Bright and Bold
Hello everyone! (Assuming anyone is reading this...) This week I want to focus on the vibrant colors that are oh so popular this season. Spring fashion is widely known for the increased use of color, but this year designers are blinding us with punchy neons and saturated hues. I'm particularly loving the neon and neutral looks from Jil Sander and the sleek yet loud looks from Aquilano.Rimondi that I found on style.com. This trend is also popping up in makeup and accessories, from neon lips to richly dyed handbags, making the trend more accessible for those of us who can't rock full on Day-Glo. The makeup artists behind Marc by Marc Jacobs and Diane Von Furstenberg both sent their models down the runway with vivid lips and not much more, to avoid looking like a five-year-old playing with mommy's makeup. I am completely obsessed with the accessories in this trend. Burberry Prorsum did an excellent twist on the classic crossbody bag, and frankly I would kill for a pair of Diane Von Furstenberg's citrus Pandora espadrilles found on shopbop.com. These colors are reminding me of 80's new wave music and one of my personal heroes, Debbie Harry of Blondie. Thoroughly inspired, I think I will be workin' some neon pink lipstick today! Thanks for reading and enjoy the pics and whatnot...

Ana: Great topic, as you clearly love fashion and really seem to know your stuff. What you've posted is engaging, fun and well written. However, you need to re-read the instructions for the assignment and make sure you include other sources in your posts. You refer ot style.com, but there's no link. Be sure to include links next time. Also, don't write your post without paragraph breaks--hard to read. Assume you have readers out there. People will eventually find your blog, and I encourage you to tell your friends to have a look and to post comments. Score = 7.5
