Purple Pick-Me-Up

How to Wear the Palette of Royalty

Worn by royalty from ancient to modern times, purple is the color of choice for the regal and stately. You don’t need blue blood to adorn yourself in this splendid hue. From the lightest lilac to the deepest aubergine, purple has a permanent spot in spring fashion. Make place for this sovereign shade in your everyday look—here’s how to add it to your wardrobe:

• Feisty fingernails. Make a statement with a violet heliotrope or dark blackberry at the end of your fingertips. Bold like red, but less intense, purple instantly draws attention and gives you confidence.
• High contrast. Wear a plum-accented handbag with a celery green top or a pair of deep lavender pumps with a pastel teal blazer. Matching intensities of green and purple look stunning together.
• Lavender blue. Just like the night sky at twilight, donning an inky blue with sparkling amethyst will elicit a calming effect.
• Eyes have it. Smolder with a dark grape smoky eye or simple plum-lined eye to add interest and complement any eye color.

Everything's Coming Up Roses

5 Ways to Rethink Pink

Spring flowers are making their debuts, and you don’t have to be a gardener to appreciate a delicate pastel rose or peony. This season’s color trend is coming up rosy— from the softest pink pastels to bright flamingo pink.

Here are five ways to wear this happy hue:

1. Tone-on-tone ensembles. You don’t have to be matchy-matchy with your pinks. Try wearing deep fuchsia and petal pink together.
2. Blushing tights. While there’s still a spring chill in the air, don a pair of pink tights with that little black dress or a simple A-line skirt.
3. Blooming lips. Find the right pink lipstick or lip stain for your skin tone. Whether your pout sports a shocking pink tone or a purplish cherry blossom, your pout will pack a punch.
4. Tickled-pink purses. Stock up on pink handbags like the Miche Virginia or Dillon and add a splash of champagne pink to your jeans and tee or navy business suit.
5. Golden rose. Pull out your favorite gold jewelry and wear it with your preferred shade—blush or bashful. Gilded accessories make your pink gleam.

Cheery & Confident Coral

Easy tip: add one of these coral shells to your spring wardrobe right now

4 tips for wearing this spring trend

Things are heating up outside. Hasten the onset of the warmest season of the year by adding fruity summer color to your wardrobe. Coral hues are sweet and juicy like a ripe mango or nectarine. This lively color is fun and fiery and looks great on virtually everyone. Enliven your look by adding a dash or a bushel of coral.

You’ll exude confidence when you slip on vivid coral. Here are some tips on how to incorporate it into your look:

• Accessorize with coral: sandals, belts, handbags, necklace or whatever you can imagine
• Pair coral with bright hues—cobalt, fuchsia, aqua or lemony yellow
• Use a single coral accent to bring out the brilliance of a crisp white blouse
• Add coral to a neutral blue ensemble for a zing of cheer

No Hassle Tassel Trends

Classic drapery pulls, graduation caps and men’s loafers all sport the same eye-catching accent— tassels. Tassels are unique and add a bit of extra interest to any look. You can include this fun, dangly trend into your wardrobe effortlessly. You’ll find them on:

• Necklaces
• Belts
• Handbags
• Bracelets
• Shoes

A little goes a long way, so don’t overdo it with more than a few. The easiest way we’ve found to add tassels is to grab a cross-body bag and throw it on over jeans, a bright top and gold earrings.

A-list stars are seen wearing tassel flair all the time. Why not borrow their look and make it your own?

• Strappy high-heeled sandles with tassels as worn by Blake Lively
• Understated black tassel necklace as seen on Kate Moss in LA
• Boho-chic feather tassel earrings as seen on Gwyneth Paltrow

Golden Myths

King Midas loved gold so much that when asked what he desired most in life, he chose to have everything he touched turn to gold. Pretty soon, though, he realized that he couldn’t eat or receive love from the precious ore. You may not be a lover of gold, but you’ll soon see there’s a lot to admire about the shimmering flaxen tone.

Many rules on wearing gold exist and most aren’t founded. If you’re avoiding this prized metallic, here are a few myths debunked.

• Myth: You can’t wear gold and silver together. You can wear metallic together and here’s how: don gold and silver together and wear them right next to each other. When done in a subtle way, burnished hues look spectacular together.

• Myth: Gold went out with the late 90’s and MC Hammer. Gold is way too legit to quit. You don’t have to be a hip-hop mogul to look great in gold. We see it all around the office and on the runway.
• Myth: Gold doesn’t look good with gray. Similarly to wearing gold with silver, putting gold with gray is a great way to keep your gold casual and to really make your shiny accessories shine.

• Myth: Gold is dressy and can’t be worn casually. Gold brightens up any casual look and pulls together the simplest of looks. Our favorite is jeans, a white tee and a gold necklace or golden handles on your favorite handbag.

• Myth: Gold is gaudy. Unless you wear it like a gangster (large chains, golden teeth and big dollar-sign rings), this precious metal can be classic, sophisticated and downright hot!
