My favorite season is here! It’s time to revamp your wardrobe. Color is about to take over in a big way; so brace yourself.

We have gotten in some amazing things from mm6, raquel allegra, hanii y., and iro. Here are a few great looks for spring!

hanii y.: ruffle beige top $280; camel origami pencil skirt $280 and emerald green jacket $645.

here is the same outfit without the jacket. this is a very sophisticated look, but adding the jacket gives it a great pop of color

navy hanii y. dress $360 with mm6 white belt $175. The dress is so elegant, and depending on the belt you add it can dress it up or down.

hanii y. dotted green top $280 with cream bermuda shorts (sold out). This is such a fresh look, it really gets you in the sunshine mood!

hanii y. layered tank $240 and pencil skirt $280 with m. patmos jacket $580. I love the color of the layer tank the mint is so stunning on just about everyone.

If you don't like too much color this is a great way to keep it subtle white collar tunic $350 and pink belt $135 from mm6 paired with skinny mother jeans. This is a great example of adding the perfect accessories to an outfit and seeing how it completely transforms the look.

iro cream blazer $420 mm6 hot pink dress $235. This is one of my favorite outfits! The color is just so over the top wonderful! Adding the blazer gives it a great classic look, and tones down the shocking pink!

red iro tweed shred jacket $505 with raquel allegra tie cocoon dress $480. This iro red jacket speaks for its self! This is a jacket i would wear religiously! It will go with just about everything, and is a perfect go to piece.

Start peeling of the layers! The season is changing so out with the old and in with the new! Start by adding a little color in your everyday outfit and you are set! Color is my obsession and am so excited that this spring it has taken over!

As we all know the golden globes is to honor the talented movie industry that provide comedy, drama, action and romance to our lives through film. What isn’t as clear is that this event also sets the mood for the fashion world. Having the right dress in the right color with complementing accessories is crucial. It is amazing how no ones dress is revealed until the day of the event, but there are so many similarities in the trends.

Here are some obvious highlights on the red carpet… obvious trends and in my opinion the most fabulous pulled together looks.

♦Hot tamales in RED!♦

Emma Stone

everything about her outfit is glamorous... her belt is to DIE for! gina summed it up by saying, "she rocked it yet again". I completely agree!

 Dianna Argon

This dress absolutely spoke for itself. This is a work of art, the lazier cut swans give this dress such an elegant and extravagant look. What a firecracker!

Viola Davis 

This is a unique shade of red and dose wonders for violas skin tone! This dress mastered the perfect combination of classic and sexy, with the simplicity of the dress and the sexy slit up the leg. I think it is easy to say that Viola made this dress look amazing

Red was in the spot light at this event. It was worn by a number of different actresses with different looks, making it obvious that if you find the right shade you can wear it too.

♦Beauties that will make you BLUSH♦

Kate Beckinsale

this is the definition of sophisticated. This really speaks for its self the cut dose wonders for her amazing body.

 Charlize Theron

Charlize+Dior= Bomb shell! she is a beautiful women in such a sexy/ elegant dress. She really put people on the red carpet to shame in my opinion. I mean she picked such a soft color and made it such a statement. She really turned heads in this one!

Jessica Alba

One of americas hottest women alive, wearing a little more purple based blush with exquisite detail. Jessica looked amazing at the golden globes as always... how can she go wrong she is stunning.

These sexy women wore such a simple classic color, and made it look fabulous. They all looked completely elegant without taking away there sexy side. This color is huge for spring and will make you look just as amazing!

♦Keeping Hollywood classic in BLACK tie♦

Kate Winslet

Kate is a classic beauty. She really gave off the image of old hollywood at this event. She looks completely timeless.

 Mila Kunis

The new spokes person for Dior. Mila really rocked the black here. The body of the dress was just so flattering. The color could have looked to hard on this dark beauty but the style really softened the look.

Some may think wearing black and white is cheating and an easy way out. Let me just say you can easily go wrong with black. You don’t want to look too dark, hard, or boring. With just the right style and look you can look like a bomb shell.

♦Unexpected YELLOW really made a shining appearance on the red carpet♦

Paula Paton; Maria Mnounos; & Mireille Enos

All of these colors are going to be huge this season. The golden globes really set a positive mood for this seasons color palette. So ladies get excited no color just isn’t an option this spring!

This Spring you have choices!…

Are you a bold girl that loves intensity and the attention in a crowded room?
Or…
Are you the classic girl that loves color but you’d rather have your outfit speak for itself and not have it scream at the eye of another?

In this case are you a lollipop or a cupcake?

neon

intense bold colors…fuschia, lime green, teal, electric yellow

OR

pastel

muted classic colors… rose, blush, pale blues, lavender, beige and cream.

If you are not used to a lot of color especially bold neon’s; this is a great season to get out of your comfort zone and add just a little color to make a bold statement to a bland outfit… Whether you do it with a great bag, shoes, jewelry or even a bold lip adding color will transform your outfit.

