2016 Trends That Need To Die Right NOW!

I love a good trend as much as the next gal, but after a certain age I have found they don’t all like me. Therefore, I say you need to be comfortable in your own skin and know what works on you and what does not. Trust me there have been more than a few times I almost left the house wearing something I was not 100% confident in, so I took it off and have never regretted it. Some friends pointed out trends like the return of Dolphin shorts (the ones Chrissie wore on Three Is Company in the 70’s), over 100 coats of nail polish so your nails appear to have multi-colored snails on them (Google it, you’ll vomit) and overalls (which I maintain only look good on the under 10 set) – but I have not personally seen these too much. These following trends I would never even consider. Neither should you.

I Dared To Bare – I Tried An Off-the-Shoulder Top and I Liked It

I know I have been pretty hard on the off-the shoulder top and here I am wearing one. Yes, I dared to go bare shouldered. My husband and I had to attend a Rio themed party and when I did some research I learned I should wear something bright. I don’t own anything with a bright pattern, so I was on the hunt. I was searches high and low and was striking out left and right. I had found a pineapple bag on clearance from Asos and figured I could wear a black dress like I always do a get an updo and stick a flower in it. Boring.

The Recap And Fashion Drama of The RHONY Season 8: Ep 15

Watching this season of The Real Housewives of New York, I have come to two conclusions. One, Sonja Morgan is a whore. Two, LuMann is a bigger whore. If she did in fact climb on top of her future husband while he was on a date with his girlfriend of three months (holding hands no less) and left with him that evening (did he just leave his date at the bar?) then that is horrible and so NOT very Countess-like. In fact, I dare to say it is very “See You Next Tuesday-like.” If you are one of those suckers who bought her book “Class with the Countess: How to Live with Elegance and Flair” I’d either demand your money back or light it on fire. Those two obviously deserve each other. How disgusting.

Wear Now & Later: REALLY Wide Leg Pants

True, super skinnies are back in a major way, but if you want something really MAJOR try going the polar opposite with super wide leg pants and jeans! We are talking almost palazzo pants here. The look and vibe is more 90’s (think Red Hot Chili Peppers) than 70’s (not Abba) so make sure the detailing is not screaming hippie. You want these pants to be almost baggy and in some cases, dare I say…pleated? If you are a bit confused, take a look at the ones I found

Must Try: Kiehl’s Since 1851 Custom Blended Personalized Facial Concentrates

When I received an email about new customized skincare inspired by Kiehl’s Since 1851 heritage, I had to check it out for myself. Kiehl’s has been providing solutions to unique skincare needs since 1851! Now they are offering their 165 years of expertise to create in-store custom-blended formulas in the original New York City apothecary complete with one-on-one skin consultations.
