Lace Up Your Look

I was cruising Facebook when I saw a post liked by a "friend" from the Fashion page.  What I saw were a few gorgeous shoes highlighting an unconventional material - lace.  They were, and are, phenomenal.  What can be so feminine than a lace shoe with 2" heels?  If you get a chance, take a look at Fashion on Facebook.  This page has a lot of posts of colorful trendy clothes paired with shoes and other accessories.

Just Delightful!

Yesterday, parts of eastern Canada and the US were hit with a snow storm.  My city usually misses the bad weather and areas around us are affected, but this time my city received quite a few centimetres of snow we haven't seen much of for about 4 years.  I don't mind the snow; I   used to get through the winter skating and tobogganning with my kids.  They're too old for that now, and so I'm so so ready for spring.

I was looking through a fashion magazine and saw a beautiful couture dress that just shouts "Spring!".  Can't wait for it!  Here are some ethereal dresses that makes me wait impatiently for that lovely season.  I just had to post two pictures from designer Georges Habeika; he has quite a few ethereal dresses in his collection.

The Two Extremes - Black and White Designs

There's a saying: "Opposites attract".  I'm not sure if that's true in every case or most cases.  I can definately say, for myself, that in terms of clothe, and regarding black and white printed clothe in particular, this saying is definately true.

Take the two most extreme colors on the color wheel, put them together on fabric attractively, and you've got a winner.  Use the same fabric to make a garment in even the simplest silhouette, and you've got a show stopper.

Beguiling Blazers for Men

It's exciting to preview what will be worn on the stylish people in the following season.  I had a look at some of the top designers men's collections for spring and summer 2013 online, and I have to say, the men's collections are more colorful  with more experimental details.  Well, it's about time!   The men's blazers, for instance, are color blocked, have contrasting colors, have graphic prints, and also match the shade of the shirt underneath for a very uniform look.  I also saw a vintage blazer on Facebook by Apostolic Clothing, and it's put together with other unique pieces that makes it a very attractive garment many men would love to own.

Can't Go Through Winter Without a Hat

Wearing hats for the winter season is an easy way to update your wardrobe, whether inside or outdoors.   The variety is wonderful, there's got to be a style for even the fussiest among us.  Top fashion designers pair knit hats and fedoras with dresses and pant ensembles. Hats aren't just for outdoors anymore.  With so many styles from knit caps to  fur hats, everyone should be wearing a hat for the winter 2012-13 season.

Old Meets New - African Print Fashion

African fabrics, traditionally draped and tied to be worn in the past, have, for some time, been transformed into many clothing silhouettes.  The bright colors, intricate patterns and geometric shapes on clothe have gained popularity throughout the world since 2010.  I must say, the combination of traditional African prints and current clothes are a lively and wonderful combination.

Some Favorite Looks

 I haven't been posting for a while, have I?  Other things have occupied my time, but now I'm glad to be posting more fashion pics this week.

I found some nice metallic look dresses, lovely combinations including leather pieces,  as well as a spectacular print outfit.  Just wanted to share.

I just have to mention that I'm very glad that Vogue Magazine used a mature model to present two pieces from a top designer's collection.  We need to see more mature models.  Till next blog!
