Easing back in

Can you think of a single word to describe how we are all feeling right now? Hmmmm. Oh, we think we got it! Ugh. The holidays are over and the new year is here. It's time to take down the decorations, make your resolutions and most importantly, return to reality! Well, after the weekend is over. Let's ease back into it, shall we? How do we propose this you ask?

Beanies. Slouchy knitted hats that provide warmth, a laid back look and the perfect solution to a bad hair day. They may be the perfect thing for these next few days of "I don't wanna!" Plus, they are going to aid all winter long as we battle the cold and snow. Trust us! 

Beanies are great. What makes the even better? A giant pom pom! It's so cute and kind of reminds us of something we would wear as a kid. Check out this mustard yellow hat for Zara. It's on our wish list for sure! We think it would look great paired with a grey or army green colored coat. Add some tight pants and heeled booties... now that's a good look. So casual yet extremely cute!

If you have a more urban style, the next hat is perfect for you. We are really digging the beanies with text on them. You have seen them all over the place! They are really popular right now. If we we're going to buy one,  it would have to be this one from Topshop. Mix it into an outfit with a leather moto jacket and a chunky gold chain necklace. What an awesome, hip hop style outfit. Is that a look you may go for in 2014?

And nothing is wrong with a basic beanie. It goes with nearly everything and will surely serve it's purpose... keeping your head warm! The go with any jacket, coat or sweater. And they capture that classic winter look. We would pick this hat from Madewell. It looks super cozy and we love the burgundy color. You can't go wrong with this hat.

It's not all bad! We have a whole new year in front of us. We're excited to take it all on. We can't wait to travel, meet more of you and debut our latest latex line. Of course, there are sure to be a few surprises along the way. We hope you'll come along with us. Happy New Year from the Latex Store to you!  

Fall is right around the corner!

Summer is nearly halfway over! Crazy right?! We're already starting to plan for the fall. Nothing too crazy but we did find a great article on Glamour that gives a little sneak peek into this fall's do's and don'ts. Stayed tuned as we cover a few of the highlights.

Oh how we miss wearing hats! Well, we have a few sun hats.... But there's nothing quite like the hats we wear when it's chilly out. Hats are going to be a must have this fall. We encourage you to try it out! Even if you're not a "hat person". Everyone can be a hat person! Everyone can rock a beanie. Slouch it on your head or wear it traditionally with a pom pom on top! Or try out a fedora or bucket style hat for a classic look. Go for color! Jewel tones are beautiful in the fall. Or maybe a pop of mustard yellow. Go crazy for hats!! 

Speaking of color.... Emerald is still in! It's the color or the year and we're still in love! Add it in where ever you can. Use it as an accent. As simple as a cocktail ring, skinny belt or even a pair of kitten heels. It's such a gorgeous color! It's covering the fall runways. Mix it in with other jewel tones and neutrals for a beautiful yet muted fall look. We can hardly wait! 

We're happy to see the military look is still in! We're in love with the structured look. It's an easy way to add an edge to your look. And something about fall makes us want to toughen up a little. Opt for a military style jacket. Look for strong lines, buttons and that classic military green color. And then add back in more feminine pieces for a high fashion look! 

So, get out there and start assembling you fall ensembles! Stores are already starting to bust out their fall and winter items. Stay ahead of the game and get a few pieces that will excite you for the upcoming season! We know we're excited for cooler weather, sweaters and falling leaves. Are you?
