Outfit Post. Spring: Studs, Spikes, Black and White, and Warm Weather Leather.

Disclaimer: So this post is long overdue. I had a recent foot injury and well that's put me out of the loop, but I'm back and ready to blog FASHION. Also, Since my injury doesn't exactly scream style icon I had this outfit post photographed on my gorgeous antique mannequin.

Now back to Fashion....

Everywhere I turn and look whether its on the streets or on TV I see three major trends actually being rocked for spring season.

1. Black and White. (together these colors are perfection)
2. Studs
3. Warm Weather Leather

I mean look at +Marc Jacobs Intl Model's for Spring 2013 adorned from head to toe in Black and White: Did you also notice the Asymmetrical stripes?

I incorporated this Black and White trend into the Marie Dress by House of Sadia: White Charmeuse Silk with Black Stones and Dhabka Embroidery around the bodice to give it a vest like silhouette, added pleating in the center. A true classic piece in line with the current trends.

I know what your saying leather in the Spring when it's warm??? Well fear not fashionista's this leather is so thin that it will keep you shaded and cool for those warm spring days without the stickiness. For Spring 2013 you see tons of warm weather leather and studs Adorning +Michael Kors Runway.

Here is my rendition of all the Spring 2013 trends. 

Outfit: Studded Skirt: Bebe. Striped Black and White Top/Shift Dress: +Forever 21. 

Accessories: Silver and Pearl Chain Necklace: Forever 21. Nude Pumps: +Nine West. Nude HandBag: +Burberry. Chrom Cuff: Vintage Shop NYC. Watch: +Juicy Couture. Earrings: House of Harlow. Ring: 3 finger ring +BCBGMAXAZRIA 

All these Trends are perfect for the Spring and honestly are very timeless. We've all seen Madonna in the 80's with her studs and spikes. Seen the shift dresses adorning the black,white and stripes in the 60's. So stock up your closets and Happy Shopping ladies. :)  

Any day that involves Chanel is a great day!

Any day that involves Chanel is a good great day don't you agree?

Ever Since Karl Lagerfeld has taken over Chanel, high-end fashion has definitely taken a more mainstream direction! And of course when Chanel follows or excuse me sets trends, no one does ombré quite like +CHANEL. For my last outfit post I talked about the Peplum Top. But I quite sneakily left out the best part of that outfit post. This beautiful CHANEL Pre-Spring 2013 Tequila-sunrise ombré bag. This bag truly depicts a piece of art as much as it is a polished piece of design success. Actually, nobody hits that trendy-luxe note quite like Chanel. It’s a combination all aspire to and few achieve, but if you’ve had any doubts in Chanel’s eternal sense of fresh, just look to their Spring/Summer collection. Its not only the bags that steal the show but the Spring 2013 PRÊT-À-PORTER Collection is absolutely breathtaking! All about the details! Here are a few snaps of the version I bought in White and Gray and the Light Red and White version as well! 

If you are looking for a chic inexpensive alternative here are a few pieces I came across that are absolutely gorgeous and pay homage to the Ombré trend! Take a look at this great bag from +Mulberry its the Ombre Bayswater bag absolutely gorgeous and decently priced FOR Mulbuerry at $1395. Another Bag that I found to be gorgeous and is in the mid-luxury price range is this +L.A.M.B. Ombre Patent Leather Bag and it's very cost effective at $325. But if you still feel that the L.A.M.B bag is out of your range check out this beautiful +Juicy Couture Miss World Ombre Tote, very chic and classy and can be accessorized for any occasion and priced at $198 its practically FREE! Obviously all these suggestions are not chanel really nothing can compare, but these bags definitely give you an alternative to stay in trend! HAPPY BAG SHOPPING! 

How do you wear that Peplum top?

So yesterday it was 82 Degrees in the Tri-state area a perfect day for a spring inspired outfit post.

