Chic, Stylish YOU! PinkIndigo's on the lookout for haute street style!

Meet Maegan Moguel and Brittany Faush!

I met Maegan and Brittany Friday night at the Miguel and Alicia Keys concert (I sincerely hope they loved the show as much as I did!)  As I was walking to my seat, they immediately caught my eye. Not just because they're totally gorgeous, but their outfits were springtime/concert perfection. What I loved about them most after we began speaking is that these girls aren't just looks though, they've got the brains to go along with it. They both work for the Atlanta Falcons (they're not cheerleaders,) and we love the independent business women!

Maegan's pink blouse was definitely an attention grabber (in a completely good way!) At a concert filled with hundreds of people, you want to stand out and be noticed. (Concerts are the perfect place to wear, really, whatever you want!) She paired her outfit with a sexy animal print heel; it gave the outfit a little bit of edge and complimented the color choice very well.

Brittany had an awesome color-combo, putting a cobalt blue denim with a grey blouse. Blue is a huge spring street trend! Harper's Bazaar has recognized the trend as one of the hautest for spring. And again, the color is perfect for catching attention in a crowded place. She kept the shoe classic, and beautiful, with a closed-toe, black, patent leather heel.

 Here are some PinkIndigo chic, stylish concert suggestions:

How To Incorporate Fall Pieces Into Your Spring Wardrobe

A new Spring wardrobe doesn't mean you have to empty your closet and buy an entire new one (unless you just so happen to have it like that, then by all means go ahead!) Being the fashionista you are, I know you'll be buying some new things but your old ones may work just as well. Take some of your Fall pieces and blend them in with your Spring pieces for a super chic, inexpensive Spring wardrobe.

Just stick with the trends! You can't go wrong with anything leather, black and white, or printed; those trends are still strong in Spring. 

Those chic, leather shorts you bought back in October are perfect for an April evening.

An awesome structured blazer is always on trend, no matter the season.

Colored denim is awesome for Spring, use the ones you bought to add a little color to your fall wardrobe.

That cute printed sweater will look great with some shorts and combats, or a chic hi-low skirt.

So, you see, you don't have to go blow your whole paycheck to prepare for a new season. Also, when shopping, you should buy items based on whether you will be able to wear them year-round or if they're for just a seaon.

Who's the Real Queen of the Fashion Jungle?

In this world, image is everything. There are two women God gifted us with on this earth who know fashion better than anyone: the infamous June Ambrose and notorious Rachel Zoe, respectively.

Although they may be the best, they are definitely NOT the same stylist. Ms. Ambrose is very much into patterns and graphics. She loves making things work that no one thought could. Whereas Rachel Zoe is so laid-back California mixed in with a whole lot of New York chic. What do they have in common (besides being the two most fabulous women walking the earth?) Neither one has had any formal fashion training. Wow.

Originally from Antigua, June Ambrose faced tons of ridicule for her foreign culture and even more foreign fashion sense (in an interview with The Examiner Ambrose reveals she used to have bottles thrown at her for being different.) Ambrose got her break into the styling business while doing an internship for Uptown MCA Records in 1990, here she met Sean "Diddy" Combs which led her to the vast music clientele she has today (artists such as Beyonce, Jay-Z (her favorite, I believe) Kanye West, Janet Jackson, Jermaine Dupri, and the list goes on and on.) She learned what a fashion stylist was and thought, "I could do that." Oh, and yes, she did do it. Immediately she put a lookbook together and began her networking (hints the incredible client list she has today.) June had her own reality show, but for reasons I'll never seem to understand, VH1 decided not to pick it up for a second season. :( That isn't stopping her, however. June is still making major moves and flying all around the world, working with awesome artists and creating fabulous looks we all could only dream of! She's a trend-setter as well, June Ambrose is notoriously known for rocking her turbans. Yes, people, June Ambrose started that super chic trend.

(Isn't she totally precious?)

Rachel Zoe Rosenzweig was born in the fabulous New York City. Before she became a stylist, she studied sociology and psychology at George Washington University, which is where she also met her husband (and business partner) Roger Berman. She also worked at Gotham and YM magazines, which is where she found her love of styling. And thank goodness she did! Rachel Zoe is probably the most notorious fashion stylist ever. Her client list goes all the way from Brenda Song to Anne Hathaway (and she's recently teamed up with the new and improved Miley Cyrus -see our previous Miley blog for deets.) Everyone wants this girl on their side! I mean, who wouldn't? Rachel Zoe practically invented the whole "boho-chic" look! Rachel isn't only styling these days, she's also got a totally fab fashion line out (which has already debuted during Fashion Week and is available at Neiman Marcus.) In addition to her fashion line, she's teamed up with ShoeDazzle.com and has her personal selection of the hottest shoes of the season available for you (and me!) Her show just began it's fifth season and it airs Wednesday's at 9:00/8:00 central on Bravo.

