Neon Sun

My hiatus is now over and I am settled into being home in FL. I apologize for the long pause.. Roc Me Out is back to share our ideas, thoughts, updates, and love for beauty/fashion! I took the last 2 weeks to unpack, settle in, see family, and attend a wedding. The Summer is officially here with temperatures in the 90’s! When it comes to daytime outfits in FL, less is definitely more! Unless we are talking about accessorizing, of course!

Neon is a summer color that I love! A great way to add a pop of color to any outfit is a bright mani/pedi with dainty accessories.

Lady Gaga for Versace

This photo popped out to me for a few different reasons. Versace’s homepage displays their new campaign- Lady Gaga for Versace! Love everything about this from her chunky jewelry, MIDI RINGS, the pastel tote bags, and Gaga’s  fierce pose. This almost reminds me of an under the sea spring look because of the couch’s oyster shell shape, sea-like coloring, and the natural make-up.

Midi-rings are fun accessories that adds a little something extra to the usual ring look. Shop our ring collection at Roc Me Out Online Boutique and get right this Spring!!

Your favorite dress recycled

Living in Italy for months on just a few suitcases means you must recycle your favorite pieces. I wore this dress on New Years but wanted to bring it back in a new way last night.

I decided to turn the above dress into a top by tucking it into my Express pencil skirt.

Mixing and matching items will expand your closet in a creative way. This can be used with shorts and jeans too. I like the pencil skirt with a tucked in tight dress because it is smooth and ties together great!

It’s A Black And White Spring!

I recently posted the official Spring/Summer color guide for 2014! I know.. They were BOLD and BRIGHT, but the black & white staple look has been hotter than ever. The posh look strolled the runways in a major way during fashion week. We saw floral prints, stripes, and big totes all in black and white.

Although Versace has a Spring/Summer  pastel bag line appropriately enough, they also have new totes in ALL black. I don’t know which I love more…  Lady Gaga’s Ad or the bag below. Donatella and Lady Gaga have a similar aura.. Agree?

Fun In Floral

Spring 2014 is full of bright colors, botanical prints, and feminine lace! I still love high-wasted skirts that fit the body just right, so mix this hot print with an accentuating pencil skirt and I will be happy. This skirt is available at the European store, OVS in Italy for only 16 Euros. They did not have my size, but I will be checking out the other local locations for this product. Its reminiscent of 70s daisy flowers but the black background gives this skirt a grown woman look.

Hopefully similar stores in The U.S. like H&M will carry looks like this.

The official color guide of Spring 2014 is bright, bold, and beautiful. The colors are diverse but pair great together.

The above maxi dress hits this freesia yellow right on. The light fabric and open caged back is cool and comfortable. This style maxi dress is nice for any body type.

Cayenne red is on the hot list this season.. Red is a color that turns heads. This accentuating wrap dress fits at the waist and offers a sexy look without exposing too much.

Dazzling Blue is a bold pop of color that matches great with a variety of other colors and accessories. Our Roc Blue Dress can be dressed up or casual. The gold embellishments add a sparkle and a bit of a bad girl look.

Men Of The Oscars!

Our favorite looks of The Oscars 2014!

Our favorite looks of The Oscars 2014!

The men were looking so fresh and so clean last night.. Here are our favorite masculine looks of the 2014 Oscars.

Left: Bradley Cooper in Tom Ford is looking dapper and handsome. This suite fits him great and the rugged beard does not hurt either. Looking better than even in my opinion

Middle: Will Smith in Berluti is looking gorgeous and his selection fits his cool, laid back look just right. The open collar is comfortable and sexy.

Kevin Spacey in Burberry is looking edgy and young. This was a perfect selection to add some youth and color. This blue suit is my favorite look for the men this year because it is eye catching and pops. Burberry was a great choice last night.

Phew! They had some lucky dates but of course they were stunning as well.

Ladies Of The Oscars

I am living in Italy right now so with the time difference, I did not stay up to watch The Oscars but I did take part in the red carpet (of course!).. My favorite looks this year all seem to be within the black and white theme, except for Mrs. Washington. Plunging necklines, fishtails, halter top neckline, and beautiful textures were very popular last night. Love the plunging neckline look!

Left: Portia De Rossi wearing Naeem Khan. I love the detail of this fabric. The print almost reminds me of Louis Vuitton desgin but its not. The cinched waist and hip hugging design looks flattering and fabulous on Ellen’s longtime girlfriend. 

Top left: Kate Hudson wearing Atelier Versace. This white gown is stunning and fits like a glove. The best part is the plunging open back design and draped cape look. I am always a big fan of open back dresses. The shoulder pads even work well here. 

Bottom middle: Kerry Washington –The star of  Scandal  wore a purple strapless gown by Jason Wu. Royal purple is my favorite color, so no wonder why I choose  this gown  as my favorite look at this years Oscars, or maybe it is because Kerry is glowing?! She is stunning with her dark lip and matching nail polish. Flawless.

Not to mention Scandal is my absolute favorite TV show.. I usually don’t get to obsessed with popular TV seasons. However this is my guilty pleasure and I don’t know what to do with myself when an episode ends.. Wait an entire week!?!? Ugh! If you have not watched go on Netflix, start at the beginning, and be prepared for your own obsession!

Top right: Anne Hathaway in Gucci halter gown. Wow. The photo probably does not do this dress justice because I can tell that the intricate design and detail is perfection. This slim fitting gown looks like a million bucks to me. Black and gold is regal and fit for a movie star. The back has a slit that ads sex appeal as well. I would love to try this dress on, just one time! It shines in all the right places.

Bottom right: Charlize Theron is a natural beauty but last night she was looking like a star in this black mermaid/fishtail fitting gown. This dramatic sexy look was paired with dripping diamonds.

Now we will wait to see what the Fashion Police have to say! Cant wait for the premier Oscar episode on E Friday night! I am sure the ladies and gents will have their claws out.. Raawr!

This skirt was released in the midst of winter weather so it hasn’t had a chance to be styled and worn out.. Today is rainy with temperatures in the mid 40s in Cremona, Italy, so I am day dreaming about sunshine, skirts, tank tops, and sandals. With Spring/Summer 14′ right around the corner, it is time to collect pieces for warmer days. This high wasted skirt with a zipper back looks great paired with a tucked in tank, crop top, or jean jacket. Get the look now at www.rocmeout.com!
