It’s festival season! If you’re in the NYC area and attending Bamboozle, or travelling nation/worldwide for a festival, you will appreciate this.

Our good friends at Fueled by Ramen are sponsoring today’s post for Band T-Shirt Tuesday! If you absolutely love the t-shirts we are wearing below (as much as we do), you can get them by going to the Fueled by Ramen webstore.

We put on our awesome band t-shirts and had a quick Q&A with our Happy NYC staff. This time the questions were answered by Zena, Dan, Tashana, Crystal, Jill, Andrea and Lauren.

and of course, we had to have fun here

Working from the roof!

Last saturday RTL4 aired a show called ‘De Jongens Tegen De Meisjes’. In the pictures below you can see TV-host Tijl Backand wearing these in the ring.

Blah blah blah, the weather. It’s a constant topic of discussion, especially in NYC and Sweden because one day it’s hot, and the next, it’s freezing! We can’t keep up, but what we can do is stay bright. Our favorite trend of the moment does just that – Color Blocking! Your outfit can keep you shining no matter what the weather.

We have been inspired by some of our wonderful Happy fans’ personal style, so we want to share their fashion sense with you. Whether you wear shorts, a skirt, or rolled up boyfriend jeans, you can color block! Go ahead, be a risk taker. How, you ask? Check the photo diary we’ve added below that showcase some of our favorite stylings of color blocking. One easy and effortless way to add some pizzaz to your Spring gear is to get these, and the work is done for you.

Otherwise, brighten up those sandals while your feet deal with the temperamental weather with a fun ankle sock, like these or these colorful statement pieces. If you aren’t into the whole ‘head-to-toe’ color block, pair them with light or neutral pieces – you’ll still have the pop of color when you look down.

Because color blocking is such a statement, it is seen most often on the runway or on the streets in the form of accessories. You can take it a step further, though. Take a look at these incredible pieces for inspiration!

Keep it simple on top, party on the bottom like Katelyn did here:

On the runway, color blocking is huge! Check out these great orange socks:

Or, if you want to be really bold, go with a bright shoe AND tights! You go girl.

Some more inspirations for color blocking. You can make it your own, check out how these fashionistas styled it:

Happy blocking!
