chromatism: coral


Every season has it's trends. 
From patterns to fabrics & drapery to cuts; most collections are so cohesive with one another, it makes you think all the top designers take a weekend trip to Karl Lagerfeld's secret chateau in France & draw two or three colors out of hat over a bottle of Chardonnay & just like that, our seasons colors are created!

If that is the case [& can we all take a second & picture a room full of Prabals & Marcs], then whoever drew the darling color coral has lucky fingers.

The reason that coral is so amazing out of the three statement colors this spring [the other two being cobalt blue +here+ & tangerine], is because of its versatility.

You're not limited to coral clothing but can reach out to coral polish, lips, cheeks, eyes & even hair for those of you daring enough! Here are my fav corals of the season:

How are you coloring yourself in coral this season? I personally think I'm going to experiment with the reef-worthy tips this weekend with my friends!

chromatism: cobalt blue

Everyone has their go-to color that they just know they look good in [c'mon, it's okay to brag!] As I got older & needed more formal wear for more events, I always gravitated toward 
cobalt blue.

Cobalt blue has gotten me through two homecoming courts, one prom, a wedding, & technically every single day of senior year ["Providence... Go big blue!"] Even last week when I hosted a fashion show for work, a cobalt blue pencil dress I express-shipped from ASOS saved my fashion crisis. 

SO imagine how stoked I was when I found out the electric color 
was a huge forecasted trend for this coming fall!

However:
What's $200 now in-stores is going to be $2,000 come autumn, so here
are the two cobalt blue pieces you need to own and how to wear them now & then
[before they break your bank]


{contents} cobalt denim: j. brand + blazer: 3.1 phillip lim + razor-back silk tank: 3.1 phillip lim + satin and suede pump: ysl + printed chiffon top: l'agence + should bag: victoria beckham + suede pumps: giuseppe zanotti

{contents} cobalt blue blouse: michael kors + color block bangle: etro + flower print denim: dolce & gabanna + heels: burak uyan + tweed blazer: iro + cotton skinny pants: roland mouret + black pumps: christian louboutin





What is your go-to hue?
