Outfit of the Week: Blue Lace and a Pop of Color

For this week’s Outfit of the Week, we wanted to take the lace dress trend and feature it in a slightly unexpected way–in electric blue! No demure cream and ivory laces here, this dress is both sweet and sassy, soft and loud! Kim is wearing the Mystic All Dolled Up Dress, a gorgeous lace number with a sheer waistband and a full skirt. We added bold accessories in yellow and teal to make a statement–and let everyone know this is an outfit to have fun in! She has on gold and yellow jewelry, and the color blocked Delicious Rainer Heel in Teal, which matches perfectly with her teal belt. Now who’s ready for a fun night out?

Outfit of the Week: Denim

This week at ForElyse.com, we’re all about denim, so we wanted to style an outfit of the week that showcased denim. Denim (outside of a pair of jeans) can often be hard to style if you’re going for a more feminine look, so we wanted to show you our take on a soft and romantic denim outfit that doesn’t rely on a dress to do all the work! So we got our model, Angela, all dressed up and then popped out to shoot these photos outside the Stansbury House, a historic home turned museum in downtown Chico. The beautiful garden and weathered front steps made the perfect backdrop!

Floral Skinny Jeans and Denim Shirt

Angela is wearing the BVLD Jeanius Denim Top over the Alythea Embrace Lace Crop Top in cream, along with our new Klique B Flower Print Skinny Jeans. The lace and floral print soften the look of the denim, while the darker denim top keeps the outfit from appearing washed out. The shirt can be worn open, buttoned half way, or tied at the waist. She’s also wearing a pair of nude wedges–the Delicious Durko Heel, which are the perfect neutral shoe to go with tons of outfits, and red accessories to bring out the subtle red in the jeans.

Pow! Bam! Zap! Tom Ford Fall 2013 Runway Show

Pow! Boom! Crack! New York Fashion Week was blown away with the comic book influences for Tom Ford Fall 2013 Collection that opened with a BANG!  Ford played with prints, textures, and color schemes! From vibrant floral printed pants, to black and white tribal printed dress, Ford experimented with what “matches” and it worked! Not only was his work experiential, but incorporated bright graphic designs that resembled punches and blows from a child’s comic book! This collection was so fun and the way he worked in bright colors with contrasting textures kept it young in fresh when Fall sometimes can look drab. Tom Ford’s funky collection left fashion week with a giant KAH-POW!

Designer Spotlight: Valentino Resort 2013 Filled with Spring Trends

Spring trends are popping up like daisies on every runway but there is one collection in particular that reflects all the upcoming Spring 2013 Trends and that’s none other then the Valentino Resort Spring 2013 Collection! From florals to ivory antique lace and pastels to neon, Valentino Resort 2013 has been seen on a varitey of celebrities from high profile red carpet event to passings on the street! We aren’t the only ones who can’t get enough of Valentino!

Floral Prints:

Graphic floral prints are huge this spring and Valentino makes no exception with prints! From bright and vibrant to soft muted floral designs, the floral print is a staple print in this collection that reflects the sweeter side of spring! Recently during this year’s red carpet season, star of Modern Family Ariel Winter was looking fresh and young in this nude and bright printed floral Valentino dress! The print and the length were completely age appropriate for her and she looks like an incredibly sophisticated young lady. Rose Burns was also in Valentino Resort for the SAG Awards and rocked this floral gown with a soft finger wave curl reflecting a trendy 20s inspired look.

Soft Pastels

Pastels are a huge trend that’s coming back this spring but this time around with a new fresh face! With a softer pallet, Valentino’s pastels are delicate and oh-so feminine! New mom Jessica Alba was glowing at a red carpet event in this blush Valentino gown that had a sheer element, cap sleeves, and an embroidered floral print. Alba looked stunning in this gown with a slicked back bun, fresh makeup, and her new mom glow!

Neon Brights

Neon was a huge trend last year and is coming back around this year! Bright greens and fuchsias gave an electric feel to this collection and are perfect if you want to stand out! Emma Stone stood out in this amazing neon pink Valentino dress paired with a hounds-tooth pump that was remarkably fresh and edgy at Elle Magazine’s Women in Hollywood event! Lea Michele also pulled out all the stops in this fuchsia Valentino gown at the SAG Awards which looked so cool with her trendy ombre hair!

