I've got the blues in my view!

Blue is the new black for 2015. I'm researching and the picture I found on www.pouted.com just made me want to get rid of everything and go blue. Of course we know it's just a trend.

A few ways to embrace a trend without losing your own individual style is little hints of the trending color, an accessory or a print that has a touch of the color that's currently trending. This goes for fashion as well as home decor. One color can change a room in a matter of seconds. It will also add life to an oldie but goodie item such as a dress, or a statement chair.

Don't be afraid to try what everyone is doing but put your own twist on it. Blue is beautiful but what will make it my blues? I will keep you posted on my twist of WinStyles blues. [Photo credit www.pouted.com]

Dream On!

Have you ever pondered why inspiration can come often or not at all? I realized that it is a way of thinking. I had conditioned myself to allow negative influences to cloud my views. Having a conversation with a positive thinker and I said something and had a "ah hah" moment. Oprah uses this phrase when you here that whisper from God saying listen to me, I'm giving it to you to run with. This is my opinion of what an "ah ha" moment is.

The year previous was preparing me for what's next in my life. I let go of some dead weight but also have been holding grudges. If you don't see change start forgiving and moving forward I guarantee things will start moving like never before. Grudges will keep you stagnant. Who needs that?

So here it is I've been saying I'm doing what I have to so I can do what I want. But it leads me here, do you still dream?  Why is it that we seem to stop dreaming while we are trying to survive? Have we given up or given in? God speaks to us daily. We have people shutting down our dreams or God's vision for us constantly.  Check those who doubt you. Be aware that everyone is not for you. Once you've been given a vision run with it. Dream on is a catch phrase people use sarcastically to shut your dreams down. Watch this I'm flipping this negative phrase into a positive catch phrase. As clear as day in the middle of a conversation God said Dream on is yours.  Despite all that has been said dream on and make my vision for you a visual reality. Meaning show them so they can see it.

This is just the beginning of "Dream On" so I look forward to what's next. I share as always with some hope that you get inspired. Watch me style this.

Popping some tags...Thrift finds

What's the word people. Today for me it was Thrift store. I have been a thrifty shopper for many years. It all started back in high school at Salvation Army near NYU. This was like heaven for a kid with chore funds. They had vinyl albums, vintage ties, and my favorite of all leather blazers. I can spot great things immediately. Today was a good day at Unique thrift store in Westbury, NY. Yes some people don't get it but I have no problem with finding treasures. If you have patience and want one of a kind style this is the price you pay. Okay well not costly price but looking through items until you find it. It meaning the one thing you thought you wouldn't find. I spent less than $25.00 and came out with a cute summer clutch, a vintage green suade with leather pocketbook, two really nice necklaces and these must add to the collection earrings. I may be willing to give something away if you are willing to share your coolest thrift store find on instagram #winpearsstyles. Follow me @winpears on instagram or @winpearsstyles on Twitter. Always a great day to shop but if you can't I will for you. Enjoy!

So I am shopping and preparing for my trip to Montego Bay Jamaica and I just love the easiness of the summer apparel this season. Nautical stripes, floral and ethnic prints are really showing up all over. Bohemian sheek is in finally. The accessories are chunky stones and lots of color. So yes WinPears is inspired finally with reason.
