THROWBACK THURSDAY: THE BEAUTIFUL LISA VANDERPUMP INEMERALD GREEN

Happy Thursday Loves! The weekends almost here, but before you get to excited about the weekend we are throwing it back once again!

Here's a shoot Toni styled for Bravo's "Real Housewives of Beverly Hills" and the new show "Sur", with our Favorite Brit- Lisa Vanderpump.  Lisa looks beautiful in this Emerald Green gown by Mark Zunino for last year's Spring Issue of Beverly Hills LifeStyle magazine.  The jewel tone color compliments many different skin tones, as you can see in the photo above. Emerald Green is only going to get heavier as the season progress and is going to be a hot color this fall!

Be sure to amp up your closet with some green goodies and be the envy of your friends!

Have a great day!

MENSDAY WEDNESDAY: SUIT UP!

Men, we all know that suits can make the man, so today I am going to tell you three awesome suit trends for this upcoming Fall! Suits are tailored and made generally to show off mens great figure and broad shoulders.

The first trend for Fall is wearing your buttoned down shirt, but leaving the first three buttons undone to portray a casual V-neck kind of look.

Tired of the old traditional suit and tie? great, because bow ties and skinny ties will still be big this Fall!

Lastly, stand out at your office and get a suit with one of a kind texture and color. For example, go for a cozy wool or tweed, which are two great fabrics for Fall/Winter.

THROWBACK THURSDAY: THE HALTER DRESS

Here is a great throwback we did in 2006 for Calabasas Magazine, featuring Parminder Nagra wearing a gold halter neck. We all know that 2006 seems like decades ago, but the same trends that happen 6 years ago still get the same recognition today, for example halter necks. Halter necks are still around today because they look flattering on any figure. They put a sexy twist on showing off your shoulders, and back. So don't throw out that halter neck in your closet because they are here to stay!

WEDNESDAY MENSDAY: 3 SUMMER TRENDS NOT TO MISS

Hi it's Angelica here!

The summer might be coming to end, but it never ends here in sunny California! This one is for the boys, it is never to late to learn about mens summer 2012 trends....

Feeling the summertime blues? Well don't feel it, dress like it! From Royal blue to sky blue you will see a lot of men sporting different arrays of the color blue. Don't be afraid to mix and match with different pops of color, or for a simpler look you can't go wrong with a sleek white button down. 

     We know everyone loves a good pair of Levi's, but it is summertime, and bright colors are IN! Get a pair of bright khakis to make your outfit stand out. Style these cool colors with either a plain T or with a fun design like stripes! You can even try rolling them for a different look. Men, I know usually you leave the bright colors to the girls, but don't be scared to step out of the box with this summer trend.

The late 60's are back and printed shirts are brighter and bolder then ever! Plain white T's will never fade away, but trade that plain white T for a cool funky print. From hippie flowers to colorful dots wear these cool designs with a simple pair of jeans or even shorts. Beat this summertime heat and buy a printed shirt today!
