No, not naked. I’m talking about the nude color palette that has been popping up everywhere, especially on the runways. I absolutely love this trend. Nude colors like beiges and light pinks look good on just about everyone and go with everything in your wardrobe! Nude shoes instantly give you a little boost and make your legs look longer, [...]
Who else but Dolce & Gabbana? For Autumn (Fall) / Winter 2010 the duo have brought lingerie as outerwear to the office. Pairing tailored jackets with nothing but hot pants, or sometimes completely sheer skirts, has created a situation in which the boudoir and office collide, daringly, into a classic yet completely [...]
In addition to all the floral, lace, wedges, denim, nude tones and all-weather leather this season (I could keep going…), technicolored streaks are one of the many statement-making trends you can expect for Spring/Summer 2010.
Back in September, Zac Posen and Proenza Schouler were among the several designers whose models sported neon extensions down the runway. [...]
While looking at gorgeous editorials from all over the place this week, I couldn’t help but notice a theme with the models. No, not their overall tallness, skinniness, or drop-dead beauty; it’s all about their hair. Long, silky, flowing locks bursting with hot pink, neon yellow, or dark green tips. At first it doesn’t sound [...]
This morning StyleHop was invited to attend the Project Runway season finale taping. If you haven’t been following our tweets, you may be surprised to hear that I don’t know who the final 3 designers are. After walking to the end of the runway alongside Nina Garcia, Michael Kors and guest host Faith Hill for [...]
A new year brings New Year’s resolutions, loads of champagne and, of course, new fashion trends. It may be totally freezing outside now and hard to imagine springtime in the future, but just think back to September for a moment. Remember those amazing looks we saw come down the runways at the various Fashion Weeks worldwide? [...]
Over the knee boots appeared all over the Fall and Winter runways and have made their way into stores and maybe some of your closets. These boots are fun and statement-making but can easily go from trendy to trashy. They can also be difficult to work into your everyday look. But where’s the fun in [...]
Don’t let your style get lost underneath layers and coats this winter. Hair is a fabulous way to show off your inner style without changing your clothes. Check out these cool winter 2009-2010 hair trends:
Braids
The Sienna Miller milkmaid braids of 2009 have given way to bolder, more complete braids on the Spring 2010 runways. The [...]
Leggings have paved their way as a wardrobe staple, and last fall we saw the emergence of cutout fashion. In addition to the resurgence of ripped jeans, it was only a matter of time before cutout leggings hit stores.
Lady Gaga and Rihanna have both been spotted in them:
Burberry Prorsum’s pre-fall collection for 2010 has a darker military feel than the label’s Spring 2010 Runway show of powdery dresses and trenches. The collection carefully mixes military masculine styles with lace and other lady-like details. These are a few of my favorite looks (photos courtesy: WWD online):
Take Note of the Trends:
This fall, let your taupes and browns take a break and try the season’s hottest makeup trend: gray eyeshadow. It may sound dull, but gray can be a refreshing, unexpected take on the neutral eye. The key is to find a way to make it work for you.
Living in a big city makes me extra susceptible to germs, claustrophobia, being caught in the rain, and developing fashion trends. But I’ll dwell on the positives. All throughout London I’ve been seeing certain women wearing cape coats. And with cold weather just around the corner, I think this chic look would definitely enhance the [...]
