Weekend Outfit Inspiration: Neon
Neon is everywhere for Spring, and I've got to admit that I just can't get enough of it! I'm always looking for some inspiration on incorporating a little brightness into an outfit. It's also Valentine's weekend, so it's the perfect excuse to slip in some pink!

Fall Fashion Guide: 5 Tips to Steal from 'Pan Am'
We're only 2 episodes in and I'm already in love with "Pan Am." It's no secret that I'm a fan of vintage-inspired looks (i.e my Marilyn Monroe obsession), but there's definitely a pattern associated with fall/winer and vintage.
So, in honor of my new favorite show, here are 5 fall style tips to steal from "Pan Am."
1. Winged eye-liner.
I know I don't usually give beauty tips, but this one just can't be passed up! Wearing this trend is easy and oh-so glamorous. It's as simple as 1. apply foundation, 2. apply blush, 3. apply eyeliner, 4. apply lip color - done! YouTube has a whole array of options to help you learn how to perfect the trend too.
2. Trapeze coats or capes.
Not-so-structured coats like these are all over the runways. If you don't like the trapeze style, you could also opt for a stylish cape instead.
3. Let your accessories add a pop of color.
I love how colorful the accessories are this year! Winter's no longer about just primary dark colors. Now you can add richness and brighten up your look with accessories. Hunter green bauble earrings like these are very classic, but you could buy a pair with a modern twist to suit your style.
4. Try on vintage silhouettes.
I am so in love with this look because it's chic and sexy without too much effort. Try pairing a classic pencil skirt, or a mid waist A-line skirt (H&M has tons of options), with a basic white or black cotton top. It's great for work and play!

Not only are the colors on that red frock to-die-for, but the shape is also falttering for many body types. It accents and cinches the waist to give you an hourglass figure, and the dip in the back gives it a sultry touch. To get the look, try a brilliant-hued dress like this from Mod Cloth.
5. Mix casual tops wth dressy skirts.
How do you feel about these vintage-inspired looks? Will you be trying them? I know I will!

The Normal Girl's Guide to Color Blocking
Color blocking with hot hues is all over the runways these days, and it looks like it's here to stay until spring 2012. Not to mention it's the hottest fall trend you can participate in right now.
I know what you may be thinking, "But how can a normal girl wear that trend?" Let me tell you, it's easier than you think!
Color blocking is really about mixing up your brights. You can mix two different brights, like red and fuchsia. You can mix bright in with dark, maybe with an electric blue maxi skirt. Or you mix your brights with white for an unexpected fall pairing. Whichever remix you want to try, all you have to do is follow these easy tips.
1. If you're going to mix two different brilliant hues, try colors in the same family or unusual compliments. Think red and fuchsia, orange and purple, or head-to-toe blues. If you're pairing complimentary colors, don't go overboard. We all know red and green go together, but you don't want to look like an out-of-season watermelon or an early Christmas tree. Try this color block inspiration from Sarah Jessica Parker.
3. Make a clean, chic statement with your flashy pigments by adding white. I love white during the cold months, it feels so winter-wonderland! White is graceful no matter what season we're in, and it makes your brilliant shades shine even brighter.
What do you think of the fall color blocking trend? Will you be color blocking this season?
