Designer Spotlight: Valentino Resort 2013 Filled with Spring Trends

4 Feb posted by

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!

Fall trend Alert: Emerald Jewel Tones

7 Nov posted by

Skip your style into the gates of the Emerald City with another great Fall Jewel Tone Trend: Emerald Green!  Seen on the runways and more recently on Rosie Huntington Whiteley in this stunning avant garde Gucci gown! What I love so much about the color emerald is that it comes in an array of colors from hunter to even neon! During Paris Fashion Week, one of the leading trends was the rich hues of emerald seen on an array of different runways in the form of pant suits, gowns, and separates. What’s so great about the color is the richness it brings and sense of royalty! Perfect for the gem tone trend that will have you standing out in a crowd!


Get the Look:

You can rock this indulgent color in the form of a color block dress like the Solemio Into the Woods Dress or as a relaxed top like the Solemio Swing Time Top! If you are really daring and into the colored denim trend, try some emerald green skinny jeans like the Be 1 Dark Green Skinny Jeans! Once you start wearing this trend you will definitely start seeing things a little greener!

Red Carpet Season: Trends from the Emmys

28 Sep posted by

Glitz, glamor, and don’t forget to roll out the red carpet! Its my favorite time of the year: the beginning of the red carpet season has just been kicked off with the Prime Time Emmy Awards! TV’s most infamous stars were dressed to impress during the Los Angeles event! What I love most about the Emmys, is that it always takes place at the end of the summer when the weather is still warm and the trends are still as hot as ever!

One of the best trends that was on the Emmy Red Carpet had to be the cool Citrus Breeze that was oh-so-refreshing! Leading ladies such as Julie Bowen, Claire Danes, and Julianne Moore wore more of a neon citrus while ladies such as Kaley Cuoco and Leslie Mann wore gowns with an orange tint! Needless to say, these trends spoke loud and clear on the red carpet and was a breath of fresh air!

 

If you wanted to see a fish out of water, you definitely saw it on the red carpet this year! Many stars chose the “Fish of the Sea” trend that sported many blue hues that looked as deep as the ocean! Stars like Sofia Vergara in Zuhair Murad and Julianne Hough wore gorgeous ocean colored gowns with incredible detailing that resembled fish scales! Zoe Dechanel and Heidi Klum were as romantic as a rippling reflection in pale pastel blues, while Hayden Panettiere looked like a mermaid caught in a fisherman’s net that left me breathless!

Red is always a great color to wear to an award show because of its strong presence and feminine touch! Many stars looked  absolutely ravishing in red like Kat Dennings in a ruched deep red gown by J. Mendel and Cat Deely in a structured bright red couture gown from Tadashi Shoji. But the stunner of the night in my opinion was definitely comedic actress and writer, Tina Fey, who wore a dark maroon Vivienne Westwood dress that featured a gold embroidered bodice that looked straight out of 18th century Madrid!

 

The Emmy Awards did not disappoint as far as the red carpet went! Celebs came dressed to impress and there were hardly any worst dressed this year! Way to step it up! We can’t wait for the rest of the red carpet season to pick up and dream about wearing all of those designer gowns!

Outfit of the Week: Pink Noir

29 Aug posted by

“She walked into my office with fear that read like a old newspaper, already read and cast aside. She wore nothing but dark colors to hide her face and her past. Color she was looking for, but would she be bold enough to face the truth of what it brings? A job that I didn’t reckon’ taking, but the girl needed my help.”

Film Noir is the scene of the fashion crime that took place this week. My task: to pull an Outfit of the Week that was truly bold enough for our stylist Macy to rock! Thanks to our amazing graphic designer, Tyler, we were able to set the scene of a noir-esc theme to this week’s vibrant outfit!

 

Being inspired by the Kardashians and their fabulous style, I paired the Solemio Jack-O Jacket in Neon Passion with the adorably simple Sis Sis Pocket of Sunshine Tank in Sand. With that, I paired the ever popular Flying Monkey Julie Jeans which are Back in Stock for this upcoming Fall season! These super stretchy black skinny jeans are perfect day or night and oh-so comfortable!

To add some sparkle and sass to this outfit, I accessorized with the geometric Pyramid Cross Necklace in Gold along with some gold bangles and her own earrings. For a shoe, I thought none other then the Fortune Dynamic Mealy Peep Toe in Black because they are super comfortable for a heel and you can literally go from work to a date easily!

 

So if you ever find yourself in a dark wardrobe that might as well be covered with soot and ash, remember that the influence of color can change your life forever!

Paris Haute Couture Fashion Week 2012: Part II

18 Jul posted by

Part II of Paris Haute Couture Fashion Week has had me fantasizing about wearing all of these clothes all week! Let’s start with the designer who seriously knows how to design for women, Miss Donatella Versace! Her Fall 2012 Haute Couture Collection brought me to a place by the beach where the weather is warm and the skirts are short! Tropical and neon colors paired well with the motif of soft and hard in Verscae‘s structured coats and drastic flowing dresses! Needless to say, Versace knows exactly the kind of women who want to wear her clothes!

The last collection that was my personal absolute favorite is the Fall 2012 Collection of Jean Paul Gaultier! Two words: 1920s Boudoir! Gaultier has created a fantasy that began with the first piece that came out on the runway! His structured menswear suits had perfect tailoring and slight feminine touches! His transitions went into modern flapper styles with bright colors and differing fabrics and textures that met with creations that would fit perfectly on the red carpet! Luxurious, decadent, and lavish, Jean Paul Gaultier created a very memorable runway show that screamed couture!

That wraps our Paris Haute Couture Fashion Week! I cannot wait until the next one!
