Green is the leading color in fashion this year as emerald green has been declared to be the official color of the year 2013 by Pantone.  So this season, get your essential items in varying shades of green.  We are absolutely fond of darker palettes of forest, emerald and teal greens, which are easier to pull off than brighter shades.

Varsity jackets have gone mainstream – the jock staple has been seen on catwalks and on fashion insiders alike.  The trick is in the mix by teaming up with unexpected items such as a pencil dress (as opposites attract).  May we suggest this one in a clean black palette that will add a nice sporty twist to your outfit.  Throw it over this faux leather dress then slip into dressy slip-ons (in gray) to complement the jacket.

When we think of Hollywood icons, Elizabeth Taylor is one of the few names that come to mind.  How can anyone possibly forget this remarkable woman?  The looks, the style, the fame and the legacy all cement Liz as the queen of the Hollywood.  Looking back at her photos and movies along with all of her life achievements, it’s no surprise really.  Her exquisite style is something to be admired as well.  Elizabeth embraced classic old Hollywood style both on & off screen, making her one of the fashion icons of her era.

Infuse old Hollywood glamour into your wardrobe including your workwear!  An easy way to do this would be to wear  just one or two pieces at a time to keep the retro style work well with the rest of the outfit – it’s all about mixing & matching.  Wearing vintage to work can be tricky but you can achieve it by adding subtle touches of vintage such these key pieces  – swing coat and kitten heels for the look below.  They are easy retro-inspired pieces that you can seamlessly incorporate into your work wardrobe.  A tailored dress along with structured bag make the whole ensemble office-appropriate.
