Weekly Style: Charlie Jade


What would a girl do without the essentials during the winter weather? 
I know that I would be completely lost with my 3 basic essentials- 
a comfy romper, a sleek blazer and a stylish bootie. 



For this week's styling, we are featuring the Charlie Jade "Amy Romper" in Dark Green. To turn this casual romper into a classy outfit, layer it with a off-white blazer and add some gold accessories. To fight off that cold winter weather, throw on some opaque tights! 

To finish it off, put on those Michael Antonio booties and hit the town!  

Check out more Charlie Jade pieces at ShopModerne.com

How To Style...


Last week I choose items I was planning to buy with the amazing 40% off Black Friday sale. Now I am giving a few pointers on how to style the items. Check it out below and feel free to leave your comments! 


Show Me Your Mumu Leopard Blouse
How To Style: Show Me Your Mumu- Cheetah Blouse




One of the best things about this blouse, besides being leopard, is it has versatility. You can wear it during spring, fall, winter, or summer.

Great with leggings and colorful wedges, shorts and flat sandals, or a maxi skirt and tan wedges.

Remember, don't be afraid of color even if it's just a splash.



Lovers + Friends Sequin Sway Dress

Lovers + Friends Sequin Sway Dress
The ultimate party dress.
Sequins. Backless. Mini. Enough said.

While the dress is amazing alone adding something simple can go a long way. If you are wearing to a work event and feel it shows too much pair with a structured black blazer and some bold stilettos.

Wearing it for New Years? Add some emerald earrings and peach lipstick. Remember, peach is a neutral so it won't clash with the emerald.


Have fun putting together outfits and be confident... it's the best accessory!

Moderne Tutorial: 25 Ways to Wear A Scarf

The beauty that is a scarf. 

An accent piece to make your ''look'', a functional piece to keep you warm, and most of all a stylish accessory to help you survive the upcoming season. 
If you are anything like me your scarf wrapping skills are rather basic - limited to a handful of looks.

Came across this awesome 5 min tutorial video by Wendy Nguyen of Wendy's Lookbook showcasing 25 ways to wear a scarf! 
Some of these looks are super creative and definitely stylish! 
From your casual looks to even variations of the infinity scarf, Wendy shows us how to take 1 scarf and style it in 25 different ways.


Can't wait to try a bunch of these over the next few weeks.

Now, what scarf to use? 
Might we suggest the amazing Tolani scarves available at Moderne?
Tolani - Oversized Leopard Print Scarf -  $92.00
As seen on Kim Kardashian

What's your favorite way to wear a scarf? 
Make sure you don't leave home without the ultimate winter accessory: the scarf

Another day, another Friday Find. After the massive meals at Thanksgiving dinner, we thought it would be best to concentrate on this year's best accessories- bracelets! We can never pass up a good bangle that adds that finishing touch to any look. Take a look at what we thought would be the best of the best. 

#1- Carol Marie Hinged Bangle - NOW ON SALE! 40% off at Shop Moderne

We saw the most color-filled nail trends during the summer and would expect the same during the winter. Just because it's chilly and cold doesn't mean you can't bring in some sunshine with some simple nail polish & decals. So here is to the best nail trends for this winter! 

Dark Chocolate is the new black- Yum!


Muted Gold- Get Glam & be "green" w/BUTTER 
which only contains organic ingredients. 

Navy Blue is all the rage this winter!

Moderne Man: Hoodie Haven


Our very own Moderne Man is back and dishing on the one item that every man needs during these chilly days...a good quality hoodie!

Last time, I went crazy over plaid but sometimes, it’s good to tone it down and have the laid-back look.  Whether you’re out with your friends at a house party or having a little rendezvous with your significant other, this look is effortless and will keep you looking extra cool during this winter season.



Pick up a pair of my favorite, distressed jeans from Degaine because not only are they stylish with all the pre-torn holes in the front, but they are also a little loose fitting and comfortable for the Moderne guy.  Although I am a huge fan of the bright, pop colors such as yellow, blue, and all other things that are eye-catching, it’s fall so that means the darker colors are in such as the shades of browns, blacks, and grays.

The tee shirt from Alternative Earth is a light shade of brown that isn’t a complete bore and still manages to pop out at a person. It literally brings the best of both worlds and puts into one shirt. The shirt serves as a contrast to the dark shade of the jeans. 

The BlackMetro Hoodie from Alternative Apparel is a pullover hoodie that is great for layering and doesn’t have the zipper at the front. If you’re looking for a bright pop colored hoodie and earth-friendly clothing, Alternative Earth offerssome unisex hoodies in light purple, green and gray.

Whichever hoodie fits your taste, make sure to always be you, be Moderne.
Signing off -Ax

Friday Find: Color-Blocking Pumps

We saw the color-blocking trend on the runway for these past seasons, but now we are finding the trend hit the streets in the form of pumps. The colorful mash-up of neons and subtle pastels will add that pop you are looking for without seeming like a mix-matched mess. 



Featured above:

2. Dolce Vita Babette- Magenta Suede $199
4. Privileged Kylie Grey Color Block Platform Pumps- $40

Would you rock this daring duo?

The Sunday Stitch

Another weekend has passed and yet again SO MUCH has happened in the fashion & pop culture realm. So to celebrate the happenings, we are going to highlight the best of this past weekend in the Sunday Stitch! 

Let's get started with our favorite man- Ryan Gosling. Mr. Gosling celebrated his 31st birthday this past weekend on Saturday. This hottie has been landing the best roles lately in movies like Crazy, Stupid, Love & The Ides of March, which have only made us want him more! I mean, who can resist that mysterious smirk of his & his dapper ways! In tribute to this lovely man's birthday, we wanted to just showcase our top 3 looks that Ryan has rocked!




Next up on our list, is the recent collaboration between Versace and H&M. The much anticipated project will launch later this week, but we have a little sneak peek of what you can expect! In the past H&M has worked closely with designers like Stella McCartney, Roberto Cavalli and Lanvin. The looks that are coming from Versace this Fall are filled with tropical prints, bright colors and metallics. 


Check out the New York Fashion Event in NYC for the launch. 


Last but certainly not least is the launch of Gwen Stefani's Harajuku Mini line now being sold only at Target. It is no surprise that this mother of two has brought funky patterns to the racks at Target and is offering mother's a way to spice up their kid's wardrobe without breaking the budget. 


It seemed to be a celeb central! We are in LOVE with Ali Larter's sheer polka dot dress!


Gwen struts her stuff with Zuma and Kingston by her side.

Do you think this will be the Missoni craze for mother's & kids? We aren't to certain what to expect from this, but can't wait to find out! Tell us what you think below. 

Well, that is it for us today loves. Tell us what you thought was the best happening this past weekend. We love to hear from you. Have a great Sunday!

The Sunday Stitch

OK, so we failed a little bit this past week and didn't bring you the oh-so-awesome Friday Find...for that I apologize. In replacement for my lack of posting, I've decided to coin another day of the week with a little thing I like to call "The Sunday Stitch!" We are going to bring you the latest updates to hit the Moderne site, throw in a dash of celeb findings, and let you know what trend we found to be the hottest in the past weekend! 

So, to kick it off we decided to feature the retro tees from Wildfox Couture that are now available at Moderne! I've had the pleasure of rocking the NYC Harley Tee and have absolutely fallen in love with it...not to mention I am already obsessed with the city lights! 

Check out these great loose tees! 



Thank you Moderne & Wildfox Couture for keeping us dressed with laid back threads!
