Designers go mad this spring with some of the craziest accessories. Fringes, clogs, muls and extreme platforms are poised to be the next big coolness. However I have serious doubts that these trends will get into our spring wardrobes so easily.

When choosing the perfect wedding dress, the key elements you need to look for are comfort and tailoring. Although the dress may be amazing, it can never look smashing on you, unless it’s personalized for you size and shape.
There are lots of great gowns out there that set the trend guidelines for this year, so even if you are tall, boyish or you are shopping for plus size wedding dresses, you will definitely find something that will suit you perfectly to walk down the aisle in great style.
The Greek-inspired look floats on one shoulder for a subtle sexiness effect. This look can be applied on several types of silhouettes because of its flowing line.
This shape is upgraded this season with embellished pearls or other type of embroidery. This should focus on a single element and the embellishments should be in the same tone and feel as the dress.
Colorful sashes and details add a modern touch to the classic wedding patterns. Color schemes can make the whole event feel brighter and more fun. Think your favorite color but don’t overwork it. Use at most 2 colored details or if you are brave you could try a two-toned dress as well.
It is a fact that the column and trumpet type dresses are now very up-to-date. These classic choices are wonderful options if you have a well structured body type and they are the gowns that highlight your curves the most.
Multiple layers of tulle, chiffon or even feathers are the next big think in wedding fashion. The romantic drama look can easily fit into any picture, because it is a classic eternal look. The oversized type-A turns into a princess look due to the volume added by the various layers.
Rihanna has been showing off this season some hot fur accessories. Despite justified PETA complains, I really believe fur/ true or faux is a key element of the cold season. The glamorous options include either the complete fur coats or just some fur insert. Fur is something that really stands out so be careful not to overwork it. You need to focus on at most 2 fur pieces - if they are sort of similar, otherwise you will look like a furry christmas tree :)
I really like the Juicy Couture cardigan and the pom pom hairband on ASOS, I think it’s very chic and playful. Also, the Nordstrom furry options are really amazing. If you want to make a statement pairing black fur and golden sequins is very glamorous way to do that.
Rregarding the brown Nordstrom trenchcoat, well… I think I could wear that every day :)
What about you ? Would you wear them?

I think Vanessa Hudgens is a pretty hot topic right now and everyone is practically on the lookout for her. I had received numerous requests to do some research about the accessories she wears and how she mixes them with her cool outfits.
The accessories that Vanessa Hudgens usually wears are fun and boho vintage. She plays around with different styles and materials and you cannot really say what her next choice will be. However, there are some guidelines to steal her style.
The Rings - Not overworking this accessory, Vanessa manages to find unique oversized rings that empower her outfits. Even though I found just a couple of pics with rings, I got the idea that she usually wears rings for formal events when there aren’t to many accessories, for example a red carpet event, where she wears the ring but no bracelets.
The necklaces - Vaneessa’s neckalaces usually have a sort of twist. They are special pieces, always with a story. Either long and with pendants or multiple layered chains, small or oversized, she usually wears a necklace with every outfit.
The Watches - Never saw Vanessa wearing many watches, but what popped out was this cool golden tone watch. I have to say I like how this fashion watch can add a touch of style to any outfit. Try to go for pieces that are an investment because these really add value to anything you wear. I’d choose diamond watches or something similar.
The Bracelets - I think the bracelts are one of Vanessa signature pieces. Almost in every picture of her, bracelts are a must! The key to get the look is to layer thin pieces, and when I say layer, I mean to really go for it! There can be lots of cool things that work, starting with thin chains and bangles, elastic stones bracelets. These are very easy to wear and to match with any outfit. Just pick a color on one of the bracelets and then it’s super easy to layer with metallics or other neutrals.
The Earrings - Vanessa loves long statement earrings and she often wears big chic earrings with casual daytime looks. When night drop, however, she chooses sphisticated drop crystal earrings usually when her hair is up.
Fall has gently taken oven and so have the bared leg substitutes. How else are we supposed to wear skirts and long tops, right girls? I checked out some runway styles and came accross a cool trend that emphasizes that leggings shouldn’t be boring and we should have some fun with them. Zac Posen and Miu Miu have said YES to this trend and so shops have started to get this thing moving also.
And if you’re looking for hot stuff to buy online I found some cool options at ASOS (left image -$63.83 and right image - $91.19 - Costume Dept. Optical Leggings ) and even some cheaper stuff at Forever 21 (in the center - $13.8).
Jeans trends this season are somewhat predictable: mostly skinny jeans are cool and ankle lenght is hot too. Dark colors are also the thing to wear this fall and I assume 2009-2010 is a great year to show off great ankle boots or long sexy booties. Hillary Duff tries a classic flared pair of navy/black jeans for fall 2009 while Jessica Szohr, Gossip Girl star chooses a lighter ink splash skinny pair of jeans. I love Sienna Miller’s jeans and I love how she matched the jeans with the loose studded caramel booties. Very cool for a casual look!
The webshops are quite stuffed of cool jeans so I think it’s all comes down to what to really like and what suits you well. I am eager of trying grey jeans, acid wash and tie-dye. The color palette for fall is usually darker and deeper so dark grey is a totally must-have this season.
1. J Brand - Acid wash skinny jeans, $180, net-a-porter 2. Current/Elliott’s skinny jeans $240, net-a-porter 3. BDG Ankle-Length Cigarette Jean, $64.00 UrbanOutfitters

I just love how this Australian Designer manages to mix simple with elegant. When you see these dresses they are all very sexy but very powerful, you know as the types of dresses that stun just when you walk into a room. The Collette Dinnigan Summer 2009 collection was all about eclectic tones, mostly black and white or silver gray. What makes them stand out are exactly the attached accessories, the beading with stones and sequins or the trendy asymmetric design or tulle and ruffles.
The Balenciga-like jumpsuit makes Collete Dinnigan feel very modern and cutting edge and perfect for any evening or even clubwear outfits. I love that this jumpsuit design for example highlight the waist making he whole outfit very ballanced and posh- powerful.
I’ve seen this trend popping out recently in magazines or even trendsetters. Looks like the Kanye West signature item is getting very popular. I don’t know though if I like these sunglasses, I mean they are cool and colored..but the shutters? How do you even see through them? :) (pictured bellow : NeonShutter Shades - 80s Purple ).
