Trending - Color Block

Dear Fashion addicts,
Have you been conquered by the colors? We sure are since last year, and to our great pleasure, color blocking continues in 2012 at whole new level.

This amazing trend allows everyone to be an artist expressing themselves through colors. Everything's allowed, from extreme neon blocking to pastels for those who prefer mild.
If you are not into total-look, you can block the accessory. Matching shoes+bag now have new meaning and it is: "Color them boldly" .

*Tip Don't rush with unknown. If you are not experienced with color blocking, start with colors you feel comfortable with. Total look can be really "walking on the edge" and to avoid risk of fashion

"Into the blue" Look

As we previously wrote, electric blue is one of the "it" colors this season. I feel great wearing accessories in this color (Marella Bag & Zara shoes) and entire look in "blue variations". Preferring lady-like style my Romwe trench-coat was a perfect Spring-refreshment together with HQ Market blouse...all in blue :) 

Although Total-Look is very in, I prefer opening it with some vivid color nails and 1 item in neutral color. For daily outfit, white trousers seemed like a good solution. 

Wish you could see my Marella leather bag crystals sparkling on artificial light. Bling Bling :) One of my favorites and its simply  catching eyes of everyone who see it. Zara shoes are perfectly comfortable with not-so-high heel for long spring days out.

Totally loving my romantic HQ Market blouse in pastel blue prints. Ideal for daily wear, but as the upper part is  not see-through it can go well under blazer for faculty and some business-style for those of you who are working.

Trend Report - Decorative Collars

Of many new trends 2012 brought, among our Top Favorites are Collars.

Studded, sequined, printed, embellished they are the new "It" accessory.

The best thing is that you can make them yourself by cutting out from and old shirt, or personalize it directly on the shirt with pearls, sequins or studs for signature style. Before you think you cannot do it, we are telling you YES you can! And it is so easy!

They are your new "necklace substitute" as you can even wear them on bare skin. Brighten up your casual outfits with bold collar and you will make a statement. Wear it on your party outfit instead of jewelry for sexy-chic look.

Calling herself Harajuku Barbie, she certainly leaves impression on everyone.

Her eccentric fashion style probably started as Marketing trick to draw attention to her raising career but very fast Nicki managed to evolve from "freak" (how many described her style) to Fashionista, and someone even naming today as fashion icon.

If there's one word we would have to describe her fashion, it would be "BOLD".  Not afraid to experiment, enjoying the way her body is, and not listening to the critics. Even you can hardly imagine yourself going out in the street dressed like NM , there are few amazing advice many should take from Nicki in creating personal style.

Nicki Minaj 2009

She is a big fan of jumpsuits, always glamming them up with colors and accessorizes.  Nicki shows self-confidence proudly wearing her curves but most importantly feeling good in her body .
#Tip No matter how you are, learn to feel good about yourself, stop looking for role models you'd like to be like, but become your own.

Makeup Trend: Metallic Eyes

This spring will be all about metallics on eyes and nudes on lips. Metallic eyes were one of the biggest trends on fall/winter catwalks, and this makeup tendency continues to live both on catwalks and streets. Be it simple or smokey; gold, silver, bronze or even blue, metallic eyes is the best makeup for celebrating festive nights or for day looks, but in a simpler, calmer version.

Brown eyes: Brown eyed girls are really lucky since they can experiment with all kinds of colors and makeup looks. The best colors for accenting your eyes are deep shades of brown, plum, blue, gold, purple, and intense green. Use shades darker than your eye color for making a dramatic look and shades that are lighter than your eye color for creating a subtle, day look.

Backless Dresses

If you're not a fan of showing too much cleavage, you'll be happy to know that the back is back to fashion. Backless dresses and shirts are becoming more and more popular as a trend, so our prediction is that this spring and summer the streets and red carpets will be crowded with women showing off their beautiful backs. 

Why the back? 
It's suggestive and sexy, yet mysterious and subtle. You can strike a unique balance between showing off a lot of skin, while keeping things classy. Also, for those girls who aren't satisfied with their cleavage size this trend can be a great way to show off their best parts, and hide the imperfections.  

Celebrities such as Rihanna, Adriana Lima, Blake Lively, Kate Hudson, Rosie Huntington Whiteley, Jennifer Lopez, Gwyneth Paltrow etc. just love their backless dresses, they realized that this trend is amazing, because it redefines "sexy". While the usual things we associate "sexy" with (cleavage, short and tight) can turn out as a border between sexy and tacky, a backless piece always keeps an air of elegance and unbelievable self-confidence. 

Gwyneth Paltrow looked gorgeous in this blush pink backless gown with a stylish bow-tie detail at the back.

How to wear it: First of all, you should balance the naked back with simplified, covered-up front. Forget about necklaces and big earrings; backless dress itself isn't very versatile, so you have to choose wisely. 

For a day in the city wear your backless dress with simple shoes and a small purse, it would be advisable to pick a purse with some embellishment, that will compensate for the lack of jewelry . The best colors for a day look are black, nude and white, but you can also pick a floral print for a romantic look. Stilettos are the preferred choice when it comes to footwear, but you can also pull it off with single-colored wedges  or even Oxford flats. 

Paris Hilton chose a hot army green backless dress matched with black details 

For more casual but equally sexy and seductive look, backless tops are an easy way to show an unexpected bit of skin but also stay in the casual zone. You can wear your backless top with denim, maxi skirt or colorful trousers. That way you are allowed to add some accessories for an effortlessly stylish look. Try with  cascading back necklace that focuses attention on your back.

For a night out or a glamorous event a backless dress is the perfect solution as it can easily transform you into the star of the night. For an elegant look, you can never go wrong with neutral colors, but also don't be intimidated to use the vibrant ones. Wear your vivid color dress with simple black/nude shoes and a matching clutch. Include just one small item of jewelry: it could be a pair of earrings or a silver bracelet.

Hairstyle: The best hairstyle for any of these looks is certainly a bun and a ponytail. Depending on the event, you can choose a braided up-do for elegant outfits or a messy bun for casual looks. The backlessness is the entire point of the outfit - you have to show it off!

Appropriate Bras: Last but not least, bra straps should not be visible under any conditions and plastic straps are a big no. Also, avoid wearing bra for at least a few hours before you wear the dress. Wear a bra with very low back strap or with some embellished straps, a corset with low back or a silicone invisible bra.
