The Color Blocking Trend

Color Blocking is the new hot trend. It combines two or more blocks of color next to each other in an ensemble to create fashionable effects. The trend is everywhere; on the runways (Gucci), on red carpet as well as celebrity street style and celebrities love it. Every time I see a celebrity dressed according to the color blocking trend, I just smile. It is very summer-y. Take a look at the pictures below and dare to try the trend. Just be careful and choose the right colors, for example purple and orange always look good together, blue with yellow, pink with yellow too.

I absolutely love the trend, especially for the summer season. What do you guys think? Love it or hate it?

Cheryl or Nicole?

I think that some of you know whom i'm referring to. Cheryl Cole and Nicole Scherzinger of course. As you probably know already Cheryl Cole was chosen by Simon Cowell himself to be a judge on the upcoming season of the USA X Factor alongside with him and Paula Abdul. Cheryl judged auditions in two cities, but last minute she has been kicked off the show due to her thick British accent. So the network had to replace her immediately. Nicole Scherzinger was their first (as she wasn't picked as a guest before) and best option.

The interesting part is something else though, at least for the fashion world as they are both very fashionable. Take a look at what they chose to wear in their first auditions!

So thoughts? Who is your favorite? Mine is Cheryl Cole (as she was the first one to sport the purple - orange combination).

Style Icon: Cheryl Cole

For those who don't know, Cheryl Cole is an English singer/songwriter who was a part of girl group Girls Aloud. Girls Aloud had 20 consecutive top ten hits in the UK. When Girls Aloud went on hiatus, Cole went solo making two hit studio albums. She is currently a judge on the X-Factor, a singing competition (think American Idol for those in the US).

Cole is definitely a style icon. Through the years her fashion sense has grown and she has finally stepped into her own in terms of her style. Her fashion reflects her personality which is fun, flirty, and sophisticated. She has a very muted color palette in the form of nudes, blacks, and soft grays but spices it up with details and accessories. Cole's best style ability is her understanding of layering. She is great in knowing what works together and what doesn't and when its just enough. Have a look at some of her best style choices this year.
