I know you're probably thinking, "Where am I going to find these little pieces?!"... 

The answer is, EVERYWHERE! You may see a pink braided bracelet in the dollar store and think nothing of it, but in reality, that piece will come in handy when creating arm candy!

Any old bracelets that you may be over, save them! Mix and match!

Shop at local thrift stores, Forever 21, local boutiques, H&M and if you have expensive taste, browse your favorite high-fashion designer's websites! 

And remember, have fashion fun!

ATTENTION : The Road ahead is COLORBLOCKED!

COLOR BLOCK

One of this Fall's Hottest Fashion Trend is, indeed, the "Color Block" Trend ! Pairing multiple solid colors, whether as a print or as separate pieces, to create an abstract appearance, is wearable art (as Fashion already is). As seen in the picture above on the first model, wearing black slacks and a tan sweater with brown, yellow and orange color blocked abstract prints over a white turtle neck (also a big fall fashion trend) by Designer Celine, color blocking can be subtle and still be eye-catching and intriguing.

Whether wearing a 3 stripe wine, black and nude strapless maxi dress or nude trousers, a cream chiffon button-front top under a rose colored tailored-fit blazer; you are rocking the color blocking! Now, ladies, be careful because this trend can get a little out of hand. The last thing you want to look like when color blocking is a walking crayon box! Be sure to remain stylish, always have a completed look and most importantly, make sure that your colors and fabrics compliment one another!

Do's and Don'ts of Color Blocking !

Do : Try the Trend ! Color blocking is Fun and Exciting! Gives you the opportunity to test colors and how they vibe with other colors.

Don't : Take it too far ! Like I state earlier, make sure that you're colors compliment one another. You typically only need 3-4 colors and if you have more, make sure that they stay in the same color family as the previous colors.

Do :  Tone your look down by  using neutrals as the base. This way, it allows for more bolder and brighter colors at the top!

Don't : Steer away from mixing and matching 2-3 bold colors; even the colors that may seem "crazy" to mix are the epitome of what COLOR BLOCKING is !
