Pantone recently announced the 2018 Color of the Year – “Ultra Violet.” The blue-based purple hue already has a significant cultural presence – from the podium (Hillary Clinton wore purple for her concession speech) to Prince’s Purple Rain. This year, make the streets your runway with the color of 2018 and Ann Taylor.
Ann Taylor offers consumers a variety of ways to incorporate shades of the “complex and contemplative” Ultra Violet into their wardrobe with a collection of tops, skirts and dresses that combine their classic, tailored aesthetic with an on-trend effortless vibe.
Mix, match and accessorize Ann Taylor’s classic pieces to create stylish looks that can go from day to night while allowing you to showcase your own personal take on the new color of the year.
Socks are considered the most under-stated fashion accessory. They’re normally tucked away in a hidden department next to the hosiery!
In the last few years, socks have made a huge comeback! They can be found in an array of designs and styles. For example, invisible socks can be worn with dress shoes and crew socks are for sporting activities.
DeadSoxy is an innovative shoe company that specializes in superior high quality socks. Here’s why their socks are so amazing:
The Feel: Uber-soft, high-end yarn enables a cool and dry environment for your feet and means no shrinking
The Look: Superior dyes keep socks from fading and the distinct patterns give your outfit an extra dose of style
The Design: Engineered in a U.S. knitting mill to create a unique technical design that no other sock on the market has
The Magic: These technical specifications keep our socks, whether crew or no-show, from slipping or falling; so you get a comfortable wear & put-together look ALL day
The Deal: They are THE ONLY company ever to offer a money back guarantee if they slip off your foot.
Product Review:
DeadSoxy shipped a pair of invisible and crew socks. Upon opening the package I was skeptical but the quality of the socks speaks for themselves. Each pair had a unique design and fit nicely on my feet.
Street Style Trend: Socks and Heels
I like to wear high heels for various events but often leave with sore feet. By wearing a pair of crew (or invisible) socks this eliminated that issue. The Steele Woman sock is stated to match your fun personality and I actually like that mindset!
DeadSoxy has both men, women, and youth socks along with sophisticated accessories such as colored shoestrings.
Also, quick side note: if you’re searching for a bulk order of groomsmen socks, the company provides personalized packaging.

WHO: Maria Menounos, Emmy winning host and New York Times bestselling author
WHAT: Maria Menounos wears the Pronovias Randala gown for her wedding to Keven Undergaro on Fox’s New Year’s Eve in Times Square.
Pronovias Fashion Group continues to consolidate its position as a global leader of the bridal sector year after year. It started out as a family business in Barcelona in 1922 and is now the world’s leader in bridal gowns, present in more than 105 countries with 155 stores and more than 4,000 sales points.
The holiday season is the perfect opportunity to stock up on winter clothing essentials. Everyone gets the urge to update their wardrobe, especially with so many after-Christmas sales.
One aspect to consider when purchasing cozy items such as sweaters, socks, and jeans is the laundry/care instructions. For those that don’t know, care instructions are generally found on the tag of most clothing pieces.
Those small symbols teach us how to keep the longevity of our clothing. There’s nothing worse than shrinking or fading your favorite pair of jeans!
Some people believe in using the dry-cleaners to ensure the longevity of clothing. Dry-cleaning can be time-consuming and costly. This is a limited solution for those with a large family.
Dryel at-home cleaning system will not shrink, stretch, or fade clothing. The system has simple instructions and your clothing will come out clean and fresh in a matter of minutes! Dryel can be purchased at Target, Publix, Amazon, and Walgreens.
The Kardashian Clan celebrated Christmas in style. Newly pregnant Khloe Kardashian didn’t let a baby bump stop her from enjoying the holiday! She was seen in a Yousef Aljasmi beaded jumpsuit and high ponytail.
According to social media, the Kardashians shared snippets of their holiday card for 25 Days on Instagram.
The family opted for a classic look wearing white shirts and jeans. Kylie Jenner was missing from the traditional picture.
Prince Harry and Meghan Markle released their official engagement photos. Prince Harry was seen in a custom suit while Meghan is wearing a beaded gown from Ralph and Russo.
There’s speculation about Meghan’s non-traditional sheer bodice but the couple looks amazing!
Recently, I have shared several Instagram photos wearing a blanket scarf and coordinating accessories. Primarily because it’s very cold and blanket scarfs are a quick option to add a touch of chic to any outfit.
They’re inexpensive and layer over sweaters, button-down shirts, and cute dresses. I’ve also struggled with keeping my head warm and will quickly grab a leather hat.
Aside from the brisk weather we are embarking upon the New Year. This is the perfect time to re-evaluate goals, aspirations, and relationships whether it’s family or friends.
I have started to map out the direction of my personal and professional objectives. A few of my goals are volunteering and implementing new elements to my business.
I like to take goal setting a step forward by purchasing organizational tools that will keep me on track. What are your goals for the upcoming year? How do you re-evaluate and make changes?

Being cozy is a fashion staple during this time of the year. Yes, it’s glamorous to wear backless sweaters and knee boots but being warm is more important.
Soft Surroundings is the perfect shopping destination for luxury and comfort. The name alone speaks volumes and has something for everyone on your holiday list!
At home, I am known for being chilly and wearing a full robe. In the midst of putting up my Christmas tree and running errands, I opted for my Hug-Me Cardi. Let’s start by saying my life revolves around this fur jacket.
I watch movies in this jacket. I go to the grocery store in this jacket. I bake holiday treats in this jacket. I have a glass of merlot in this jacket.
Aside from the Hug-Me Cardi being ultra soft, it has very easy, readable care instructions. Simply machine wash on cold and tumble dry. It’s not like most fur jackets that loose shape and form.
