Trendy Friday

Trend forecast

Traditional matching/sets

there is just something so sexy about sets.....

Matching of colors

how to follow: 

3 colors worn in outfit or under

shoes match the hand bag (the more accessories matching the better)

matching of prints

 how to follow:

The most successful are matching similar genre prints 

ex: different floras in same color range see below:

The necklace earrings bracelet and rings

how to follow: 

It is nearly impossible to find a vintage set or modern set of jewelry.  Instead I suggest choose like items

for example all glittery geometrical jewels

all insect jewelry

all floral jewelry

imagine in the photo below nature inspired cocktail ring(s)

dream sets

 

 

 

The hat the bowtie/collar that match the set of jewelry or the clothing worn

How to follow:

for example if you wear a floral printed outfit please wear textural hat or collar/bowtie

 

The many cocktail rings with bracelet combo are mandatory for this trend

 

Suits

How to follow:

an excellent choice, whether traditional (a real suit) or modern (any clothing with a matching fabric in seperates)

The most modern approach would be a button up shirt in the same fabric as a pair of shorts

or a jumpsuit

 

kindered spirits

Musical Inspiration

JACK WHITE!!!!

I love the way jack white thinks

I love how he is constantly building a character

living a story

each album is packed with stories.

I love the ecclectic mixture
he pulls from just the right genres and historical goodies

He and I are always on the same wavelength

Everything I love written by one man:

blues

Pre punk 60s

saloon piano

bagpipes

classicle

blue grass

 

Each album shows what I was about when I was listening to it

I always happend to be influenced/on the same wavelength