Here are ideas that I found in ELLE magazine that are in my opinion ROCKING this concept

Here are two great jackets that we have at spool with this spring’s colors!

Camilla and Marc: neon fuschia bolero blouse/jacket    &      Alice Temperley: blush pink laser cut leather jacket                                                                                                       $575                                                                                 $930

 These are perfect to show off your neon or pastel side! Both outerwear pieces are amazing. The leather jacket is buttery soft and hugs the body making it a sexy fit. The bolero by Camilla is shocking pink. It can be worn as a jacket or turn it around to rock it as a blouse. Gina rocked hers with a white cotton tank,  crisp white YSL tuxedo pants and a multi strand black jet crystal necklace.

These are great examples of spring’s color palette intensities.

Hello Ladies it’s Bella here! As most of you know we just got in MM6. This is our first season carrying them; Gina and I are so very excited about the collection! As I was playing around with the pieces today I just fell in love!

Here are some ideas I have come up with…

MM6 oversized knit Cardigan $335: Also available in black. This sweater is asymmetrical and has buttons all the way down the front and back making it possible to adjust the fit and style.

MM6 cotton adjustable drawstring dress $335: This dress is cut in a V in the back just like the front. The dress is paired with MM6 crackled white leather side bag $470.

MM6 asymmetrical blouse $305: This top has a back swag, and can also be worn off the shoulder. The blouse is paired with our new Alice Temperley long lace skirt $395: The skirt is fitted around the hips and loosens up at the bottom.

MM6 Camisole $195: This is an amazing light weight top, there is a gather in the front giving it a little swag on both sides.

MM6 long sleeve grey top $240: This top is high in the front and low in the back. MM6 Bermuda short with a swag in the front $375: MM6 multi buckle belt $175: this belt has additional buckles you can use for accessories like a bracelet.

Other designers in for Spring 2012 are Camilla and Marc and Alice Temperley! The new collections are just what you need to give your Spring wardrobe that fresh look it needs!!

The Outsider/ Heaven Texas

Runaway/ Flowers From The Storm

Hey ladies, it’s Bella. These jeans are AMAZING! Everything from the fit to the style is completely flattering. Speaking from experience, the moment you try on a pair you will be screaming for more! Come check out the new styles we have just received!

We currently have the Wilder, the Runaway,the Looker and the Rascal styles in stock! Various washes and colors available.

I wanted to take this time to introduce myself. My name is Bella and I am the new addition to Spool! I am here to help Gina in the day to day activities. I am currently attending FIDM as a visual communications major. I absolutely love styling and wanted to share a few of my holiday favorites. Can’t wait to meet you all!

burning torch sequence mini dress $640,knitted fur bolero by Co $1895, beth orduna bronze pearls on leather $440

anagram navy dress (with pockets) $550,thea grant necklace $315, feather collar by Co $225

dress by lover $375,rodrigo otazu necklace $395 & vintage pearls necklace $375

I am so excited to introduce a new collection called Co.  It arrived last week and blew out in two days here at spool.  Here is their website to give a little more info on them.  www.co-collections.com

The leathers, furs and the long silk skirt are too die for.  Take a peek below.  The blue and red fox scarves will be in here few weeks but the silk skirt, fur vest and bolero jacket sold out in 2 hours. The bolero jacket is a knitted fur so it is very light-weight and perfect for Southern CA.  The buttery leather top has ribbed cashmere side panels.  We styled it with the long silk skirt however the leather top is great with jeans and be fab with a beautiful wide leg trouser.

I will be doing a re-order on the fur pieces and should be expecting more in about 4-5 weeks.  Just in time for early fall :)

It is a beautiful collection and I can not wait to see what they have in store for spring 2012.

Paint by numbers…  Get your color on by sporting bright colors for summer soiree’s.  We like to pair bright pieces with layers of colorful bangles, bright scarves and throw in a signature neon clutch just to keep it interesting.  Whether sipping champagne at sunset by ocean or on a yacht (if you have one call me) touring
around Catalina… But of course no summers day outing would be any fun if your feet are a hot mess. We suggest pairing the hot summer colors with some cool wedges. Preferably a cork wedge. Easy on the feet and lower back.  Should you have to play hostess with the mostess, you will look and feel fabulous. And that’s what it’s all about.

coral orange mini dress by Shipley & Halmos $310, YSL cork & leather clutch (Gina’s own),Laura Merken bag in amethyst $215, vintage lucite bangles $25-65, Jill Stuart peep toe suede wedges (Gina’s own)

tucker camisole $170 and Chie Mihara navy wedges (Gina’s own)

 YAY! spool celebrated 5 years yesterday by hosting a spring fling event.  I wanted to spoil my gals and show a token of my appreciation for their friendship & business these last 5 years.  My guests indulged in neck massages, manicures and sipped honey rosemary wine spritzers & champagne.  It was catered by Rachel Humphrey of thesweetsavory.com. The beautiful lavender french macaroons were from La Provence in Brentwood and mini lavender iced cupcakes from Suzie Cakes.  It was a beautiful venue on a perfect Saturday afternoon.
