#4 Reoccuring Colors on the Street

Once upon a time in a far away land called New York City 

fashion took the streets, businesses, and shops by storm!

And this happy ending is all about COLOR! 

On the Street: This Upper West Sider sports a black legging with a loose white tank, 

black blazer, over sized scarf and Louis Vuitton bag. 

Perfect for a chilly, dreary NY day! 

At the Mall: This shopper wears a pair of dark wash jeans, black riding boots, a white button up and a loose scarf. Winter is definitely not going anywhere fast as everyone is still bundling up in neutrals.

In the Office:  In a NY office you can see a dark pair of jeans, black tank top, over sized gray cardigan and a ruby red necklace for the perfect splash of color!

At the Mall: Another mall goer looks like shes ready for Spring

in her light pink scarf, dark purple top, cream cardigan, jeans and black flats. 

The reoccurring theme here in the Big Apple? 

Black, black and more black! 

Classic, timeless, and versatile.

This color will never go out of style and will be seen as the most reoccurring color on the streets for years to come.

#3 Fashion Trend from New York Street

Choo-Choo! All Aboard!

 This weekend at The Train: International Fashion Trade Show & the NOW Showcase there were plenty of fashion forward buyers, press, and designers.

I caught them as they walked in the door to see what 

savvy NY Street Style the guests had in store for us!  

The first two guests were wearing Joann Berman - "The Reigning Queen of Reconstruction." 

She has been driving force in the art and fashion sustainable world since the 1970s.

The next guest, sporting her own line showed her signature style off in Titania Inglis.

A key item that all three ladies were wearing --- combat boots! Whether they be feminine with a heel, or flat and edgy, these kicks have taken New York by storm.

No matter who you wear, or how you wear it, street style is all about being yourself! So get out there, be courageous, and take some fashion risks!

#2 Key Item for Spring 2012

With all of the amazing pieces, patterns, themes and colors that Spring 2012 has in store it was hard to narrow my choice for the key item of the season down to just one! 

Fashion, Fashion. Where for art thou Fashion? 

Move over Juliet, there's a new girl in town! 

Always a fan of romantic, flowing chiffons, and pale, soft colored dresses I of course chose a loose fitting dress and top as my key items for Spring 2012. Giving credit where credit is due, Fashion Snoops assisted my decision making.

Soft pastel yellows, mints, blues and pinks will be hitting the streets next Spring. Hopefully with the debut of these romantic tones, 2012 will be the year to prove to us women that chivalry is not dead!

Patterns of feathers, florals, and washed watercolors will be printed on the fabulous flowing fabrics of my chosen dress and top as designers and factories dye, cut, sew, and create a new look for the Spring 2012 season! 

As romantic as a picnic on a warm Spring day, the dress and top that I chose as a key item to have can be shown off while you carry your picnic basket over the hill and down into the meadow on a sunny afternoon. 

 After just spending $110 on clothes today, I have moved on from the ever so young at heart sickness - "Bieber fever" - to a dangerous and even more deadly shopping fever. It's February and apparel for my favorite season is hanging on the racks. Now thats a little excessive ladies. Keep yourself from breaking the bank and your Romeo from going ballistic over the credit card bill...

Until Spring 2012 comes along!

In romantic chiffons and sexy charmeuse fabrics your Romeo will be softly wooing you below your balcony in no time! "But soft! What light through yonder window breaks? It is the East, and Juliet is the sun!" So get prepared for Spring 2012 Juliet because Prince Charming will be approaching your castle any minute now. ;)

#1 Fashion Blogs from the Web

These four blogs are my daily addiction! 

I check them everyday for inspiration, fashion news and celeb entertainment.

The Blonde Salad 

Italian fashion diva Chiara Ferragni is my go-to girl for daily outfit inspiration! Her Italian flare and constant traveling gives followers a taste of Europe's fresh fashion sense. Easily relatable, Chiara shows daily pictures of her outfits, family, friends, boyfriend [ who is pretty easy on the eyes ;-) ] and everyday life. Definitely a must see blog if I do say so myself!

The Cut

New York Magazine's fashion blog, The Cut, always keeps me up to date on the most recent industry news. A daily addiction, I can't help but check for the next scandal, a new collection, or even why Kim Kardashian is upset about being a bit too exposed in a W "spread" . . . pun intended !

Refinery 29 

From fashion trends and street style to drinking, dining and culture Refinery 29 spills on it all (but hopefully not on my new Elizabeth and James dress)! Great online deals, store guides, trend watching, music, parties and hot new products can all be found in one place! Can you stay super stylish this season? Hope you're up for it! Refinery 29 will keep you up to date.

The Zoe Report

A little indulgence never hurt anyone (err..maybe just our credit cards). Stylist for the celebs, and fashionista herself, this new mommy-to-be sure does know how to dress in the line of luxury. Rachel's accessory, apparel, beauty and lifestyle picks flaunt themselves right off of our Mac screens and into our NYC apartments. These tight Chloe leather pants, this fiery red Marchesa dress and these amazzzing Christian Louboutin Pignalli Point Toe Pumps are causing that leftover Christmas money to burn a hole in my pocket.
