trend report: clean lines

simplicity is in for spring this year and there should be no shortage of neutral and minimal, yet feminine clothing in stores now.

with fashion week beginning, there are lots of fun and chic trends for spring to report on. one of my favorite figure flattering trends that is very wearable and beautiful is draping.

trend report: bright coats for winter

if we are going to have another dreary winter on our hands i would much rather face it wearing a bright and cheery coat.

trend report: peep toe booties

a perfect solution for those of you who can't wait to start wearing boots but don't think the weather quite calls for them yet. peep toe booties mix the best of both worlds, chic and sexy boots with open toed heels reminiscent of summer.

trend report: 50s mediterranean chic

while i'm sad that summer is coming to a close and it's almost september, there are still a few more weekends to be spent outside lying around the beach and relaxing. the gorgeous scenery in the talent mr ripley and the chic, yet easy style of the characters in the film make me want to end summer on a high fashion note with an outfit inspired by the film's sumptuous wardrobe.

trend report: working girl

one thing i love to write about is workwear, particulary because i work in a business environment. i can actually use the trends i see and interpret them in my own way and although work wear is not really a trend, it is always changing and is a reflection of the different styles that come in and out of our lives (and department stores) every season.
