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

Fringe fall fun

The first think I thought after writing that headline…say that ten times fast..Lol! Fringe is one of those details that you either love or hate!  Do you wear fringe or cringe? Let’s see if I can’t inspire love for this amazing detailed texture that sometimes gets over looked! Fall is a time to layer, you won’t see a head to toe fringe, although you know I want one, but you will see ways to incorporate this fun moving detail to your seasons looks.

Try a turned backwards sweater. (The belt definitely helped to keep the sweater closed) A fun pop of marigold with a cream pallet is up lifting. Try this Cream crochet vest from Kohl’s for a great piece to introduce to your wardrobe and get a little fringe on!

My hand made Kimono from Silent Courtier is such a versatile piece it had me dancing in the street! Fringe and lace… such a great combo…don’t you think? I used the color wheel to match the purple with it’s compliment…yellow! So there’s a little look at how fashion IS art!!

I am really enjoying repurposing my clothes this fall. Bringing in and layering things from the summer and turning sweater vests backwards is making me fall deeper in love with fringe!! A little bit of fringe can go a long way. It can be an added little pop to create a great vibe to any look!! I am loving this Chico’s sweater vest!!

Another texture that I adore adding is crochet!! This crochet vest, again wearing backwards, causes for a double take. I was so fascinated with how the orange dress underneath pops the design of the crochet…SO GOOD. This Leather crochet vest from Free People is more than AMAZING!!!

In this picture you see how the crochet vest from the previous picture is supposed to be worn. Either way worn it brings an added layer of fun!

Taking fringe to your accessories can be just the right touch. Have a scarf become a headband and let the fringe lay on your shoulder. Up front and center. Her Name Was has a perfect match to my scarf that is light weight and fringe friendly!

Sparkle makes such a great couple with fringe as well…don’t you agree? This kimono is another Silent Courtier creation! To complete the look I wrapped my ankle buckle of my sandals around my jeans legs to show off my fun socks and to sparkle head to toe!

So……do you think you will be fringe friendly this fall? If yes I would LOVE to see your style combinations at #getahinch and tag @nhinchology! Let’s inspire our fashionista within us!!

Until next style,
