"Bohemian Rhapsody"

"The 70s always seem to make a fashion comeback, and with good reason. Comfy femininity paired with subtle sexiness is a look that suits everyone. We will see the return of the flare jean, lots of earth tones, fringe, suede and floral patterns. Clogs are also back in style," says Martinez.

"Hint Of Happy"

"Balancing subtle neon accessories with an all black or grey outfit is the trick to stylishly mastering this trend. This might be a thin corded belt in neon or an elegant statement earring with a neon embellishment," says Martinez.

"Red My Lips"

"I love red lipstick. It's that one finishing touch that pulls everything together. There is a perfect shade for everyone, and this trend never goes out of style," notes Martinez.

"Mauve-Lous"

"Is it purple? Is it pink? One thing's for sure, it's a great color that complements most skin tones. This is a color trend I am actually very excited about. Pair floral patterns with a solid mauve blouse for a sophisticated look," advises Martinez.

"Dress-Up Time"

On a final fashion tip, Martinez philosophizes a little: "My theory has always been that you can never go wrong with a dress. They pack well if going on vacation, are 'grab-and-go' style solutions in the early morning hours prior to your coffee and always look well put together. More and more, ladies are realizing this, so we are seeing a resurgence of the dress trend."
