Trend Alert: Colored Dial Watches

I'm loving the new trend of watches with a colored dial. Whether it's a rose gold, silver or gold band, the pop of color from the dial is unexpected, yet super chic. I like the bright colors, like cobalt blue, teal and fuchsia as opposed to the more neutral colors like white or navy blue. 

The trend the past few years has been colored watches, band and everything, but the colored dial with a neutral band allows for a more versatile accessory.

Trend Alert: Gold-Plated Accessories

Something that I've seen popping up a lot lately are gold-plated accessories, like jewlery, handbags, shoes  and belts. The little touch of shiny gold adds an interesting and luxe feel to your basics and you can mix and match them with tons of different outfits. 

Lupita Nyong'o rocked a gold-plated belt over her emerald green Dior Couture gown at the BAFTA Awards in February. 

One celebrity who has been rocking the gold plated belt long before it became a trend is Kim Kardashian. She wears them everywhere from red carpet events to the airport and knows just how versatile this simple accessory can be. 

Check out the affordable gold-plated accessories below. The wedges are my favorite!

1. Forever 21 Luxe Wedge Sandals - $36.80

2. Roxx Metal Plate Clutch in Salmon - $19.99

3. ASOS Leather Purse with Metal Frame Plate - $41.39

4. Haute & Rebellious Oversize Gold Plated Belt - $48

Trend Alert: Patterns from NYFW 2013

Fashion Week is coming to an end, but I've been catching up on the runway looks from the comfort of my own room. I've been noticing some trends (which you'll see in my following posts), but one of my favorites is patterns. My favorite patterns designer from this past week was by far Mara Hoffman (photos above). I loved all the mixed colors and tribal prints and I would wear any of those pieces in a heartbeat! 

Other patterns designers included Carolina Herrera, Nicole Miller, Tanya Taylor and Vivienne Tam. Check out some patterned highlights from their runway shows below!
