This Spring, get yourself garden party ready with Clarins! A few local bloggers were treated to a presentation by Clarins at the Houston Galleria a few weeks back. We got to test out all of their new products to get our skin ready for Spring. Of course, they’re all about skincare with their double serum (which I actually already use daily) and their daily cream. But they have makeup and lip products to get you looking bright and natural after those long winter months. For eyes, it’s all about the green, which they described as pretty much perfect for any eye color, giving the perfect pop to anyone’s look. Pick up their green kohl pencil for perfect liner and smudging.

Hi SIMONistas!

Since it was selected as Pantone’s 2015 Color of the Year, Marsala has hit the style scene with a spicy saunter. Once the hue was declared as the bearer of our year’s future, Marsala has garnered a bit of backlash. People want to know: Why such a subdued swatch? Will this years fashion offerings feature blah-filled styles?

Last year’s winner was vibrant and playful Orchid, and with moody Marsala following in the footsteps, it’s understandable that the comparison doesn’t fare well for our current contender. However, Marsala’s sad stigma should not carry over to the style scene!

In fact, this hue is the full-bodied flair our fashion needs. Marsala took to the runways with power, and there’s no sense in believing we can’t rock Marsala’s sophistication in the same unique way.

As such a robust and rusty color, it’s important not to let your outfit drown in mauve monotony. The key to rocking Marsala better than the rest is to either use it in the form of a cool accessory or as a printed piece. Breaking up the muted tone will make you the most chic and fabulous fashionista out there. Don’t listen to the nay-sayers; your wine-red year has much to look forward to! Sip on these savory styles that are simple to wear and bring a whole new light to Pantones’s 2015 Color of the Year.

Michael Kors Vanessa Tote (Macy’s)

Diane von Furstenberg Gilmore Sheer Silk Shirt (Saks)

Ibelle Flat (Aldo)

Ruffle Front Romper (Express)

Wave Waist Belt (BCBG)

1969 Resolution Skinny Jeans (Gap)

Boatneck Dress (bebe)

Stop by the shops at Lenox Square and Phipps Plaza where you can find a multitude of marvelous Marsala-inspired styles to rock for 2015.

Harem pants are a perfect mix of serious street-style and comfort. They are a style of pant popularized by M.C. Hammer, but they’ve been seen recently around the streets as they try to make a come back. I personally don’t know how I feel about this trend yet, but decided to give it a try before I write it off. Since we are in the midst of winter and the snow and cold temperatures that do not seem to be leaving us anytime soon, I styled the harem pants to fit the season.

Although harem pants come in many fun prints and patterns, a solid black pair is a nice way to test the waters with these pants. From there, you can pair your harem pants with a lot of things you might already have hanging in your closet. A classic grey T-shirt won’t pull away attention from the main event of the outfit, and drape really nicely with the pants too. To be a little warmer, a shearling leather jacket is not only on trend but will complement the style of the harem pants as well. A circle scarf in a fun color will make the outfit pop a little bit more and also doubles as an extra heat source. Finally, some combat boots play off of the grungy vibe and tie together the entire outfit.

Now you are ready to take on winter with the harem pants! Let me know how you style yours.
