#7 Trunk Shows

When I think of Trunk Shows, nothing better than one for an exhibit of Bridal garments- the wine, the cheese, the pretty ladies, the handsome men, the flowers; all displayed to make you want to be married and feel beautiful.

So I came across The Aisle and Isaac Mizrahi Trunk Show event that happened earlier this year in June. Several bloggers have posted about it too and the pictures look gorgeous!

Martha Stewart Weddings (and other top vendors) partnered with The Aisle (it's a wonderful website where you can find chic dresses and accessories from top designers at great prices!) for an Isaac Mizrahi trunk show.

 

From beautiful flowers, wine and gourmet to an extravagant presentation of other bridal and wedding assortments- this trunk show was a complete experience for any bride to be!

I couldn't find a video on this show but there are plenty of other bridal trunk show videos that you can check out. I'm posting one here for you to see what it looks like in there!

Trunk shows are a pretty awesome way to create an experience for your potential buyers and customers and a lot of designers are taking it seriously!

 So till I decide to have my own show someday in partnership with a designer, I'm going to continue blogging about all the other ones!

Until then,

Stay Stylish!

#6 Fashion Video from the Web!

So I came across this really cool video on how to wear Hats! I particularly love this accessory because it adds so much glamor and drama to an ensemble! Prince Harry and Kate Middleton's Royal wedding was full of well dressed people in their extraordinary hats! However, my blog is really not for those people who attend Royal Weddings! It's for us college kids, wanting to look dapper and fashionable in whatever we can find!

Keeping that trend in mind I posted this video (and also because i think the speaker/owner is so cute!)

She talks about how different styles of hats can be teamed with a look or an outfit. In her own fun way she tries on the hats and modifies them to look different. What hat can be worn when and where are usually questions that bother us and possibly just let the hats be in our closet! It's time to bring them out of there as soon as Spring sets in again and wear them with confidence!

Just after I viewed this video, I saw another recent one of celebrities wearing Hats! Definitely an inspiration for fashionistas!

                                
                              So go buy your Hat and give your personality a little makeover!

                                                                      Until then,

#5 What's your Color for Fall 2012??

Somehow I get this feeling of all things beautiful when I think about Fall 2012. The styles, silhouettes, the colors and the whole mood is so feminine. It makes the woman look so angelic, sexy and yet, the innocence of her feminine character is what stands out the most. Whether it's straight fitted knee length dresses, ruffles, whites, blues, and all those pastel hues with the minimal accessorizing makes this Fall 2012 woman so desirable.

I dedicate this post to one of my favorite designer Late Alexander McQueen. Usually known for his eclectic, mesmerizing fashion - prints, colors, larger than life drama!

 His latest collection was rather subtle yet dynamic with the accentuated necklines, and shoulders. But what I liked the most were the colors. One can see a whole lot of pastels- baby pink, blues and the bold Black.
The one color I see becoming a huge trend next season is the "Gold". Pretty shades of golden, bran, yellow, mustard and all those shades from the Golden family highlighting the trims or the otherwise cream, off-white, light gold attire.

This fully gold detailed silhouette is a pleasure to the eyes. The metallic armor looking suit adds so much glamor to a woman's body! Source: Style.com

Doesn't always have to be an entire garment. For those who don't think they can carry off the golden dress can always opt for it as a trimming or garment detailing. Source: Style.com

McQueen's label retains it's dynamism and drama with the fine details on the silhouette and play of colors. 

As we see "Bling" is the thing for next season. It's all about glamor and feminity. What makes a woman's glam quotient different from a man?

Gold it is- the color for Fall 2012. Sequins, detailed embroidery, trims, accessories- anything under the Golden sun will be our pick for the coming season. 

Until then,

#4 Street Style in the Big Apple

The streets of New York are buzzing with Fashionistas! The melting pot of so many cultures and people from all over the world, New York reflects not just high fashion but also street fashion.

Summer is over now- no time for just those funky tank tops and shorts anymore! Fall is here and I can assure you, from the chills I've been getting down my spine, it's an alarm for a cold winter!!! So if you thought you'd have to pack your summer clothes into the closet- think again! I'v been noticing great styling with these summer clothes for the Fall too. Printed Skirts, Neon tank tops, Sneakers all clubbed with stocking, tights, leather jackets and pretty, colorful stoles as the major accessory for fall!

This adorable couple looked perfect for Fall. The girl dresses in a pretty printed skirt, bright tank top, a leather jacket and an off-white scarf to tone it down looked charming with her well-dressed guy holding the umbrella and sporting the fall Hat in his boot-cut hip-hugging jeans. Don't miss their over-sized glasses!

She seemed simple yet bright in the dull weather with her smile. It's not just about what you wear, it's about comfort. She looked absolutely cute in that overlap denim skirt and ballerina shoes! The coffee cup adds to her outfit.

So from the trends that we're predicting for Fall 2011, we see that the oversized sweater, trench coats and the sporty look is already visible amongst the New Yorkers.

She was my favorite! Those sneakers. golden brown hair streaks, the loose beret and the casual fall jacket reminded me of the sporty themes in a lot of fashion shows this year! Smoking in style, cool attitude and great confidence!

I wanted to steal his sweater. It was the perfect over-sized sweater. That big, orange tote bag made his outfit glamorous and funky. Love the messy hair and again- coffee cups say its getting cool!

   

Warm colors, fur, cardigans, and boots are back this season! So whether you're off to work or attending school, get that collection of your outerwear out of the closet and team them up with jumpsuits, leggings, some great jewelery or over-sized glasses!

Pretty perfect for a corporate attire, she being an assistant buyer for a brand, looked fabulos in this little black jumpsuit,t eamed with the tan leather belt with gold buckle, gold watch and some gold earrings to complete the look!

Fur is back and how! Again, big tote bags, warm colors, funky glasses and knee length boots for Fall!

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

So it's time to go shopping if you already haven't or get your thinking cap on and mix and match the clothes in your wardrobe for Fall! :D Dresses, tights, hats, boots and that cup of coffee will keep you warm and trendy!

Until then,

Stay Stylish!
