Runway Trend of Fall/Winter 2013-14: Navy Blue

Runway Trend of Fall/Winter 2013-14: Navy Blue

Classic and intense, Navy Blue was center stage at The Dries Van Noten, Chloé, Céline, Hermès, Nina Ricci, Calvin Klein, and Paul & Joe Fall/Winter 2013-14 Runway Shows.  Monochromatic, as a heavy tailored coat or splashes of it here or there, you can not go wrong with this season's "it" color (or the new black-ugh, so cliche! I promise you, I tried to avoid using that term.)

Below are some great navy pieces, from baubles to bags to apparel, to add to your wardrobe from luxury pricing to cheap!

Slave to Trends?

STYLE CONSCIOUS, NOT STYLE OBSESSED

CHANEL IMAN IS ALWAYS STYLISH BUT NEVER LOOKS TREND OBSESSED (LOVE HER!!)

Trends are fun...I think that's one thing we can all agree. What's not fun about staying up on the latest trends is when they become our OBSESSION. Magazines become our Bible & celebrities become our gods...uhh NO. I have one God & one Bible and trends don't define me. Nor should they define you. Being trend obsessed in an attempt to express individuality makes you just like everyone else. There are billions of people in the world & at least 50% are up on every HOT trend and rockin the same exact thing you’re rockin. Doesn't that make you less of an individual & more of a copy? I think so.

Don't get me wrong. I LOVE FASHION. I think looking like you have style & sense is necessary. But I am by no means trend obsessed. I wear what I want, I follow trends here and there, but I always add my own seasoning to the main dish. A trendsetter is not someone who wears what everyone else wears. A trendsetter wears what the average trend obsessed individual never would have come up with. This blog is my idea of style…fashion with a twist. I promise to make the trend I choose mean something to you, so you don't feel like a clone of the style obsessed girl standing next to you. Feel me?

S.T.U.D.

STUDS are “IN” fashionistas. Studded vests, studded bangles, studded ballet flats.

Get carried away, but not too carried away. ONE or TWO jaw dropping studded

pieces are enough. You don't want to look like an asteroid...and you will... if you overdo it. Especially if your studs are gold.

S.T.U.D. = Surrender to UR Destiny. Stay true to yourself, stay true to your style, and do what it takes to become whatever you want to become. When you're wearing your studded vest & the girl across from you is wearing a studded piece too, just remember you're an original...with your own destiny.

I love my Dolce Vita Studded Flats.
