Royal Honey: Get inspired by Spring 2013's freshest color: Royal Blue!!

Hello Honey's,

There are many awesome things that are blue: Beyonce and Jay-Z have Blue Ivy (and she just turned 1), My favorite European Soccer Team and World Champions Chelsea FC's team colors are blue, the NY Giant's colors (Go NY, even though we are out of the playoffs) are blue and Princess Kate's engagement ring is a beautiful sapphire blue.Now you can be a part of the blue-fest for Spring 2013, because Royal Blue has been ravishing the runways and advertisements (Gucci, Versus and Fendi) as of late. I love this color and how it works for most complexions.

 Royal blue according to Wikipedia "describes both a bright shade and a dark shade of azure blue. It is said to have been invented by millers in Rode, Somerset, a consortium of which won a competition to make a dress for the British queen, Charlotte of Mecklenburg-Strelitz.^[3]"

Now you can be like the Royals and enjoy Royal blue at all costs, now I am not saying that you are going to win a monopoly game and a royal blue dress will be made for you, but you can use your royal fingers and purchase a dress at the link that I have provided below.

You can't do a blue outfit without having some trendy makeup as well. I love using navy blue liner under my eyes. Maybe after scoping these options, I might have to expand my color options to nails and mascara as well!

Ringing in the New Year! Goodbye 2012 and Hello 2013

Hello my Honey's!!

Welcome to 2013!! Year of the Snake and Year of Pastel and Mod (in the fashion world), I know many of you are still feeling cooped up with the holidays and thats ok! Unfortunately for me, I spent the holidays coddling my Kleenex Box and Nyquil. I suffered from a severe cold which restricted me to just a heavy turtle neck and a snuggie (very fashionable- yes I know). If I were ready to go out and party, I would've worn something similar to exhibit A below.

New Years Look by onyinyeakujuo featuring kotur

2012's reintroduction of the ankle strap and glitz made legs look longer and sexier - cut to the hot Guiseppe Zanotti's above! I was so ready to make it work in my similar outfit- but that was thwarted by my unforeseen sickness. (Fail). January might be cold, but it is a great month to work bold colors and mix with heavier textures and accessories.

Janaury's birthstone is the Garnet. The Garnet according to www.aboutbirthstones.com  "continues to be the protective gem of journeyers. A gift of garnet is thought to be symbolic of love and the desire for a loved one's safe travel and speedy homecoming". So ladies, check out some cool Garnet items that you can incorporate into your wardrobe to keep you in trend with the stone of safe travel!!
