Turquoise is my favorite color, but when cooler weather rolls around, I trade in my bright go-to hue for its darker, fall-friendly cousin: teal. Mix and match it with other jewel tones or pair it with neutrals like black or gold for a no-brainer combo. Check out my favorite teal picks below.

With fall quickly approaching, it’s time we put away the bright colors and introduce richer shades into our wardrobe. As the weather cools down, I’ll be sharing some of this season’s major color trends to help bring your wardrobe up to date.
Lesson #1: Red is out. Oxblood is in. Not a big fan of the name, but I’m obsessed with the color. It’s a dark shade of burgundy with hints of brown and its richness just exudes warm and cozy feelings! Check out my favorite oxblood items below and let me know what you think of this fall color trend.

This past Monday, I was invited to attend the fashion presentation for Mauricio Alpizar’s Spring/Summer 2012 collection. Needless to say, as a little ol’ style blogger from Arizona, I was so excited to be attending my first NYFW event! Not bad for my second week living in NYC, don’t you think?
The collection was chock full of my favorite things: sparkles, prints, and bright colors — not to the mention the gorgeously styled hair on all of the models! Bold jewelry offset delicate pastel colors perfectly, but I’m pretty sure the sequined bolero (see above) stole the show. What do you guys think?
