Holiday thanks

As the clock ticks down around the world for Christmas I wanted to send out a special holiday thanks blog to you all!

I appreciate each and every one of you that have supported hinchology and all it has to offer! Whether it’s laughing with or at me, lol when I do a voice over, finding thrills in my frills, so not trying to rhyme, or maybe it’s the truth in my words of life lessons learned.

So I wanted to take a moment and say THANK YOU! From the bottom of my heart thank you for accepting me for me! For all my quirks, for all my sparkle, all my color pops!

So this blog is a thank you note to my fam, and a photo dump for the holidays! It’s last minute but that’s OK! Let’s shop your closet!! Look for like colors in pieces you already have in your closet or similar combinations that can covert into a new style same color pallet!

Let’s start with comfy cozy! Jeans, pleather leggings, ski sweaters and kimonos all the way! Dress them up a little with a pleated skirt. Have fun with metallics and details!

Don’t forget to add in some sparkle and metallics. There’s no right or wrong way!

Last but not least get your prints on! Plaid on plaid, polka dots, don’t stop there play and have fun! If it makes YOU feel good then that’s what to wear!

When pairing prints remember these few rules of thumb, go big and small, matchy matchy or geometric and organic!

Cheers to dressing in what you want and a very happy holiday!

Until next style,

Xoxo,

Nicole

Falling for Bows

This weeks focus will be dedicated to Bows, bows and more bows!!! I have always thought of this look as chic and sophisticated with a Chanel vibe!! Bows can be added to any part of your outfit!! I just adore when it’s around the collar with a brooch!! The look may be an oldie but it’s always a goodie!! Add it to your own unique style and be a part of this chic fall trend!

Bow print mixing fun!….You could go the safe route and pair it with a solid but why…live a little!! This bow animal print blouse from Target would pair wonderfully with a larger animal print pant or skirt!! Or pair it with a popping fall color like hot pink or marigold. (Fall color trend blog post coming soon…stay tuned!)

Matching bows from the print in a blouse creates a luxe look. This floral blouse at Chic me would be an easy way to incorporate a trend AND add a staple for seasons to come!!

Denim can be found in everyone’s fall wardrobe, heck it’s in every seasons wardrobe! What better than to pair an oversized organza plaid bow with a jean dress! My blouse from Nordstrom by Halogen x Atlantic-Pacific collection is from last fall 2019 collection. Blair Eadie, creator of Atlantic-Pacific, announced on social media she will be having a fall collection with Nordstrom for 2020, I CAN”T wait!!!!! Remember the focus is the bow so go for nude accessories!

Now try pairing the opposite!! A solid bow blouse with plaid suit, which happens to be vintage. I adore pulling colors from the stripes in the plaid. Not to mention that mint is trending! Another fantastic bow blouse from the Nordstrom Halogen x Atlantic-Pacifitic spring collection 2020! This Ebay mint green bow blouse is available and at a great price!! On an accessory side note I am currently obsessing over this small Gucci marmont crossbody in water green!!

DIY bows are always creative and fun ways to add a finished look. Ribbons that once adorned a favorite brand gift box now wrap around your style. Any collar shirt will work. Here is an example of what you can find on ebay for ribbon!

Having a side bow creates a new age chic head turner. My organza bow blouse from Zara is similar to this New York and company organza fun!! This look comes with all the drama that a girl needs to show she means business!

Repurposing straps that should go around your shoulders and tying them around your neck will create an added texture!! This black polka dot dress is an easier way to achieve this look and how fantastic are the polka dots!!?? Get creative in your wardrobe!! Look at styling like a treasure hunt, see a piece in a new look or way to wear it!!

Sooooo will you be rocking the bow trend this fall?

Feel inspired to help others create their own unique style? #getahinch and tag me @hincology

Until next style!!
