Here at CAbi, the rules are simple: Fashion, Friends and Fun! With all the “what’s going on in the world today” daunting us from every angle, we decided it’s time to get back to basics and to remind our CAbi girlfriends just how significant these three little words can be. So, welcome to the CAbi Canary! “Why Canary?” you may ask. Look at us as your sweet little songbird keeping you fashion enthusiasts informed with the latest and greatest!

Be the first to know about the latest fashion trends and what’s just beyond the style horizon. You’ll find details from the desk of the designer, looks we’re loving, and special “how to” advice. Maybe you secretly want to host “What Not to Wear” — well, this is the perfect opportunity to share your expertise! Whether you’re a fashionista extraordinaire or facing the latest fashion dilemma, we are here for you.

Even more important than the most fabulous frock are the friends who are there when even cashmere can’t provide the comfort you need, and even the best push-up bra isn’t quite the right support. We say it all the time, and ladies, it couldn’t be more true — it’s all about relationships! In our busy lives, it’s hard to find time to just hang out with the girls, so let CAbi Canary be a refuge from the busy-ness of life, even if just for a moment or two.

We’ve got the Fashion, and we’ve got the Friends, so it’s only natural that we’ve got the Fun!

If you follow the award show circuit, frequent the Style Network, or even just glance at magazine covers while in line at the market, there’s no doubt you’ve heard your favorite designers shouting from the runways – color is hot, hot, hot this season! They’re refusing to let the economic gray cloud invade our closets and instead are embracing playful hues that are sure to brighten our days.

Even if color isn’t your forte, it’s easy to incorporate it into your favorite outfits for an instant style update. Let clover be your lucky charm and pucker up for lemon! Electrify in vibrant fuchsia, coral and cobalt blue! While your more adventurous fashionista friends will create audacious unions of color, this trend is totally wearable for those of us who prefer to stay within the lines. If you’re more color-cautious, try throwing a cinema pink or loquat cardigan over your white top and jeans, or add a pop of color to a neutral palette with an orange handbag, piece of statement jewelry, or funky shoe hue in green or yellow. Think you can’t wear color? Think again! You CAN … and you deserve a little fun! So take your cue from the rainbow, and carry your color with confidence. All it takes is a few key pieces to transform into a colorfully courageous stylista!

In case you haven’t noticed, colors are out in full bloom this spring! Stunning bolds or charming pastels – color is a wardrobe staple this season.  For those color-phobes out there, here are a few tips to keep you fashionably safe.

Bright blazers and colorful cardigans are hot this spring and add instant “wow” to your monochromatic and neutral palettes.

If you’re a little unsure about too much color near your face, brighten up your look with a flirty skirt, colored capri, or hot summer sandal.

Accessorize! Nothing marries the must-have statement piece with color like a captivating accessory. Cinch your waist with a colorful belt, adorn your neck with a stunning scarf, or add the finishing touch with a vibrant emerald or lemon handbag. Bold and bright chunky necklaces, bangles, and lavish earrings are a must this spring and are an easy way to add personal flair.

Don’t be afraid of color – embrace it! Color your wardrobe with confidence!
