All- beige looks have been very popular on the runways for spring 2010. Lots of designers have found inspiration in dreamy light pastel colors. For example, Both Vivienne Westwood and YSL has been focussing on this coutryside boho look as oposed to Antonio Berardi which uses nudes to focus and structure the romantic silhouettes. But let’s leave the all-beige look aside for now and admire the ACCESSORIES.
I am happy to announce that I’ve finally selected the top designer accessories which tempt you this season. Spring-summer 2010 focuses on classy nude tones, light beige and pinks that are very appropriate  both for casual or elegant looks. Check them out and tell me which ones inspire you the most.

I have just discovered these Balmain Lace-Up Chiffon Booties and I have serious doubts about them! On one hand they seem versatile enough, because you can easily change and adapt that scarf so that it can match your outfit or reflect your style and I kinda like the whole “rock elegant” thing that leather and chiffon have together. But on the other hand, $1,075 for a sole with criss-cross straps? Kinda expensive right?

What a nicer way to start the day than with a couple of chic accessories. Summertime is the perfect season to wear fashion jewelry and to add color and glam to your outfits. There are tons of treasure looking earrings out there but try to step away from the ordianary hoops or simple silver stoned ones. Be creative this summer and try some bright fun options.

Rings can be a great way to catch the eyes fast. Our hands are constantly moving and explaining so people are generally focusing a lot on them. If you choose a statement ring be sure not to go overboard with a neon nail-polish because it can look cheap. Better go for natural pink / beige shades and this way your ring will be the main focus. Summer of 2009 ring trends are focused on large stones, studs, geometrical shapes or floral detailing.

Statement neckalaces are my favorite accessory this summer. Forget long simple pearlnecklaces because they are over. This season we are talking about short and chunky. Go for metallic shades or neon floral necklaces and you’ll definitely feel the magic of summer !

Checked out Mango today and they have some stunning maxi dresses, actually lots of Mango dresses are quite hot :) I even tried on a couple and they are really amazing. Even if you are petite, you should try wearing a maxi dress at least once, because it has that special way of making you feel: casual and sexy.

Match it with some wedges and a short jacket and a cool clutch or hobo.
You can check out the online Mango dress shop for more real-life styles.

This Bold Mini is poised to become a really cool trend. It’s powerful, but still adorably chic. I actually found this photo of Alexa Chung wearing this fresh cool outfit a few months ago and I kept thinking of something  for showing it to you.  This season we’ve got these amazingly bold colors that go perfectly with graphic tees. You can try to match a full Bright Blue Mini Skirt ( Miss Selfridge ) with a chic urban style Motorcycle Burnout Tee (Delia’s) and a smart blazer. Even if you are headed for work or drinks this outfit will prove to be a really chic and modern option.

 Alexa Chung matches some retro casual shoes  with a brown leather bag (Topshop), but you dress up this outfit if you want with a Clover Chain Necklace (Forever 21) and some sexy shoes  (Daanger - Steve Madden) .

You can start taking advantage of  the spring weather and adjust your wardrobe with fun and playful items. Age isn’t a reason not to enjoy the Hottest Items Of The Season or to step out in a shinny new pair of ballet flats. The navy bag  is already poised to become a really important part of our wardrobes and you can easily pair it with the Nautical Trend that keeps coming back every spring and summer.  Mini Skirts are really hot this season too and even if you hadn’t considered a high-waisted option yet, I think you’ll change your mind this season. I was reluctant to try this trend myself but I love this beige ruffled mini skirt from 3.1 Phillip Lim . Bold colors can also work for this outfit, however nudes and pastels can never go wrong :) 

The graphic tee and the silly cute ballet flats are the fun part of this outfit. I’ve found this website TopMax, that has some amazing Tees and dresses. This one is actually a dress but I’m sure that you can squeeze another graphic tee into your skirt to get the right high waisted look.  The Miss Marc Ballerinas are extremely eye catchy and they look so comfortable and unique. I think they really have that french style and can easily style up any outfit.

So, you shouldn’t worry too much about the accessories. and just go with something simple and casual. I loved this small bottle pendant from DAY Birger et Mikkelsen’s because it reminds me of that movie “Message In A Bottle”… quite a story wasn’t it?

You can wear a short leather jacket or something similar to finish your look. Remember, short is the new lenght for jackets this season :) and there are so many options in the shops out there, this one for example is from H&M.
