Fall Color Line Up

Earth tone neutrals used to be the common fare for Fall which consisted of basic blacks, browns, tans & cream.  That's not the deal at all for this season as we are seeing a barrage of rich colors that will most definitely excite and surprise you!  Your cooler weather wardrobe will get an instant boost if you add one of these hot hues to it... Aside from the coral and pink, these are my faves from the Pantone Fashion Color Chart for 2011...

RICH BERRY: Makes an outstanding statement especially when paired with basic neutrals.

OLIVE GREEN: My favorite of all greens that is a neutral hue and very versatile.  It's flattering to every skin tone.

DEEP TEAL:  An extremely strong blue-toned green that should pretty much be limited to one piece per outfit (meaning never wear teal on both the top and bottom).This colors best complimentary hue is charcoal gray.

COFFEE LIQUER: Rich & decadent, this particular brown brings a sense of elegance to Fall.  This color is safe to wear head to toe, however you can jazz it up by pairing it with gold accents.

Staying Cool...

Is everyone braving the heat?  We're getting blasted with some tropic style temps here in the Motor City also referred to as the 'D'.  Trying not to complain however, because before we know it, Winter will be upon us and then we'll be spouting off about how much we hate the cold! No happy medium in these parts, that's for sure!  Yesterday was a real scorcher, so I took advantage of it and spent my time inside, stocking the shop with over 30+ new items.  Here is a quick preview of some of the vintage fashions we're bringing to you this week!
