Citrus Blends

Posted Thursday, June 26th, 2008 in Fashion

Bright yellows, oranges, and greens are the hues to make any outfit pop this summer. Pair these colors with gold accessories or even with a little gold embellishment on the garment.

Hot yellows make their way out of spring and into summer holding their place as the “it” color for young women. Bright yellow looks great in any formal or casual top. A cropped, preferably bell shaped, summer jacket in a magnetic citrus hue can be a staple for this summer’s wardrobe. For a fresh look, choose yellow for an evening gown. Love orange in a short flirty cocktail dress.

I recommend a bright (not neon) green (I also describe the color to myself as “money” green) for a fun eccentric or vintage look. Preferably in a pencil skirt or a sleek fitted dress. The unpredictable hue speaks life and prosperity!

Men can get in on the citrus look too! Kanye in money-green jeans or were they scrubs? Whatever, these colored pants - original and chic. For the less adventurous, a bright fitted tee will do the trick.

Tips & Tricks: Add Zing with Bling!

Posted Wednesday, May 21st, 2008 in Home Design

Fabulous faux gilding is all the rage right now. Not only does the right glittery hue modernize your everyday traditional, but it also infuses any interior with zing. Whether it’s sconces, mirrors, candlesticks or even chairs–gold and metallic tints are hot this summer!

Whip out the gold spray paint and start spraying. Krylon has some really great products, I recommend their Metallic Shimmer Sprays. By adding a metallic touch to antique pieces you will transform these items and make them more in tune with today’s trends. When deciding what to revitalize, look for something with an unusual shape. A tree root table would look amazing after being treated with gold. Keep in mind that items with carved and ornate details will really pop when highlighted by metallic paint.
