In the streets #3

Peplum Craze

Walking along the streets of New York, I can see that New Yorkers are ready for Spring. Colors are getting brighter and the peplum is back! This trend has been around for awhile, but lately I have seen it a lot for Spring 2013. Above are peplum from Alice and Olivia Spring 2013 RTW. http://www.style.com/fashionshows/review/S2013RTW-ALICEOLIVIA/

Here are a some I found!

The peplum is a popular style to dress up for a night out

Dressed down for a daytime look

Work Appropriate

This peplum is not so obvious. The peplum is seen a lot in the fall and winter in jackets and blazers.

How much longer do you think we will see the peplum for? 

Sheer Brilliance #2

A trend seen on Spring 2013 runways was called a "veil look". This transparency look creates a lightness, movement, and a very feminine, sexy feel. Silk, chiffon, organza and mousseline are the fabrics used to create this affect. Many of the designers used this trend in unexpected ways. Instead of having the transparency on the top as you see a lot now, they have used it on the bottom half in a pant or skirt. The little peak of skin is an amazing look and makes a piece look light as a feather.

Lauren Conrad's blog is one of my all time favorites. Not only does she talk about fashion, but she gives beauty tips and creative DIY projects. I have learned a lot of helpful tips from Lauren Conrad and I love her style so I constantly check her blog for ideas.

Bravo is my favorite channel on tv. Courtney Kerr was on a show called "Most Eligable Dallas". She always had on really great outfits. I went to her website to find out she had a fashion blog! I love how she pairs everything together and she even tells you where she bought the items! If she is wearing something that is no longer in stores she gives you other similar suggestions. Her style is very fun, young and flirty and I love getting ideas from her.

Rebecca Minkoff is my favorite designer. I am constantly on her style blog from her website. She shows you how you can wear some of her clothes, bags and jewelry. I mainly enjoy just looking at her latest designs. Rebecca Minkoff doesn't personally write the blog but people who work in the company do. The latest blog post I enjoyed was called "How to Wear Winter White." She takes one of her white bags and pairs it with a leather jacket so the "no white after labor day rule" no longer applies.

Atlantic Pacific is my favorite! Blair's style is exactly like mine (but better). Every outfit she posts I am in love with. She writes after every post what she is wearing and where to get it. 

"Blair is a lover of all things colorful , chic, preppy and printed"

If I could describe my style in a sentence that would be it! I love blogs that are mostly pictures. I enjoy looking at clothes and seeing how people pair things together.
