What's Trending For 2014?

Today's "Style Stop" segment was a fun one! I quizzed the Good Morning Carolina anchors on what was hot for spring.

There are some quirky trends afoot, so let's see what they had to say about them!

Springing Ahead to Spring

For the next few days, the weather will be warm and sunny in Wilmington. It'll be so warm that you may confuse the dead of winter with the early days of spring. So why not take this time to revel in what's to come for the next season?

The Pantone Fashion Color Report, released last fall, revealed a palette filled with muted pastels and exuberant brights. Now that it's 70 degrees outside, I can actually imagine wearing these beautiful colors!

Basking in today's pleasant sunniness has me thinking of warm color combos, such as  Linen, Poppy Red and Nectarine - colors that are sure to be strong power players in the local retail market. 

What spring colors are you looking forward to wearing?

Cover Story: Fall Fashion!

Yay! The fall fashion spread is out!

I was fortunate to work with photographer James Robinson, who knows how to get that moody lighting that I love so much, and model Jessica Lucas, who did an awesome job, as well! 

Let me know what you think!

I tried experimenting with the first look on this page. In my head, it looked totally different! But a true fashionista has to take some risks. While it wasn't the most conventional look, it was fun to experiment.

Pippa's booty starts a new cosmetic surgery trend

Today, ABC's Good Morning America reported that Pippa Middleton is the inspiration behind a new trend of cosmetic surgery, called the "Pippa butt lift."  This "trend" has apparently trickled down to the mainstream, meaning that regular women will want to get rounder rears with plastic surgery. 

Did I miss something, here? 

Last I checked, shapely derrieres have always been in demand, and the sister-in-law of Britain's apparent future king is hardly responsible for that. One could take a gander at the likes of J. Lo and Beyonce to see that curvy "donks"  have long been celebrated. 

And in extreme cases, women have been known to invest in posterior implants to make their booties larger - video vixens and Nicki Minaj are evidence of that.

Having inherited a flat-backside, I'd be lying if I said that a curvier butt wouldn't be on my wish list. But going under the knife for it seems excessive. 

I'll stick to my squats, thank you.
