You’re lucky I’m even blogging today. My fingers are tired from all the tweeting I did last night during the Oscars. As always, it was an interesting show with a lot of great moments, and some truly outrageous ones. I love that someone coming up on stage unexpectedly is now called “pulling a Kanye.” Way to be remembered, KW. Didn’t he also used to be involved with the music industry somehow? Hmm…good question. All I know is he likes to make a scene whenever possible, and now when anyone else does it, they’re compared to him. [click to continue…]

As you’ve seen, one of spring’s biggest trends is neutrals. Mostly, neutral platform pumps, which go great with jeans, slacks, just about anything, really. Whether you go with those, or opt for neutral flats instead, you need a matching handbag, right? Chances are, you have at least one basic-colored handbag in your closet, a black or a brown, maybe a tan or even off-white. Those will work for a lot of outfits, and most of your shoes, but even colors like this that are usually so versatile can clash with the latest neutrals of beige, ecru, and even blush-hued beige. If you’re going to work a trend, then work it all the way, don’t do it half-assed. [click to continue…]

A new season is on the way, the designers and retailers are putting out the new collections and putting all the old stuff on sale or clearance. You’re probably working on adding new pieces to your closet to update your existing wardrobe so you’re ready when they weather changes and you can actually start wearing all those pretty spring clothes. You’ve probably bought some great spring shoes and handbags, too. Uh oh. Hold on. Have you thought about something you might use every day but maybe don’t really think of as an actual accessory? If you work at an office and ever take work home, or if you travel for work, or if you just like to take your laptop to the coffee house down the street to blog or shop, you need something to carry your computer in, right?

The weekend was absolutely gorgeous! For the first time in weeks, I was able to go out without a coat on. I spent some time walking around downtown, got a pedi and a massage, went shopping, enjoyed the sunshine. Then I woke up today to a gray, rainy day. Blah. What a crappy way to start the week. I don’t know about you, but I need something to perk me up, so I decided to go a little whimsical today. Maybe not so much whimsical as unusual. In any case, it’s colorful! Unlike Lady Gaga’s latest fashion folly at the Brit Awards.

Continuing with pink and orange week on StyleCynics! I couldn’t be more thrilled that one of the hottest trends for spring this year is one of my favorite color combinations. I didn’t used to be a fan of orange. To me, that color was reserved for carrots, pumpkins and really bad fake bakes. Seriously, people. Look in a mirror. If you look like an Oompa Loompa, it’s time to dial the self-tanner down a few notches, or just apply for a job at the chocolate factory and be done with it.

Yeah, yeah, I may be jumping the gun a little. But I am really loving all the spring colors that I’m seeing in handbags right now. Wait. I’m loving all the handbags I’m seeing in spring colors right now? Or I’m loving all the colors I’m seeing in spring handbags right now. Well, whatever. You know what I mean. Spring is around the corner, there are handbags, and they’re in pretty colors! So if the blog looks like a parade of Easter eggs right now, just deal with it.
