Spring '09 - Pretty in Peach

For those of you who long to be on-trend but just can't stomach the thought of rocking up to the office wearing bright pink lipstick or neon polish, fear not: I have something for you -- peach.

Soft, pretty peach is having quite a moment. More exciting than neutrals, but less in-yo'-face than this season's brights, peach makeup has been popping up everywhere that matters.

wardrobe_remix Top Pic(k)s: Trendy Yellow

Email thisPosted Feb 16th 2008 at 5:53PM by Mallory Whitfield

wardrobe_remix is a Flickr community dedicated to exploring all the amazing everyday looks that people put together to express themselves. Real people, just like you and me. Inspired by the original (official!) weekly wardrobe_remix recap that the group's founder Tricia Royal does on her own blog, bits and bobbins, here are a few of my personal favorite recent additions to the group.

Yesterday Kyle pointed out how yellow is popping up all over the place these days. I couldn't help but think the same thing as I browsed through some of the most recent additions to the wardrobe_remix community. Yellow was appearing absolutely everywhere... in tights and accessories, in shoes and boots, and as big pops of color in dresses and jackets. I love how these bright, sunny splashes of color remind me that warm spring days really are just around the corner.

For ideas on how to integrate one of the season's hottest trends into your own wardrobe, check out the unique styles of regular fashion fans just like you and join in the action at wardrobe_remix.

Five Must-Have Looks for Spring

Email thisPosted Mar 18th 2007 at 3:25PM by Sarah J. Gim

Filed under: Clothing, Dresses

I am wild about Spring, girls. Wild, I tell you. For some reason, while other seasons have had one, two, maybe three very prominent trends, this Spring 2007 is all about...everything. It's as if every trend from the last few years has converged into right now. Patent leather. Metallics. Wide belts. Shorts. Big and bold. Soft and sweet. You name it, it's probably fashionable for spring. All except, thankfully, the skinny jean.

Nautical or Nice - They had to do something so we could wear anchors around our necks, right? Nautical is all about brunching at the Yacht Club in dark navy, crisp white, bright red, and gold accessories. Strangely, I have always associated the nautical look with Spring and Summer, regardless of trendiness.

Five Must-Haves for Spring: Heavy Metal

Email thisPosted Mar 8th 2007 at 7:26PM by Sarah J. Gim

Filed under: Handbags, Accessories, Clothing, Shoes

I know I'm supposed to list five trends in keeping with my theme this week of Spring trends, but this one deserves an entire post unto itself: metallic. Apparently, designers have gone the way of Midas and everything they touch turns to gold. Or silver. Or bronze. Shiny shiny is the look of the season, and we're looking at how you can add it to your wardrobe in little -- or big -- ways (but we can't guarantee that it won't break the bank).

Handbags - My favorite place to see metallic this spring is the handbag, and we're not just talking about the hardware and adornments. Kooba's Mini Small Satchel comes in both silver (my choice) and bronze. $295 at Neiman Marcus.

Five Must-Have Things for Spring, Part 1

Email thisPosted Mar 5th 2007 at 8:01PM by Sarah J. Gim

Filed under: Clothing, Dresses

You can't shop or surf the Internet these days without being reminded that yes, you should totally be shopping for Spring things, even though it might still feel like the Arctic. Get over it. You could use that excuse when it was February, but we've stepped into March, dolls. Spring officially starts this month and you can't be caught in the sunshine in a pair of cashmere leggings!

Look out for Styledash's Spring Essentials this week, because we may not be the Devil in Prada, but we definitely know what the hell we're talking about! Today, let's talk about the Five Must-Have Clothing Things for Spring.

Spring Trendwatch: Romance, via a blouse

Email thisPosted Feb 22nd 2007 at 8:38PM by Sarah J. Gim

Filed under: Clothing

It's cold, gray, and raining, y'all, and while that certainly isn't unusual for February, I live in southern California. Isn't it supposed to be something like 70 degrees here year round? And even if it weren't, I swear -- I am almost certain of it -- that several weeks ago, the groundhog predicted Spring's sooner arrival!

