We are in the last weeks of summer and you have two weeks to
get in all those travel and fashion plans you promised yourself back at Memorial
Day. My two summer resolutions were to
figure out how to wear more color and head to the beach.
New Yorkers, especially those in the fashion industry tend
to favor an abundance of black in their wardrobes. The summer season is the time to break out
every bright color to meet the sun. Don’t
worry, you can take baby steps. Also
FYI, every store is mega-sale mode right now for summer goodies, even though
you still have 2 months of warm weather and long days to go…
Start with your manicure.
If that’s still too much commitment, try a “neon-French” manicure. Replace the white with your favorite shades
of bright colors on your nail tips. It’s
also the easiest “nail art” look for women on-the-go. You can just add more color and more patterns
as you get comfortable.
If you can’t do head to toe color, your handbag or jewelry
is an easy option. That amazing shade of
bright you always thought you couldn’t do?
That belongs on your purse. Your
statement bag should be an exclamation, not a whisper! My little Rebecca Minkoff mini-mac is my
favorite go-to piece.
Shoes are another great way to add accent color. If you can’t get away from having your shoes
match your outfit, you can opt for shoes that have some pop color. These rockstar sandals from Alexander McQueen’s
McQ line were the perfect choice. If you
do “pop” color, do it with a bang.
My second resolution of hitting the beach? I am happy to say I got out to my haunt of
Montauk, NY a few times and will also be headed there tomorrow. I squeezed in some time (briefly) in South
Beach too between my coverage of Miami Fashion week shows.
The clock is ticking. What do YOU want to accomplish before
Labor day?