Lately I have been seeing the Peplum Top everywhere its absolutely gorgeous and creates a nice silhouette to any figure. There is a super long history behind it as well. 1947 is the year that the craze of the Peplum began and with no other than Dior behind this extravaganza. It was part of the “New Look” silhouette that took to the spotlight of a woman’s waist, it was structured, feminine and most of all elegant. Here is a snap of vintage Dior: NEW LOOK Peplum, so classy. Now check out +Chiara Ferragni in this updated version from her collaboration shoot with DIOR, she looks so fab! 

The peplum top can be worn with any bottom. I mainly have been seeing it with the Pencil Skirt which looks cute but when everyone is wearing it, it becomes a cult like situation if you know what I mean. Also when choosing a peplum top you have to be a bit careful with the type of peplum you choose. There are so many other ways to wear this beauty and if your a mother like me you need to be very strategic on how and what type of peplum top you should be rocking. I mean lets face it after you have a kid no matter how much you hit the gym things just aren't the same anymore. So if you need a bit of coverage high-waisted bottoms are a must with a peplum. To Draw Attention away from your waist try a top where the peplum starts above your stomach. Low sitting peplums do tend to emphasize on the waist and direct the entire silhouette of the mid-section. Here are few peplum tops you can choose whether you need coverage or not that I thought were super cute. Vince Camuto makes this gorgeous cap sleeve peplum top! The Lace is a great touch and is a great trend this season. Definitely can be purchased at +Nordstrom. And of course Since I LOVE BLACK I had to add one and post an outfit on black and white as well. Check out this PEPLUM from Vivienne a UK Based designer. Love the spikes! Notice the difference in the Peplum length and placement on the garment!

A Peplum top is a great way to add a feminine touch to any outfit. Here is how I styled my look. A faux Leather Peplum top from +Forever 21, with a higher peplum of course. The white straight leg trousers are from BEBE. And as you know I am an avid bag collector so I want to welcome my new Chanel Wonder from the Spring 2013 collection. Post up about this bag soon. For my accessories: A +Juicy Couture Jewel Watch, +BCBGMAXAZRIA Perforated medal and leather strap bracelet, and my Tiffany Charm Bracelet, Tiffany for my necklace as well! For my shoes I paired this outfit with gorgeous +GUESS gray suede pointy pumps! So comfy! And of course its Spring so when the chill sets in I always have my Jewel Collared House of Sadia Silk Jacket! Check out our Gorgeous model Ifey rocking the jacket with some shorts SO VERSATILE! When Pairing Black and White always focus the black in areas you need to camouflage the most!  Happy PEPLUM SHOPPING A CLASSIC YOU MUST HAVE IN YOUR CLOSET!

WORK of ART. ART DECO INSPIRED PIECES!

Ladies I'm sure you follow the runways periodically, so you definitely know that a Black and White combination is in this season! I mean you saw +Marc Jacobs Intl rendition of the black and white trend he did for +louisvuitton-sito-ufficiale as the Creative Director. It was absolutely gorgeous with all the geometric shapes playing mind games to create a distinct retro silhouette. Absolutely loved his dresses! Check out some of his and other designers creations. +LELAROSE PRODUZIONI,  +DVF, and from the runways of Spring 2013.

























Black and white is so perfect together. The colors can create different illusions for your eyes, creating the silhouette of your liking. When I saw Eva Longoria in this Gorgeous Reem Acra Dress I just fell in love with the geometric lines a true art deco piece! So I thought to myself how can I create a culturally friendly House of Sadia version including these classics. Check out the House of Sadia rendition of an  Art Deco Inspired Black and White Tuxedo Gown.

This House of Sadia piece really creates a slimming silhouette because of the placement of the 2 colors. The Art Deco inspiration is reflected in the pearl and stone beading from the collar to the waist creating the illusions of geometric lines that elongate your torso. This piece along with the other's featured in this post are really a WORK of ART! LOVE FASHION!
