MISSONI FEVER

I've been obsessed with the Missoni brand for as long as I can recall. The brand, developed by Ottavio Missoni in 1953, is famous for its knitwear and crazy colorful patterns. The most recognizable pattern is the zig zag like striped pattern which I simply adore. Missoni is also known for their geometrics and abstract florals, in a kaleidoscope of colours. M Missoni is a less expensive line that you may find at Saks, Neimans or Nordstrom. Definately worth the investment because their pieces can often become classics, not to mention, favorites in your closet.

And get this, about 30 Missoni hotels will be open by 2012; A project introduced in 2005!!!

How exciting; I could only imagine what it would be like to stay in one :)

BECOME A COLOR BLOCK-KING QUEEN!

It's no surprise that one of my favorite trends this spring/summer has been the fun color blocking trend. A lot of us are scared to look a fool while trying to pull this look off. Here are a few tips on how to get it right!


Some of my favorite color combos are

Shades of ORANGE and PURPLE

OBSESSED!

IF YOU WANT TO BE REALLY DARING ADD A PASTEL BELT IN A COOL COLOR IN THE MIDDLE!

Shades of  GREEN and SHADES OF PINK

If you want to wear a bright color, but don't want to play it safe, pair with a neutral color (top or bottom) and add metallic accents like shoes or a belt.

Shades of THE SAME COLOR FAMILY

Try pairing together different shades of reds or blues 

Add white and gray or nude/tan accents!

THIS TREND ISN'T ONLY FOR WOMEN,

MEN CAN DO THIS TOO!

PAIR A BRIGHT PAIR OF PANTS WITH A LIGHT/WHITE OR NEUTRAL TOP

PICK UP PIECES WHICH HAVE COLOR BLOCK ACCENTS

PLAY IT SAFE WITH NAVY, YELLOW AND WHITE FOR A NAUTICAL LOOK!
