Fashion Inspired: Cirque du Soleil’s Mystère (LollieShopping Guest Post)

by

From our friends at LollieShopping.com:

A few weeks ago I saw the Cirque du Soleil show Mystère with a group of Las Vegas bloggers and social media enthusiasts, and I was completely mesmerized and inspired by the costumes and makeup. And the first thing the colors and prints reminded me of was the painterly print trend for Spring 2010. It’s such a beautiful, artistic trend that I can’t wait to play with it. I’m not much of an artist, but if wearing pretty, painterly prints can help me nurture my creative side, I’m going for it.

Here are a few images from Mystère to help inspire you. And below are a few of my favorite painterly picks. Enjoy!

Fashion Flashback

Edited by Debutante
As fashion weeks starting winding down, some are looking forward to the next trend in fashion. This week, I was thrilled to see so many bloggers focusing on the past -the history of fashion. An obvious passion of mine, vintage fashion has never been so influential. fête à fête reviews a gorgeous collection of vintage inspired jewelry. Fabulous Finds narrates a 1950s styled romp through Palm Springs. Oranges and Apples shares inspiring vintage Life magazine images. In politics, if you don’t learn from history, you’re destined to repeat it. In fashion, if you don’t learn from history, you won’t know you are repeating it!

Rock ‘n’ Classic: Kate Moss for Longchamp

by

Through the highlights of her career and through her tougher times, Kate Moss has been Longchamp‘s face for the past eight seasons. It is no surprise then, especially considering the overwhelming wave of designer collaborations the fashion industry has seen in recent years (just think about how many “X for Target” alerts have been found in your inbox), that Longchamp has launched a new collection designed by the model-muse. It only takes a glance at the titles of the collection’s three parts – Rock ‘N Casual, Rock ‘N Travel and Rock ‘N Glam – to figure out what this collaboration brings together: Kate Moss’ characteristic rocker chic and Longchamp’s famous brand of travel luxury. While the collection seems a lot more classic than strictly rock, the studs, zebra print and bohemian trimmings certainly call to mind the style icon’s penchant for fur, washed-out tones and cut-off denim. A little pricey, perhaps, but don’t forget, this is a collaboration: on top all that Kate Moss-ness is also Longchamp’s fine leather, classic designs, and travel-friendly sizes.

Budget Stylista: The Bolder the Better! (CollegeCandy Guest Post)

by

From our friends at CollegeCandy.com:

Spring is right around the corner!!

Okay that is a total lie BUT Spring Break is right around the corner, giving us all the perfect excuse to don a great dress. And this season the bolder, the better. All my favorite budget sites have a plethora of bright, bold dresses that are total beauts.

And the best about these banging buys? The bold color choice leaves the rest of the outfit simple. Feel free to pair with some gold bangles or a simple pair of earrings; just let the dress do the talkin’. That means no muss, no fuss, and no stressing out over which accessories to squeeze into that already over-stuffed suitcase. (Figuring out the clothes is hard enough.) Just throw a few of these in, toss in a pair of wedges and a pair of flats (right next to that bottle of Absolut), and you are ready for Acapulco or wherever your Spring Break destination may be. And – bonus round! – you can wear these well into spring and summer.

If only God would answer my prayers and let Spring come now! All I want is a sun dress, an iced coffee and a huge pair of sunglasses. But hey, he did answer my call with Pajama Jeans, so maybe I can hold out for a 60 degree March in the Midwest?
