Keep or Toss: Wedge Sneakers

Tom-boy fashionistas everywhere rejoiced this past year after Isabel Marant debuted the first wedged sneaker. In case (for whatever reason) you do not happen to know what a "wedged sneaker" is, it is simply a shoe appearing to be a sneaker but it actually has a wedge in the heel. Surprisingly simple, right? And yet, this simple shoe has taken over the fashion industry in just a short amount of time. Since its debut, this trend has been spotted everywhere (literally, everywhere) from Isabel Marant all the way to Skechers.

Even the classic sneaker brands like Nike and Reebok are getting in on the action!

Although the trend may be one of the biggest things happening in fashion this year, it's not all positive attention. Some reviews of the shoe read, "What's the point?" Others called the shoe "flat-out ugly!"

So we're curious, how do you feel about the trend? Is the wedged sneaker a keeper, or should we just toss it?

Pretty in PRINT

Pretty in PRINT ft. Molly Ringwald

The fashion in the movie ‘Pretty in Pink’ and even ‘Seventeen Candles’ both featuring Molly Ringwald, are ICONIC for its fashion staples. In the film Molly was considered lower middle class. 20 years later the fashions in these movies have become designer’s inspiration. Prints are all the rag for summer/spring ’13. A print top says “I’m daring” but a print bottom says “I exude style!”

The Pinkindigo girl adores the trend! Embrace this hot floral trend with this daring two piece featuring model Sara Naomi on PinkIndigo.com . This is a totally perfect top to pair with your favorite skater skirt and easily pair these pants with a white tank and denim jacket. Any request on how to style your spring prints? Your wish is our command! 

'Only Girl' -Rihanna | Fashion Review

America’s ‘it girl’ RiRi has had quite the turnover and is now topping charts musically AND fashionably. Early last year Rihanna released her single ‘Only Girl (In The World).  This is like your favorite summer in the winter jam. “I could not stop watching because the video was shot so beautifully and furthermore… the fashion was ON POINT.” The first corset ensemble was AH-Maazing and such a precious look. So gorgeous in all white complementing her fire red hair which I felt added a bit of rebelliousness.  The cropped sky blue sweater with the thigh high’s, so effortless and feminine.  My FAVORITE look was the first one that you can barely see when the video begins which is later revealed in the video.  Rihanna is wearing a rhinestone headband with a matching top.  Thank Christina Aguilera during her “Stripped” days.  Rihanna pulled off this sexy look without looking (hmm)… trashy. ‘Only Girl’ is Raw and Sassy all in the same breath and earns a total of 5 PinkIndigo stars. Tell us, What video should we fashionably review next?

'Tis the Season?

Ya it’s that time of year. The Christmas parties, holiday brunches, New Year’s...  Figuring out what to wear can be a challenge. Now we’re not telling you exactly what to wear but just a safe never sorry, holiday success. The TOP 3 holiday problems:  1. Wearing Too Much Glitz 2.Being Under or Over Dressed and 3. Putting It All Together. Ladies, make it easy!

No wonder women approach the holidays with dread. If you've ever dressed up shinier than a Christmas tree. Beading, metallic and shimmer are all fine for the holidays. In fact, most women wait until a good party to break out all of the glitzy finery. But too much shine can overwhelm anyone, especially if you wear it in areas that you don't necessarily want to highlight. Solution: Sequin at the bottom puts a twist on things. Most women would wear a sequin top and call themselves “holiday party ready” (psssh she's got nothing on these ---> http://pinkindigo.com/black-brown-sequin-pants-p-247.html)

On the other hand you show up in jeans, everyone else wears velvet; you wear a long dress and others wear business clothes. You're not alone if you have trouble deciphering “dressy casual” and “cocktail attire”. Solution: You can never go wrong at any holiday party around your boss in a blazer. (perhaps one with a little flare ---> http://pinkindigo.com/white-slit-back-blazer-p-208.html) Simple!

Now for those who have a hard time putting it all together:  When going simple in something like a little black dress, add some drama! Don’t make it so complicated with your hair. Opt for sexy half-up/half-down styles or pull your hair back into a low ponytail. As far as makeup goes, sometimes all it takes is a great red lipstick to dress it all up! Share this with friends on Facebook to help them look just as fab!

Cobalt | Color of the Season

**Trend Alert**

We all knew earlier this year during fashion week that cobalt was 'a' hot color for the fall/winter season. But no one told us it would be THE hot color of the season! Totally unfair warning walking into retail stores, while out shopping black friday even, that this color is springing off the racks. Although I must add that cobalt looks ah-mazing with the winter hues of oxblood and chocolate brown. Vouge states, "When the autumn shows rolled out in February, it was clear designers hadn't quite cast off thoughts of their upcoming summer holidays". Of course Vouge knew, they're Vouge! lol Thank goodness for Vouge though right? 

  We've got popping color and loads of sequence it's like a party in your winter wardrobe and we're excited about it. Love Fashion?  We do too!
