Trend Spotting: Forget the winter blues, shocking yellow is taking over Hollywood
Paula Patton recently shined at the golden globes in shocking yellow
Last week’s red carpet proved that Hollywood was foregoing winter and heading straight for spring. From the range of bold colors that took over the carpet, one would never guess that we were in the throes of winter. One color in particular that the stars can’t seem to get enough of is shocking yellow. This color was huge over the summer and continues to gain steam on the carpet –with no signs of slowing down. From neon shades to sequin embellished looks, color blocked pieces and elegant gowns, there’s nothing mellow about this season’s yellow. Based on what we’ve seen on the spring runways plus the already active awards season, get ready to see more of this gorgeous, stand out color. (more…)

Style Pick – Going 70s chic in wide leg pants
Heather Locklear, Elle McPherson and January Jones stay stylish in wide leg jeans.
Wide leg pants have been elongating legs since the 70s. There’s an effortless “chic” about this style that allows women to look elegant without sacrificing any of their femininity. Part of the perks of this cut is that it makes you feel tall and lean. Stars like Elle McPherson, Jessica Alba, Penelope Cruz, January Jones and Katie Holmes who all range from super petite to super tall have all rocked this style. This shows that most women can get away with it, it’s just about finding the right material, length, width and fit.
Even pregnant women can look fabulous in this cut. Jessica Alba looked uber chic while running errands in wide leg jeans and a blazer.
January Jones goes casual chic in stripes and her favorite wide leg denim pants.
Katie Holmes plays up her tall frame in wide leg Max Mara trousers and double breasted jacket.
Clearly the cut works for her - Here's Holmes again in wide leg jeans and an embellished Isabel Marant jacket.
Penelope Cruz cuffs her wide leg jeans.
Glee's Jayma Mays in High-Waisted Wide leg J Brand Denim.
This cut has also been incorporated into one of summer’s hottest trends – jumpsuits.

Rosie Huntington Whiteley in a wide leg Michael Kors jumpsuit.
Keep in mind - There is such a thing as too much fabric and too much width especially if you’re petite. This cut like I mentioned earlier is meant to make you taller and leaner, not shrink you. Hilary Duff’s look below is a prime example of how not to wear wide leg pants.
Hilary Duff's wide leg trousers unfortunately have too much material and do absolutely nothing for the expectant actress. They distort her figure and instead of looking stylish, they look clownish.
Test driving this style…
As a tall girl, it’s always been a bit difficult for me to find jeans with inseams that work for me, so wide leg denim pants have been my BFFs for a long time. Here’s one of my favorite dark blue wide legs paired with a white v-neck and a double breasted blazer.
