Boutique 9 Alanee Pump

Dear Girlfriends,

With the winter season in full gear {just was snowing in metropolitan DC last evening}; we are all ready for some color beyond the dull gray, brown and black some of us tend to wear during the winter months.  Instead try a pop of color on your feet this winter.  Its guaranteed to make you feel better – its a trend you will love and it’ll make you feel good as well.

Here are some vibrant heels to consider; have some fun!

Bring a pop of bright color to your looks with these fun Deviaate platform pumps from Steve Madden. In rich purple suede, they feature a stylish peep toe and ankle strap for a unique touch.

Twinkling metallic accents spotlight the triple temptation of a mary-jane platform pump supported by a feminine wrapped heel.

A dash of complementary color jolts across the concealed platform of a peep-toe pump set on an angled-cut heel for geometric glam.

A color-blocked platform and wrapped heel boost an architectural sandal structured with a crisply cutout vamp.

A wrapped heel and platform lift a round-toe pump shaped from high-gloss patent leather.

and wrapping these up!  I found this! Eye-catching flare at the back intensifies a precocious pump with a high hidden platform.

Girlfriends, don’t be blah this winter – embrace the season and give your feet something to smile about – you’ll be fab in colored pumps.

Until the next style adventure,

Monica

Dear Girlfriends,

Don’t just get your winter wardrobe in gear, glam up your nails!  Serena Williams, tennis player and fashion icon, has teamed up with Suzi of OPI to create a duo of new shades.

Serena says, “Everyone knows that I’ve always loved fashion and design, but they might not know that I’m manic about my nails.  That’s why I’m super excited to partner with OPI to create my Glam Slam Collection.  And on top of that, I am well on my way to receiving my nail technician license.  Working with OPI is really a dream come true.”

OPI-Serena-Williams-Glam-Slam-Collection

OPI-Simply-Smashing-Black-Shatter-swatches

Arriving just in time for the Australian Open, Glam Slam Australia includes Simply Smashing, a shimmering gold-green lacquer, and Black Shatter, a revolutionary new color that creates a “shattered” effect when applied over dry lacquer.

Try the shades together for a smashing hot look that’s fierce and fashionable-just like Serena.

Until the next style adventure,

Monica

Dear Girlfriends:

Its August and soon to be September – already! As we transition from Summer to Fall one piece of clothing item you need during this transition is a pair of cargo pants.

Cargo pants are indeed making a comeback, what with the military-inspired trends we’re seeing this Fall.  What we love about cargo pants is that they’re a great substitute for khaki pants and the dark-rinse jeans you have in heavy rotation.  And they do work with a wide variety of looks.

Distinctive seaming adds dimension while perfecting the lean fit of stretch-twill cargo pants with cool, modern style.

Skinny Stretch Cotton Cargo

Could Calvin Klein Jeans’ cropped cargos be any cuter? Wear them rolled and buttoned or cinched with drawstring ties.

Loved for their unique, custom fit denim, Current/Elliott has been seen on fashionable celebs like Mandy Moore, Nicole Richie and Emma Roberts. After years of buying vintage denim and tailoring them to a more modern fit, Emily Current and Meritt Elliott, a.k.a. the styling team dubbed MAUDE, founded their own line of denim. Inspired by their vintage finds and bespoke fits, their collection ranges from the comfy boyfriend styles to slim bell bottoms in worn-in washes and custom fades.

Slouchy Skinny Cargo

The cargo goes upper class! In supple brushed-silk, this cropped cargo pant is fluid and flattering, glamorous and gorgeous. Cargo-carrying zipper pockets: two side, two front, and two back. Girlfriends, you can also consider the Tangier Banded Cargo Pant has a slouchy fit. Twill ribbon belt at waistband. Gromet, stud and zipper detail throughout.

Tangier Banded Cargo Pant

Girlfriends, these slouchy cargo pants feature slant hip pockets and studded button-flap side pockets. Tonal topstitching at button-flap back pockets and at knee. Adjustable button-tab at bottom hem. Single-button closure.

Army Cargo Pants

And finally, these slouchy print silk pants feature slant hip pockets and button-welt back pockets. D-ring strap closure and inverted pleat at flap side pockets. Ruching at front waistband and lace-up tie at notched back waistband. Adjustable single-button closure at bottom hem. 2-button closure at front.

Camo Cargo Pants

Don’t forget to channel your inner glamour girl.  Pair your favorite slim cargo pants with embellished tank and a pair of high heels and you will have a look perfect for Saturday night on the town.

Until the next style adventure,

Monica
