Trend Alert: Dark Reds and Oxblood

Deep reds and the latest color trend, oxblood, are this fall and winter. Deep reds and oxblood add a dark and dramatic pop of color to your look, but the colors can also be used as a neutral in your wardrobe. The colors represent the new color scheme of the season and allow you to step outside of the black, brown, and grey color rotation. Keep on reading to find out how to incorporate the colors in your everyday look.

Prince William and Kate Middleton

Kate Middleton always gets it right when it comes to style! Kate is wearing an oxblood colored 2 piece. The color works for sophisticated and classy looks, plus it still looks nice when paired with black tights to keep your legs warm.

Irina Shayk

These oxblood colored leather pants are so chic and super slimming. Since the pants are in a leather style it already screams edge and the color helps to give it extra style cred compared to regular black leather pants. Also, I absolutely love that the color works perfectly with simple colors such as black and grey so that you don't have to think too much about what top to pair the pants with.

Fergie

I am usually totally against wearing an outfit all in one color, but Fergie looks amazing in this all red look. The dark red leather pants fit her perfectly and her grey studded booties make a great contrast colors while adding height. The shirt works because of its change in texture and the help of the patterned throw over. All together this look is an A+ in my books. 

Trend Alert: Working With Leather

Leather has always been in, but it is steadily being incorporated into everyone's wardrobe. Leather is great for keeping you warm while still adding edge and texture to your look. I love wearing my leather pants especially since they go with so many different pieces in my wardrobe. Another plus is that just like jeans, leather pants come in multiple colors such as a red pair that I'll be featuring in an OOTD post very soon. Below I showcased Fergie, Miranda Cosgrove, and Jessica Alba all wearing leather within their outfits and styles. Keep on reading to learn how to add leather into your look. 

Fergie

Fergie goes the all black route by pairing slouchy skinny leather pants with a casual black top and and fierce heels. The leather pants are very understated, but still give the look edge and amp it up much more than a pair of everyday blue jeans would. Fergie's bag is what really stands out, the wrap-around chains are hot!

Miranda Cosgrove

No one understands how much of an amazing celebrity Miranda Cosgrove is nor her amazing style. Miranda is always sporting such a chic edgy age appropriate look which is why I really love her leather skirt. A leather skirt can easily become too sexy, but the pleating and length of Miranda's leather skirt makes it just right and still shows off some leg. Miranda paired the look with a comfortable loose tank and black booties which keep the look young and chic. 

Jessica Alba

Jessica Alba definitely knows how to shake up a classic girly look by adding a dash of leather. Jessica's look went from super classy to amazingly powerful with her leather jacket and top handle bag. Leather jackets are not just for bikers, but also for adding edge and a presence of being big and bad. I don't know if it's just me, but whenever I throw on my leather I feel as though no one can tell me anything, expect my mother of course!

Fashion 101: Neon Color Pops

Elle Fanning

Neon is a hot trend for spring and summer, but there are some people who have a fear of such bright colors. However there are very clever ways to work around a bright pink dress and instead wearing pops of neon in your accessories. Bright purses, shoes, and necklaces are subtle but also make a nice statement. I love how each celebrity in the photos above wore a neon bag and I especially love the peek-a-boo neon in Fergie's clutch. A neon bag looks great with any outfit, even if your outfit already contains neon. For a night out, Fergie's outfit is perfect, she stayed classic with a little black dress and added some oomph by pairing it with neon heels, jewelry, and a clutch. Try it out and sow how you rock neon colors in your looks!

Inspired Style: Fergie 70's Romantic

Fergie

Fergie's 70's Romantic inspired style looks fabuous on her because she owns it. The look may not be for everyone, but inspired styles are always great to try out. Fergie starts by ttaking a flowly cream dress that almost has a grecian look and takes it into a 70's hippie vibe by adding a long fringe vest. She also adds tough boots to add a little edge and an oversized bags to carry all the necessary items. The romance touch of the look comes from the flowiness of each peice in her outfit and the 70's inspiration comes just from a dding the fringe vest. Each part of the look can even look great just on its own. Don't forget to add trendy, laid-back accessories such as aviators and leather, braided bracelets and necklaces like Fergie. Get inpspired ladies and take on a whole new element of fashion!
