Feel Fresh Fridays: Black and White

       Black is one of my favorite colors to stock up on for fall and winter because it makes for an easy transition from day to night activities; but an all-black ensemble can seem drab at times.  With winter white as a popular color choice for the fall '12 runway, pairing black and white is a simple way to lighten up your outfit and stay stylish.  Although many think black and white seem like a combination for a formal occasion, there are many ways to pair the two without looking over-the-top.  Here are a few of Renewal pieces  to get you started:

Shirt: The Addison Story NWT - Small  |  Pants: Mudd Sz. 7

Blazer: LaRok Sz. XS  |  Shirt: Love Culture Sz. XS  |  Skirt: Forever 21 Sz. Small

Shirt: INC NWT Sz. Small  |  Skirt: Gap Sz. 2

Dress: Aqua Sz. Medium  |  Sweater: American Eagle Sz. XS

Feel Fresh Friday: The Life Aquatic

         Another big trend on the runways this year was the aquatic trend.  Tapping into our love of the deep blue sea, designers utilized a broad spectrum of aquatic shades.  With deep blues and sea-foam greens, its hard not to find at least one way to adapt this trend into your wardrobe.  Think sandy browns, iridescent whites, and bright corals.

Feel Fresh Fridays: Maxi Dress

      Most women, including ourselves here at Renewal, can't live without dresses in the summer. With so many different styles, it's impossible to not have at least one favorite in your closet. This year's biggest trend? The Maxi Dress. Designers such as D&G, Emilio Pucci, Cavalli, Alice & Olivia, and Rachel Zoe all sent maxi dresses down the runway at Spring 2012 fashion week.

      Airy maxi dresses are not only comfortable but versatile, and come in a variety of fabrics and prints. You can wear a maxi dress with a sunhat and sandals to the beach, or pair it with heels and statement jewelry for instant elegance for a night out.

    Here are some maxi dresses we have in stock to keep you trendy and cool this summer.
