You’re probably already aware that we are totally obsessed with Pinterest! I always love to keep a cute and comfortable pair of flats at the office when my feet need a break. These suede oxfords from Madewell are the perfect shoes your feet will want to slip into!

The knuckle clutch has been a staple of the house of Alexander McQueen and the trend is slowly picking up steam. Kait Hunter of the Hunter Style has found five different variations of the iconic clutch at different price points. Check out her latest post now!

It’s almost laundry day, so all you have left in your closet is a plain tshirt and solid-colored pants. Not to worry, though, if you’ve hopped on this great new trend: collar necklaces (or chokers). These big-statement necklaces can spice up any otherwise dull outfit.

You can pick up collar necklaces anywhere from H&M to Neiman Marcus. Check out our favorite splurge-worthy choker below, the Aesa ribbon collar torque with pearls, $1265.

Trend Alert: Colorblocking

Nope, we’re not talking about making things out of colorful toy blocks. Colorblocking is in, and it’s all about fashion.

 Colorblocking means pairing two or more brightly-colored solid pieces of clothing for visual effect. For example, one of the girls around the CakeStyle office is wearing magenta pants and a bright orange sweater today, and it’s a great colorblocking look!

 All you need is a few of your summer pieces (maybe that bright yellow cardigan, cerulean t-shirt, and cranberry skirt) to wear together to get in on this fun winter trend. It’s a great way to keep your wintry days from getting dull with all those dark colors and neutrals, plus you can re-use the great pieces you wore all summer – no need to put those away in storage, thanks to colorblocking!

Trend Alert: Magnetic Nail Polish

One of my nail-polish-obsessed friends showed me this new trend a couple of weeks ago and I thought you CakeStylers might enjoy it too.

It’s magnetic nail polish. All you have to do is paint a generous layer of this special polish on each nail (you can get a bottle at Sephora, among other places – several brands are doing this now) and hold the magnet over it while the polish dries, doing one nail at a time. It’s a little time-consuming, but you only need one coat, and it looks like you spent hours meticulously curating those silvery stripes. Only you’ll know that it took you all of 15 minutes.

Here’s an instructional YouTube video if you want more information. There are also instructions on the bottle. Enjoy! : )
