Banker Stripes & Tribal Earrings
Banker stripes and tribal earrings are two major trends that rose to popularity in 2017 and show no sign of going away. They both have a distinct personality in their own right: the reworked stripe shirt is preppy yet undone, the tribal trend is fun and flirty and ready for a vacation. Separately they are great to wear but the REAL magic is when you pair them together. They are a perfect foil for each other. Two very different vibes that together make each other a better statement. The addition of a flirty earring to a striped shirt makes it less stuffy and the shirt conversely makes the earrings a…

Ok so polka dots are back… yup, the ones you wore as a small child that dominated that 80’s fashion seen. I am the type of person who will try a lot of trends purely for trend’s sake but this is one trend I really can’t stomach.

The Full Suit: Is Fall’s ‘Hottest Trend’ Actually Going to Catch On?
Fashion magazines and trend guides do this every season: they pick a ‘hot trend’ and declare it THE trend of the season even prior to the season actually getting here. This causes retailers to scramble to stock their shelves with this ‘IT’ item and fashionistas everywhere to try to hop on the bandwagon early, but does it always work? This season’s Hottest trend is the full suit which means matching jacket and pants worn together.

Embracing Your 80’s Alter Ego Using Modern Clothing
From the runways of Spring and Fall to the newest Netflix original series GLOW, the ’80’s obsession is alive and well and only getting more popular. Perhaps it is the playfulness or the expressiveness of the clothing that makes it so appealing, or the statement-making aspect that we love so much. An 80’s woman is unapologetic and is fighting for what is hers in life, a theme that seem to be coming full circle in this decade as well. Power shoulders, power suits, powerful women.
