4 Days Out

Making our lists and checking it twice!

We are days away from the show and these next few days are when it all comes together.

Today we styled our favorite outfits with our models, and made many to do lists.. we are getting extremely excited! but also feeling the pressure. There is still a lot to do and we will be showing you all the happenings behind the scenes till our big debut!

What will be your favorite spring look from Mad About Style?

Trending Tangerine

If you haven't already been blinded by the neons and bright hues of fashion this spring season then let us formally introduce you to one of the MANY intense shades of summer, Tangerine.

As Pantone dubbed this hue thee color of the year, we are so excited to have Tangerine be a part of our wardrobe and in this case, our lips!

After some time you may glance over at your closet and notice an overload of neutrals. What a better way to easily incorporate fun, bright, trending colors into your look by swiping on some lipstick!

If you decide to try this color on for size, we suggest keeping makeup to a minimum (another popular look this season) with barely there mascara and foundation with a light brush of blush. Your lips then becoming the focal point!

If you find orange to be TOO forward for your comfort level, fuchsia and red lips are other great options for this season.

Fashion + Diabetes

Kick off Spring with us next Thursday April 12th with our Colour Your Closet 2012 Spring Fashion Show dedicated to support those living with diabetes. Come visit us at the Boutique to purchase your tickets or at one of the various locations mentioned in the invitation.

Hope to see you all there!

BEST DRESSED

Top 5

What a glamourous evening in Hollywood . Everything old is new again, in movies & in the fashion. We loved the 'old hollywood glam' look that most of the stars chose. Color blocking, 1940' hair and Peplums were huge on the red carpet. The gorgeous shine to Stacy Keibler's Marchesa dress was right on trend with what we will be seeing for spring 2012.

Did you notice all the white? Absolutely stunning on Gwyneth Paltrow (Tom Ford Collection) & Milla Jovovich (Elie Saab).

The stars truly owned the red carpet last night.

Trend Report: Color Blocking

A trend that we've seen in previous seasons is back and brighter then ever. This spring is all about Color. It's the perfect season to embrace mixing and matching your favourite bright shades.

How to wear it: Think shades in similar color palettes. Our favourite combo right now is mixing orange and pink ( best dressed woman on our previous buy was seen wearing coral jeans, pink blouse and a yellow statement necklace). Never mix more then 3 colors as it has a tendency to break up your body, the goal is still to create a long lean look. Solid bold colors are the best way to keep this look classic yet fun. Keep your shoes solid and why not try this seasons must have nude pump to bring in some neutral tones.

Most importantly...just have fun with color this spring!

We fell head over heels for this season's must have Celine Luggage Tote. It is the perfect size for every day carrying all the essentials like your ipad & a stack of this month's fashion magazines!

We searched high and low to find an inspired by version in a fantastic price point.......Check out the photos below with our top 3 picks that just arrived in store!

JET SETTING

It's that time of year where we escape the cold of our winter climates and jet off to a tropical land far far away. If your anything like us it's hard to decide exactly what to pack. It always seems as if we pack to much and end up wearing half of our options. But that's just it you still need options. Maybe your having a romantic dinner on the beach, taking salsa lessons in your resort, or renting a scooter and exploring the island you still need choices for every occasion.
