This is 'trendsetters'

Crazy Hats - Royal Ascot

As you all probably know by now, Royal Ascot Enclosure is based on serious dress code and women are obliged to wear super-sized hats and not show any shoulders. Men have fun rules too and the combination resulting is almost insane.

The Guardian offers a huge photo gallery with outfits inspired from “Pan’s Labyrinth” movie. The bizarre collection of looks inspired from nature or a forgotten childhood takes us into a faraway universe, where modern socialites play the parts divinely.  Feathers and nests, flowers and leaves and sweets were the major inspirations for the unique accessories.

Whitney Port - Trend Setter Style

Whitney Port - New Girl, New Style, New York

You probably all know who Whitney Port is but do you like her style ? Even though she was the non-drama girl in The Hills I kinda loved when she appeared beacuse she had these incredibly chic outfits. She paired vintage with retro-casual and with sexy colorful items.

Bag:  Vintage Look Leather Studded Holdall - ASOS  Headband: Cara Accessories Leopard Print Zip - Nordstrom
Shorts : Evonne Distressed Denim Short Forever 21 Flats : Marc by Marc Jacobs
T-Shirt : L.A. Represent Tee Forever 21 Sunglasses : Retro Plastic Aviator Sunglasses Forever 21

Yeah, it’s definitely a great change from the first season of  The Hills to what her style is now in The City, but this is a good thing. Fashion is constantly changing and is giving us new improved looks. Probably TeenVogue. People’s Revolution and now DVF changed her perspective on fashion and now she is showing us some great outfits.

 

 She combines these chic ultra feminine dresses with casual accessories and a relaxed attitude. She can wear flip-flops as easily as some stunning heels and still look gorgeous. I like that she focuses on a couple of high end items and then combines them with budget -friendly options or vintage styles. Her spring collection clothing line “Whitney Eve” has some really chic romantic looks that describe the old-school fashionista. Sweet flowy dresses, graphic shorts, romantic floral patterns. They’re just perfect for beach, sun and fun :)

Kate Moss Stunning Outfit at TopShop Opening

If you were like me you were just dying for this event to happen. Even though fans were kicking and screaming and lines of people went around and around the corner, you shouldn’t have missed this. Lovely Kate Moss appeared in a flowing sheer green maxi dress (that was absolutely smashing BTW) and just put on a simple motorcycle leather jacket. So cool!

The black leggings were supporting the jacket as black always goes with black. :) I don’t know if it would be appropriate to wear this kind of leather jacket on a formal attire but if you want to blow everyone’s minds, you can sure try. In fact, I never tried this before either but now I have the courage to do it. The next wedding I go to will be my scene!

BTW: How do you find the prices for the US Collection ? I’ve heard there are some differences…

Trendsetters Beware, there’s a new Katie in Town!

A few weeks ago, while in search of inspiration, trends and meaningful examples to share, I ran into this surprising blog. It seemed to have a common approach to post photos of outfits worn on different days, with some links towards the brand websites.

However, while scrolling down something weird just happened to me. Curiosity stroke me and made me discover more and to wait for a new outfit every day. It happens that this “Katie” is not as the usual Katies out there, it actually happens that she is truly a fashionista! I don’t really know if this is a personal blog or something more, but I guaranty that this website will amaze you : What Katie Wore.

Katie is this sweet young girl who “looks good in anything” (this is from one of the posts but I have to admit it’s rather true ! ). No matter how eccentric  her clothes may look, she manages to pull off these incredibly colorful and powerful outfits. As I said in some articles before, we can learn a lot just by watching people with great style. It is actually quite instructive to see how Katie wears neon colored thighs, oversized jewelry or short spring jackets.

There are also tons of other fantastic examples of how to combine fashion forward pricey pieces (Chanel, United Nude, Escada or Bulgari) with urban cheap options (Topshop, Accessorize, Urban or H&M). I even discovered brands I didn’t even know existed so I’m really thankful for that :)

Another things that I love are the unique accessories. Some of them are modern plastic-made, others are vintage (for example she wears this cool unique necklace made from different old watches). Oh, and I totally became a fan of the checkered thighs ! Apparently Katie has dozens of them as well as many casual chic vests or ankle booties.

You can also get an idea of how to wear the shirt dress trend or the harem pants. I love this blog, you can check it out clicking the link above or on my blogroll. I think it’s worth reading from time to time and just getting inspired.
