First Lady Inauguration Style!

2013-01-18T13:23:00.001-08:00

What will The First Lady Michelle Obama wear for Inauguration? It is every fashion designers dream to have the privilege to dress the first family, so who will take the honor? It will remain a big secret until Inauguration night! Our friends at WWD collaged from various designers whom they asked to propose an idea for the big night. Just take a look at these exclusive sketches. What is your favorite proposed look for Mrs. Obama, Malia and Sasha?

WWD reported that nearly 20 designers are believed to have sent clothes for this weekend’s festivities in response to requests from East Wing staffers. Those names include Michael Kors, Derek Lam, Naeem Khan, Marchesa’s Georgina Chapman and Keren Craig, Prabal Gurung, Jason Wu, Bibhu Mohapatra, Thakoon Panichgul, Tracy Reese, Chris Benz, Tory Burch, Narciso Rodriguez, Zac Posen, Maria Cornejo, Thom Browne, Barbara Tfank and Laura Smalls. Odds are the first eight companies on that list are the more likely contenders to design the First Lady’s gown, but there very well may be other candidates.

While a few fashion insiders alluded to signed confidentiality agreements, one or two went so far as to refer to Mrs. O as “a client.” All of the industry sources contacted by WWD said they — like the rest of America — will not know what the First Lady decides on until she steps out for the Commander in Chief’s Inaugural Ball Monday night. That's it for now! Don't forget with Palette 2 Palate color is in all year round!

Coral Melon

2011-08-03T22:42:00.000-07:00

Coral, Cool, and Classy are the 3 C's you must have in your closet this summer. But if you're going to pull off that cool and classy melon shade, you have to be in a dreamy state of mind. This elegant hue makes a woman feel sophisticated and vibrant. With the sun beaming on us we have to find ways to stay cool while looking fabulous. Here are some fresh fashions that will keep your body temperature down but still make you look hot! For this amazing coral melon trend, look for light fabrics like chiffon. How about this Haute Hippie cowl neck blouse. Another great fabric that will help you stay cool is cotton, so here is a must have lightweight cotton dress with a cute textured neckline. At the bottom of it, you'll find a ruffled hem by Elizabeth and James. This dress is to cute for words.

Accessories are so fun anytime of the year especially in the summer when you get to show off so many colors. Why not coral melon? If you're out and about enjoying your local summer concert series at the park in your neck of the woods, wrap this ultraweight wrap in ultrasoft cashmere from "Eyelash" around your neck. Add some colored stone bangles like these by Cara. Also try these floral marquis stone beautiful teardrop earnings to add the right shimmer to that evening out under the stars.

And of course if your are wearing the cool coral shades you should be eating them as well. Cantaloupe provides more beta-carotene than any other melon. It's A-list benefits are due to Vitamin A which helps maintain good vision, fight infection, support cell growth and of course keep skin healthy. We know that is so important for us divas! Here's a quick tip as you enjoy this delicious fruit: Cantaloupe's rough surface makes it susceptible to bacterial contamination. But ladies I got you, and did some research for you all. USDA scientists also give a few helpful hints for us to eat this fruit and put the worries away. Placing a cantaloupe in hot water at 172 degrees Fahrenheit for three minutes can significantly reduce levels of harmful bacteria without compromising fruit quality. To cool off sometimes, I like drinking some cantaloupe water, otherwise known in Mexico as Aqua fresca de Melon. Just peel and chop cantaloupe, put it into the blender with ice and H20 and blend away. If the cantaloupe is ripe you don't need to add sugar, but tasteit, and if needed add a dash of sugar and 1/2 lime for a more tangy twist.

Until next time ladies! As for me, I am here chilling with my Aqua fresca de Melon. Aaahh so fresh and so cool!

Don't forget with Palette 2 Palate color is in all year 'round!

Also, Ladies, make sure you don't walk out of the house before you accessorize yourself. This season there are a ton of fun pieces just like this chic wood bangle which adds a great finishing touch to your outfit. Don't forget to love your feet as well this season and step out in style with wedges. They are all the rage.

Since you're wearing electric orange, you should also electrify your dinner table with the same color! Eat naturally sweet, crunchy and very healthy carrots. Easter may have just passed, but don't pass up the bunny's favorite super food! One cup of chopped carrots holds more than 400 percent of your recommended daily value of Vitamin A when absorbed by the body. This delicious root vegetable is filled with plant pigments called carotenoids, including beta carotene, which is good for eyesight, skin and growth. It's also a great source of Fiber,Vitamin C and Potassium which are all very important for your body's metabolism. Carrots are going to be part of my diet this spring because they're also low in fat which will help me get into all my spring fashions. One more thing, Ladies...carrots provide their maximum benefits when eaten raw. Try them in all different shades!

That's it for now. Don't forget with Palette 2 Palate color is in all year 'round!

Lucky Green

2011-03-13T15:21:00.000-07:00

Spring is around the corner, so it's the perfect time to bring out the green you've been holding back in your closet. Green is the color of life, nature, growth, and renewal. So if you're planning to go out this spring and enjoy nature, here's a light silk, feather fan green print dress you can wear that may turn any haters green with envy. But wait, you, have haters? Never! Prints are hot right now, so don't be shy. Step out boldly with this great little print.

