How cool is this vintage sewing pattern piece?! I've kind-of been in love with this risque and modest fashion choice of wearing inner-as-outwear. I guess it relates back to my love of separate pieces in an outfit. Now I wouldn't necessarily go right out there and wear just a bra a public, but you can wear coverups and sheer tops and make it look really elegant. The style also relates, obviously, to bikinis sported by vintage Hollywood starlets. In the 1950s, this cool trend was paired with shorts and worn to different sports events. Quite an easy way to stay cool! These necessities aren't just unmentionables anymore!

Nowadays you can see this trend at music festivals, at the beach, and even on the runway!

What do you guys think of this trend?

Imagine being swept away the tide with this gorgeous trend for spring, the wave print. From Monique Lhuillier's Japanese wave-print fabrics and aqua eyeshadow, to Alberta Ferretti's mermaid gowns and just out-of-the-sea hair. Since blue is my favorite color, I had to cover this trend because it's just so perfect for spring and summer. Enjoy all the color!
 

 
Have a great weekend!

The Ripple Effect
Sssssay hi to one of my favorite trends for this spring. The snake print. According to the Lunar calendar, 2013 is the year of the snake, which makes this all the more fun. Snakeskin is practically everywhere, at least it was on the runway. Donning on handbags, shoes, jewelry, and made its way onto some gorgeous dresses (as seen in Erdem and Proenza Schouler). The print can be bold and unconventional, but it makes the perfect choice to add that edge to your wardrobe! It may seem intimidating at first to try to wear, but it can be easy to pull off. I am going to start off easy and mix it into an accessory, and then possibly a maxi dress.What do you think of this trend? Would you dare to slither into this trend?

Friday Favorites: The Snake Trend
How gorgeous does this woman look?! Image credit: Flickr

I love finding a trend that was popular years ago and ends up popping up again in this decade. I was really surprised to see that the bermuda short was going to be one of these trends for Spring 2013. Now, I'm not one that is going to personally wear this trend because I do not have the right body type for them. If I did, I would prefer slimmer cut Bermudas so as not to add extra volume to my legs or waist. So for women who do, it can be really chic to wear these shorts with a pair of flats or heels. That's the great thing about them, you can wear them in a comfy way or even in a dressed up way and they still look great.  These shorts can give you some great coverage too, for those legs that are not yet tanned, and will keep you cool when it starts to get sweltering out. So I decided to put together two looks that I would wear, if I had the right body type.
 
This would be a great daytime look. Thought it would be fun to add a pair of sandals to give it a more casual style. I love these Alice + Olivia cuffed Bermudas in a army green color.
 
I'm not one to wear really high heels because I'm already 5'8", so these ModCloth mid-heels are absolutely perfect for this dressy outfit. I thought to pair a blazer to give it a more sophisticated look!
 
So readers, what do you think of the Bermuda trend? Let me know!
 
Have a great weekend!

Trendy Saturday: The Bermuda Short


So I've been currently obsessing over Chloe's Spring/Summer 2013 collection. The pastel hues, rompers, knee length dresses are getting me through the end of Winter. Yes, I know it's officially Spring, but here in Minnesota we've decided to keep the cold weather and the piles and piles of snow. these rompers and pastel hues are getting me through the tail end of Winter. This line was such a perfect assorment of what feminine and ladylike can and should be. Since I was looking for some Spring 2013 trends, I found this great snippet in Glamour's March 2013 edition, and it's all about ruffles. Little did I know when researching that it was one of the top trends seen down the runway for this season. This collection was perfect for this this! I love ruffle accents for many reasons: they're simple and add such a unique twist to any piece. I also noticed that designers have been taking a more modern twist to the ruffle, making them look stiff and austere. So what is the best thing about wearing them? They really are their own personal accessory, no there's need to add any over-the-top jewelry, the ruffle just speaks for itself. So here's just a few more affordable ideas to add this easy accessory into your wardrobe!