They've both got it all; the career, the money, the wardrobe, and the family! And they're both totally running the game right now! I honestly could not choose between the two! So I'm asking y'all, who really is the queen?

Halftime 47 with Destiny's Child

America’s worst kept secret has been confirmed. Nonetheless reunited and it feels SOO good! 5 min and 30 seconds into the 47^th Superbowl Halftime show every 90’s baby dreams became a reality! THE trio of the late 90’s early 2000’s performed they’re hit songs ‘Bootylicious’ and ‘Independent Woman’! The crowd was on their feet and everyone at home was almost in tears. YES, history has been MADE. Beyoncé said it herself that DC was finished. 

Ain't nobody aint fresher than my CLIQUE! First out Kelly then Michelle! It was just as I remembered “Kelly, can you handle it!”  The girls sounding AH-mazing together.  Although reading many tweets some would say Michelle’s mic umm “wasn’t working” properly. The three dressed in what looks like leather looked so fab! Again, tweets would say Michelle’s look was.. Well the term used was “weak” in comparison. Tell us your thoughts. Do you think Bey and Miss Rowland really BRING IT, or did Michelle's lack some oomph? Overall the three looked top notch, sounded amazing, have bosoms that haven’t yet defied gravity, and DIDN’T have lipstick on their teeth. Sorry Madonna.

Was that it for DC? Will the ‘on again off again’ Destiny's Child's group be reunited once again?  No one’s saying yay or nay but I would love to know!

Style Rookie- Tavi Gevinson

THE Tavi “more notorious than the Betsey cartwheel” Gevinson: 16 years old household name in the fashion world. 

When she was 11, she created a blog, "Style Rookie," that captured the attention of designers, editors and many industry insiders! As the ‘unknown’ once said, “This was the first day of the rest of our lifes” 

At 11 Gevinson was receiving invitations to New York Fashion Week, appeared on artsy magazine covers also becoming close buds with Kate and Laura Mulleavy, aka the Rodarte sisters.

Currently at 16 Tavi is StyleRookie's founder-editor, and her imprint is everywhere, from a DIY tutorial on "How to Turn Your Tights Into Knee Socks"! :o  --à http://rookiemag.com/2012/09/knee-socks-diy/

What inspired Tavi? Why a fashion blog? Of all the blogs did she ever think HER’S would be “the one”?

“When I started Rookie, there were a lot of girls like me who had fashion blogs and loved getting dressed up and thinking about appearance, not in a stressful women’s magazine way, but in a creative way. I can understand how some feminists who’ve fought against things like style or beauty defining all women might feel confused about how we can discuss self-esteem and being your own person but also write so much about fashion.” –Tavi

We’re excited to see what Tavi G does in her future in fashion. She had made quite the name for herself and was/is living out every fashionistas dream before hitting her Freshman Year in high school! Will we see a clothing line come to life in the near future? What hot male arm candy will we see in Tavi’s future?  Do you think she rocks out to J ‘believer’ Beiber? And our biggest question would be, what next for miss. Gevinson?

Who Wore It Better

I’m giving this one too… (drumrole) Mrs. Kelly Rowland. She looks youthful, fresh, and fun compared to Khloe who looks a bit awkward in the look.  Khloe could have improved her ensemble with a sleeker do as well as a shorter boot to   balance out the look. Better luck next time Kardash-Odem

'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!

Plus Size Myths

                                                                    “I CAN'T horizontal WEAR STRIPES” Myth! 

I know we don't carry Plus Size clothing as of yet but we can still give style tips!! Plus size woman can wear stripes, and wear them well! After all, horizontal stripes have become a perennial favorite in fashion collections. Vertical stripes are an obvious slimmer. They elongate the body and make you look longer AND leaner. The more common horizontal strip is said to make you look wider. It's the horizontal wide stripe women try to avoid. It's true, a wide horizontal stripe typically has a panel sifting right in the stomach creating that wide effect. BUT WAIT, narrow horizontal stripes does the figure just fine! Also when wearing a horizontal stripe use accents to create illusions. Like a bold skinny belt to create a waistline or do a black and white stripes that contrast each other. 

-Avoid a stripe that goes right across the tummy area
-Use accents
-Contrast, Contrast, CONTRAST!