Why all the whining? Well, I'm just anxious to break out my Spring clothes because the trends that are on deck for the coming season are totally wearable. No outrageous proportions, no crazy color combinations (except of course, yellow, which will just never look right on me). My favorite thing of all is the trend toward "feminine," which includes romantic blouses with lots of lace, ruffles, and delicate detailing -- whether that's a pintucked blouse with flowing sleeves like the one shown by Nanette Lepore or a feminine take on the tuxedo shirt with lots of ruffles.

Look out in the next few days as we go through more of Spring's coming trends!

It's a mod, mod world

As we look forward to warmer weather and longer days, we can also look forward to the new trends for spring. Of all the hot looks this year, I have to say that my favorite is the Mod look. Blame it on Sienna Miller's new film Factory Girl or the simple adage that what goes around comes around, but this season designers are mad for mod.

Obviously, dressing head (teased hair with wide headband) to toe (leather go-go boots) in mod style will make you look more like an extra from the set of the Man from U.N.C.L.E. and less like an up-to-date lady. The key to working the mod look is to incorporate a few pieces into your existing wardrobe.

One of the easiest ways to look like one of Andy's muses is to invest in a pair of large, dark sunglasses with a clean simple shape. Notice that this is not the same thing as Nicole Richie's face obscuring welding goggles -- mod sunglasses are sleek and urbane. Issac Mizrahi for Target's Big Rectangle glasses are exactly what you are looking for.

Of course the mod dress is also a big trend this spring. If you aren't into the idea of wearing a super-short mini dress, by all means, look for a shift dress with a more modest hem. But if you are willing to take the plunge, Diane von Furstenberg's Payne dress will give you the look you want.

For just a splash of 60s style, Lucite jewelry is also quite popular this season. If you aren't in the market for real Lucite, Forever21 sells great jewelry that looks almost exactly like the real thing.

Spring will be yellow fever

Email thisPosted Jan 4th 2007 at 2:49PM by Sarah J. Gim

Filed under: Accessories, Clothing, Shoes, Dresses

If Deidre's "Hot or not?" question about yellow eyeshadow wasn't enough of a hint, then here's something a little more blatant. Yellow is the hot color for spring, whether it's in makeup palettes or apparel, you best get ready for a little bit of yellow fever.

I can tell you right now that the yellow color trend makes me cringe a little because yellow is just about the worst color for me to wear. However, there will be ways to incorporate yellow into a wardrobe without having to look like a walking banana. Yellow, like white, comes in many shades - everything from what may look like an off-white, to bright, screaming neon yellow school bus. For clothes, I am probably going to go with pieces that keep yellow away from my face, like pants and skirts. Of course, I love little dresses for spring, and while the Chain Dress (pictured) is a little too sunny for me, I know that there will be plenty of dresses with prints that only modestly highlight yellow. Of course, I have absolutely nothing against a great pair of yellow wedge heeled sandals!

Want longer legs? Get nude pumps

Email thisPosted Oct 14th 2006 at 1:38PM by Anne Metz

Filed under: Accessories, Clothing, Shoes

After disappearing for about a decade, the nude pump seems to have returned. The somewhat controversial heel was seen on the Yves Saint Laurent runway for the spring 2007 collection. For many people, nude pumps have been the exclusive domain of the bridge-playing, old biddie set, but the newer versions have a much younger, hipper feel. With stacked heels and rounded toes, these shoes are clearly marketed toward a younger, more fashionable crowd. I don't know about the rest of you people, but I'm really looking forward to buying a pair of nude pumps when they hit the stores in a couple of months. It's a well-known fact that nothing -- not even a great pair of Manolos -- makes your legs look longer than a pair of nude pumps.
