Trends for 2013

Hey dolls!

Since we just celebrated the new year I wanted to share some of

the trends I think we will be seeing a lot of in 2013!

1) Leather 

I am ob.sessed. with leather right now! It is definitely one of my fave new trends! I just got a pleated leather skirt for Christmas and I already have been putting outfits together! Leather is just so versatile and fun to work with. You can make it edgy, chic, or girly with just a few different accessories! 

I can't wait to see this trend come to life in 2013.

2) Printed Pants

This next trend is definitely something that is risky when it comes to everyday outfits, but I'm definitely going to give it a shot! In 2012 we saw a lot of colored denim (love it!) and this year I think we'll be taking that up a notch by mixing some patterns in! I love these green and blue bow printed pants from J. Crew! The pattern is unique yet simple at the same time. I think when the pants are busy you always

have to go with a simple top and accessories, so I think that's how I'm going to make this trend a little more wearable for me!

3) Black and White

Lastly, I think we'll be seeing a lot of simple, chic, and sophisticated black and white this year. For a while, everyone was into bright colors (even neon!) but now I think black and white will reenter the fashion world. I love this trend so much because it's so simple and easy to wear, and you can easily make any outfit your own by accessorizing it to make it unique! I really can't wait to create some chic black and white outfits!

Overall, I think these 3 trends will be making their way into our wardrobes in 2013!

I'm so excited to try all 3 out this year.

What do you guys think? Will you be trying out some of these trends this year?

Hey Gals! 

This weekend was spent outside enjoying this lovely fall weather! The colors look amazing and the sun couldn't be warmer. I had a great time at some family parties and played with the cutest little kid-lings out there! I even made my first batch of the season pumpkin cookies (you can find the recipe here) and a nice cup of hot cocoa. How have you been celebrating fall?

Have a Happy Monday!

Hey Gals! This past weekend I headed for the west coast for my brothers engagement party! We stayed at his fiance's house that was literally a block away from Rodeo Drive. Ever been? It was heaven. I went shopping in some extremely cute stores, went to the Santa Monica Pier, hiked to the observatory, and walked on the beach. It so much fun and I can't wait to go back. Hope you all had a fab weekend!
