Mellow Yellow – Color Trends

June 6, 2018 by robincharmagne 24 Comments

yellow-color-trend-robincharmagne
Hello pretties,
Of course I’m talking about Beyonce…again. Yellow appears to be the color trend that she really gravitates toward in her videos and performances. Most recently at Beychella and the infamous Hold Up video from the Lemonade album. Beyonce wore a beautiful flowy, dreamy Roberto Cavalli dress, with layers and layers of ruffles. In celebration of yellow, I hand picked some finds for home and fashion in this soft but sexy color.

Yellow is fast becoming a favorite. I use it prominently in my dining room and I have added a few yellow pieces to my collection of cute tops. It can be hard to wear if the shade is too light for your complexion, just looks faded. If you are going to try yellow, I say be bold with it and get a strong yellow. You can pair it with black or white or add another color for interest like, green, brown, or red. Ease into this sunny, fun color with an accent piece like a bright crossbody handbag or summer slides or in your home with a rug or pillows.

Do you rock yellow in your home or in fashion?

Purple Reign – OOTD #81

May 4, 2016 by robincharmagne 8 Comments

purple-top-gwynniebee-robincharmagne

Hello pretties,
Purple Reign is of course a play on words for Purple Rain. I am still sad about the passing of Prince Rogers Nelson. I am not celebrity crazy by any means, but two deaths had me in tears – Whitney Houston and Prince. The music of both artists was a big part of my growing up, of my becoming a grown woman. It sounds cliche but yeah both artists have songs that are the songtracks of my life, that take me back to specific places and times. When Prince passed, my college roommate and sorority sister posted on Facebook how we would watch Purple Rain a ca-gillion times in our student center. Gosh so many memories came rushing back. The color purple has always been special to me, it is the color of royalty and Prince is definitely music royalty. I have said the talent and genius of Prince will never be matched, that I know for sure. So in honor of Prince, I am rocking purple in today’s OOTD, take a peek…

This OOTD was so easy and as always beyond comfortable. The off the shoulder look is one of the top trends this season. I like how this top has the spaghetti traps, finishes the look a bit. This one is from Gwynnie Bee but here is a cute option and another cute option.

Gwynnie Bee

I have mentioned before that I use the Gwynnie Bee clothing subscription service to keep my wardrobe fresh without spending all my coins. With this subscription, you can borrow dresses, skirts, pants, tops, and even outerwear – wear it as long as you like and then return it or buy it. This top is remaining in my wardrobe for the time being and may just get purchased in the very near future! You want to try Gwynnie Bee? You can get a free month of clothes!

I paired this super cute top with jeggings, my first time wearing them. They look like denim but pull on like a legging. These were a little big so I would suggest sizing down to get the look of jeans. And stick to the darker wash for a more slimming leg. Finished the look with simple accessories, vintage clutch and lace-up sandals.

Do you have a song that brings to mind specific memories of good times?

These summer songs bring back so many memories – Freak-nic, clubbing eery dang Sunday – yeah – so bad on Sunday, and just kicking it with my girls! Now I fiddled and fiddled with the playlist and it wouldn’t play…bummmer!! But you can visit Spotify and listen for free! Oh, fair warning – adult lyrics.

Friday Faves – 40 – Chinese New Year Edition

January 31, 2014 by robincharmagne 2 Comments

Chinese New Year, Longchamp, Tiffany and Co, celebration

wallet//tote//necklace//watch//horse trotting

Hello there,
Oh gosh, what a week we’ve had in The A. But y’all know regardless of what happens, Atlantans will Rise Up! The countless stories of random acts of kindness and generosity demonstrated across this city, make me proud to be an Atlantan. Yeah it was a mess, but folks really helped each other get through a bad situation.

On to today’s Friday Faves which is all about the Chinese New Year – The Year of the Horse. If you’re born in 1954,1966,1978,1990,2002 or 2014, then this is your year. You are said to be well liked, happy, and a hard worker. I’ve curated some special goodies created just for the Chinese New Year celebration. That Longchamp bag is the truth. Longchamp Le Pliage is the grandaddy of travel bags. And I’ll take a little blue box any day. The song today isn’t a song at all, but horse trotting! I’ve always wanted to go horseback riding – it’s on my list!

Is this your year, if so, does this describe you?

Treat someone special to a nice Love Day, enter the Valentine’s Day Giveaway hosted by me and some sweet blogger friends click here for a chance to win $350!

Do something fun this weekend! Oh, Go Seattle! LOL!

Keep it Pretty,
