Springing into summer!

Can you believe we are in June!!??? The weather has been so amazing and has got me excited about the fun prints, color pops and bold accessories that work in spring and through summer!! So let’s get into a few of my favorite pieces that get me through season to season!

Right now my shopping focus is for summer BUT I love to get a piece that I can see me wearing layered NOW. If you have been following me on IG than you have seen my current boutique obsession more amore boutique in New Haven Connecticut. That’s where I scored this fab green floral print dress! I know this dress will be on rotation this summer.

How about adding a dress with your favorite pair of suit pants! The shorter the dress easier to make into a long tunic top layered with a great bright pant! When the weather turns hot, hot, hot I will add a pair of Bermuda shorts, brunch ready!

Let’s get into prints!! Color pops are always a good idea!!! Pairing together separate, doesn’t matter! You can easily pair the third quarter sleeve with shorts and the pants with a simple tank! So get the fun print and don’t look back!

Go with that neon pop and make it a high neck line and sleeveless! This way for spring it can be layered, under or over with a great puff sleeve or even a sheer sleeve!

Now let’s talk long sleeve and a maxi skirt!!! I LOVE taking a maxi and turning it to a strapless!!! So easy to pair with fun bold metallic accessories! The long sleeve can easily pair with denim anything!!

Kimonos or bust!!!! Do not sleep on long dusters, kimono and robe pieces to layer with jeans to suits to a hot night out with the hubs!!

I hope some of these fab spring finds make a splash this summer in your wardrobe!

Please tag me and use #getahinch and #hinchology so I can feature you in my stories!!

Have a fantastic weekend, as always thank you for being here!

Until next style,

Love is in the air and happy New Year

Hey all my friends! First let me say happy New year! I know it’s been a while, but I have been working on a lot!! Excited to announce that I will be offering private style sessions for those that want to see fashion through my eyes!!! So stay tunes!

Fashion week was nothing short of fabulous!! I have to say I love runway shows, I mean that, the street to me has THE best looks!!

There’s magic in the air during fashion week! Everyone is in the zone, focused on how to wow, inspire and catch attention! There’s nothing too over the top!! Everything goes for me anyday, but especially during fashion week!!

So here are looks that I hope will inspire you to get out of your shell, try something new and make you feel fabulous!!!

Let’s start with color!!! Color of the year is…..Drum roll please!

This color is AMAZING!! A rich gorgeous color that pairs well with so many other colors!! So here is how I see it….versions of this color works just as well!!

You could totally rock this head to toe, or pop it here and there! It’s rich, sexy and comands attention!! Never underestimate the power of color!

Now let’s take a look at opposites of the color of the year, or the complimentary color!

At least if your not into the color of the year you can compliment it!!

Stay tuned for my New York fashion week recap!!

Thank you all for being here, believing in me and here to get inspired!!

Until next style!!!

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

Welcome to my Fall

The start of a new school year, fashion week, pumpkin lattes (if that’s your thing…sorry but no thanks) a new position after 19 years at work, leading the continuation of my fathers legacy, and all along looking stylish has made fall a very busy season.

The point I’m trying to make is that we all go through things, whether they are apparent to others doesn’t make them any less importance.

For me when I get dressed it makes me feel ready to take on my day! To inspire others! When others tell me that my dances made them smile or laugh…I am so all about that!! Wouldn’t you rather make someone feel uplifted, alright to be themselves rather than put someone down, make them feel bad!?

It’s harder to be and find kindness…WHY? Because we are human! Practicing to be authentic, kind, caring and inspiring is work…EVERYDAY! Let’s face it not everyday is that kind of day! So on those days we remind ourselves that we are struggling and trying our best and to be kind, caring and compassionate!

With that being said I have gathered some of my favorite looks and products of fall must haves this fall! To help inspire you to feel your best, to give your best!

Let’s start with Tee’s! These are easy go to pieces because they can be layered, dressed up with a tulle skirt , layered over a fancy dress, the sky is the limit! Obviously they are great for dressing down with jeans…keep scrolling you’ll see my takes!

Sweaters are a staple in the fall and a vest will be the perfect transition from the warm days to cold nights. You can never go wrong with Houndstooth!! Don’t you agree!?
