SPRING 2014

 

 

Spring 2014 is around the corner and I am so excited. Fashion for 2014 is all about mixing patterns, enjoying color, and playing with your own personal style. This year we will see a lot of personal style peppered with the hottest trends. The most exciting part is the use of patterns and how well we are seeing designers mix them. My favorite was the polka dots and stripes look created by Christopher Baily for Burberry Prorsum and their Spring 2014 runway show. It really shows how one can be fashionable and fun all at the same time. Lace for women will be big. So will floral designs, cropped tops, and ladylike style. This will also be a year when we will see the British male style invade American male style. Men will venture into more color and fitted clothing. Pants will be ankle length. We will see more white denim on males jeans with tailored blazers. I especially love how men are also showing a love for accessories and playful looks. Like it's predecessors 2014 is showing a love of DENIM, DENIM, AND MORE DENIM. This year denim will be dressy, classy, fun, and casual. Enjoy having fun with your style and creating your own personal trendy looks.

Suits Rule the World......

 

 

As we get ready to end this wonderful year in fashion, I could not watch the year go away without giving tribute to hottest trend for females to come out of 2013.......SUITS! As ladies strutted the streets going to fashion shows, work, dinners, and meetings with friends, we had the privilege to some wonderfully made suits. These suits not only made a statement in every room, they also created a certain confidence within the females that wore them. The suits we saw this year were about more than just "a suit"....they were about making a statement. They were colorful, structured, fitted, and afforded so many options. Suits for 2013 were long pants, ankle pants, shorts, full coverage jackets, and jackets that let a little mystery be revealed. This is a trend that I feel will become more than just a trend.....it will be a fashion lovers closet staple.
