Translating your personal style into your home décor

Everyone certainly has a personal style or preference even if you are not an interior designer. But matching your personal style with your home décor could be challenging. And if you are the type that gets easily bored with the same style, getting the perfect aesthetic for your home could be quite daunting. 

There’s no need to stick with basic boring decors when you can make your home feel like the inside of your wardrobe! 

Here are some ideas on how to reflect your wardrobe in your home decoration:

Are you attracted to bold colors and jewelry? Just like a statement necklace, a pop of color with drapes or curtains creates a fun, modern and attractive look to your living room space. 

For antique lovers, handpicked pieces from flea markets, garage sales and vintage stores will give your home a unique retro feel that reflects your style. 

Is your style country, cozy, and laid-back? Look for furniture that will reflect comfort like a swing couch, soft pillows and throw blanket. 

Do you consider your style edgy and modern? You may want to go for bold wallpapers, artworks and contrasting colors. Learning how to reflect your personal style in your home is not always an easy task. Hopefully these few ideas will help you learn how to use your everyday fashion as an inspiration to find your own home décor style!

2017 Spring / Summer Trends: Super Brights

From Left to Right: Balenciaga, Roland Mouret, Max Mara, Emilia Wickstead, 3.1 Phillip Lim

Our friends at Who What Wear have a few ideas about how this summer is going to look in the fashion world, and we have to agree with a few of the trends we’ve spotted thus far. At the S/S 17 shows, you we all noticed more and more fashion editors pulling an “Anna Wintour” & wearing sunglasses indoors more here than ever before. Well… we have to admit, after reviewing this bold rainbow of runway looks, we can’t really blame them!

Pink—and lots of it—played a very bold part of the Paris Fashion Week schedule, while the likes of Balenciaga, Céline and Valentino all employed the most shocking shades of this pretty hue for demure dresses. Without frills, prints or girlish detailing, the power of pink was clear to see.

But if you can’t #COSIGN the pinky vibe, there’s still something for you this season! Take your pick from the multicolour closet of S/S 17. From Kermit (that’s none of my business) green to Beyonce Lemonade yellow, there's only one rule: Then it comes to color this season… Wear LOTS of it.

Check out what colors to wear together this season with our handy #COSIGNstyle guide & shop the looks on the #COSIGNapp!

Feeling lucky yet? Green isn’t your only option this week. In Chinese culture, red is considered a lucky color, indicating happiness, success and good fortune. Incorporating a pop of red (like a great polish) can also help make you feel more emboldened and confident. We say, go for it!

We all know success is built on hard work and hustle, but let’s be honest – an extra dose of luck never hurt anyone. Every year around this time near St. Patrick’s Day... we have to admit, we start feeling a little bit luckier than usual! That’s why we’ve rounded up some of our favorite looks to share with you. Hey- a good luck trend is always in style!

FUN FACT: The Pantone color of the year is Greenery, and we can’t get enough of this spritely hue. Go bold with a vintage green jacket paired with neutrals, or seek out a softer shade and balance it with striped or floral patterns.

Resolution Reality

So, you finally made it to 2017. That’s no small feat! We all had our low moments of 2016, but last year gave us plenty of time to plot our New Year Style so that we cold make THIS year better than the last. Today, we're breaking down our latest & greatest outfit ideas to best show off your latest resolutions.

Resolution Look #1

If your resolution this year was to aim for a better job (or just a new position all together), then it only makes sense to dress the part! Power suits have come a long way over the years, and there are still classic elements that you can incorporate to dominate the room and draw attention. This twist on the menswear suit is a perfect example. Dress like you already got the promotion! Walk with your head held high, and watch everything else fall in line!

Resolution Look #2

For those of us who chose to work on personal health and fitness this year, 1st of all- congratulations. We've all been there, but not so many of us can say we stuck with it. To keep yourself accountable and excited about about this "athletic" new you, how about falling in love with a few trendy athleisure pieces that transition well from the gym to the grocery store? If you can get excited about incorporating great style into your workout, you can actually get excited ABOUT Working Out.

Resolution Look #3

TREAT YOURSELF

You heard us. Each year is an opportunity to make more "me time" and truly pamper yourself by whatever makes you feel special. For many of us, this could mean an indulgent dessert or a weekend getaway...maybe even a massage and a glass of champagne? For those of you who are feeling a bit more indulgent this year, don't forget that a classic robe can be the perfect investment in yourself! A good new plush robe is exactly what you need to escape the day to day & truly relax as you plot how to take over the new year.

Resolution Look #4

Going the extra mile

Who says you have to be in a relationship to get all dressed up and hit the town??! Taking the extra few minutes each day or each weekend to give yourself a little extra "fancy" can really go a long way. You deserve it! (Plus you never know who you might meet...)

Most of us resolve each year to improve our wardrobes and purge the old to make room for the new! This year, you can do exactly that - all from your COSIGN app. Just post your favorite photo in your outfit that you're ready to get rid of, and post it to COSIGN! Once you've donated or consigned the old to make room for the new, you can MAKE MONEY on those style memories from last year!  (When was the last time your old photo albums made you a few coins??)

Jennifer Lawrence has been promoting the movie in premieres around the world. While we adore her beauty, we cannot deny that she looked stunning in all her red carpet looks and I guess it’s safe to say that she is one of the well-dressed actresses of all time. With her contract with the House of Dior, it’s no surprise that we see her wearing the French label in almost every premiere.

6 Fashion Tips to Make Your First Date Awesome

Deciding what to wear for a first date can be a real dilemma. It may sound like a no brainer to some, but when you have to make a good first impression there’s additional pressure right there. At some point we’ve all been caught up in a wardrobe panic, especially if it’s a first date. 1. Makeup -Oh please don’t to much makeup!! Cat eyes are the best !! 2. Little White Dress -The Little White Dress is a wardrobe essential. Chic and feminine, the dress is perfect for a day time date. Pair it up flats a clutch for a sunny day, or go for ankle boots and a small cross body bag for a ‘ready for fall’ look. 3. High-Waisted Jeans -If you’re a jeans gal, go for a smart-casual look. Pair your favorite skinny jeans with a nice blouse. Nothing says effortless like light blue skinny jeans with a white blouse and a pair of nude heels. Pair it up with a nice clutch and finish with nice sunnies for a daytime look. If you are going to an evening meet up will require you to mix it up a bit with some statement jewellery such as rings or a necklace. For the evening either add a nice jacket, preferably a leather biker jacket. Or throw on a nice oversized jumper and compliment it with an oversized statement clutch. 4. Sweater Dress and Thigh High Boots -Thing high boots are back for fall and here to stay throughout the holiday season. Snug and comfortable, the sweater dresses is versatile. The best thing about the sweater dress is that it falls right into place, highlighting your curves without being too tight – sexy. 5. Little Black Dress !!! -The LBD can really be worn on any occasion. For instance if you’re not sure what the nature of the activity is, wear your LBD with a comfortable pair of ballerina flats. Kylie Jenner have started rocking white sneakers with their dresses. And why wouldn’t they?! It’s the perfect combination of style and comfort, this way you’re not overdoing the dress and you’re at least somewhat prepared to go trekking. 6. Maxi Skirt -This one is perfect for you if you’re a romantic. Go for nice pastels colours; gravitate towards off white, mink, Mint green or baby blue.
