SPRING/SUMMER DRESSES
Fendi
How many of you have faced this frustrating situation when you look for something which is very vague in your mental image? While going through hundreds of pieces, you realize that nothing hits you. In order to avoid such a waste of time and efforts, you better check what is on trend, before you set off to your fashionable journey. Have a look at the collection of the most fabulous and trendiest dresses of Spring/Summer 2014.
Elie Saab
This white gown in satin with incredible embellishment will take your breath away, I am sure. Just imagine how much it can impress a man who spots it on you. Rich floral design along with the elegant belt create a superior look. It makes me stare at the masterpiece again and again.
Valentin Yudashkin
This marvelous frock in blue atlas looks like an outfit of a queen. Very impressive design as well as the skimmmimg silhoeutte make me wipe off my mouth in strong excitement.
Rebecca Minkoff
Rebecca Minkoff designed a piece , It is so light and inspiring that I couldn’t leave it out. Also, the color played for it – delicate pistachio, one of the Spring/Summer 2014 trends, seems to be a shade of innocence and love.
Dolce & Gabbana
You might question my sight-seeing or color perception, but this is not a mistake. If you take a closer look, you will notice that the dress is actually made out of white fabric. It is the myriad of coin tiles in gold that cover the material, creating an illusion of goldness. I like the design a lot – very unique and catchy. It is the two maestros after all, they always have surprises.
GUCCI FALL 2014: SOPHISTICATED & LACONIC
Gucci opted for a very moderate collection this time. However, it doesn’t mean that the outfits are somewhat boring or outdated. What Gucci decided to stress today has nothing to do with skimming silhouettes or outrageous slits and decollates. Quite the contrary, the line appeared to be incredibly enchanting and sweet. Of course, such an impression is not just a merit of the designer. The models also dedicated a lot of effort to making this day special. I adore all of the images of Gucci Fall/Winter 2014/2015 line and have no doubt that so will you.
The Italian label proved once again that a truly beautiful lady doesn’t have to wear thousands of accessories. The collection is very laconic yet super stylish and cool. I adore the colors featured here: fresh mint, pearl blue, rust brown, dark pistachio, powder pink, terra cotta, olive, violet, lemon yellow as well as burgundy, white and classic black. I believe, Gucci decided to emphasize the beauty of the shades instead of going for extra details and rich embellishment.
DOLCE & GABBANA FALL 2014: LUXURIOUS & ENCHANTING
You will be totally overwhelmed by the colorful prints that are featured in every single outfit. Moreover, it is not just about abstract pattrens that have no meaning. You will spot key-shaped ornamnets, floral motifs, and animal images.
The textures also vary a lot in the brand’s Fall 2014 collection. Fur, atlas, chiffon, jacquard, tweed and satin are all tapped for the newest line. Be it a thick coat in yummy purple ot a magnificent airy gown in lust red, all the outfits presented by Dolce & Gabbana are full of high fashion and great style. You can barely find any other label that would release such adorable designs of a very high quality. The talented duo proves it one more time that if you want a super successful business you need a reliable ally.
I love the fur trim and hood . Its defiantly a piece that will turn heads.

Alice + Olivia Lookbook for Winter
It’s not a secret that every season designers create their masterpieces based on a number of trends we will later stick to when choosing clothing and accessories. FUR and Knee High boots have taken over this Season. Heres just some of my favorites from Alica + Olivia…
Despite the collection’s bold look, it is very feminine and romantic. There are a lot of dresses, skirts and amazing pants, which highlight the feminine curves. There are also many outerwear pieces, such as jackets, coats and the mentioned above fur coats. Its alway better to be BOLD than boring!
STAY TUNED WITH FALL 2013 COLOR TRENDS
Six Hottest Color Trends of Fall 2013 Season
Whenever I have to make that shift from sunny and warm joy to nasty and rainy routine, I find myself stuck deeply in fall depression. The only thing capable of saving my world is a couple of hours spent at the shopping mall. There is nothing else in the universe that has as much power to heal my bleeding soul as the process of enriching my closet does. But there are times, when huge bags of my brand new clothing pieces do not bring any satisfaction at all. If you are hoping for fruitful shopping with nothing to regret about, then you better check the color tendencies that will be in vogue this fall.