Ivory Antique Lace

One of my favorite combos of spring is ivory and lace and there was plenty of amazing delicate pieces from the Valentino Resort! Sweet dresses, edgy pantsuits, and gowns were all created in intricate ivory lace that is in a word timeless! I just can’t get enough of it and neither can Jessica Biel who wore this Valentino lace jumpsuit in London with coral earring and pumps! So cute!

Bling in the New Year: Finding the Perfect New Years Outfit

New Years Eve is right round the corner and personally I love to pile on the glitter, add some shimmer, and dance the night away in an outfit the screams “Bling in the New Year!” Seriously, this is the one day of the year where you can actually use the phrase, ” the more glitter the better!” Keeping that in mind here are some great ways to put together the perfect New Years Outfit that will have you turning heads all night!

This New Years season, sparkle and sequins are in! To get some of the glitter-factor try a dress like the Solemio Bling in the New Year Dress! Adorable taupe colored dress has a sweetheart sequin bodice that is so glamorous and has a sweet touch with the asymmetrical floral lace skirt! If you want to keep with the shiny sequin route, you will love the Solemio Let’s Toast Dress! Super cute color block shift dress has a loose fitting white top with a body con all sequin skirt! Super sexy and great for a New Years Eve Party! Black is another great color for New Years! You can even have a glitz and glam moment with the Solemio Glitter-ator Dress in Black! Sexy and simple black body con dress has a few surprises with an asymmetrical sequin strap and part of bodice along with a keyhole slit at bust! High low hems are so fun and perfect for the event in the Mystic gold With Envy Dress! Strapless black dress has a gold embroidered bodice with sexy cutouts and trendy high low hem! Perfect for a romantic dinner on New Years Eve!

 

Your shoes on New Years Eve should speak for themselves! Add some sparkle to your LBD with the Delicious Joy Heel in the metallic silver color with encrusted rhinestones on heel! You can also go for a more luxurious shoe with the black velvet Delicious Shape Velvet Heel! These add a pop of sparkle with rhinestones on platform and heel!

 

When it comes to party hopping, you don’t want to be lugging around a huge purse! Try something sassy like the Secret City Metallic Clutch in Pewter that’s super lightweight and has rhinestones and studs on front! Perfect for a celebration! If you love a crossbody bag you will the the Little Coco Clutch in Silver to hold just what you need and add some shine to your outfit!

Winter Trend Alert: Winter White

I’m dreaming of a white Christmas… and one that is acceptable after Labor Day! Luckily one of the newest winter trends is head-to-toe Winter White! This light bright trend was seen all over the Fall 2012 runways since designers love to break old cliche fashion rules like “no wearing white after labor day.” The winter white trend is embracing the color of the season, snow, and dressing yourself in white from your top to your shoes! Celebrities like Miranda Kerr and Jennifer Lopez have been spotted in white separates like a blazer, top, pants, and shoes all in white! The red carpet is another great place to spot the winter white trend! Just recently Anne Hathaway wore a white cold shoulder long sleeve gown at the Les Miserables premier while Carmen Electra wore a sophisticated white dress that was accented with gold and had sexy cutouts! You think you can rock the Winter White trend, well of course you can!

Get the Look:

Wearing all white can seriously be intimidating and I know this first hand! But that doesn’t mean that you can’t partake in the Winter White Trend! Start by adding some white accessories to your wardrobe like the Head in the Clouds Infinity Scarf in Ivory or the Let it Snow Ear Warmer in White to add a cold weather touch to your outfit! For a holiday party, look like a snow angel in the Alythea Heart of Gold Dress in Ivory with some cute pumps and a clutch! For your family dinner and holiday gatherings put on the Love Stitch Surprise Back Top in White or the Solemio Lace It Up Top Ivory to add a softer touch to your outfit! You could also steel some of the Kardashian- swag and wear the Lush Tuxedo Blazer to a holiday party and rock the menswear and winter white trend all together!
