Color Crush: Petal Pink Style for Spring!

Happy Humpday! I am over at MyFriendBettySays.com today with a stylish post about the sweet petal pink color.

Black, White & Some Color Block Style!

Color block is not going away anytime soon. Actually, let me correct myself, it's always been part of fashion it just became very popular when the word color block started being used to describe the style and all of a sudden, everything was color block'd! So I had to pick my favorite color combo, black and white, for today's feature. Warning: Not all items are following the color block definition but they are  inspired by the two color combination.

Polka Dot Shirt :: Sandals :: Bangle :: Earrings :: Scarf :: Purse 

I often start a blog post because one item on the board inspired it and for this one I will tell you that it was the +Madewell sandal which, by the way, also comes in nude and black. Absolutely love it!! #SpringMustHave ;) 

So tell me, what is your favorite color block combo?

Radiant Orchid: The Plant!

Welcome to the first color post of 2014! Last year, I picked a new color each month and featured weekly posts. This year I will be trying something different. Each month I will be using Pantone's color of the year for a monthly Radiant Orchid post...let's see how creative I get in 12 months. ;)

Starting with:

The orchid plant has one of the most beautiful and elegant flowers. It often makes a perfect gift, so when in doubt, gift an orchid. My favorites are the white ones but they are all beautiful. Take a look at my beautiful plant from last year.

The photograph above, by Terence Davis (buy here,) is a perfect example of the Radiant Orchid color of the month with it's purple, fuchsia and pink tones. 

The +Pantone color is described as an expressive, creative and embracing purple—one that draws you in with its beguiling charm. The color transmits joy, love and health. Who wouldn't want to be surrounded by all that?! I definitely would so stay tuned for more Radiant Orchid posts. 

What are your thoughts on Pantone's color of the year?

White :: December's Color of the Month

Welcome to December! White is 2013's last color of the month. This color is often associated with innocence, perfection, the good, honesty, cleanliness, the beginning, the new, neutrality, lightness, and exactitude. That's how it's defined in Wikipedia and I how I wish to end 2013 and begin the new year, surrounded by peace, good, and with a clear list of goals to achieve in 2014.

For now, I'll start with my usual color board on Pinterest. Follow the White Board for daily white inspiration in December.

Brown :: November's Color of the Month

I have not forgotten. It's here! November's color of the month is brown. A color of Fall that makes us feel warm. It's the color of coffee, chocolate, earth, some eyes, hair and skin tones. As usual, I started my Brown Pinterest Board and hope you'll pin along with me.

Some people have a preference for black over brown and vice versa but I love mixing both colors. Today I am wearing a LBD, black tights and brown boots. How about you? Do you have a preference for black or brown? Let me know in a comment.

Have you been following my Red posts this September. Here's a recap: RED Pinterest board, Red style, red nails and today is all about home. Most of my selection below is from +IKEA except for the +Valspar Paint color in Freshest Strawberry (sounds delicious!) and the Keep Calm poster that I found on +Amazon.com. Scroll down for links and let me know if you've ever tried red walls or accessories at home. Do you like or dislike the color? I personally think it's a great color for details. Cheers!

Red style

I am dedicating today's red post to fashion because it's been all over the web for NYFW. The proof? Here, here and here! Details can make any simple outfit stand out so whether you decide to use red to highlight your lips, shoes, or hair, I am sure it will be a great choice. Check out my red picks below. I own the J.Crew Minnie pant in black and must say they are one of my favorites for work or as a casual pant - really comfortable.

September is Hot!

Hi there! I've been sneaking September's color of the month in most of my latest posts. Can you guess?... No idea? Remember my red nails (here) and in the plaid shirts (here).

Now, let's have the RED talk. People who wear the color is thought to be sexy whether they are wearing a red dress, lipstick, nails, etc... It's a bold color for home decor (red walls) and most of all, it's romantic in nature (red roses.)

