I am here to rescue you!
I know … I know accessories are the easiest, and most often the least painful, way to participate in a trend that may seem kind of “out there” for regular divas!
But look out for the chic divas!
Look for super shiny metallic shoes and bags you can see your reflection in, lucite jewelry and lots of patent leather for futuristic-looking accessories. You’ll see everything from jewelry to shoes to bags in every bright color of the rainbow.
So mix and match them with the easier trends in clothing, like the whites and nudes, prints and soft tailoring to stay trendy and super chic for spring!
Let’s go!
Your next adventure awaits,
Monica the Urbanista

Color is Back!
Color has been popping up everywhere and in the most unexpected places: orange dresses, bright bubble dresses and funky sunglasses.
There are 3 KEY ways to rock the hues but pretty much anything goes.
The Great Wall of Color – For the bravest of fashion freaks, pile on every bright color you own and act like clashing your color is the coolest thing ever!
The Colorstroke – Wear one huge dose of color against a subdued canvas. Try layering a poppy red tunic over slate grey jeans and ppep toe pump. Let the color be your accessory and leave the jewelry at home. Perfect for making a bold evening statement.
The Experiment – Sprinkle your ordinary ensemble with exhilirating dashes of color. Choose green shades from Urban Charm, a brownish-tangerine lip glass by Carol’s Daughter or a brilliant mustard-colored tote. Add with confidence and let fun guide the way!
Dressing-down to Dress-up
It seems the underlying mantra of today’s fashion is “Don’t look as if you tried” or more succinctly, “Effortless”.
It seems tousled, unruly hair, vestiges of last night’s makeup and a boyfriend’s favorite shirt is the freshest ensemble about town. Where exactly am I going with this? Oddly, to evening wear–the fine art of dressing up to look as if you never even dreamed of dressing up for said-occasion. One of my favorite tricks among fashionista event-goers is plucking the most white-tie worthy gown from the closet and rocking the sparkly frock like a silly piece of dirty laundry!
It’s all about dressing down your dressiest piece. Pair an ultra-casual shoe with a cocktail dress (Converse, work boots or dare I say cowboy boots?) is an enchanting paradigm. Cinch the silk gown with a worn leather belt. Top your crown with a vintage hat that’s seen better days. Layer an old concert tee under a strappy dress. Of course, there’s always the no-fail pairing popularized by thousands of runway models-turned-NY-scenesters: The fitted leather bomber jacket.
Whatever your approach, dressing-down to dress-up takes a bit of creativity but a lot less time, how effortless!