On the other hand, be careful you don't cause an accident when the light turns green if you're crossing the street in this simple, but elegant solid green dress that you can rock all spring long. It's called a fountain of youth dress, maybe because of the playful bow in the back, and the cutaway shoulders. Talk about finding the pot of gold at the end of the rainbow! This timeless dress is something you can recycle from year to year. This is how WE go green.

Accessories can light up any outfit you're wearing this St. Patrick's Day. Lucky for you, we found this amazing Watercolor Spots scarf from Nordstrom that looks nature-inspired. You won't have to worry about getting pinched if you left the green clothes at home. Just wave around this little four leaf clover ring. Like the dress, this is also a timeless classic you can wear anytime. And you never know, it could bring you luck all year long. Last but not least, check out this Michael Kors Santorini Wicker Clutch, one of the cutest clutches I've seen in a long time. The wicker can give you a "wicked" cool look to match your favorite green styles this spring.

Your mom never lied when she told you to eat your veggies. Especially the green ones, like Brussels Sprouts! Brussels Sprouts belong to the cabbage family, which means they're off the charts in Vitamin K, the blood clotting vitamin. They also help keep inflammation down, and they're good for your heart! They're also high in Vitamin C, which we know keeps our immune system strong and healthy.

That's it for now. Don't forget, with Palette 2 Palate, color is in all year 'round!

Passion Fire Pink!

2011-02-11T16:38:00.000-08:00

The month of love, friendship and roses is here! Are you ready to express your true feelings to that special Valentine? Here at Palette 2 Palate we're sharing our love for you by dressing you in pink. Pink roses symbolize love, gratitude and appreciation. So appreciate yourself with different shades of pink, including this darker shade we like to call Passion fire pink. Be passionate about yourself, while strutting around town in this hot INC International Concept empire waist jersey knit dress. You can dress it down or jazz it up on your Valentine date!

If your searching for that sweet but elegant look that can rock any pair of jeans, slacks, or skirt try this flirty, ruffled Rebecca Taylor Fairy Tale layered silk top. You're date will be glad he bought you roses once he sees you in it. But just in case he's a forgetful, hopeless, well, you know, GUY, make sure you provide roses for yourself with this Give Hope Enamel Necklace from White House Black Market. Don't give up on hope that he'll come around. But while you wait, you can at least give hope to someone suffering from Breast Cancer when you buy this gorgeous pearl and rose necklace. The piece is part of a special collection in honor of breast cancer awareness month.

And of course if you wear pink then you should be eating pink stuff! I found this great exotic fruit to share with you, Ladies.... Dragon Fruit! This amazing fruit goes from a beautiful, bright pink to fiery red, with green tips overlapping scales on the outside. The inside is very unique and can be really colorful going from white to a very pinkish red. It has hundreds of tiny seeds and tastes sweet and juicy, very similar to a kiwi. Dragon Fruit is off the charts with Vitamin C which we all know is great for lovely skin and helps heal cuts and bruises, but sorry, probably not broken hearts. Dragon Fruit is very common in many Asian Countries, but here in the US you can probably find it at your local Farmer's Market, which you should be visiting already ladies, if you have been wearing what you eat! Another place to find Dragon Fruit is at your local Asian Supermarkets. That's where I found mine! You never know, shopping around in your cute pink outfits might help you snag Mr. Right!! And if not, that's ok, as long as you love yourself. Because we all know that's what counts. Right? Right?? Lots of love to ya, and don't forget with Palette 2 Palate color is in all year 'round.

Purple Presence

2011-01-19T17:31:00.000-08:00

Happy New Year Everybody!! This is a great time to reflect and start over. You are never too old to dream or set new goals! So one of your goals should definitely be to step out looking stunning. Start the New Year off boldly wearing purple. It's associated with royalty...and of course, you should treat yourself like a queen this year. It also symbolizes power, nobility, luxury, and ambition. And it conveys wealth and extravagance, wisdom, independence, and mystery.

Do you need any more reasons to wear this color? 'Cause I could go on. All, right I'll stop. But you get it, right? Like most of us, I'm sure your new year's resolutions include eating healthier and exercising more. Here are some great workout fashions from piperlime in purple that will keep you looking so chic for that morning run, yoga or that fast stroll. This cool shade will motivate everyone around you to keep up just to see you looking gorgeous.

You can also make some fashionable statements as you get ahead in the work place this year! As we mentioned earlier purple is a color of power and wisdom. This purple dress by Tahari has a great detailed diamond shape cutout neckline that will make everybody in the office begging for you to be their boss. Step out with great style in this chic purple wool empire waist coat great for that am power meeting or evening mixer. It has a vintage flair and it'll give you an elegant look that will draw people to you just to give you their business card.

