It is so versatile, goes with any skin tone,

flatters, looks new and fresh,

looks old and Mad Men vintage-y,

looks pretty.

Must. HAVE. MORE. Coral.

Just makes me want a dress like this…

Jessica Szohr (Gossip Girls) in Jenny Packham at the 2010 Annual MuchMusic Awards

(see great on a dark dark brunette…)

Of course, this is HERMES.

Enough said. kinda burnt coral, right?

And GREAT on a vibrant redhead…

Weakness. Giambattista Valli.

On a light brunette, again, shockingly lovely!

another beautiful blonde shot of the glamourous Betty Draper… blondes are STUNNING in coral!

Okay, another weakness.

WHO does NOT love MAD MEN!

Oh, and do not even get me started on the wardrobing..DIVINE!

You can definitely see where all the upcoming ’60′s chic styling is stemming from!

Yep, it is DIOR, Cruise 2011…

get ready for a SUPER PRETTY Spring /Summer next year!

See, coral does not just pop  in orange!

I have some really wonderful vintage coral jewelry gifted to me from my stylish mother,

it really needs to be reinforced before I wear it , but when I do…

I can definitely see it running up my arms accompanied by this cuff below !

cheeeep and chiiiiicccc.. Kenneth Jay Lane.

Classic and still current.

Affordable.

Operative word these days.

Need some accessories for your finger tips??

Cover me in Petals is the name.

SUPER- Califragilistic.

Cali as in SUNSHINE and pool time!

Happy, and sexy, and…

even if you are not tan, makes you look a little tan.

I have this Caliente Coral on RIGHT NOW.

Friend saw it, fell for it, so,

being the cool chick that I can be at times…

I gave it to her.

Needless to say,

she will ROCK it.

Go with the Flow-er.

Pinky irridescent and coral undertones.

Very nifty as a top coat on toes!

Glittery but not too disco on your feet.

Speaking of not too disco,

these Nars Pure Sheer Lip Treatments are really soft and demure,

but do give a hint of colour and a 15 SPF!

Like cashmere, they glide on, stay on and protect!

Nice change from neon for a change this season, right?

Sometimes you just wanna tune it down a wee bit.

OKAY, NOT TOO MUCH!

Carine Gilson.

This is SO sweet and you can snag one at Net-a-Porter.

Why not? 

You will feel gorgeous all day in it!

Holiday travel is creeping up on us and who has time to worry or wait through long TSA lines at the airport?  Click here for a clip from my segment on ABC network this morning that will solve all and any packing problems you may encounter! I pulled a fantastic outfit from Nordstrom mixing Milly, Tory Burch, Vince and Stuart Weitzman fantastic boots! Pack it all up with “good to go” beauty and accessories from Sephora, of course! Their new ULTIMATE BLOCKBUSTER kit is the absolute must have for the season!

Here are a few quick tips…..

here are 7 easy tips on what to pack for your 3-5 day trip.

1. one simple ensemble in dark neutral of jacket and pants, preferably in wrinkle proof textile like knit or tropical wool.

2. one “day to evening” colorful blouse

3. two or three colorful / neutral tee shirts

4. one colorful cardigan that coordinates with all the tops/blouse

5. one pair high heeled shoes or boots, and a pair of low heeled shoes/ boots

6. underpinnings in beige and black

7. one bag that doubles as a carry on in the same dark neutral as shoes/ boots/ jacket/pants

Add to this list the Sephora cosmetic items that are in solid/ pencil/powder form such as special kits including eye/ lip/ cheek colors.

Bon Voyage! xx Jeane B.

Flame starter! creds:jak&jil

I smell SMOLDERING, SMOKING HOT, SEX APPEALING RED!  And it’s not just for lipstick or Louboutin’s anymore, folks.  It is all over Fall’s most stylish heads!

I must admit, I am tempted, tempted, tempted.  Sigh.  Once upon a time, I was THIS red.  Yes, I know, hard to believe because I am platinum blond now, (partly by choice, partly by DNA) but I was an auburn haired vixen with way too much energy.  Okay, I still have WAY too much energy, but you get the picture.

Hot and swinging! creds:fashiongonerogue

I think I also smell a trend coming soon.  My instincts are usually good for far away trend-spotting and I think that the Karen Elson look of the 90′s will come back strong. While there is ALOT of poker straight, white blond all over Europe this Fall, as evidenced throughout London, Paris and Milan Fashion Weeks, I think the world is ready for a hard dose of outright fire-y glamour and sensuality. And what better colour to convey that than red?

With a color like red, you can literally wash and go. The shade holds its own in the morning and in a crowded soiree in the evening.

Style a la rouge. creds:stylesightings

Another super thing about being red haired is that it instantly does your makeup for you, acts literally as a strong hued accessory, and gives dimension to any hair style.  It is also an immensely flattering shade on skintones from ivory to olive, and highlights the blue in blue eyes, brightens green, and deepens a warm brown eye as well. What more can a beauty and fashionista ask for!

Is it high maintenance? Yep it sure is! It fades, it takes forever to get out, just like black dye does,but it is easy to touch up at home with the right product. Schwartzkopf makes a great red selection! Just pick a shade!  Auburn, flaming, soft strawberry, deep burgundy….the options are endless, and PERFECT for FALL!

But just like any str0ngly flattering style addiction,  aren’t you worth it?  L’oreal, and Jeane B., think so!

seriously heavy, both in weight and in visual, but the impact is SO unique and stylish! not to mention practical because if you are living in one time zone and traveling in another you have instant time updates!

oh , and of course. how could i forget? with the JADE INVASION about to overtake the world of style and all things cool cool cool, here is a lovely look mixing the best of it all!

just remember, if you are going to do some “heavy lifting” this Fall, make sure to accompany it with a bright red, super dark, or matte nude manicure!
