Tr3ndy

I enjoy a good pop of neon here and there. I'm more into the neon accessories than I am neon clothing -- stuff hurts your eyes if you look at it for more than 3 seconds. Except I'm allowing myself the pair of bright booger-green BDG shorts -- since I'm short there's less of a chance that the general population's eyes will linger in that direction anyway.

White-and-neon is an attractive combo for summer. I want those Nordstrom wedges pretty badly, and they're not they're not a bad price point, unlike the Dannijo necklace and Balenciaga bag, neither of which my parents would ever think I deserved as graduation presents.

Take it or leave it advice: wear neon while you can, but keep it confined to accessories and bling during the cooler months, unless you're lucky and live in Hawaii or some amaze paradise like it.

Met Ballers

There seemed to be a lot of orange and yellow on the Met Gala red carpet this year -- can you say color clash? I'm not a huge fan of these colors, but in some cases it worked. January Jones looked stunning in her sunshine-y Atelier Versace gown. I think I'd narrow my favorites down to Camilla Belle in a refined flapper-esque Ralph Lauren Collection creation, Kate Bosworth's fringe-fest Prada dress, and Candice Swanepoel's electric blue getup. I love the refined 30's flapper look, plus it helps that Camilla is a bombshell. Last but not least, Tim Tebow proved he could be dapper off the football field. Although he looks like he's about to catch a football in the picture....
