Solar Power: the Fashion Kind

Hello there, my beautiful barganistas! So as I have stated before, I am writing to you about the different colors that have been chosen by Pantone and are popular this season on the runways. The next color that I am going to share with you is called Solar Power. Solar Power is a bright, sunshine yellow. Out of all ten of the colors that Pantone has created, I think that this one is my favorite. Yellow, in general, is such a bright and happy color and to see it appear in the spring trends gets me really excited.
           Personally, I really enjoy wearing the color yellow, especially in the form of dresses and tunics. This color is so feminine, delicate and warm. I know that a lot of people are afraid to wear the color yellow, and believe that yellow is best suited for tan or darker skin tones, but I believe that anyone can wear this color. The great thing about Solar Power is that it is bright, but tastefully so. It will not wash out fairer skin tones. Instead it will compliment them. If, on the off chance you are afraid to wear yellow, this color will make a great accent piece as well. Another idea I’m excited to try is to bring out accent pieces in this cheery color when the weather starts to get colder and our clothing color palette can become a bit drab.  As I was doing my regular window-shopping at the mall, I found some great pieces in Solar Power at affordable prices! I hope that you enjoy what I found, and I wish you all happy shopping!--Olivia W.

Step into Style with Great Shoes

Have you ever looked at a man or woman with interest...until you saw their shoes?
Sometimes it's worth investing in a good pair of shoes. Besides, a person can usually tell designer shoes from an unbranded pair and it's a fun way to invest in your outfit and make it look more sophisticated. When investing in shoes, it's important to look at what you like about your feet (arches, toes, ankles) and find a nice pair that accentuate your foot. Not to mention, we all need to be spoiled once and awhile. Below are some sexy alternatives to those Crocs and Rainbow sandals that give us a bit more comfort rather than style...

Color-blocked heels feel fresh and so perfectly suited for the Spring — plus they're a super simple way to lend a little outfit interest to even your most basic jeans and tees.

Fendi $695                      Enzo Angiolini $110

Kork-Ease $150

We love the textural intrigue of a woven sandal. They have that cool, tribal-inspired quality that looks especially perfect for the warmer months ahead.

Kenneth Cole  Reaction Warm Cedar $ 79.00

   Burberry Prorsum Woven Leather Wedges $1,685    Frye Ramsey Woven Peep $228.00

What's not to love about flat sandals? They're easy on our feet, and in shimmer, embellished, or pretty-hued versions they certainly don't skimp on style.

Tibi Amber Flat $340                                 L.A.M.B. Myra $225

Metallic heels feel entirely new and fresh for the season. They've got a slight futuristic quality that's sleeker and cleaner than sequined shine — and they work for night and day.

Elizabeth and James $350                         Michael Michael Kors $93.99
