Style Week Resort Miami : DAY 3!

Well Style Week Resort Miami has finally come to a close and I bring you the final recap of the last three shows! This day proved to be the best of the three. With the last show bringing a new twist to the ol' runway show technique and not to mention we got a nice swag bag to take home. 


So as always, my outfit for the last night!

Sheer Floral Pants : Forever 21. Top : Forever 21. Bag : Micheal Kohrs. Studded Heels : Wild @ Bakers. 

And now let's get started with the first show of the night. This was the line of Project Runway contestant Janeane Marie. I had high hopes for this line, but it only made me yawn with boredom. The color choice was boring and bland with only black, white, beige and ONE teal piece. Her pieces proved to be just as boring as the colors. With flowy shorts and skirts, a weird peplum piece and lots of short tops it was something that's been done before and nothing orignal. The line also consisted of only 8 pieces. The only thing I liked about this line was an outfit that consisted of some gold flowy shorts. 

Up next, we had Jonathan Joseph Peter's line who was also a contestant on Project Runway. The whole line consisted on teals, oranges, white and yellow. There was tons of lace and the jewelry was gorgeous! The only thing I didn't like was the weird flower print and the outfit choices for men looked like something you'd see the trapeze people wearing at Circus Soleil. There was also this skirt that reminded me of my grandma's drapes, but the top and jewelry on the outfit were on point. Overall an okay line, very few pieces as well. 

Last but not least, we had Alessandra Gold's line. I expected crazy and tacky outfits from what I'd been hearing, but let me say that her show blowed me away. It was fun, upbeat with bright, bold pieces. Not to mention her runway show came with a surprise dance routine which was beyond words. Her line is dedicated to the urban street warriors and it included neons, fringe, tribal patterns and metallics. Her show line was to die for. Alessandra isn't your typical fashion line, but it's different and her vision translated into her show. 






Well that's all for this Style Week. I'm relaxing as much as possible because in 2 short days I begin none other then Mercedes Benz Fashion Week Swim 2013 and it's a crazy, tiring week! Stay tuned for recaps of all the shows and parties. Until next time my fashion disciples! 


What line was your favorite?

Summer Trend Report 2012

As we start summer, we leave behind our spring threads and dive head first into the new trends! I bring to you today the Summer Trend Report 2012! No girl dares to be caught in last season threads and although a lot of spring trends stuck around, summer brings us some new and fun fashion styles!

Orange: Orange isn’t going anywhere this summer. We saw it all spring and we’re sure to see it all summer. From shirts to dresses to pants we’ve seen this color everywhere. It’s a perfect color to add to any outfit for a splash of color, but you be careful to not overdue it or you’ll look like you stole someone’s prison jumpsuit.

Neon: I am pleased to say the neon trend is also here to stay. This is one of my personal favorites. You can wear it on your nails, shoes, accessories or clothing! Neon is a fun way to show your personality. Neon bathing suits are a perfect idea for summer or get your hands and feet ready with a neon mani/pedi! 

High Waisted Shorts: Vintage style shorts are super in for summer. From shorts with designs or just plain jean, you can wear them to the beach or out on the town with your favorite Jeffery Campbells. You can make your own pair too! Check out my tutorial on em'

Tiny Tops: Tiny tops are a go for this upcoming season. From neon crop tops to bustier style short tops, these are everywhere. You can pair them with a skirt, either long or short or with a pair of those high waisted shorts. 

Florals: Also seen in spring, florals are sticking around. Large, loud flower patterns are all the rage.  Pair some floral shorts with a cute orange button down and your right on trend and super cute! I personally love the floral pants and blazers coming out. Floral pants with a plain crop top and some banging heels and you got yourself a perfect night out outfit. 

Mixing Prints: Step outside your comfort zone with this summer trend. Grab those cheetah flats and pair em’ with your new floral shorts or blazer. Mixing prints is a bit risky, but such a fun way to play with your closet. How about some lace with tribal prints? Or galaxy patterns with animal print? Just make sure the colors all compliment each other and none of the patterns are too bold and all of you can pull this off without any extra effort. 

Pastels: Soft, pastel colors are all over the stores this season! From gorgeous mint green maxis to soft pink skinnys, this is a must have for all the fashionistas. The pastel maxi skirts and skinnys are my personal fav! They are so cute and classy. A pastel bag is also a great way to incorporate the trend.

And there you have it! Your summer trend report for 2012! Get your shopping shoes ready and hit the stores to grab these items to keep your closet summer ready!

This Season's : Nail Trends

As Spring surrounds us and Summer's touch is close by, we bask in the beauty of neons, florals and pastels. The trends don't stop there though! We have gorgeous trends for pretty little hands and feet as well. Below I've listed the top 4 and I personally believe each one is a must-try because they could not be more fun and fabulous!

 

C/O Birchbox

 

1. Ombre Nails: It's like the hair trend, but for your nails! You can achieve this look by painting each of your five nails a different shade of one color. Meaning if you picked blue, you would go from light to dark blue as you paint your nails. We saw the ombre look all over the runways this season and I think it's a fun, new look to try out especially with pastel and neon polish!

2.  Reverse French Manicure: I absolutely love this look! It is so fun and fierce. You start by picking any two colors you would like, one for the main part and one for the peek-a-boo reverse french. You begin by painting your nail the color you would like for the french part. Let it dry completely! Then you can make the french part two shapes, a half moon or a triangle like the picture. For the half moon, place the nail stickers close to the bed of your cuticles covering what you want to show, then paint the rest of your nails the other color, top coat it and there ya have it! For the triangle, you paint the rest of your nail diagonally to the right, then to the left leaving the bottom on your nail showing with the previous color.

3. Glitter Nails: Now this trend I LOVE! I'm convinced glitter runs through my veins. Add some glitter to your mani & it's an instant party! You can paint your nails entirely with glitter or use it as a top coat. Start with your favorite polish and add this on top for a pop of sass. You can also use the glitter to do a french mani. There's so many ways to wear it, how can one choose?!

4. Neon Polish: This is so perfect for summer. From bright oranges to shocking pinks, this trend is a must try for everyone. Keep it simple though, no crazy two toned manis. you can add a top coat of glitter is you like, but keep it subtle. Now all neon colors are a bit translucent, so make sure to paint your nails a light white first and then apply the neon color so it pops!

So my lovelies, what do you think of this season's nail trends? Will you try any out or play it safe with your usual color?

Their pieces range from $18-$145. All their pieces are exactly what an outfit needs to make it pop!
