Ruffles: Another Fashion Trend This Spring!

Heather — Sat, 30 May 2009 16:47:52 +0000

Ruffles! This season is honestly all about the ruffles and bows. Whether you are looking at a spring dress or you are looking at a blouse, whenever you think spring, it should be all ruffles this season! Take these three incredible looks, they all look amazing on the model and to be honest I happen to love ruffles!

This season ladies, it is time for you to pull out all of those older pieces that are covered in ruffles and deck yourself out. You will be at the height of fashion and I can definitely promise that no one in the world will laugh at you – honestly!

Just remember, while ruffles may look innocent and such, they can definitely be sexy and chic as well, so keep that in mind whenever you are shopping this season!

J. Mendel Fashion Spring/Summer 2008

Catwalk Report — Mon, 14 Jan 2008 00:01:51 +0000

Loved this post from blog-tique — decided to give them some lovin’!

The J. Mendel Spring/Summer IS a really versatile collection. I’ve selected a number of look, not only to show you the versatility, but also to show my personal favorites from a collection I’m really enjoying! [...] 1. Beautiful knitted dress. I love the belt, and the volume of the lower half of the dress. Pretty! 2. Elegant, sexy and feminine. A sober dress that just works. I love the color! 3. A classy suit with a breathtaking jacket. This combo is gorgeous with the scarf. Another lovely piece! 4. A crowded dress — but J. Mendel pulls it off. Deep decolleté, very sexy indeed! 5. 70’s feel dress — my favorite. Very intimate.

Rad Hourani Spring/Summer 2008 Paris Catwalk Show

Vanessa — Sun, 16 Dec 2007 17:56:29 +0000

This collection is beautiful, although the dark colors may not suit all for the warmer months. The show was beautiful itself, despite the use of blacks and browns. The models wore very minimal make-up, which I think is a great aspect. Normally when you have models who are covered in glitter and glam themselves, it takes away from the designs. The clothes are what we want to see, and this collection was presented brilliantly. The burst of white in the last picture is great, and I love the leather in the designs. Overall it was a beautiful collection and very well presented on the catwalkJ

Elena Miro Spring/Summer 2008 in Milan

Vanessa — Wed, 12 Dec 2007 13:29:08 +0000

The reason that this is one of my favorite catwalk shows this season is because the Elena Miro collection is geared toward the larger woman. While the models in the show weren’t terribly larger than the normally wafer-thin models that we see, they were still a bit larger, making it seem like this collection is great for regular women, those who are not a size 0, you know, those of us in the real world. I love that the models all look so happy and have so much sexy confidence. It’s great to see a catwalk show that informs the world that you don’t have to be stick skinny to look sexy. The designs themselves are gorgeous, and really give a sophisticated and elegant sexy look to whoever wears them.

Aurelio Costarella Spring/Summer 2008 NYC

Vanessa — Sun, 25 Nov 2007 16:44:25 +0000

This was a gorgeous catwalk show. The Aurelio Costarella collection for 2008 was titled “Of Heaven and Earth”. The designs were elegant and sexy, and the whole show was so fun to watch. I adore the color palette that he used for this. I truly expect to see some of these dresses on celebrities during award shows in the coming months. The strapless with the slash side pockets is my absolute favorite. It is very innovative. Overall, the entire collection is great – colors, styles, fabrics – everything was perfect! I do wish they would encourage smiling more from the models. After all, these designs are so beautiful I, for one would be grinning like a Chessy Cat just to wear them.

H Fredriksson Spring/Summer 2008 NYC

Vanessa — Sat, 24 Nov 2007 16:21:22 +0000

H Fredriksson puts on a wonderful catwalk show. I love these designs, the colors are beautiful and the silky fabrics have a wonderfully sexy flow about them. Even the trousers are sexy. While I wasn’t completely pleased by the hairstyles that they put on the models, the designs are brilliant, and, after all, we are talking design here, not hair. So, overall, I loved the collection. The neutral colors are beautiful, and many of these designs look as if they will work with any body size and shape, which makes them even better.

Diane Von Furstenberg: Spring|Summer 2008

Catwalk Report — Sat, 17 Nov 2007 14:53:15 +0000

An excellent Diane Von Furstenberg collection shown earlier this week. The dresses are great, and the featherweight fabrics will make sure women strutting their stuff in the Diane Von Furstenberg ss08 collection will not only look sexy, but feel it too!

I like the fact that this collection is pure wearable chic — I can’t wait to try one of these on!
