Fashion Trends - Color Blocking No 2

Good Morning my friends!

Friday is already here!!! wow...time goes by so fast sometimes! Today there are two different posts in my blog since Fashion Trends are up and also my first blog hop as a co-host! For the second one, I am really honored and it will be a great experience to join this party and meet other bloggers!

So lets see... on previous week my friend Vasso from PinezaJewelry started a beautiful Fashion Trends post for Color Blocking. She also shared with us a few tips about it. I decided to continue with this topic also today, but I have a common color for my three outfits...and this is orange! Maybe one of the greatest colors for this period but it is also a beautiful color for Autumn...or Spring...even for winter! 

A beautiful idea for your Friday exodus is always an outfit with two bright colors. Use a monochrome dress and combine it with also monochrome accessories from another bright color...Monaco Blue for example!

1.Dress 2.Earrings 3.Bracelet 4.Shoes

Floral is always in fashion, so a beautiful maxi dress with  big and bold print can be perfect for a romantic outfit that actually is not that romantic... you will definitely be the center of the party! Use accessories of the floral print's color and if you want to give a spark in your appearence, use them in neon or with stardust shades.

1.Earrings 2.Bracelet

For a more casual appearance that at the same time remains elegant and with a romantic tone, you may use monochrome cloths and accessories, not necessary in the same colors. Just keep in mind not to use more than three colors  if you do not want your outfit to became very "bold". Use a parse that will combine all the three colors and it will definitely bring a hippie and unique note in your appearance! 

1.Ring 2.Necklace 3.Earrings

Have a wonderful Friday and an amazing weekend!!!!

Fashion Trends - Color Blocking

Hello my friends!

How was your week? Friday today and I hope you will have a wonderful Friday Night exodus and a great Saturday one. 

For this week's post I have a great help (actually the whole text is written by her) from my friend Vasso from PinezaJewelry. Well...actually this Color blocking is something that Vasso knows very well... I don't! hahaha

So lets start....

One of the most popular fashion trends in last years is color blocking. Color blocking trend is everywhere now, from red carpet events and fashion editorials to the street style and our favorite stores.

Choose the right color combinations and get the maximum effect. Be self-confident and never feel afraid to show off your style imagination and mood. However, do not overdo it, as I use to recommend almost in every trend report.

1.JoozieCotton 2.AliquidTextileJewels 3.FloraBeauty 4.goodrun

Moreover, although it seems to be easy combining different colors in our outfits, we have to keep in mind some tips:

1. Most of my reads about color blocking suggest us to follow the rule of the “color wheel”.

2. Use solid colours. You’re already bold with color blocking. Hoewever, if you like to add a pattern while colorblocking, try to keep this to the minimum.

1.Duck Earrings 2.Bracelet 3.Scarf

3. Try to play within the range of three colors in one outfit . The fourth one will look  too much.!

4. Be aware of tone! neons go well with neons, while pastels with pastel hues.

1.Dangle Earrings 2.Bracelet 3.Post Earrings 4.Bag 4.Garland

5. Accessorize... You do not want to wear clothing which is too bright? Wear just one or two accessories in colors that are striking.

6. Incorporate neutrals. Wear the classic white t-shirt with bold pants or a skirt  and a contrasting blazer!

Create amazing combinations and have a memorable weekend! Just do not forget our Giveaway! Finally  for more Friday night Outfit suggestions, just visit Estella's blog!

summer-sea necklace

I tried to figure out what to say about Triada, but to be honest this was something difficult to do. After all what can anyone say about her creations? Visit her collection and you will find out that every single jewel has a story behind it, a dream, a wish and last but not least a talented person to express. To be honest, one other thing I love in her creations are the colors! They definitely make my day!!!!

But let's stop talking and let meet her. Please let me introduce you Triada!!!

*****************************************
People say that everyone has a story to tell about his family’s past. Even though he hasn’t lived any of these different stories, they seem to define him, because all this combines up to a common point- him and his very own special story.

Pet goldfish earrings

 My grandfathers and grandmothers were people that they left their birthplaces and lived to several other places and conditions of life. That made them creative. One of them was a great influence on me. He was so creative that he recycled, combined and transformed the most unexpected things into a variety of useful constructions or decorative objects. My parents are creative too and support handmade as a way of life. When I was a child, they were always supporting and encouraging whenever I was trying to make something on my own.

Copper butterfly long necklace

I’m a jewelry collector. My collection consists of a variety of pieces; plastic, felt, vintage, polymer clay, metallic, leather, recycled materials ect. Every piece is precious to me. When I find something new I always get excited and want to have it. That’s why I started making jewelry. I wanted to make things that I‘ve imagined or I couldn’t afford.

Coral heart stud earrings

I opened my Etsy shop about 1 ½ year ago and I’m glad I did. I met some nice and intelligent people and I became more creative. In the future, I would like to learn more about jewelry making techniques, especially silversmith, which is a part I have no knowledge about. 

dragonfly bracelet

Supporting handmade is a life style. You get something unique and well made that tells a story. The first sentence of this story is simple; a person made this with fantasy, creativity and love. The rest is yours, because its purpose, the way you use it, the person who is it for and finally the passing of time make it to get a special meaning.
