorite open-toed shoes. Here are a few of my favorite warm weather picks!

This trend and I have a love/hate relationship with one another. The navajo trend is colorful and Native American inspired with a little Bohemian mixed in there. The printed flats that are at stores this season are not my thing, BUT I have recently fallen in love with a brand called All Saints that I stumbled upon while shopping at Bloomingdale’s with my sister and niece this week….I want almost every piece! The intricate beading details and designs are to die for and so fun for when the warm sunny weather finally hits Chicago! Take a look and get a little obsessed along with me.

Yes, the Menswear trend is back in action and I love it! Blazers, vests, pinstripes, trousers, and maybe even a tie if your feeling on the fashion edge. In my opinion, one can never have too many blazers. One in each color would never get old and a nice crisp vest or boyfriend vest with a tank underneath is perfection. Take a look at a few of my chosen picks for the Spring season!

Flowers are back in action for Spring and they are on everything from shorts, shoes and maxi dresses and we love it! Wheter it’s a flirty feminine, romanitc, or boho style you need to get your hands on them all.

This Free People halter maxi is perfect by itslef or with a cropped leather/pleather jacket over it.

Looking to try something new? Try a maxi-skirt, but keep in mind your body type and height on this trend.

This Charlotte Ronson v-neck dress

and this dress by Patterson J.Kincaid is totally my style, I have to have them for myself!

MINKPINK makes this neon floral blazer that reminds me a little of the fabulous Winter Kate cardigans so I say this is a must, for an event, or a night out it’s perfection.

Spring Break is just around the corner so it’s time to buy swimsuits and sexy cover-ups. Try this Marc by Marc Jacobs ruffle option

and slip this Tibi dress when your done basking in the sun!
