Trend Report: Print Party

Color. The very use of it dazzles the eye, making it dance from one corner to the next. To take spectacular colors to create a print, creates wearable art that fashion gals artfully mix and match into this self-proclaimed 'print party' of a trend.

A colorful print inspired by jeweled glamour paired with a casual backpack and wide-brimmed hat.

Birkenstock-style sandals redone with a silver metallic and gold studded twist get kitschy in style when paired with floral cropped jeans and plush pink socks.

A row of Starbucks drinks in hand, these three gals keep it classic yet fun.

Who said color clashing had to be limited to clothing? The purple dip-dye, yellow varsity jacket, and costume jewelry strikes a note between Madonna circa 1980 and modern-day Laker fan.

A notable nod to the eccentric style of the Japanese Harajuku girls.

Like a walking piece of fashion and art, the lines and colors in this ensemble are reminiscent of the Bauhaus art.

Fuzzy color lines on a fur coat make a strong, yet playful statement.

Literally rocking the color trend from head to tippy tippy toe.

Cotton candy locks, rich blue velvet coat, and metallic olive trousers assert that the fun fashion is just as relevant.

PRINT REPORT : Tavern Fever

SPRING IS HERE!! Well in Southern California at least! 

Traditionally we tend to like to wear lighter fabrics and prints in the spring. This spring though we are changing the print that is typically used in the Fall/Winter lines. Tavern, Plaid, Gingham are the three main looks we have scene.

Even though red is a darker color for spring, with the lighter fabrications and textiles the designers are creating this awesome pieces that the bloggers are styling so perfectly! The print on print is calming when you look the colors she chose to put together. We also love that the print is enlarged and made to feel a little but more feminine.

From Button-up shirts, to Bottoms, Dresses, Jackets, Skirts, Bags, and Shoes these geometric and classic prints are mix-matched and perfect change for the Spring 2014! 

Another GREAT and AMAZING idea about these prints is the fact that any age group,target market, or demographic location can put together an outfit with these prints. Classic geometric prints are not just for the business class work life style! Have fun and get inspired by the Irish this week and celebrate plaids for Spring 2014!

Color Theory: Metallic Shine for Spring, Time to Shine!

Shine! For Spring, Ralph Rucci, Altuzurra, Diane Von Fursteng, Jason We and other designers have shown little bit of metallic looks into their collections. 

Very cool hue of metallic look! It's so innovative to see cool tone of metallic fabric. Versace's Spring RTW runway definitely showed new and fresh look to the Spring.

                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                             This dress by Givenchy shows feminine and glamorous look while the metallic luster gives chic atmosphere to it. It was very interesting to see both feminine silhouette yet bold medium of the dress.

This tile looking fresh design is by Tom Ford. This design shows very strong sense which gives the perfect match with metallic. Also the mosaic looking fabric made his runway more fun.

Mix matching with gold and silver! It can be known as the basic for metallic looks. But Saint Laurent's SS runway showed various way to mix match the metallic items. This gorgeous dress seems more lustrous due to the folds/ wrinkles on the waist line. 

Very pop color! It is another look of metallic. Purple, silver and royal blue goes together perfect! This metallic, shinny look and the colors come as one chic style. Also, we can guess by the choices of color and style that it is from Lanvin. 

Somewhat antique, yet modern design by Savatore Ferragamo's runway showed bit of metallic look in his own way. It was very interesting to see the trend that had been interpreted in his idea.

Red and HOT pink shinny look is by Lanvin. Like the previous look, this look also gives wild, tough, yet romantic atmosphere.

Anything Else?

In addition, if the whole thing about going metallic is too much for you, there is another way to follow the trend! Accessories can be the way of emphasizing with the minimized item. These clutches are by 3.1 Phillip Lim, Anya Hindmarch, and Proenza which can be purchase in store with reasonable price!

 Pop colors of metallic shoes! This can be the definite emphasize on your outfit! Following trend yet it is not too much! Especially this red pump by Roger Vivier gives sexy and romantic sense.

For Spring which have just started, let's not stick with old floral, girly prints and colors! 

Let's have fun with this tough, chic, yet romantic shines!

Trend Report: White Washed in Paris

Monochromatic white has taken over the streets of Paris as bloggers and fashion editors alike mix textures and tones to achieve stunning white washed looks. 

The thinnest of striped palazzo pants make a lavish statement paired with an ivory cream, fur-trimmed coat and a tousled bun.

Simplicity at its finest, an all white ensemble comprised of a silk blazer and fluted mini direct the focus straight to the black-and-white checker heels.

Quilting isn't just for the bedding. This quilted ivory sweatshirt skirt set sends a strong message – perfection in casual chic. The texture in the quilted textile gives the outfit a relaxed, yet chicly structured look finished off with a statement cross body bag.

Elegance is the key. White palazzo cut at the exact perfect length for optimum height illusions give this look all the elegance in the world. The structured top, metallic gold collar, and casual anorak are just the extra cherries on top.

This perfectly tailored dress strikes the precise chord between polished and edgy. With a flair of Chanel influence, circa Spring 2013, this delicately tailored frock pairs wonderfully with a tough pair of printed platform oxfords.

Using her white coat as a clean canvas for pops of deliciously bright color bursts of soft pink and canary yellow. This white ensemble definitely showcases the color of the accessories.

Another example of how white can be the ideal backdrop to show off your accessories du jour. Pops of turquoise and blue-green shades highlight simplicity.

Tousled bob, velvet duster, and tennis inspired white ensemble? Such an unexpected combination that seamlessly creates an effortless look of ease and Parisian chic.

Suit up. In a light colored, monochromatic suit, the tailoring is key. With slim trousers and a boxy, oversized blazer, this look proves the effectiveness of a great tailor.

This many differently colored accessories would never work in anything other than this classic silhouette of white. Fitted turtleneck sweater with a precisely cut A-line skirt is the ideal backdrop for her pops of idiosyncratic color.
