Fashion Friday: Embracing the Camo Craze

Embracing the Camo Craze

---

Posted on October 4, 2013 by Miche

When you think of camouflage (camo) print, what comes to mind? A few answers might be military fatigues, deer hunting and—yes—Elmer Fudd. But savvy fashionistas have different answers: new colors, hot trend, street style and sexy—yes—sexy! Camo has come out of the functional closet again in the last year and hit fashion runways with a vengeance. More great news? No “fashion fatigues” here—the trend shows no signs of letting up. Not sure how to wear it while keeping it stylish? Try these quick tips.

1. Add a touch of femininity: By its very nature, camo print is masculine and a little bit edgy. If you choose a tailored camo shirt or jacket (they’re everywhere right now and they are gorgeous), add gold or silver jewelry or a crisp white blouse. Don’t try to overwhelm the camo since, after all, it’s the focal point of your outfit …just add some girly touches.

2. Keep the rest of your outfit simple: Yes, yes. Mixing prints is also a big trend this fall, but camo is not your everyday print. Combining it with something else dilutes the sexiness and it no longer looks powerful. Pair camo slacks with a simple black biker jacket and pumps or wear a camo shirt with jeans.

3. Accessorize with camo: Let’s face it—not all of us are ready to go all-out camo or you may not feel age-appropriate to embrace it fully. But you love it, so what do you do? Accessorizing with camo is a great addition to a neutral outfit and it doesn’t require a total commitment. Opt for a handbag like the Miche Gabby and you’ll look and feel sexy—with a little bit of edgy thrown in.

Fun :)

Fashion Friday: Bling It On!!

BLING IT ON!

---

Posted on September 27, 2013 by Miche

What is it with us women and bling? We just love it! Rhinestones, studs, crystals, sequins, glitter, and don’t forget the real deal. There’s a reason why it’s said that “Diamonds are a girl’s best friend.” The reason—no doubt—is that a little bit of shine makes us look and feel utterly feminine and (BONUS!) draws every eye in the room. The trick is to keep our use of bling classy as well as fashion-forward.

1. Clothing: Trends for outerwear bling definitely come and go, but if you really love glitter in your life in any season, a safe rule is to go easy during the day and let loose a bit at night. Those stud-speckled jeans are perfect for an evening movie yet are probably a bit much for the office, even on Casual Friday. Full-blown shine works in Vegas, but keep in mind that for those of us who live elsewhere, less is more. Let your natural beauty glow during daylight hours—don’t rely on over-decorated outerwear.

2. Jewelry: This is the fashion category where most of us feel most comfortable in “blinging it.” And why not? You can choose your focal point and the possibilities are limitless—a single large cocktail ring; diamond studs to spotlight an excellent hair day; layers of crystal rhinestone bangles for a diva look or an illusion necklace dotted with zirconia. It doesn’t have to be expensive to look expensive, so take advantage of today’s much-improved fashion jewelry choices.

3. Handbags: A handbag is arguably a woman’s favorite accessory, so a bag with bling is about as close to Nirvana as it gets, isn’t it? As long as it’s not over the top, a little shine on a purse catches the sun during the day and glistens under electric lights at night. Unless you’re going to a formal dinner or the Oscars, choose a handbag whose studs or other shiny embellishments compliment an already-fabulous design rather than overwhelm it.

So go ahead and shine, ladies—and keep it classy!

Fashion Friday: Warm it up!

Warm it up!

As weather starts to cool off, fall fashion colors definitely heat up. Although black is always an autumn favorite and a safe choice for any occasion, there are warm neutrals that are stunning and will perfectly offset the brighter colors in the Pantone® palette(the industry standard for fashion). One of these warm Pantone® neutrals is Carafe. Here’s how to incorporate this rich, glamorous brown into your wardrobe.

1. Boots: Thigh-high boots were all the rage at New York Fashion Week this month, but if that’s too racy for you, no worries! Boots in ALL styles are always a popular fall choice, especially chunky ones. Find some in deep brown Carafe . . . this shade goes with just about any color.

2. Lightweight Cardigan: You’ll see sweaters of all types in Carafe this season, but don’t go for the woolies yet—winter will be here soon enough. Opt instead for a lightweight cotton or chenille. Pair your cardigan with jeans or a pencil skirt for a casual yet sophisticated look.

3. Handbags: Do you love to wear the brighter colors in the Pantone® palette like Samba or Emerald? Give your outfit warmth with a shimmering Carafe handbag like the Valicity for Miche Prima bags. This is a look that actually transcends all seasons—gorgeous!

Happy autumn!

Behind the Name: Gretchen

by Miche Rep Melissa O.

Gretchen was born the youngest of two daughters. She was ALWAYS happy and had a smile that would light up the room. She led a normal life, went to high school, met a boy (Brad Smith)and got married. They moved to his family farm where the boy, now a man, took over the farming from his father. Together they had two sons, Quinn and Mason.

As the boys grew, Gretchen was involved in everything the boys were into: Band Boosters, Academic Boosters, and a number of other groups to support her sons. She loved the kids and all of them always seemed to gravitate toward her. Then came the day she found out about the CANCER.

Cancer! She started treatment and was determined to keep things the same for her family. As she fought her battle all the kids from school rallied around her, doing t-shirts sales and even having a surprise purple football game . . . the whole team wore purple and so did the audience (our school colors are orange and black). [The color for Non-Hodgkins Lymphoma Awareness is purple, so it was perfect]. We all loved to see her smile.

Gretchen’s condition worsened over time, despite treatment and her inspiring will to live; the weekend before she passed away in late 2012, Gretchen and Melissa’s town held a fundraiser for her family and raised $32,000. Melissa then wrote us the following:

I hope to see a Gretchen Shell in the near future. She deserves it. She is a hero to so many. Her fight is an amazing fight of love. [She wanted] to spend her old age with her high-school sweetheart and the family they created together. To see her sons graduate college and high school. She will never do those things now. I would like to remember her in a different way . . . to have her with us as a memory we can wear on our arm. A Shell. A [purple] Shell named Gretchen.
