Neons for Summer How to Add a POP of Color

   Neon is all the rage in Spring and Summer. Neons are extremely bright colors that are typically orange, yellow, pink, and green. Adding color to you winter wardrobe is also a great way to continue wearing more of your clothing year round. Neon is an instant update for any age. Here are three ways to add a pop of color to your outfit.

Mix and Match One of the More popular trends along with a pop of neon is to wear colored jeans. A neon accessory that is not  close to the other color can complement any colored jeans outfit. The trick is to choose one color that is neon and one that is not.

Color at any age  Whether you are in your teens or not, color is wearable. This more toned down accent of color is great for anyone of any age. Also, color in this way can be very dressed up.
Men Can Wear Neon Too!

Just a little Pop  Again, if you are not trying to make a statement, just an update, ditch the neutral accessories and add some fun color.

Meet Sarah From Sarah's Style Watch

 Sarah asked me on Twitter if I would check out her blog Sarah's Style Watch. Instantly, I fell in love with her play on the word "watch" and she is doing an alphabet trend, which is a trend corresponding with the letters of the alphabet one a day along with an outfit Sarah styles. Sarah's Style Watch is a fresh creative blog about fashion and beauty.  Here is a little more about Sarah and summer shoes trends.

 Hey everyone, I’m Sarah. I’m from Ireland, and currently a student. I’m a self confessed fashion and beauty addict, and my favorite thing to do is rummage around a charity shop looking for quirky and unique items. I love charity shops that much, I actually got myself a part time job in one. I believe there are no rules to fashion. Fashion is about expressing yourself, helping show another side to your personality.
Loafer Pump


I cannot wait for the summer to begin. Even though we are still in early spring, I am counting down the days until I can pack away my winter woollies and bring out my sandals and dresses. I have started to look for shoes that will be great for summer time.
I am in love with the loafer pumps. These shoes are so versatile, and come in so many different colors and designs. Perfect for dresses, shorts, skirts, peg-leg trouser, you name it; these shoes will look gorgeous with anything. Marc Jacobs, Charles Philip, Alexander McQueen, Paul Smith, Sam Edelman all gave their versions of this classic men’s shoe.

 Next up is the summer essential, the sandal. Sandals are the number one shoe for the summer. This summer, I’m looking for sandals with a thin t-bar strap and lots of bling on them. Burberry Prorsum, Jimmy Choo and Tory Burch designed some fantastic sandals. Burch created a sandal with a floral sole with a simple strap. Beautiful.

They look so effortless and chic. At the spring/summer fashion weeks, wedges and espadrilles were spotted in Ralph Lauren, Mulberry, Burberry Prorsum and many others. The Classic Espadrilles, with their trademark rope sole, were huge last summer, and will be another big hit this summer.

Writing this I’m getting even more excited for summer. These are the style of shoe I’ll be looking for this summer. Have you been inspired? What type of shoe will you be sporting this summer?
