    Pretty in Pink 

    While I like to wear pops of color from time to time, most of my wardrobe staples are in neutral hues. Black, white, ivory…blush. And more blush. Since I am blonde, I tend to look washed out when I wear beige but I love how light neutral colors look and, so, I use pink like a neutral.  It is versatile, yet more feminine and flattering than beige. I wear it so often that I often vow to not buy any more pink items. Fortunately for me, pink is a key trend this season and there are a wide selection of beautiful styles this season. I have highlighted a few of my favorites below.

    Style Fashion Trendy Pink Top

    This breezy boho blouse by Rebecca Minkoff has a flattering v neckline, open shoulders and pretty crochet details.  It is lightweight enough to wear through summer and the silhouette is flirty and fun. I like wearing it with blue or white jeans or shorts. The Mother of Pearl mini tote is such a fun casual bag and is now on sale!  The top is available at www.nordstrom.com, and bag is available at www.shopbop.com.

    Style Fashion Trend Pink Pants

    There is no denying that I am a huge fan of Alexis…their pieces are effortlessly fashion forward.  The design details, unique fabrications and flattering silhouettes make them one of my favorite designers to wear. I also think that for the quality and design they are well priced. These soft pink pants are ultra glamorous and the top is an understated and luxurious wardrobe basic. Be sure to wear really high heels! Both the top and pant are available at www.revolve.com

    While I live in a tropical paradise, wearing this floral printed Yumi Kim maxi dress instantly makes me feel like I am on vacation.  The wrap styling creates a feminine and sexy vibe. This dress tends to run a bit large so consider ordering a size smaller than usual. Available at www.revolve.com 

    Hope you look Pretty in Pink this Spring! 

    Bisous,

    All That Glitters

    Long ago, I used to tell people to have a sparkling day.  It seemed more fun than a “great”, “good” or “nice” day.  I am not sure why or when I stopped wishing people a sparkling day but somewhere along the way, I stopped signing emails that way and sign off in a standard way. However, this spring, that is precisely what you will be doing from day to night…sparkling. Glitter is a major trend this season and not just in the traditional evening items…I have seen it in the fabric of leggings, dresses, sandals, water bottles, jewelry…it is EVERYWHERE. Think of glitter pieces like you would a print of pattern, use them sparingly…a touch here and there and never more than one piece in an ensemble.  

    I opted to style this glitter story in gold pieces for day wear but there are an abundance of sparkly items for evening….black, gunmetal and other fun colors but I feel the gold is the freshest version for this season.

    Glitter is also a key beauty trend this spring, in eyeshadows, lip gloss, nail polish and body dust.  Again, use sparingly, but there are pretty products that will make you shimmer and glow.

    Have a sparkling day!

    And We’re Back…

    After a 1.5 year hiatus…Style & Life returns. When I found out I was pregnant, I became overwhelmed with the idea of juggling family, career, blog and all other things.  As is usually the case, things are usually worse in your mind than anywhere else. After taking a few months to endlessly kiss baby cheeks, I got into routine and found the creative side of myself needing an outlet. And, so, here we are. When I think of Style & Life, I think of us as your go-to friend when you don’t know what to wear, the place where you hear a new beauty tip that adds a bit of pizzazz to your makeup routine or when you need a fresh recipe for a dinner party. That’s who we are. I hope you enjoy the new content and look forward to much more.

    Bisous,

    Rebecca