Navy replaces all the summer shades of our beloved blue, offering a huge variety of chances to play with it. Navy blue is super easy to match your clothing pieces with. Be it a coat, pants or a dress, there is always an opportunity to offset the coolness ans darkness of this color by brighter hues. Celine, Chloe, Dries Van Noten, Hermes, Nina Ricci, Calvin Klein and Paul & Joe all went for this elegant and noble color and I doubt they have ever cried over their choice.Delicate ecru, as some kind of a contrast to navy, shouldn’t be missed out from your sight line either. As if reminding us about the fluffy snowflakes and morning frost on the window glass (I still hate to imagine it, no matter how poetic it sounds), gorgeous skirts, frocks and coats float on the runway. Seen in the collections of Celine, Isabel Marant, Valentino, Nina Ricci, Elie Saab and Stella McCartney, this grayish-white color is incredibly hard to resist.
Camouflage is also going to be super hot this fall. Michael Kors, Alexander Wang, Prabal Gurung and Christopher Kane used this trendy print as a highlight of their Fall/Winter 2013-14 runway collections. A baggy dress in khaki, red, blue and sand or a fur coat with a belt on the waistline: there are literally no limits.
Oxblood red is still with us! Being the brightest color trend of all the presented ones, it definitely deserves your attention. The best way to stay in good mood, despite the dropping temperatures and crazy wind, is to be on the colorful side. Forget your gloomy black trench coats and jackets – fashion is not about being mousy at all. Plus, when it is brands like Burberry Prorsum, Erdem, Marc Jacobs, L’Wren Scott, Marious Shwab and Christopher Kane, which all opted for this color, there shouldn’t be any room for questioning.
Here is quite an unusual color for the season of Fall/Winter – powder pink. “How on earth can one sport a coat of such a delicate and light shade, when it is all muddy and puddly outside?” – you might wonder. Well, I have to tell you, much more significant sacrifices have been made for the sake of fashion. Besides, Carven, Chanel, Mulberry, Christian Dior and Miu Miu, designing their Fall 2013 collection pieces, obviously counted on the service of the dry-cleaner.Unlike all the other summer trends, color-blocking has no intention to leave us behind. DKNY, Rag & Bone, 3.1 Phillip Lim, Louise Goldin, Victoria Beckham and Proenza Schouler continued with the hot tendency of Spring/Summer 2013. Presented in various color combinations, this trend adds a refreshing hue to each of the outfits.
Color is a very important detail to count, when it is your wardrobe that you are working on. Now that you are introduced to the main color tendencies of Fall/Winter 2013-14 season, I see no reason for you to postpone the glorious moment of your shopping. Keep in mind all the tips and good luck!
How to ROCK it!
1. Checker
</aHow to Rock it
To achieve the full look, rock a checkered dress, or add just a dash of chic with a checkered top or heels.And if you want a more BOLD look I encourage you to add a splash of color weather it’s yours shoes or accessories . By adding color it gives you a more bolder statement in what you have on!
2. Stripes
As seen at: Oscar de la Renta, Michael Kors, Tommy Hilfiger, Philosophy di Alberta Ferretti, Dolce & Gabbana.
Whether sliced vertically or horizontally, stripes, some nautically inspired, will be sure to set off your wardrobe with panache. It’s all about bold combinations .Note: horizontal stripes can make you look wide, while vertical stripes make you appear long and lean. Your choice!
3. Ruffles
As seen at: Gucci, Balenciaga, Givenchy.
Ruffles truly make a statement this year with scale–the bigger the better. Frills work best on cute cocktails or skirts, so grab a few if you want to fall in line.
4. Leather
As seen at: Derek Lam, Proenza Schouler, Alexander Wang, Jason Wu, Sally LaPointe.
Leather in the summer? Why yes. Yes, indeed. The sturdy fabric has carried over from fall to enter into our spring lexicon, thanks to lighter weights, brighter colors, and skin baring cut outs. To wear this well, go for perforated or sliced leather looks, or strapless tops that allow for a bold look
5. Bold Floral
As seen at: Brood, Paul & Joe, Moschino, Preen, Peter Som, Suno.
Yes, flowers in spring skews obvious, though this season, step it up a notch. Mix and match like Beyoncé or go full full on floral like Ashley Madekwe, slipping on a top and matching bottom (I’m a fan!).
6. Gladiator Heels
As seen at: Tom Ford, Giuseppe Zanotti, Versace, Altuzarra.
Most versions lace up to your ankles–some go up to your thigh. Rock ‘em with a short hem to truly let them shine

How to wear neon shoes????
Match your shoes to your outfit. It is easy. Yellow comes to yellow, pink to pink, etc. It looks very bright, so add a couple of neutral accessories to make sure you don’t overdo with neon.
Color block your outfit. You can choose other vibrant hues to mix with your neon shoes or paler and less expressive colors to keep the balance. All is up to your taste, but we advise you to try the second variant as it is safer and already looks daring enough.
Pair neon with neutrals. Neon shoes look fantastic with black, white and nude garments by adding necessary brightness to the attire.