I decided to create a RED board in Pinterest and I just have to say that it's beautiful! Click HERE to view all pins and make sure to follow me on Pinterest.com/CheersCristalia for more RED! ;)

Tangerine Tango

Tangerine is color of the month at CheersCristalia.com and although I mentioned in my first tangerine post (here) that I didn't like +Pantone 's Tangerine Tango I thought it deserved it's own post because the color did make it to color of the year in 2012.

The Executive Director at Pantone's Color Institute, Leatrice Eiseman, described the color as sophisticated, dramatic and seductive. I must say that Tango as a dance form is all of those exciting words but I'm not so sure about tangerine. Tangerine is just delicious to me. ;) 

Here are some Tangerine Tango items from Pantone's Shop that might inspire you. Note that they all come in other colors. Cheers!

Tangerine Fabrics: Madeline Weinrib at ABC Carpet & Home

Tangerine is color of the month so instead of going with the regular home decor post I thought I should share my new online discovery at ABC Carpet & Home, Madeline Weinrib's fabric collection.

My favorite is the Stella pattern (Number 5) but here are the links to my top 5 on the site that also come in more colors.  1 :: 2 :: 3 :: 4 :: 5

Tangerine nails...with Orange Crush by Joe Fresh

Meet "Orange Crush." I was waiting to share this precious nail polish for when I featured tangerine as a monthly color and I am super glad it's here!

I used Essie Feed me as a base coat but just because I ran out of my magic nail potion Quimica Alemana (I truly advise this product to anyone who wants to grow long beautiful nails.) For the tangerine color I used Orange Crush from Joe Fresh. I got it on sale many months ago but you can find similar colors here, here, and here. 

If you can find a Joe Fresh store near you, please visit their beauty section. The nail polish is small (cute) size and the brush is tiny and makes it super easy for me to apply perfect coats. This is the only color I own from them but would definitely buy other colors in the future. BTW, I just looked at their website and see a few nice colors that couldn't hurt my collection. ;)

The one thing I must say is that this color is a little bit sheer and I had to apply 3 coats but in the end it looks perfect. Love and cheers!

Welcome August!...Color, Music and a Fashionable post!!! ♪♫

♪Tell 'em that it’s my birthday, tell 'em that it's my birthday when I party like that!♪

The year is flyyyying, it's already August, and I didn't even realize it until this morning so today, I have - something different than what I had originally planned - music and tangerine fashion post.

Here's why:

• August is my birthday month and there is a new AWESOME birthday song that I want to share!
• Need to introduce a monthly color.
• A fashion post is already due in this space.

I'll be turning 27 at the end of this month. Although I like to party, I don't really like to go dancing on my birthday or when the day gets closer I decide that I don't feel like partying, maybe a dinner or something relaxing to enjoy my day is much better. I would love to hear your suggestions for this year so tell he how you like to celebrate your birthday in a comment.

Moving on to Tangerine, the color of the month that some might call orange but I want to call it tangerine because it feels sexy-er or at least less rough than ooorange. It's not tangerine tango like Pantone's 2012 color of the year, it's simply tangerine.

Enjoy these tasty tangerine fashion items and don't forget to listen to the Birthday song at the bottom of this post.

Studs  \  Dress  \  Heels  \  Top  \  Short  \  Sandal




I'd love to hear how you party on your birthday so please post your birthday celebration ideas in a comment. Love & cheers!

A Royal Style Talk...

Let’s have a Royal talk! You probably know by now that the Royal baby is a boy. The child hasn't been named yet but we'll hear about that soon...and every little boy born after the #royalbaby will be named like him. Hah! You know it's the truth. Lets just wait and continue the talk about Kate Middleton's dress. We all love Kate's style and today, she wore a blue polka dot dress to introduce the Royal Baby. Some say it's an ode to Princess Diana who had a similar outfit when Prince William was presented to the world. I think she looked adorable and even though her baby belly is still there, every women would love to look as radiant as Kate when heading home from the hospital.

I thought we might want to wear blue dresses to work, weekend or to introduce our own royal baby to the world so, I picked out 3 styles to love.

Did you wear a special outfit when heading out of the hospital? I have no experience in the area so would love to hear your thoughts. Also, don't forget to mention your favorite dress in a comment. Cheers!