Of course we all need to start the new year off with healthy food choices! You know we love to say "Wear what you eat!" So if you're wearing purple, then you're making a great choice by eating purple cabbage. The benefits of purple (aka red) cabbage are off the charts. Purple cabbage is a cruciferous vegetable (which just means it belongs in the same family as bok choy, broccoli, Brussels sprouts and cauliflower). These plants contain isothiocyanates(or antioxidants) and they neutralize free radicals, or bad cells, that may damage good cells. So, overall, this veggie can help boost you body's cancer-fighting properties. Cabbage is also a great source of Vitamin C to help keep your immune system strong and Vitamin K which we all need for proper bone growth. So Ladies, start adding this beautiful color to your lunch and dinner plate and also wear it!

As always, with Palette 2 Palate color is in all year 'round!

Jingle Red

2010-12-22T19:24:00.000-08:00

Christmas is finally here! It's one of my favorite times of the year. As I put red ornaments on the tree and decorate my home in poinsettias, I get excited about the color red all over again. Jingle Red, Jingle Red, Jingle all your Red! This is the perfect season to rock the red in your closet. If you don't have any, it's time to head out to the mall and buy a gift for yourself and make sure it's red, baby! How about this double breasted, military-inspired Calvin Klein Funnel Collared Coat? I love the details in the neck!

We've had some downright nasty, wet, chilly weather here in Southern California and all over the country lately, but you can stay warm in these sweaters that come in shades of Cranberry from Macys like this Jones New York Cashmere Cowl Neck and the Fever Cardigan. Oh! It's gettin' hot in here! But watch out...people might start cuddling up with you out of the blue!

If you're working right up to the holiday like I am, why not light up the office with this red-hot Viktoria Long Sleeve sweater dress with a twist knot neckline. You will definitely turn up the excitement at the company potluck. But if you're headed out to a Christmas cocktail party, you can start a chain reaction as all eyes turn to the details in this Suzi Chin Cap Sleeve Cocktail Dress with chain accents.

And since we've been helping you set trends all year 'round...one last thing to ask Santa for is one of the biggest trends of 2010. Bright red lips for glamour and feminine mystique. If you decide on a more neutral colored dress, the red lipstick will make your entire ensemble "pop." Speaking of "pop," superstar Katy Perry got a ticket from the fashion police by wearing Alberto Guardiani's black patent leather pumps with red lipstick heels all wrong! Don't get me wrong, I love Katy Perry, but maybe she should stick to what she normally gets right, wearing the red lipstick on her lips. Make sure you don't get cited too! Decorate your lips with fabulous bold, red lipstick from Nars Cosmetics. Log on to get step by step instructions. With the right red clothing and makeup, you may want to wrap yourself up as a Christmas gift for someone special. No red bow necessary.

Ok, Ladies, as always, wear what you eat! That means you must be eating Cranberries if you're dressing in cranberry red. Take advantage of the season and treat yourself with cranberry sauce, dried cranberries, or even cranberry juice. If you're having a urinary tract issue, your doctor will no doubt prescribe cranberry juice. That's because doctors know that cranberries are rich in citric and other acids, and Vitamin C. Cranberries have a natural astringent that makes urine acidic and prevents bacterial growth. Ewww. Ok, that's enough about that. But here's just one last fact...Cranberries are full of antioxidants that help with cancer prevention. They also prevent plaque from growing on your teeth. So, beautiful smile, beautiful red lips, and a beautiful cranberry-colored dress. What a winning combo to end the year. Be careful not to outdo Jesus as God's gift to earth this Christmas!

With that, we wish you Peace on Earth as we say Peace Out! Thanks for following us this year, stay tuned for next year's fabulo-city...yeah, we just made that up. And don't forget with Palette 2 Palate, color is in all year 'round.

Neutral Warmth

2010-12-08T20:12:00.000-08:00

You can step out boldly, wearing neutral colors this fall and winter. I can see you now flaunting this softly colored INC International Concepts Sweater, but making a strong statement with the faux fur. The neutrals can add some warmth even when temps fall below freezing. So I'm excited to add some great camel, caramel, and beige hues to your winter wardrobe. The lighter shades can also add a touch of elegance to other autumnal colors like tomato red, and of course burnt orange which we mentioned in our last post. Another great way to wear this color is by adding a delicate touch that can work from season to season like this Caslon Dolman Sleeve Fleece Cardigan to any of your favorite tops.

Of course you can always dress up your winter gear wearing neutral tones from "head to handbag" with this cute Faux Fur Beret from Nordstrom and this Kate Spade Satchel. Step out in style while Christmas shopping in these Macy's B Makowsky Boots.

And of course if you're wearing these wonderful earth tones, you should be eating them too! Remember Ladies, what's our favorite motto again? Wear what you eat! So eat walnuts this season. while wearing these amazing colors. Walnuts are high in Fiber, Antioxidants, Vitamins, Proteins and loaded with Omega 3 fatty acids (the good fats!). Omega 3 fatty acids have been shown to lower LDL, or bad cholesterol. This nut is also super healthy for your heart, and you can show your friends and family some love for braving the cold and joining your holiday celebration, by serving up a delicious salad sprinkled with roasted walnuts for a flavorful crunch. You can also add them to some oatmeal or grab a handful of them for a healthy protein-rich snack. With all the errands you have to run this holiday season, don't go nuts, eat 'em! Hey, get your head out of the gutter! And don't forget with Palette 2 Palate color is in all year 'round!
