New Trend Alert! Bird Branch Print

Now this print is not brand new, but I knew once I saw it on a fashionable gift bag that this print was becoming popular. In the past few years there have been several prints and images that have become insanely popular such as: skulls, owls, and both bright and muted floral prints. Now there is birds, specifically birds on branches. Personally, I am not in love with this print, but the boldness and vibrancy of the print is definitely to be admired.

This is a very fun print that can liven up a more conservative outfit without pushing the "sexy" limits. This is the direction that Hanna from ABC Family's show Pretty Little Liars took when she paired it with a sweater. I don't know if that means the print has arrived or not, but the show is known to be fashion forward. The bird branch print is youthful but I could see the more mature woman rocking this print, possible on a smaller scale. It is a print that kind of falls in between mature (sometimes dowdy) and childish (in a good way). I have not reached that point in my fashion life in which I would be comfortable in this print, but I certainly don't knock those that are a little more adventurous. This print is cool in its own way, but I don't believe that it will be a lasting trend. We will see!

New Trend Alert! Antique Tribal Matchstick Necklace!

I love this new trend!. The Antique Tribal Matchstick necklaces are really cute and totally me. I am definitely a big fan of statement necklaces in general, but these are a must-have. I especially like ones is black, gold, and white such as the one shown below. It is interesting to see African fashion and culture translated into a  westernized trend. I think that this style of necklace is both earthy and flashy, resemblant of the motherland. You can be fancy and dressed-up while staying close to home. I envision myself rocking a form-fitting bright red or cream (possibly black) peplum dress and nude heels. I would probably rock and up-do, simple earrings, a wide gold cuff, and a red lip as well. Sassy right?
