KIDS CHOICE AWARDS: Orange Carpet Fashion


Last nights' 'Kids' Choice Awards' were full of laughter and slime, but the fashion seen on the ever so popular "orange carpet" has us all still talking a day later.



Young and the not-so young alike came out in a full aray of colors last night. Bright hues were a huge hit on the orange carpet; Some even took it to the nails. 




While this is an awards show, many stars opted to go casual for last nights' event. A lot of pant and short suits made their epic debut on the spring awards show. 






Some, however, still went for the traditional or doll baby get up, as their choice in wardrobe. 




Still others, rocked runway looks that were very much appropriate for last nights' occasion. 



Through it all, though, a lot of skin was showing, the sun was shining, and everybody came to have fun.  




Until next time!

PAINTED!: Spring 2014 Nail Trends

The spring fashion and style season is already upon us and the break out nail trends have already surfaced. 



During both New York and Paris' Fashion weeks the models surprised us all as they blazed the runways with unique fashion pieces, accessorized by phenomenal nail designs.


The half moon nail design was a big hit during the 2014 spring/summer fashion previews; And it is most definitely gaining even more momentum in the world of style, right now.




Also topping the 2014 nail trend charts were the window pain design and caviar beads. 





Just as with the top spring fashion color trends; metallics, nudes, and pastels have made their way onto the nails and have simply exploded. Blazing this trail right along with the above colors are the darker hues, such as blacks, dark cherry, and indigo. 




The talon nail trend from the 2012-2013 spring seasons, have been shaped, filed, and are now even longer and sharper than ever before. So much so, that they are now known as the 'stiletto nail'. 



Tribal designs, mosaic, and polish layering are very popular this year as well. Confetti nails are another festive yet sophisticated nail trend that will really spice up your spring ensembles; especially for prom.




So, whether you are looking to have glammed up, superstar, runway/red carpet nails or if you just want the solid more toned down look; you will definitely find what you are looking for in the diversity of this springs' nail trends.

COLOR PREDICTIONS: Springtime Fine

Spring has sprung and all of the color predictions are popping out all over the place. 



Patones prediction for the hottest color this year is 'radiant orchard'. And we've seen this color fly right off the runway and land in our local stores and boutiques.




Other color predictions include metallics, nudes, and pastels. Colors that we've seen quite a bit of on the red carpet this year during awards' season.





To take full advantage of this springs' prime colors, it's definitely ok to mix and match, which we saw an abundance of on the runways both at NYFW and in the Paris fashion shows. 




Men are also getting in on this years' color trends. Adding pops of color, whether with a tie, bow tie, or an ascot, as well as shirt combos, scarves, and socks. Some men are even wearing full on color with the whole ensemble. And are surprisingly pulling it off.






No matter your style or stature make sure that you make this years' color trends apart of your spring wardrobe. So that you too can be springtime fine.





Happy Spring!
