Now Trending....2013

FINALLY! With all the award shows now behind us -- all the fashion glitz, glitches and glamour tried and judged....it is now time to focus on the real world. I mean, it was nice seeing all the latest and greatest designs and all the stars wearing them (although styled) either very well or not so well at all. And I need to mention that the Grammy Awards BORED ME, FASHIONABLY. That was the show that could have just aired online and not wasted any network time slots (just saying). I really don't watch to see who has won. I watch the red carpet. I admit, I'm a bit self-centered right now. I am ready to think about Spring and what I need to add to my personal wardrobe! No one else really matters right now - just my clothing obsession! I normally don't follow trends but I do notice what is trending in stores and on websites. When I do have time to catch a runway video or Fashion Police, I pick up on the newest and hottest. I've decided muted pinks and tangerine are my new fave colors - -they look nice on just about anyone's skin but especially on my dark skin. I'm wearing a muted pink top today as a matter of fact *pats self on back*! My upcoming Fashion Show "IN THOSE JEANS; Fashion for Autism", will feature some bold colors, prints and contrasting. These are all the latest in runway trends that I so happened to arrange by accident -- I am good like that! I also have some sheer and some structured pieces in the mix with a tiny bit of pattern. I mixed it up quite a bit. And that is the art and beauty of Spring 2013. Mixing, matching, contrasting.... Suits are still fierce this spring and Asian inspired ensembles in beautiful patterns and collages. I found you some nice examples -- my fave picks from some of my fave designers straight from the runway. Now Trending....2013: Checkout the latest from the runway - March 9 (from 4pm - 7pm) I have this little event coming up called SUCCESS & EMPOWERMENT. I rented out a little space in the Middle East Restaurant in Cambridge's Central Square (770 Massachusetts Ave) and invited some select people to come take part in this unique mixer. I run Nilanjo! Fashion Entertainment and it is important that in addition to fashion events we produce events that represent our motto: Encouragement. Empowerment. Inspiration.
