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 ).
Loading ...In my opinion, Prom Night should be something to remember forever :) and I know you, girls try so hard to get everything perfect before the big night. There are lots of cool styles to try this year and as we have discovered in our poll this week, you like all kinds of dresses! So, here it is : a showcase of the hottest dresses including celeb looks for less.
You have to try on at least one princess dress in order to understand what it feels like. Even though they are maxi dresses and have a lot of volume they are still smashing because they stand for universal beauty.
If you think there’s going to be a lot of dancing a short dress is the perfect option. A short dress might be just the ticket to show off some sexy legs and some smashing shoes. Even if you like a neons or pastels, you can get inspired from Vanessa Hudgens or Ashley Tisdale who rock some amazing short styles at a red carpet event and you can actually find heaps of amazing similar Prom gowns to get the look at affordable prices.
These are probably the most common red-carpet style ever. They are chic and extremely figure-friendly and you get get extra points if you choose a one-shoulder dress or a cut-out back style. These dresses are usually very tight and wrapped around your body so you’d better work out before the event :) or choose a tough fabric that elongates your body and makes you slimmer.
As spring has fully taken its right on the thermometer, we should start discovering the new pieces of this season. It’s warmer now and it’s easy to accessorize these fabulous styles. These dresses are poised to become a huge part of any spring wardrobe and you will that they are also very much figure-friendly.
The first item that probably caught your eye by now is the shirt dress. Even if you like the casual shirt dress (Pacsun) or you choose a more glamorous cocktail option, the shirt dress can be a terrific option. I personally love the plaid one because it has a super casual style and can be worn with both flats and heels. You can pair it with a short, cropped jacket as seen on tons of fashionphilles. The cool nude leather jacket (Doma) is a spot-on style this spring and you could accessorize it with metallics.
Another hot key piece is the floral dress. There are heaps of gorgeous options out there and you can also play with the size too as both the mini and the maxi are stunning hot. I saw lots of florals in the shops and I couldn’t help noticing that some of them have really crowded prints. I don’t recommend you wearing a bouquet of flowers on your dress, but choosing something romantic and versatile. For example an artistic floral pattern might be just the ticket for a casual office look.
The material of the dress is also important as this is the thing that chooses the time of the day that you should wear it. Go for something opaque during the day, like cotton and try to keep the sheer options for later at dawn :) If your dress is short and soft transparent and you want to wear it during the day you can wear it with leggings or opaque thighs.
The maxi dress is easier beacause it practically covers you all up. I’ve seen it worn with Converse sneakers and cropped jeans jackets and they lookes relly cool. You can also match them with flips flops or wedges for a summer look, but we’ll get into that in a future article.
The floral print dress can be paired with black statement heels (Balmain - in the pic) and cropped jacket (H&M). The edgy accessories give this outfit a note-worthy look (sunglasses - Topshop, clutch - Miu Miu, necklace - Ann Demeulemeester).
This top / dress is poised to because a really big thing as it’s the most versatile of all of them. You can imagine wearing as a dress if it’s long enough or with shorts, jeans, or leggings. Some pieces of this outfit are already on the March Hotlist and you already know all about the ripped denim trend.
There are tons of hot options in the shops, I especially love the tunics that have this houglass shape and are casual and sexy. The embroidery can be cool on tunics and it gives them a bohemian chic look (Check out some Vanessa Hudgens styles). If you can’t afford a glamorous version like this one (Calypso Juna smock top - Net-A-Porter) you can choose a simple tunic and then style it up with a skinny belt or some long necklaces or oversized earrings (these are Wetseal).
And the winners are :
You are probably wondering by now whether your fingertips have the right color. There are lots of options out there and I guess you have probably seen amazing pastels and brights that are all waiting to complete your spring look. You should get rid of the stiff fall tones and pick something smashing.
3.1 Phillip Lim surprises us with gold and copper tones, while Carolina Herrera and Hermes bring on the white-silver polish. A thing I noticed while browsing through the pictures on Style.com, was that a lot of designers chose pink-nude translucent nailpolish for this summer season and also for Cruise 2009.

I think we all turn to stars when we want a little inspiration for outfits even though we don’t always afford all the glamorous styles we can easily shop a look for less and get to be walking in their shoes. My friends are always telling me they just loooove Rihanna’s style or Vanessa Hudgens’ look and they are dying to see new pictures with them.
I’ve picked these 3 gorgeous ladies because, in my opinion they are representing the real-life styles that can easily upgrade your spring closet as key-pieces of this season. We all know by now that Rihanna is the ultimate style-princess, but I really love Ashley Tisdale’s outfit and Jessica Stroup’s sweet pastel look.
Rihanna rocks the casual maxi dress worn with a tiny jeans jacket and an oversized neckalace. The dress has an amzing color, kind of “safari chic” and you can easily wear it with sparkly gladiators or other flats.
Ashley Tisdale has this colorful and eye-catchy dress, the colors are so bright and alive. Both her and Jessica Stroup choose to wear sexy heels and sexy minis. The cropped blazer is a terrific option and you can be in shape for every lunch meeting whereas the sexy sheer shirt with a small bow can drift your outfit towards the evening in case you want to grab a drink after work.
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) .
Loading ...I found this blog that actually makes and sells these fun Eco-booties. They’re made from recycled materials which are not also friendly with the environment but also quite chic and stylish.
They’re even cheap too , you can have them for about $45 and you can choose from a large variety of patterns all full of whimsy and charm.The idea was started by an industrial design student.
I actually like them, they’re fun and light and impermeable and they add something extra to any outfit, a sort of real-life style .
More booties available on the designer’s website : Botas Dacca.
