My 20th Birthday!

My 20th Birthday! by colette featuring a zippered tote bag

I recently celebrated my 20th birthday in April. I am now finished with my sophomore year of college and can not wait to study in England in the fall. I am debating on creating a blogger about my time studying in England because I don't think anyone would read it. 

Pride and Prejudice

Sorry for not posting in a while. I have been so busy with school. To day I wanted to pay homage to my favorite book/movie of all time, Pride and Prejudice. Jane Austen is one of the greatest authors to ever walk the face of the Earth. Her keen eye of wit and romance shall hopefully never go unnoticed. I tried in this one to image what their wedding might have been like with a few modern elements. I adore the Alexander McQueen dress that Pippa Middleton wore for her sister's wedding. I think it would have been a simple and elegant choice of gown for Lizzie. xo

Romantic Revival

I think that once fashion moves past this trend of neon colors, colored jeans, and ultra modern cuts that a more softer, romantic style will swing back into trend.  More fabric, embroidery, pastels and wider/flowy cuts would be some elements that might be seen in future mainstream fashion.

By the way, the upper right corner is a picture of my taken by my bff.

Jennifer Lawrence

Jennifer Lawrence and white. What a way to start the spring. White and peach tones are always a nice way to refresh a look and give it a delicate and romantic feel. I am particularly in love with this Valentino dress because it is structured with a beautiful fluttering sleeve mixing the elements of hard and soft, much like Jennifer Lawrence. Jennifer has a very soft beauty about her, especially in these photos. Her soft curls and rounded features offset her harder personality. She is funny, sarcastic, and in The Hunger Games plays the strong female protagonist, Katniss Everdeen. I also loved her in Xmen First Class as Mystique.

Color for Spring: Orange

I predict that orange will become a big color for the spring and summer, especially in accents such as blazers, hangbags, lipstick, and accessories. I love the combo of orange with a light neutral, like cream, or mixing it in a complementary turquoise color. Keep it fun, keep it fresh!
